Great OT! Hoping for good reviews today. Nevertheless I'm in day 1. Glad I can already dive into the game tonight on PC.
Nice OT! Release times below:
6 PM CET is a review embargo time afaik, not release date on PC (it says Feb 13th on Steam in this timezone).
Steam release times are always wrong. I got the info from gamerant
I wasn't really sold until I read it has the Vampyr system of sacrificing the souls you capture through the game and giving them to your wife to get stronger or freeing them. Love having some stakes like that encouraging a new playthrough
Amazing ot Hadok !
I had my eye on this since the reveal and it's one of my most anticipated games of the year. I'm optimistic for reviews around 80-85, and if that's the case I'm buying it day 1.
The atmosphere and setting look amazing and it seems to have a mature narrative with some weighty choices. The combat is obviously heavily inspired by the God of War remake and it looks good enough for a game of this budget.

Been looking forward to this since the 2022 reveal. I'm amazed that developers like Dontnod are finding ways to be so prolific within the modern gaming landscape and I definitely want to support their output.
Edit:
I didn't realize this had been teased prior to 2022. You learn something new every day.

Not sure on this one. On one hand, I really like the premise and the setting. The world looks genuinely interesting. Not a huge fan of how the combat is looking and Dont Nod are a bit hit and miss for me when it comes to writing.
Granted, I never played much of Vampyr so I'm not sure if it's different team.

Huh, that's weird. Wonder why it says 13th on Steam then , first time I see something like that.
Really loved vampyr but don't know if I'm going to jive with this. Switching to a god of war clunky ass style of combat along with the claustrophobic camera may just make me wait for a sale at best.
Why does it feel like this game is going under the radar ? Not sure if it's lack of marketing or whatever but I haven't seen much of this game, even this close to release, hopefully that isn't a bad sign. Fingers crossed it's decent because it looks pretty good from the few trailers I've seen.
Oooo I wonder if I should just get it on Xbox to do the New Zealand hop today 🤔

i will need to find a solution for the gifs , i am sorry, OT doesn't look good on smartphone.....but...later :D
(I've mainly taken information from official sources and sites, I don't know if there are people who worked on the game who are wandering around on resetera, I hope I haven't made too many mistakes :D )
-i forgot to mention the game will have 5 different endings, depending on your choices.
-And the official website has an exemple of how New Eden and the surrounding area can be impacted by the choices you make throughout the story :

Even for a AA game it still seems like there was very little marketing / not many trailers. I've hardly seen anything on the game and it's releasing tomorrow. It will be a shame if the game is good and it bombs because nobody knows if it's out lol

there are a lot of videos actually.
Some of the trailers have millions of views.
But marketing is focused on social medias,and no previews.
I don't know if the "big" websites will have reviews.
Probably why I haven't seen much of the game or even knew it was out this week. Lack of previews and coverage from bigger media sites really pushed this under the radar.
Garden variety drops or something more irritating? Hope your PS5 is dying!

Only had time to start it up and play for maybe 15 minutes - but the game makes a good first impression!
Standard Don't Nod attention to story and atmosphere and GOW-like gameplay. Feelin good about my preorder

I know Focus does this kind of little preorder bonus,but is it just a new skin for the starting gear,or does it have different stats ?
edit:oh it's written "weapon skin",i am blind ! ok :D
I haven't redeemed my code, but since all "skins" come with certain bonuses, I assume this will as well.

According to Steam, the outfit increases melee damage by 5%. The outfit I'm wearing, which is the standard outfit, does the same. So it's purely cosmetic, it seems.
