Yeah, if I'm buying physical games nowdays I nearly always buy from ShopTo but you do have to be careful with that policy. You can avoid it completely when pre-ordering by selecting the "pay at despatch" option rather than paying up front. I don't think you can select the option if you're paying by PayPal, though; that form of payment is instant.

Hell yeah. :twisted:

With those scores I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Switch version stacks up!

JUst read the eurogamer review and yes it does.

Seems like a slippery slope to me, and not really something Id are known for. Imagine Quake but with microtransaction cosmetic items... :dread:

In hindsight this is a good thing!

Yeah, I still have a Quake3 executable client on my desktop, that URL doesn't load for me.

Google Quake Champions. Then figure out why your internet is broke. Maybe you got pissed off and blocked bethesda at the hosts file level?

It must be some incompatibility between the q3 maps I installed and their f2p server.

Any ping higher than 7 gives me anxiety, it's a medical hazard to acknowledge what became of Quake.

If you want this a couple of days early, it’s available at GAME in-store from tomorrow.

Yeah a few of my friends got this from GAME this morning.

I've been sent the xbox and PS4 version by Boomerang so I should be able to try this tomorrow.

Skimmed over the EG review which kind of dampened my expectations a bit, the idea of lore/story getting in the way was a concern throughout the reveals of this and it sounds like that has kind of come to be true to an extent.

EG is the only review I've read that's less than glowing so don't let it get to ya.

My PS4 copy has just arrived, rip and strawberry floating tear :datass:

absolutely not, stop asking this wrote:

Yeah I'd definitely still getting it, but it does highlight one of the things that I've been slightly worried about for a while.

The fact that almost every other review is glowing, and that 2016 was so damned good, is more than enough to keep me on board!

Having to create a Bethesda account why exactly?

Also the tool tips are stupidly small.

Got mine from CD Keys a week or two back. It's a Bethesda
Net code rather than steam, which is gooseberry fool, but whatever. Unlocks at 11pm tonight.

Hoping that includes the Doom 64.port as well.

Played a couple of hours just now. Starting to get some of the new abilities. Activating the dash is a little funky, it'll often just take both charges and double-dash. Maybe I'm holding the button down and that's causing it, I'll have to look at the (extensive) control options to see if that is configurable.

I'm playing with everything on Ultra Nightmare at 1440p and it runs like a dream (110-144fps) on my 3 year old GPU.

I find I'm taking a different approach to the last game, where I'd just deplete all my ammo for all the guns before turning to the chainsaw. Now, I'm 100% focused on the resource juggling, switching between glory kills, chainsaw and flamethrower often. It's a fun loop, and the guns feel amazing. Feels a little more linear than the first game. The level structure actually reminds me more of something like Uncharted, where you explore/traverse for a bit, then move into a combat arena, maybe watch a cutscene and repeat. The quality of life changes in the map and fast travel are great for doing the collectables without having to replay a level, so you can stomp through to the end without ruining the pace hunting collectables down, then zip back and collect everything at your leisure with no enemies annoying you.

And the music is perfect (again).
