At this rate im going to receive my oddworld card before the game... i send like 3 email every 2 weeks because youve cancel my triple pack and i choose a option you gave me. And ive got 0 news about shipping. Still hold firewatch in hostage at the same time. Can you give update about this.. Im usualy patient.. but this is ridiculous.
Good idea i was contacting them via the email they wrote me a first. They respond twice, after that its total silence.

Really want to play Oxenfree. Don't want to crack open the LRG. What do.
I hope it works and you get your games ASAP.
Get a digital copy or a second physical copy on eBay

Most of these games are dirt cheap digitally.

I think they said they were looking into other methods of dealing with it since the hold service was going to cause tons of extra work for them, I'm not sure we'll see it return in the same way it's currently being used by some of us.
I was actually thinking about the hold service the other day when combining orders and that worry of my order now becoming quite large. Last time the new LRG box arrived it was only sealed by a single circular piece of tape which had broken - I'm guessing it might have just been the cold weather that caused it but the games could have easily just gone missing in the post, hopefully the large orders are much more secure.

Anyone interested in buying my LRG Silver Case preorder? I will only charge exactly what it cost me.
Silver Case is the game that soured me on all future LRG releases. And after reading this news, I literally don't even want my preorder.

I feel so bad for them. They got totally fucked on that release
Yeah, LRG really got the short end of the stick with the Silver Case. Not saying buyers shouldn't be angry, just that that anger towards LRG would be misplaced. It's not like they wanted to screw over buyers, and if anything, I feel they're probably doing their best to work things out with Suda51.
Why would this ruin all future LRG releases, when this was a decision made by the Japanese side of things?

Yeah I feel quite sorry for them. From what they've said, they were also surprised by the NISA PS4 announcement. The timing was terrible as well, just shortly before their pre-orders closed. I guess the printing delay could have been avoided with a bit more experience but quality is definitely more important than shipping on time.

Fixed.
If I were a scalper (i.e. a core part of LRG's customer base), my main interest would be making a quick buck. Constant delays would hurt my "business model".
Oh noes! Then you can't sell it on eBay within that 30-day policy!!!
As a collector, and someone that opens them all anyways, I'm a pretty patient person (which I guess can be a rarity in the gaming world). Heck, here I am also worried on the Summon Nights set from Gaijinworks, as well
Those are always a wait!theSlacker

Yup, same. It's why I don't really care about the delay. It's also why I wish they did preorders with a large window to get your order in like this for all the games instead of the normal way. But since resellers are such a large percentage of their business it isn't ideal for them to do it that way.

So uhm, I straight-up asked Image & Form if the physical release of Steamworld on Vita was still coming and got this response:

March surprise announcement from LRG?

Josh* mentioned on Twitter that their next run will be March 17th, so that's the earliest it can be.

3 days before my next payday. I can live with that. Though I'll be on holiday then, wonder if I'll be able to get an order in D:
Really looking forward to this one.

A combination of too many releases in a short time, my "gotta have them all" mentality causing me to buy something that I didn't want in the first place, and then immediately learning after purchasing this will be an all around inferior version.
Immediately? It's like 4 months later.

PS4 special edition was announced rather quickly after pre-orders closed.

I can understand being soured on it, but it's really not on LRG that the devs decided to put more content in the PS4 version.
Yeah... but you said superior version.
It was only revealed a couple days ago that the PS4 version was getting some extra content now. Which would make it superior.

Doug seems to be teasing again. Maybe it's finally coming in March.

He also said he has so many Everybody Loves Raymond pics on his computer.
I bet he probably has enough to last months.

When and what will be the next Limited Run release? Any confirmation yet? Will there still be something in February?

I couldn't find anything on his Twitter that said that btw, do we have a link?

Thanks! That means it's gonna be a good few weeks for my wallet. Might go wild on a few Play-Asia spends then.
Although judging by the teases, if March 17th is Steamworld & Ray Gigant then it'll be an expensive day

Oh fml haha! I placed 3 separate orders last month (Digimon Next Order Vita; Macross Delta Scramble; Super Robot Wars V). Wish they'd had that running then!

Could be a while.

Oh yes please, that would be awesome. Been holding off on Steamworld for PS4 for a while as I was hoping it'd still come for Vita.

Same here, but with the Wii U release.

Considering that LRG specializes in console and handheld gaming, and I am their target audience, it's safe to say it being a PS4 version alone makes it superior.
That's unfortunate.
I'd do anything for a 'The Witness' physical release
It does seem like a game where it would make sense to have a physical release.

The Swapper vita + PS4 arrived. nice box as well. Thanks LRG for making this gem of a game physical. Ill post pics in a bit.

You are very welcome! We love the boxes, only downside is the blue kind of rubs off on your fingers, but that will let you try out for the blue man group!
One comment I'll make on Curses & Chaos is that the cover art is super dark. As someone who has worked in print mags for a long time, I know how tough it can be to print darker artwork and get the balance right (while also factoring in the paper type).
Obviously it's not my call, but my suggestion would be to try to do more brightly-colored covers whenever possible. Brighter colors pop far more and you have less chance of having details all wash together—which I think is especially important for physical releases that are meant to feel "special".
Dark covers are dangerous business, is what I'm saying!

Ah. You should have just said you would have preferred a console version from the start.
I don't care personally.
