Debug Mode Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Okay, the fuck? You're telling me that instead of a specific bundle of a game being exclusive to GAME, the entire fucking game is exclusive to GAME? I doubt the game will be very big, but Jesus tap dancing Christ that's one hell of an anti-competitive move but hey that's nothing new to GAME now is it?

V. Amoleo Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The latest news article on the official Nintendo site doesn't mention the horrible move of giving retail exclusivity to GAME, just that Nintendo are acting as the distributor for the game.

Agent Gibbs Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Only sold at GAME?!?! WHAT? at their inflated prices? (they haven't learned despite surviving) well that me out, well maybe depends on temptation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 "Nintendo UK can confirm it is currently in discussion with UK retailers about the sale of Heroes of Ruin for Nintendo 3DS. However, we have nothing further to announce on this title beyond the recent distribution agreement with Square Enix Europe." GAME getting desperate or something? Thought it was odd they didn't mention GAME in their press release today. Not sure what's going on here, unless GAME are just getting an exclusive bundle or something.

I really need to sort my internet out before deciding whether to buy this or not. Not having wireless sucks when it comes to wanting to play on my 3DS.

Hero-of-Time Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah this game along with Mario Tennis Open will be hella fun, what happened to your internet connection? It's fine, it's just I don't have wireless. If I wanna go online with the 3DS I have to take my laptop upstairs and plug in the Nintendo Dongle. I bought a wireless router earlier this year, and despite Mokongs help, just couldn't get the thing working with me ISP. I need to get my finger out and change to SKY.

-Dem0- Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Impression. "As a dungeon crawler, I was very impressed with the exploration, something often limited in games of the genre. Alongside monster fighting, there are the aforementioned side quests, plenty of secrets (Jon and I found ourselves in front of a slightly hidden spot, where cutting some branches led to a room filled with treasure), and even some really clever puzzles."

Rummy Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Haha, shuttup is this LAME exclusive given their recent problems. Aren't Nintendo supposed to be distributing this? Would anybody in their right business sense mind, especially Nintendo, take something exclusive to LAME with the recent issues that highlighted a big point of disillusion between gamers and the company? Hell, would anybody with any good business sense EVER make a game exclusive to just ONE company/retailer? There's no way it'll happen, and if it does, then all I can do is lololololol as this game bombs for a totally justified reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Dem0- Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yes it has, I recently received an email from play regarding my preorder, they just said that the release date was changed to the 15th of June. meaning my order is intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Dem0- Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 "With a game so rich and deep in customisation as Heroes of Ruin, it's important that the level of variety of the weapons matches that of the armour and skills which are found in the game. Below you'll find concept images showing just a few of the different weapon types available for the Alchitect, Savage, Gunslinger and Vindicator."

Ganepark32 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Fantastic! Have kind of been keeping an eye on this recently, what with all the Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2 talk that has been going on elsewhere over the last couple of weeks, but I'm not completely sold on it yet. So getting a demo is great. Actually give me something to play on my 3DS other than replaying Metroid Fusion again (really should pick up KI: Uprising and RE: Revelations but graduation is proving to be bloody expensive).

Debug Mode Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I wonder if they'll do a Phantasy Star styled demo where you can trial the multiplayer for like a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dem0- Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No, most likely they'll be sticking to their demo limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 No, most likely they'll be sticking to their demo limit. Yeah I imagine so as well. Still, it would do wonders if they could at least let people have a taste of the multiplayer aspect considering that's the main selling point.
