Oh I don't mind a settings advantage as skill overcomes that. I'm talking about the assholes that use engine owning and other cheats for wall hacks and aimbots. They completely ruin cross play shooters now and that's coming from someone that does most of his gaming on a pc.

I have heroquest upstairs, patiently waiting for my kids to be a bit older. The playing board from the original is one of the few memories I have of my childhood. You can try Karak. It's a dungeon crawler for children, and I know a family who played it with a 5 year old and they loved it. |

It looks very much like they've taken the tech from their World War Z game into this? hordes of enemies.

Stupid gaming practices. So this is out Monday but if you buy the premium edition you get to play on Thursday. So the game is ready Thursday so just release it then and not have a small portion of the player base play it, complete it and post shit about it online before it’s actual release.
Imagine movies doing it. You get to see the new alien 5 days early if you pay double for your seat. Or an album comes out a week early if you by the deluxe vinyl.

Not that I am defending such practices but there is always the option of not reading about it for three days and just get stuck in on Monday?

Yeah I won’t have anything spoilt and it’s not like I’m playing it for the story I just think if it’s ready on Thursday release it for everyone. Just money grabbing bs that most publishers do. At least there are no micro transactions. Apparently there will be paid cosmetic dlc packs but that’s it.

I was briefly considering the deluxe for the early access but the season pass is just cosmetics. I’ve no interest in paying 20-odd quid extra for that, I’ll just wait.

The season pass looks like something that's very easily skipped, good that it's just cosmetics but only if you can be really arsed to spend cash I think.

They kinda do with paying for cinema, or wait for a home release, or wait for it to stream/be on tv. The experience is a bit different but if your issue is people posting about it then it’s no different. |

But the genestealers are just ripoffs of Xenomorphs. Then again, Space Hulk was just a ripoff of Aliens, and GoW is just a ripoff of 40k, so... hang on, I've lost my train of thought.

I’ve pre-ordered. I couldn’t resist. This looks great!
I also caved, largely thanks to the two blokes at work who are also fans being relentless on the subject.
25% off at CDKeys though.
Release times for those not going the 4 days early route:

Why do we need to be so specific?
Also, I'm not waking up at 1:00AM for anything, unless it's guaranteed to be more rewarding than an England match

Boooo 17:00 sucks as I’m off work that day.
Plus I can’t pre download it as I’m not the primary Xbox so it won’t see it as owned until after release.

It's a global simultaneous release, no one outside of NZ on Xbox is "flying" to Auckland.

Hang on, so if I buy it physical Monday morning, I can’t play it online during the day?
Not that I’m booking Monday off or anything. Also what’s up with it coming out on a Monday? That’s a bit weird isn’t it?

It's smart. This way you have 5 days to fix shit before the weekend.

If you install the Xbox app on your phone you can queue up the install for any game you want regardless of actually owning it. Very handy if you've ordered a disc copy and want to get it preloaded and ready to go. |

Install the game before the disc turns up, pop the disc in when it does and you can start playing. Be nice if PlayStation allowed this too.

I've already got my notes typed up, for when this game disappoints and you all forced me to buy this.
