I fell for the Best Buy preorder trap again.

My own fault for trusting them for a measily $10 reward for preordering with them again.

I got an email today saying they couldn't fulfill my order and that it's delayed.

Oh, and that they'll do me the courtesy of cancelling for me if I don't receive it by Nov 15th.

Thanks Best Buy!

Everyone that bought Evil Within 2 is still waiting for the pre-order bonus code, including myself. They tried blaming Bethesda.

I hear the game doesn't have gear, is that true? So you stay in your super hero costume the whole game?

Not even remotely true, I've been constantly getting costume pieces.

If the means stats gears, those would be the artifacts.

Pre-ordered the gold edition from EB Games AUS yesterday and I redeemed the Season Pass code that came with the game, but the Season Pass still says “purchase for $44.95” on the PSN. All that downloaded were the Stick of Truth costumes and items pack. Is this what’s meant to happen or did they print the wrong code?

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Can't believe how slow this thread is moving, this game is big enough that it's the #1 game on Twitch right now.

Did a lot of GAF boycott this? Lmao

?

 

[sam777]

Can anyone tell me if the Stick of Truth code on the Xbox is the backwards compatible version or an upscaled version designed for the Xbox One?

 

[LOLCats]

XB1 is version is not the old 360 version, i believe ps4 and xb1 are PC ports to new x86 console architecture. I don't know if they have any enhancements.

 

[Setmeni]

Just got to the part

Spoiler

where you have to catch the stripper and escape from the one rather large stripper

and it is kicking my butt, I can’t seem to beat it at all been an hour and no progress.

 

[malfcn]

Does the Gold version on Xbox redeem the whole game and pass, or just the pass?

 

[adj_noun]

I hear the game doesn't have gear, is that true? So you stay in your super hero costume the whole game?

Costumes are cosmetic. Artifacts are stat affecting gear.

This way if you get a look you like early on you can wear it for the whole game.

 

[N° 2048]

Only couple hours in and already my GOTY w/ Nier Automata.

 

[Stiler]

I hear the game doesn't have gear, is that true? So you stay in your super hero costume the whole game?

There's like 40 something costumes you can get (either by finding them or buying them in the various shops) and you can mix/match pieces together, not true at all that there isn't gear.

The costume pieces are purely cosmetic.

" Artifacts" are the main "stat" based loot you find that you equip and it gives you bonuses.

This way you can look however you want without feeling like you need to wear something because it's more "powerful" or gives you bonuses you like over a costume piece you like the looks of better.

Also you can find other cosmetic items, such as hair/facial features, etc like the stick of truth did. I already found like 4 new hairstyles and the infamous "ball" chin.

Aw my game keeps crashing on PS4. I'm getting the CE-34878-0 error. This happens on Uncharted too. Might have to send the ol' girl in for service.

 

[WaterAstro]

Guys, I'm gonna have to freeze myself so the delivery guy will get here faster.

 

[kirblar]

Best Buy's overnighting my copy, at least. Time to grind out some Overwatch Arcade then.

I switched to store pickup and it was ready for me shortly after they opened

 

[eizarus]

Walked into my local GAME store and saw a bunch of staff were chatting. I asked "Which editions of the Fractured But Whole do you have?". The girl closest to starts telling me about the Coon statue, sees two black guys behind me, panics and whispers "Jesus,how did they get away with this game?" while looking completely flustered. That poor girl's awkward moment was hilariously awkward. She carefully referred to it as the Raccoon statue after that.

Ill probably get round to playing it tomorrow and can't wait. The first one was so good.

 

[teh_pwn]

Really enjoying it. I think I'm around 10 hours in and I feel like there's 4 more so in gonna catch up on sleep and enjoy the last bit tomorrow.

Edit from what I can tell actually I may only be halfway. Sweet.

That's fucking hilarious. Poor girl couldda saved herself some hassle and just called it the Cartman statue lmao.

Looked up a let's play to see how far I am, looks like I'm about 40 percent of the way through. Doesn't feel as fresh as the first game and it's super annoying that combat doesn't let you attack from any square next to an opponent, but it's a totally worthy sequel for the most part.

 

[purbeast]

Well I just caved and ordered it. I'm too curious not to order it, and I chatted with Amazon customer service and they even are giving me a 25% credit after it ships since I didn't get the 20% preorder discount lol.

So not too bad. I'll have it Thursday. Never played SOT so I'll be curious about that as well.

 

[ejoshua]

Are we able to change our characters appearance? I am still in the tutorial and not exactly happy with what I'm working with now, and would be interested in having an opportunity to change it before I have to restart.

Very much so. Don't sweat it.

I'm 11 hours in. I just unlocked

the hacking ability

. No idea how far in I am. Game gets better and better. It's fucking hilarious too.

im about 6 hrs in and have not gotten an option to change my appearance in respect to skin tone. Though stuff like hair, clothes, facial hair, etc. is all apart of your costume so you can change that as much as you want

The 1st game was more of a nostalgia binge of the first 15 seasons. This one feels like it's focused on the Coon and recent seasons, and it's packed with more original writing and plot.

Oh man if you mess with the contraption in Cartman's apartment you unlock a secret ending with First Blood's credits theme lmao

this is fantastic it really should of been a trophy/achievement similar to far cry 4 fast ending

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I really like these "game over" things. I was messing around with the rubix cube and broke it ... when you first get down in the basement. Also missed the first "cool guy" jump lol

Yeah, I missed the jump too. I love the game over music.

Spoiler

First Blood song!

Done for the night at about 10 hours in. The game is just killing it, probably going to wind up being way better than the Stick of Truth.

Can you turn off Towelie I just started and I already want him gone

Best Buy is not delivering my pre-ordered forever-ago copy until Wednesday for some reason.

Best Buy is not delivering my pre-ordered forever-ago copy until Wednesday for some reason.

Has yours shipped yet and is there a BB nearby? If so you can switch it to store pickup.

Their online shipment of this was all sorts of fucked up. I specifically called on Monday questioning my order because all my previous BB preorders ship on Sunday or early Monday but this one stayed at "preordered" all day. Rep told me they have not received their shipment yet but I will get it on Tuesday. Before going to bed last night I got the email saying it was delayed until 11/15 so I ended up switching it to store pickup. Was able to pickup my copy about 1/2 hr after the store opened today so it seems like the stores got their copies but somehow online orders got shafted?

Or if you can't wait and there isn't another around, just got to GS or Target get the game and return the copy you get from BB when it arrives

Same here. Although apparently I am not getting the coon hat either (anyone don't want theirs? lol)

I agree. The content is richer and more original. Gameplay improved. I think the reviews are lower because it was expected to be better and lately people have pushed back on some less tasteful stuff South Park has done.

 

[outunderthestars]

Have a copy arriving Thursday but not sure if I really want it or if I just want to finally play stick of truth...

 

[sugarman]

I can't seem to get the rewards to unlock... I already used the Ubisoft Club app but if I try to put the Assassins outfit on I get sent back to Ubisoft Club :\

Edit: Nvm I can't read

No, you're a towel!

I got an email yesterday that the pre-order bonus for the hat shipped out.

Just got an email today that said my Windows Gold Edition is delayed, and if they can't fill it by Nov. 15th, will cancel my order.

: I

Edit: and this was for a preorder I placed in 2016

My order shipped today and should be here tomorrow. False alarm! I have put down my pitch-fork.

So about how long is the game? I just beat

Spoiler

Professor Chaos and started Day 3.

Towlie is about as trollish as I thought it'd be.

Probably one of my favorite pre-order doodads.

That sounds far more fucked up than it is funny. Any impressions from people who don't think the normalisation of racist language amongst whites is hilarious?

Also I'm curious about the side quest quallity? Do they feel less fleshed out and more repetitive than those in the first game?

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

30 hours including side missions and story missions.

....according to one review, and 20 hours including side missions according to another review I read. I'm waiting to see some of our times on here.

The side quests so far are lame fetch quests and "go here and talk to this person". Standard Ubi filler game length extenders.

I read the polygon review where the reviewer was like “I don’t really find the show / humor that funny and I haven’t watched in years ¯_(&#12484_/¯”.... yeah. This game is made for the fans. Sooooo many tiny details.

 

[jrcbandit]

Anyone having crashing issues on the PC version? Was fine yesterday but getting lots of crashes today. The only difference is I changed from the RTM version of Fall Windows 10 Creator Update to the final version with a small patch. Wonder if that is causing issues ;p.
Edit: It was Malwarebytes causing the issue. But it didn't do that yesterday, weird.
