Vampyr

Just skimmed through it but looks really interesting. I thought it would be a case of trying to be a 'good' vampire but his kills in that looked really cool and satisfying, tempting to do a kill all run. 60 citizens you can talk to and kill/spare. Their connections with each other sound really deep as well, looks to have an absolute ton of ways it can play out.

Also, they were pronouncing it vam-pire but I was calling it vam-peer. Think I'll stick to my way.

He calls it an AA game, not a AAA. I'm worried about the length...given that there's only 60 citizens. I take it the randoms don't count.

If the price is that of an AA game I'll deffo go for it.

Hopefully your right, hellblade senua sacrifice proved there's a market there for a tight curated experience to fill in between the AAA juggernauts

Definite and welcome market for AA games like Hellblade. Bit pricey at 60 quid RRP though. Smyths are selling it for 50 with an extra fiver discount if you preorder online and collect the game in store. Will definitely go that route closer to launch if the reviews are sounding good. I'd only be happy to give Don't Nod my money though so hope this does well.

Ah that's a bit much I'd assumed it would be priced more like hellblade.

Same. Quite disappointed to hear that.
Especially if the game director says that it's NOT a AAA game....then why is it being priced as such ?

To be fair the price 60 euro isn't the price for a triple A game anymore (well most of them, there are exceptions). I do think it should be a little more cheaper to be fair, but its not triple A price, those are 70 euro these days.

If yer an idiot and shop in gamestop :rolleyes:

Sure and Vampyr will not be 60 euro in a lot of places as well (you can see someone saying that above). I went with the RRP for simplicity sake. Price vary all over the place, depending on where you shop.

Gamestop is the only place i see games going for 70, EVER. Everywhere else is 60 and below.. You can usually get the game going for 70 in gamestop for 50 or 55 in either argos or smyths. Or buy off amazon for 50 and below :pac:

Yeah, Gamestop charge the full RRP (as do the various digital stores). Last gen I use to get my games for 45 euro from HMV.

Trying to compare prices via the various retailers discounts would be far to much effort, so I went with the RRP, as that is the easiest way to do so.

For example Vampyr is 60 euro on Xbox and Playstation digital stores, most other triple A games are 70 euro on those stores (except Sony exclusive titles sometimes).

Looking forward to getting this next week.

No review yet and its out in 3 days. That's disappointing

Kinda normal. Review the day before launch would be early imo.

Really rooting for this one, but I just have that unshakable feeling it'll be a missed opportunity.

I think I'm more hyped that once it's released, Don't Nod can then concentrate fully on life is strange 2 but I really hope this turns out good.

Out today....wanna play...but not for 60

Have it pre-ordered in Smyths looking forward to it

I've seen a few reviews say the same thing; shallow gameplay wrapped in a great story and atmospheric world. "Missed opportunity" was mentioned a couple of times too. Might still be worth a playthrough at that rate - will wait for actual punter feedback.

Combat is terrible, good story and very good abilities but my god the combat is clumsey as FOOK! Controller does not help either.

Shame really.....

Completely agree with what your saying. If they tightened up the combat, it would be so much better.
