Oh, that's a bit shite. I bought Liberation a few months back; I wouldn't have bothered if I'd known it was incomplete.

Yup, always found it odd that the plot never really ends at the end of Ch4, but really comes to a conclusion in Ch5. And then why they wouldn't patch it into the game for Vita?

Anyone using this grip? Planning to buy one as well.
Just got one on ebay, I was cramping up after 3 deathmatch games.
Good few levels in. Turns out I'm under embargo until the morning of the 4th, so one last screenshot from me until then.
How is this possible *drools*
Well, this game has quality >>>> quantity written all over it.

Nuts how this happens to people.
I find the vita's form factor to be perfect. Especially with the hori silicone skin.
Story is set between KZ1 and KZ2. Should be no problem.

So so good, not so good with a screen protector though it pinches it and causes air bubbles on the screen but only in the top corners.

Got it yesterday so a few impressions from mission 1:
- Took me 45 minutes with a bit of exploring. Apparently I only found half of the intels in the level. It'd take you probably half this time if you just went and bulldozed through it.
- Hacking is seriously hard. You have to be super fast. Probably just takes some getting used to.
- Level was surprisingly open-ish. Its not completely linear. You can explore a couple of different paths, look for intels etc.
- Game is challenging. Playing on normal but died a few times already - especially nearer to the end of mission 1.
Finished the first mission in about 30-35 minutes. Really feels like a full blown console experience.
Died at the first explosives charge, didn't think I had to use multitouch to activate it
Unfortunately, you can't deactivate auto aim, which I totally hate. Playing on normal right now, maybe that's the problem.
Also it seems you can't skip the mission briefing and intro. Just restarted a mission and had to watch everything again.

That water animation when rappelling down. 0/10
Seriously though, game looks incredible and I really hope similar games are made for the Vita in terms of quality and graphical capabilities. Wish I was playing it this week but alas, one more to go. Gives me time to play Rayman and suffer through Rome II's technical issues. How big is it? I'll be buying the retail copy but I'm just wondering.
That building and the general setting remind me of the first footage of shadow fallA few quick snaps from the first SP mission. I'm beyond impressed, this game is fantastic.
Yeah I immediately thought of Shadow Fall when I saw those pictures.
Ran into a bug were I couldn't shoot anymore until I left to the system menu once.
Hacking is harder than expected, which I like. Getting intel is also pretty difficult.
Three missions in, I am really enjoying the game. Presentation isn't top notch (e.g. Uncharted) but still good, even by console standards.

Those screens are outstanding, I'm 100% on-board on this one!

Embargo ends in four and a half hours. My review won't be up for then, but I figure most should be. Regardless, here's a picture.
Yeah, wish I could at least buy it on my VIta right now, so it seemed a little less of a wait.
Wow, just wow. The game just got better since level 4. Mission and encounter design as well as the pacing are great. Gunplay is so much fun and using the vanguards is nice.
Changed up my loadout pretty late to vary my playstyle a little bit. I am not sure about the black market system, it's a cool idea but on the other hand I prefer picking up weapons from enemies to change up the gameplay more often. Also you can abuse it for some encounters easily by restocking your vanguards.
Big problem is that I am already on level 8 after 4 hours of playtime. Levels are more around 30 minutes long. Quality is great though and I know the replayability is pretty high. Still, I guess the playtime may be an issue for some.

Someone posted it earlier that there's no online pass for retail, but there is for digital.
I hope they're right - as I'm about to head out and pick up an AU copy for my US account

Just bought my copy, downloading the patch now. Got given a Helghast Sackboy Keyring with my purchase.
FYI my copy is the Australian version, and it contains NO slip to enter a code for an online pass.

What do you think the general review will be like?

Metacritic of 3/100. Worse than Superman 64.
haha me too, thats what i was waiting for, seen anywhere cheaper than EBs $53?
Preorder justified.
High scores across the board, and then a 5/10 from either Polygon, Eurogamer or Jim Sterling?

BigW have it listed for $48, but in my own experience they never have stock for 'non AAA blockbusters' on launch.

Gives more reason to purchase it.
Sony will try to get rid of it by putting all copies in a desert a la E.T.
Getting two copies now!

Big W with $48, but the online store seems sold out and can't say whether that's also instore (Do they even have vita stuff instore?) So, JB or EB it is !
Oops, beaten.
Also, just looking at the name so often has made me realise how awful it is. It always reminds me of Bonestorm.

Can you tell us the size of the bubble after patch install?
I'm curious about the physical versions.
I picked mine up from JB @ $44
