I've seen many a mockup Wii U box images have that sickly green-blue for the logo and case, what's the deal with that? Why can't they get the colour right?

Day 1--bargin bin release. $30 MSRP though my local BB lists it at $20. Epic fail.

Am I going to have to buy this through the eShop? Retail copiers are rarer than the Buffalo Bills at the Superbowl!

If you are, you're apparently being scammed.

There's only one seller on eBay selling copies of the US version, and he's in Hong Kong. NoA made 15 copies of this thing...

The preorder bonus should've been a copy of Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album. At least then you'd have a reason to laugh.

They were willing to bite the bullet and go full digital-only for Fatal Frame, a game people actually cared about, but they went out of their way to give the most limited physical print run ever to a game everybody knew was a trainwreck. What the hell.

So much for picking it up in the bargain bin before it goes scarce and the price jacks sky high.

Haven't found it at Hastings, Fred Meyer or Wal Mart so far.

There was hardly any outrage over Fatal Frame being digital-only while people went crazy and acted like the world was over when they thought NOA wasn't even going to release Devil's Third, even though signs pointed heavily to Xseed taking it anyway even if NOA didn't. So to shut people up Reggie went "fine, you guys want the game even though everyone in Europe is telling you its ****, we'll release it ourselves even with a fucking physical release".

Then after declaring this to the internet he turned to Bill with an evil smile and whispered, "Good luck finding it".

I finally got my physical copy! Ivan is a sensitive soul, just misunderstood.

Evan_B · « **Reply #112 on:** March 09, 2016, 09:15:34 AM »

I just wanted to say, I really wanted a physical copy of Fatal Frame.

Stratos · « **Reply #113 on:** March 09, 2016, 09:51:55 PM »

Well, it is back down to reasonable levels at $59.99 brand new. I knew it would drop eventually. I'll continue to gamble and wait to see if it drops to $40 or less.

I've only seen this game once in Canada, and wasn't willing to spend $75+tax based on nearly universal criticism of the game. When people say the only redeeming factor is online play, that is a huge disincentive for me because I generally dislike online gaming.

I'm still sore about Fatal Frame not getting a physical release here. Was very interested in the game, despite not loving the localization choices Nintendo made. When it went digital only that killed my interest though - maybe if it goes on sale for less than $20 digitally I'll consider it... but probably just giving that a straight pass.

This games story seems to have about the same depth as Time Crisis. but with a Metal Gear twist.
Level design also seems to have about the same depth as Time Crisis.
Melee kills are satisfying.
Surprising amount of cut scenes
I am playing it on casual setting, and it feels GREAT.
The idle animation to smoke or drink happens pretty quick.

Evan_B · « **Reply #116 on:** March 11, 2016, 01:32:02 AM »

Please come away from this with a positive impression. I trust your opinion, and if you end up liking it, it will definitely push me over the edge.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #117 on:** March 13, 2016, 01:52:32 AM »

Things have turned into Resident Evil for a little bit!
The melee combat has some depth too it once you get to know it a little more. There are a quite a few kill animations.
The camera can screw you a bit in close quarters
The gun reloading animations aren't bad.
Textures seem to be slow to load in cut scenes, but in game I haven't seen a problem.
Learn the dodge button when it comes to boss fights.

BUT IS IT FUN?!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #119 on:** March 14, 2016, 01:27:02 AM »

It's more fun than Assassin's Creed.

I am enjoying it on Casual settings because it you can just bop through the story hacking and slashing and empty clips into bad guys while standing out in the open. The more you get into the sword combat the funner it is.

I don't think the controls are bad, although you can get locked into animations sometimes.

The storyline is dumb in a Metal Gear sort of way and very over the top. Ivan is a Duke Nukem style character

The game has rough spots, especially the level design, but action gameplay is reminiscent of Halo or Call of Duty.

I am enjoying it more most AAA games I try, but that may just be me.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #120 on:** March 14, 2016, 07:29:48 PM »

Ivan just yelled "Stellllla!" This game went up a star.

Evan_B · « **Reply #121 on:** March 14, 2016, 09:04:15 PM »

Dammit, you have me on the precipice of buying this game. All I need is one more push.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #122 on:** March 16, 2016, 01:04:05 AM »

I will continue to tease with back and forth comments

There is a Halo Warthog style level
The framerate stutters, notably at checkpoints
I'm not the biggest fan of dual analog shooters, so I like the generous auto targeting this game has.
The single player lasted my about 8 and half hours.
Evan, get this game. Find it on sale if price is an issue, but get it sometime this year to try out the multiplayer.

So my wife got me this for Christmas. The price has dropped down to a reasonable $30-40 range. So if anyone was on the fence, now might be the time to bite.

Any of the few people who got it still looking to play?
