I'll buy it day 2.  Like Ian, I'd like something (anything) on the final game.  As long as it's at least "good" I'll pick it up.

Then I'll go ahead and get it Day 1 and you and Ian can wait for my impressions on Day 17.

I'll get it day one unless I forget or can't get to a store or something.  Either that, or I'll preorder from Amazon and get it on day 5 or later because I refuse to pay for shipping.

Ok a Sega blog entry states that June 9th is the date of release.

Gone are the days where i could juts ask for this for my birthday, and wait patiently until then to get it..

I'll probably buy it day one only because if i don't, I'll forget about it and never buy it.

You know I've actually boughten games that have been given review scores as low as a 6 out of 10.  The way I see it is if the pros outweigh the negatives and I can see myself enjoying the game for what I'm paying for I'll definitely buy it.  Actually one game I bought was reviewed at 3.5 out of 10 by most places but that was largely due to the original batch of the game having a critical game stalling bug.

As for the Conduit, If I ever find my way out of unemployment it will most likely be a first week buy for me.....I'm lazy and also refuse to pay shipping via amazon.

I've bought worse but usually at a much lower price.

region specific match finding? yay!
Only 3 types of modes? A little dissapointing but MOHH2 only had that and that kept me entertained for months.
I hope for customizable options on match types.
But wiispeak use is a definite plus.

can't wait for this game!

I don't even like shooters, but I liked the gameplay in this. At some points, there was a little slowdown/choppiness, but nothing drastic. Everything moved pretty fast, and the game looks AMAZING for a Wii title...lots of atmosphere. So far I have had to eat crow about 2 games that I had badmouthed.

That is a major letdown for me, especially since LAN was also blocked (mean old Nintendo). I care more about local multiplay than online.

Any word on the number of friend codes you can add to your list?  The ridiculously small max number on Brawl and Kart is a pain in the ass.

The gaf/GoNintendo caught me talking to Mark Shepherd (VA from the Conduit).

You know, I'd like to think that the Conduit could be the Wii's Halo, but I know it won't. Not with a storyline and characters as goofy and generic as they are. Aliens invading DC? A "special agent" named Mr. Ford? Come on now. This is above Perfect Dark on the goof scale. And that's INCLUDING Elvis, and the fact that the main character's name was Joanna DARK.

I agree that it will never be Halo because its on a different league.

Developers should stop trying to be the next Halo and focus on making a good game. I think Conduit will do well by itself, but no need for it to be the next Halo.

Well yeah, but I also think they could have done a much better job on the story and dialog than they did. Even Mark Shepherd can't save the whole business from being pretty damn goofy.

That said, I believe I will enjoy this game immensely and I won't let such a thing keep me from playing it.

Am I reading this right? Halo has a good story and characters? Halo's story is pretty much a generic alien invasion/war rehash. In fact out of all the various FPS games out there I'm not sure Halo would even be close to the top when it comes to story. It is really a sad state for the FPS shooter if their goal is to copy the quality of Halo's story!  So with that said,  I don't think the Conduit has to do much to be even close to Halo's level story wise (seriously who plays Halo for its story? Most play it for the multiplayer and it shows), interaction will be key.

Halo has an epic BACKSTORY. It doesn't have a good story, but the universe and reasoning behind everything is pretty evocative.

That said, I really hope that The Conduit gives me a Perfect Dark sort of vibe in its single player. PD showed me that you could have a cheese sci-fi story, but it could be done really well. Well, maybe it wasn't cheese. The first mission in PD was a brilliant set-up for the Alexandra character, which pays off towards the end too. And play that mission again in Blonde mode... well... let's just say that I'd love PD to death even if there was no multiplayer for it.
