Big enough for its own thread



Anybody who's anybody with a PS3 will be picking this up this weekend or shortly thereafter

I'm taking Friday off so I'll be getting acclimated fairly quickly

Lets get some names for a TWW clan once this thing gets going

Save some dollars if you don't have to have it day of release. 49.99, no tax, and free 3-5 day shipping, and some sort of walkthrough/gameplay DVD.

Good source of information for the game. Also check out the official website. It's got real time stat tracking and this really neat battle replay thing. I too am tempted to take Friday off since I'll be out of town for the rest of the weekend.

2/25/2009 11:42:07 AM

haha, I'm taking Friday off as well for this. I'll have to get you added. My PSN is NeedlesMcGirk.

saw an internet rumor that Target is already selling this

I'm gonna go check it out at lunch

I'd call, but I use to work at Target, so I know firsthand how dumb the employees are

2/25/2009 12:00:50 PM

Uh yeah, let us know haha.

2/25/2009 12:32:05 PM

Slave, i'll be picking this up but it probably won't be for another week. Get ranked up and start us a clan. You can count me in on that shit.

2/25/2009 12:56:04 PM

Ok, I'm all for giving jobs to mentally challenged people, but they should be menial jobs that require a very low level of skill and responsibility

The Target at Stonecrest in Charlotte has someone with Down's Syndrome in charge of their electronics department

He's like a 35 year old guy with a definitive Downs face...nice as can be, but completely incompetent

I'm sure he's not running the department full time, but he was definitely in charge for the time being...he had the keys to the game lockers and everything

He also had no idea what the hell I was talking about when I asked about the game, so I said fuck it, I can wait two more days

2/25/2009 1:50:24 PM

I used to work at that Target. Been many a year though since so don't know of that guy.

2/25/2009 3:38:41 PM

man time has flown by. Comes out tomorrow. Hopefully it will not disappoint.

2/26/2009 9:10:26 AM

Can't believe I'm considering going to the midnight release for this

I haven't been to one since Halo 2

2/26/2009 9:28:22 AM

I wasn't aware anyone was doing midnight release for this. I was thinking about doing the ghetto midnight release though (show up at a 24 hour Wal-mart at midnight ).

2/26/2009 9:34:26 AM

No wall marts within 20 mins of my house here but there's a gamestop 5 minutes out

I wasn't aware they were doing the release tonight until I got one of those recorded calls yesterday

Sounds like a 6er of Diet Mountain Dew and a 5 am bedtime is in store for tonight

2/26/2009 9:40:11 AM

will pickup after work and play all evening tomorrow

they do that. they had one at checkout and it took so FUCKING long that i called a manager over. all they could do was apologize. wtf.

2/26/2009 10:42:21 AM

when walmart was giving out the $50 giftcard with the ps3 / mgs4 package i was calling every single one in the area trying to find one and they were actually pretty competent (especially the one in cary)

but the one in holly springs would put me on hold and hung on me 3 times

is sent in an online complaint but i doubt it ever came to anything - i really wanted to drive down there

2/26/2009 10:55:38 AM

id do a 10pm release, midnight, by the time you get ready to play its 1am

2/26/2009 11:39:17 AM

^ yeah I can't even stay up that late anymore, haha.

2/26/2009 11:58:10 AM

2/26/2009 12:17:57 PM

2/26/2009 1:26:54 PM

Getting ready to head out to gamestop in an hour or so

Kinda feel like a fucking loser, but fuck it

2/26/2009 10:41:52 PM

^ where are you going to get it? thinkin about goin with packboozie tonight to get a copy or two

2/26/2009 11:08:18 PM

gamestop in charlotte

i got a call from what sounded like a hot girl and got excited, then I realized it was just the recording of Ashely from gamestop

2/26/2009 11:10:52 PM

aw, was hopin for raleigh... maybe ashley will talk to us here too

2/26/2009 11:14:37 PM

I think I might pick up a copy of this tomorrow morning.

2/26/2009 11:21:45 PM

Is this for the 360 as well?

Oh wait...

HAHAHAHA

A PS3 exclusive. Cute.

2/26/2009 11:25:54 PM

doesn't matter i've heard its pretty much Gears of War 2 anyway

yes i have a PS3 no 360

2/27/2009 8:21:49 AM

i can see Slave now, waking up on his couch in his boxers surrounded by 6 empty cans of mountain dew strung around him and the game looping through its start menu.

2/27/2009 9:54:58 AM

dude you were way off

it was a recliner, i had sweatpants on, and it was only 4 cans and a kfc box

nice to know you think of me in my underwear tho

Got through the first chapter of the campaign on Veteran, and then my DS3 battery ran out of juice Lack of foresight on my part. Really awesome though, and challenging. Probably going to finish the campaign before I touch multi. Add me to the clan!!

add me

2/27/2009 1:22:45 PM

ok, after finally playing the demo, I think I am definitely need to get some of the triggers when i get the full game

[Edited on February 27, 2009 at 5:01 PM. Reason : ]

2/27/2009 4:45:20 PM

so far I like the gameplay, although I wish the player could turn around faster.

2/27/2009 4:53:30 PM

me and packboozie both got a copy last night... gotta be honest... my first impressions are that the game sucks the graphics are fantastic... but beyond that? what's with the flickering menus (usability anyone?) and the camera looks like you're drunk... is there a party system at all? i don't get it.. i'm just feeling really let down on this one.. and seriously if i'm missing something please tell me, cause i don't want this $60 to go to waste

2/27/2009 5:16:10 PM

I think the controller is very sluggish at responding to input, so I hope they fix this with a patch here shortly.

then again, it's probably much more realistic to not allow a fully clad infantry fighter to be able to freely rotate around while sprinting.

[Edited on February 27, 2009 at 6:03 PM. Reason : it's not supposed to be Call of Duty: Galaxies at War]

Its not, its a stylistic choice, according to reviewer on Gamespot, whom said h liked it a lot after he got use to it.

2/27/2009 6:04:37 PM

where's everyone at tonight?

2/27/2009 11:38:18 PM

update 1.11 is out now. I wonder what they decided to change already.

2/27/2009 11:51:03 PM

I cannot aim to save my life

the cross air either crawls across the screen or jumps untrollably

I really want to like this game, but its hard right now

2/28/2009 12:18:39 AM

I"m in for the clan when I get the chance to pick the game up

Im in the same boat. The MP just seems like garbage compared to teh COD games.

This will be my last FPS until the next COD is out.

wow, just like a real gun. trop trying to snipe with an assault rifle and your problem is solved.

I really like the circle instead of crosshairs for the shotgun.

[Edited on February 28, 2009 at 1:30 AM. Reason : I'm glad they made sniper rifles the last thing you unlock]

Me too but its not working.

I actually am not half bad at the game going positive but the game is literally making me sick with the motions of the screens. The players names jumping and the cross hairs and the menus are mind numbingly bad.

2/28/2009 3:59:36 AM

ive enjoyed the single player....

ive learned that it is a mix...50% of the time running toward enemies and shooting and beating them if they arent down; 50% of the time standing behind cover using the sights
