Re: No Man's Sky

You don't need to preorder regardless these days to get a release day copy of a game. The preorders are mainly there for preorder bonuses.

Re: No Man's Sky

A great read posted today by developer Rami Ismail.

On Day 1 Patches, and Cert Process

Highly recommended for those who truly do not know the insight on how recent development works in this regard.

"One could argue that developers then, should make certain that a game is perfect when they submit it to disc, which is not an invalid stance. It’s just an impractical stance. If you’ve got months to improve upon a game that went through cert, do you think you would leave those months? Do you think audiences would appreciate a developer just kind of doing nothing for three months? Can you imagine the Kickstarter outrage if a developer, three months from launch, posted ‘we’re done, it’s good, we’re not touching it again until you get to play in three months’? Anybody arguing that a game should be done when it goes ‘gold’ is living in the 90s."

Yep.

Agreed, unless you wanted the Limited Edition, since this truly is one. Hardest LE to come by outside of niche Japanese one's on the 3DS, etc..

This is hilarious... not a super spoiler, may get some pumped for interaction/depth.

I thought I was offering to help an alien out with a bounty.

Turns out I was offering to take his place as husband to an alien lass.

Re: No Man's Sky

This is a game that I would love to have but don't have near the time to invest

No Man's Sky

So I stupidly did not pre-order. What are the odds that I can walk into a Best Buy the minute that it opens and pick up a copy?

I tried to select to pre-order, but I won't be able to pick it up in store if I do. I certainly don't want it shipped to me, because at this point I will not be able to get it as early as possible.

What are my options? Looks like YTG has a smart way of going about it: select a pre-order in case he can't get it in-store, and if he does get it in-store I assume he just returns the pre-order. Probably going to be my route.

I just pre-ordered it for pick up at Best Buy. Might vary based on the store though.

Edit: just saw your subsequent post. Enjoy!

I didn't think this one had the $10 bonus for preordering?

I'm new to GCU..... I may have misread, but I thought all games you preordered came with the 10$ ecertificate

You get them on some, but not all. Here's the list of current games.

Yes, you should be getting that.

If it doesn't ring up as $47.99, tell them you have GCU. (EDIT: oh the "I have GCU" post is my favorite of all time lol)

Definitely should get that. Did you only do the $5 down in-store? Online it shows discounted price in cart.

Re: No Man's Sky

I keep telling myself I should wait for a sale with Madden coming out in a few weeks but I don't know if I can help myself. Come Tuesday and I will probably cave.

You PS4 guys will wake up tomorrow knowing that before you go back to bed you will have entered a new universe full of possibilities. I'm so jealous. I'm hoping to get Bolt to name a plant after me, or something
