Ok so it was originally going to be like January and seems to be a sony / Cert problem?
Isn't it going to ruin the secret moves if they include a manual?

That's not really what the blog post says.
It says: "The biggest issue at the moment is finalizing the Japanese voice-over licensing contract."
I've heard you can choose to not read the manual. ;-)

Damn it. I wish it was EGTTR but that's sony so it wont happen. Either way ill buy 2 copies of Dear Esther if it has a manual/ artbooklet or whatever.

No manual?
Hope so. Been a while since anything I've been interested in has come up (other than Darius).
Another "sell now, ship later"? It's going to get messy to keep track, I'm still waiting for Skullgirls, Volume and my Stranger's Wrath cards.
Oh yeah. How am I supposed to get the cards again?

We are currently testing this, but to get the cards you will be sent a coupon code to purchase them from the store. The cards will be marked up to something super high and your coupon will make it free.
Ah ok.
Don't repeat the issues Aksys had with the free watch for Zero Escape which had a similar redemption plan albeit via Amazon.
It was fine for NA customers, but international customers were hit with high customs fees due to the watch being marked as $500 or something. So many had to pay a lot of money to get the free item and fight for refunds.

Get in line, lol.
I'm still waiting for Skullgirls, Volume, the Stranger's Wrath cards, Curses 'N Chaos, The Swapper and Aqua Kitty.
Add to those The Swindle this Friday, because there is no way I'll be getting any of the above before then, since none of them have even left the LRG office.
Correct, I've had to pay ~$105 in VAT for that "free of charge" bonus watch. And it's taken weeks before I got Amazon to refund me. Have even been lied to by one Amazon CS agent about them having issued a refund, when in reality nothing at all had happened.
Edit: oh and the watch's case was damaged too of course.
I'm not including the ones from the holding service since that one is being held because we wanted it to be held, they're doing us a favor with that one.

I'm not using the holding service. But they're holding the games for me anyway.
Oh... I'm sorry, then.

It's not a big deal. Just wanted to express that I agree with your claim about it potentially getting messy.
(Just checked tracking again, btw, and apparently Aqua Kitty is effectively on its way now.)
I'm torn on Dear Esther. Every LRG PS4 game so far is something I either actively want or at least didn't mind having around. I don't hate a lot of games, because it seems like far more trouble than it's worth, but Dear Esther annoyed the living hell out of me. But then I'd have a gap in the numbering. It might be worth it to break the chain, or maybe not quite yet. Decisions, decisions...

Sundered looks great. Dear Esther is a big disappointment for me. Was hoping for a more popular release considering the 5k print run and gold foil cover. ;-)

Sundered is $100+ (including import fees).
It's a cool edition but I'd prefer a cheaper bog standard physical alternative along with Jotan :/

Meh.
Yeah, the timing on this is kind of crap. 2 days, really? Is this going to be numbered to fall in with the normal ps4 numbering? If so, I guess it's a good jumping off point for ps4 games, since I doubt I'll be pledging to yet another kickstarter just to keep a numbered set.

Ah, this is the first time I'll be skipping a LRG release day. No interest in owning physical copies of Swindle or Dear Esther, personally.
Feels good to break free of the GOTTA COLLECT 'EM ALL obsession tbh
That's what I needed to know, thanks. I can live without the KS version then, as long as there is a standard one.

Any buyers from Europe who've received their Oxenfree copy yet ?
There's only one entry for my package tracking, and it's the original one, for more than 10 days ago. I find it hard to believe it'd still be "In route to US export warehouse".
I wonder how reliable their tracking is.

I broke it with Stealth Inc and Lone Survivor, these are the first I'll be skipping since then. I think with all the crazy kickstarter releases as well as the increase in releases it's going to be pretty pricey for anyone to be still going for 100%
Happy to be picking up the games I really want to own, though I am happy to take chances on titles like I did with The Swapper and Thomas Was Alone

It's reliable. LRG has most likely only printed your shipping label so far, which explains the single entry. They have to handle quite lot of packages for such a small business. I assume that once they have "enough" games packaged and labeled they will be brought to the export warehouse.

10/10 and saved for posterity.
This is where I am right now. Dear Ester definitely takes the words "visual" and "novel" to a different level, but I was more excited for a possible Ray Gigant release.

Yeah. The game looks great but I'm not gonna pledge to another KS at the moment. The price point is pretty steep as well. I think it's time to stop collecting cover exclusives, it's getting too expensive in the long run...
I'll keep at the exclusive cover Kickstarter thing for games like Plague Road, which was actually a pretty reasonable price. Those games are only getting a few hundred apiece printed in that version, so it's worth it to get a nicely rare piece added to the collection. Once it bumps up to $76 (USD for Sundered) it all comes down to the timing, though. In Sundered's case it's just a bad week to drop that cash.
Disclaimer- last minute buy still possible because I'm not too bright about this kind of thing some days.

Skipping Swindle. Will get 2x Dear Esther if manual. No manual = 1.

Will this apply to those of us that bought at PSX? I'm guessing no right?
