11 Million and caring....
It will definitely be on eBay very soon once this info gets out to enough people.

If this means more people buy and play the game, this is great. The multiplayer is fantastic and the campaign is super cheesy B-movie fun.
He can't even deny this is true.
Valhalla Motion Pictures was the production company on Bruce Willis' Armageddon which is not only Itagaki's favorite movie, but the movie that saved his life.
Whelp, its official, 420 copies have just sold out on Gamestop.com

Yup, Im surprised about how much fun Im having with the game so far.
People buying this just to save, in-case the value rises. If you like competitive multiplayer and can overlook some technical issues, and poor visual presentation, give this a shot. It's an incredibly fun and unique shooter/character action game hydrid that works surprisingly well in a multiplayer environment, and has some well designed and fun multiplayer maps.
I've never played a game quite like it, and it brings about a lot of unique combat scenarios that force you to think in a fun and different way.
The campaign is definitely cheesy fun. The sword-play and gunplay dont hold up on thier own, but when fused with Itagaki's combat mindset, and brash, run-headfirst into action mindset, makes for a fun, if inconsistent romp, unfortunately brought down by technical issues, and some weak patches.
In my opinion, the campaign is more of a 4-6, but the MP is definitely more of a solid 7-8. I think the game is definitely underrated, and has a chance to do really well as a free-to-play, especially if Valhalla can fix the cheap sfx and feel of the firearms, and polish up the visuals and animation for the PC release.
damn that's nice

This looks pretty fun.
Call first, chances are they are already reserved or a preorder x).

It's kind of bizarre to see this game see so much hate when it's really just thoroughly mediocre. When I think of the 'B-game' that so many people on GAF lament the death of games like Devil's Third are pretty much exactly what comes to mind.

Sounds like a Skullgirls curse.
I'm surprised people aren't scalping the hell out of it, yes.
But mostly because there's always, ALWAYS some copies of ANY game on eBay just after release.

I bet most of those copies stayed on the selves.
i don't think it's really hate as much as it is mocking or derision
nobody is upset by this game, they just think it's funny

Backlash came due to itagaki and fans who said this game, which looked ass since development, will be a great game when it is released.
It didn't.

Wasn't this game in development for like 6 years or something? I think I recall it being announced for the ps3 and 360.
It's on PC too...

He delivered an incredible masterpiece with Ninja Gaiden (Black), after that it all went downhill. His so called prodigy taking over at team Ninja didn't know what he was doing, and Itagaki himself messed up in more ways then one.

Shit I should have preordered it, I figured that either that game or Xenoblade would become rare in the future so I should have just picked a copy up...
Melee is a mess? There are melee only online modes. Those are brutally skill based. Looks like for those who learn how to properly use each move, combat isn't that messy. The problem is that no one teach you how/when to use each move (that's bad, because that could have been done in the single player) so this learning process can be frustrating.
At some point in a melee only mode me and some other player chose that we should avoid killing low level players (99% of the time a low level player is a free kill) because they kept on quitting after one game. In the best case those players managed to kill 1-2 people in one game, while being killed around 10 times. In the worst case they quitted the game to go write a hateful review on some gaming site.

B refers to the game's budget not it's quality.
Technically, all console debuts. Once Cemu get's up and running.... ;-)

Sold the fuck out at GameStop, too. Jesus Christ. I'm keeping my Dell copy sealed then and using a GS "new" copy to play.
lol @ anyone who thinks this will get a second shipment. It barely got a first.

Nearing the end of the game and I can say it isn't the most janky game I played all year -that title goes to THPS5-I never had this game freeze on me or quit out randomly-or my character fall through environment.
Thoughts on Devils Third: echoed by most who played it: Straight up b-movie fare, I enjoyed the gunplay and melee-(best third person katana of recent memory-plus them tomahawks) lots of gore and excessive swearing- it's like a 3D brawler in same vein as house of the dead overkill. Fun but flawed- glad I got it-
gonna start MP tonight (if I can find a match)
Mine was-argued with clerk for 10 minutes before he gave me a 10 dollar discount. Used a giftcard anyways. haha

Eh, I still see at least one more. Best Buy and such places never even got stock for their stores. Regardless I'm not going to fall into the collector craze.

I really liked it when I played the PAL version .
It looks like shit in spots and was obviously rushed in places, and the ADS is way too loose....but I beat it in like 3 sittinhs , which I just don't do any more.
Its a solid 7, just a little than I'd give his Ninja Gaiden games. Ateast DT has a great third person camera.
Hopefully people will download it and see you can have fun with a non AAA game.

I believe they got clearance from Sony and any other party involved to make that happen and get more prints.
Dr. Black Jack

Yeah, because the small-time publisher that originally released them stands to profit from doing so.
What does Nintendo have to gain by going through the hassle of a second print run? The game is on eShop.

Fuck me, I just bought it.
I have zero intention of ever removing the plastic, but this is going to be Earthbound-rare in a decade so, hey, why not?

They're not doing second prints of sold out titles. They've made that very clear.
They will be releasing different titles soon though.
