Honestly, I'd love to Cryptik but 1. Don't own a PS3 or 360 :( and 2. I'll probably get it on PC from Playasia because some number crunching retard thought that the PC version wouldn't sell over here. :mad:
My brother just informed me that the Wollongong JB Hi-Fi store hasn't got the stock yet (delayed courier, lol :p) but they do have the Pre-Order comics... :D
I used to work at EB Games, so I have a couple of mates there. I was able to pre-order at both JB and EB, but my friends are going to give me the DLC code for my EB pre-order then let me cancel it and get my deposit back. This way I can buy it from JB+comic and still have the DLC code. You could probably ask your local EB to do this, but they may not let you because it's kinda not allowed. But, if you pre-order both, buy both, get both bonuses, nothing can stop you from using EB's 7 Day Return for a full refund, and if they ask for the code back, say it's already used and it's not part of the purchase price, so they can't deny refund based on that =o)
Tried to convince the guys at JB today to give me a copy, but it seems as though they hadn't received their stock yet :( While I was there, I thought I may as well pre-order to get the free comic.
I went with GAME in the end for my pre-order as it's only $69 delivered (not fussed by the bonuses on offer). Just hope they ship it out on Monday. :D
@Cryptik: Can you please tell me if the PS3 version outputs in 1080P and does it offer any sound above Dolby Digital quality eg. Linear PCM? I went with the 360 ver but I'd still be interested to know. Thanks!
No native 1080P on console versions? Bummer, although at least we shouldn't have to worry about screen-tearing hopefully. How is what you've played of the campaign so far? Does it feel as epic as the trailers make it out to be?
For the PC game, it's best to wait a little longer (a week or 2 after release) until more sellers get stock of it and then you will see it at around AU$30.
The above has worked for me in the last couple of years with games like Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect among many others.
When it comes to PC games having a down turn - I disagree with that.
In the last couple of years we had a massive pick up in quality with several Top 10 games being PC releases or the 'Premium' version being the PC version. However I will agree that the local PC retail space has decreased dramatically.
My guess is that most PC gamers have worked out that its a freaking rip off to buy games at local retail prices and have smarten up to either downloading them (legally like STEAM) or are importing them from overseas. Naturally, to the local video game store, it will seem as if PC games are not selling that well.
When you look at International Gaming sites, the PC is still a major gaming platform.
Haha, yeah come on CryptiK. We need to know if it's gonna be worth the wait! :D
I'd also be interested to hear about the achievements (or, in your case, trophies). Any good ones? Are they evenly divided between the campaign and multiplayer or do they focus on one in particular?
sorry guys I have finished the game both campaigns on hard.
Trophies/Achievements: They are all easter eggs names that relate to the Transformers universe I wont spoil. They more lean towards Single player
Story: It was fantastic I loved it. It felt a true transformers game it is for sure a great addition to the Transformers universe and there are plenty of homage's and easter eggs to be seen and lots of intense moments you guys will love it.
Wow you finished it that quick? Either you are a hardcore gamer, or the game is easy :p
Can't wait to get my own copy of it, which will most likely be in a few months time :(
GOOD NEWS GUYS
I am aware someone from Adelaide purchase TF - WFC.
I rang someone from a GAME Brisbane store and they can sell the game as TF is not 'STREET DATED'.
So there you go!
I find that interesting as both GAME stores on the Sunshine Coast have told me they won't break street date.
Not to worry for me though as our copies just came in to work, which was a surprise because I didn't think we had any on order, hence looking elsewhere. Naturally the box says "DO NOT SELL until June 23", but I'm still taking it home tonight. Going to smash sinlge-player before I hit up online multiplayer.
That's good news for those that can get the game early. I checked with my local JB on Saturday (hoping to play it on the weekend) and they hadn't received their stock yet.
I probably won't be able to play it until next weekend anyway, so I'm happy to pick mine up on Wednesday.
I only have a Wii so I am waiting to see some early reviews before I pay the money
The Wii version is called "Transformers: Cybertron Adventures" right?! (I guess the use of the word "war" was too full on for Wii... they must hate StarWarsAdventures). :p
Still, I might pick it up, as well as the PC version.
I just picked up the game (PS3 version) from EB Games.. :D
Our old friend TheDirtyDigger needs our help, folks. EB have told him they'll sell him the game if he can show proof other stores have sold it, ie. a photo of a receipt. As my copy is from my work and won't be 'officially' purchased until Wednesday I don't have a receipt, so can anyone help the man out? Just a photo of a receipt with the game posted here should be fine, unless you just want to PM me it so there's nothing here that could get your local stores in trouble.
ME NEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD THIS GAME BAD!!!!!!!! HEEEELLLPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant! Cheers, mate. :D
EB Batemans Bay didn't have it yet:(
Guess I'll have to wait.
big Ws toy sale next week
also this at big w
If anyone can grab spare codes for Shockwave and Jazz for me I would be very grateful its a slim chance but no hurt in asking I guess.
Picked up my pre-order today.... EB didn't know about the pre-order, and then couldn't find any!!!
Picked up my Preorder but I don't get a Shockwave/Jazz code until Wednesday.
Same here. No preorder code in Darwin yet.
On a side note, beat the Decepticon campaign. Game is awesome!
Just a heads up guys; Registered to let you know. My Local EB games called me this arvo and told me street date has been broken (probably due to you guys posting the receipt), thus FFC is available now for consoles.
I went into the store and they told me it was in time for their sale, and discounted $20. The bonus character codes (attached to the back of the box) appear to be regional, as mine starts with an AU360 prefix (Xbox 360 version).
Haven't played it yet, as I'm letting the missus watch TV for a bit
Cheers
Do places like Big W tend to release games on the date it's supposed to be? (ie:) will Big W have it on Wednesday morning?
My Big W had it in today. Tried to scan it through the register and it wouldnt go through due to the embargo. Usually if the street date is broken, communication will be sent through to stores and the game will scan as normal. Hopefully it works tomorrow as Big W standard price is $61xx
awesome, i'll check out my locals 2moro. thanks for the feedback
