Defiance: The Game Page 9

    Yeah DCUO was the same on the PS3 space wise, and what with the painfully slow download times I couldn't play day one, had to leave it running overnight.

    As I'm going to miss out on the preorder goodies I'v entered all 120 ark codes :-) . Some nice goodies too like extra weapons and lock box, also handy extra 4 inventory slots.

    I wouldn't be too surprised if you got pre-order stuff anyway - most times I've got something from GAME on or around launch day, they give out whatever pre-order bonus there is anyway, such as the Crackdown 2 armour colours or a Pokemon Guide.

    No guarantee though, but hopefully :)

    Not sure if it's been mentioned a few pages back but Syfy/Trion have posted the first 14 minutes of episode 1 on their site. It's region locked but Unblock US worked for me.

    Immediately ties in with the Episode mission arc from the beta, which is nice.

    Considering how weirdly explained some of the in-game detail in the beta was, the manual is nothing but the control layout.

    I was hoping for a nice thick informative colourful illustrated story focused print smelling manual.

    Anyone happen to know if the disc install is actually required on 360?

    I did it anyway, as I do it with all games, yet I loaded it up and it's doing a completely seperate in-game installation now too.

    Nah, I had a quick try just to see, but clicking Play didn't load anything.

    Who did you order off, you got it quick considering no post yesterday?
  • Deleted user 30 March 2013 14:18:47
    Not a huge amount of point in a big manual, from what we've heard from the couple of PC betas there will be dynamic changes to both the game and the UI.

    Fair enough. Was just hoping for a proper one is all. MMOs usually come with a big, thick annual full of fluff.

    Got it from Shopto, Staffy.

    O good I was starting to lose faith in shopto so that's promising.
  • Deleted user 30 March 2013 16:38:23
    Should be waiting for me at home, ready to go at launch! (i.e for the server crashes)

    They'll probably have them up on iTunes quickly. I don't use that so will watch it on other sources. I saw the 14 minutes on good ol' YouTube, which I posted in the Defiance TV thread though I have no doubt it'll be removed by now.

    I popped up to my local ASDA to see if they had any of Friday's new games. All the have even vaguely new is Bioshock Infinite, except a good few boxes for Defiance. Given the lack of new releases, that surprised me quite a lot. Pre-order boxes for this, in among the new games. It could be a sleeper hit. Or maybe not, I don't know.

    Got my copy today as well. Now I play the waiting game
  • Deleted user 30 March 2013 21:25:13
    Glad I am away for Easter: hate having new games that I can't play.
  • Deleted user 30 March 2013 23:05:04

    Video up from FRANKIEonPCin1080p (big DayZ / BF3 / etc video person), doesn't look too shabby.

    He has an aggravating voice.

    Dave Nice does Youtube.
  • Deleted user 30 March 2013 23:56:27
    How does a guy with that voice and that total lack of useful content become a 'big' youtube person?
  • Deleted user 31 March 2013 00:57:02
    Probably DayZ videos, which I watch faaaar too many of. His voice is even worse in those!

    I knew full well from the postage option I chose it wouldn't get here by tomorrow. I still do. But I hoped, man. I hoped so hard! I thought it'd just happen anyway.

    I can totally see me buying it on Steam too. I'm of 2 minds though. It's pricey as heck given I'd basically be paying £35 for:

    Phoenix Sniper Rifle
    "Steam Powered" title
    +10 Inventory Slots
    A lockbox
    A-Tex Growler vehicle
    RM Nomad M4 vehicle
    Rift: Storm Legion (I don't have Rift)
    And crucially, I can play tomorrow!

    Everything else I still get if I'm patient. But I'm not patient :p

    I can't comment on your patience, I cancelled my Amazon order a few days ago and picked up the digital edition from GMG because I was convinced the postie would fail me. Despite never having a good day 1 experience with any MMO I can't help myself...

    On the upside I still got the Amazon pre-order code.
