No, but their system thinks so

Here's a very interesting read about the game (and its place in the overall industry) from grantland.com

Thanks for that.

This is the second really insightful article I've read from Grantland today...and I'd never heard of them before today (don't judge me).

I'm not positive this game is for me, as I despise sneaking around, but it does sound like a masterwork.

UPS decided to deliver my normal copy a day early!

And my Post-Pandemic shipped from GS today as well. Super excited.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts Wiz. I will take as a given that it's an absolute work of art. What I want to know is: Is it any fun, or is it just oppressive.

So pickup at best buy for pre-order : Where in the store do you go to pick up the game? Do they have the pre-order games set aside apart from the usual VG section?

There should be a pickup location next to CS. Just look for where they have some merchandise stored behind the counter.

Picked mine up on the way into work at Walmart since they were the only place open. Can't wait to start this.

Well it sounds like there is good news to my story. I ended up emailing customer care about the cancellation. They basically blew it off stating that there was not enough copies at my location, therefore my order was canceled. So I ended up shooting another e mail to Lisa Smith (VP Customer Care), and within two hours, got a call from the GM at my store stating that they located a copy for me and I was still able to get the $20 reward zone certificate since I had originally pre ordered the game. So, fingers crossed, it looks like this is all going to work out in the end. For once, it looks like Best Buy actually took care of a customer, after a little push :)

All that is good, but it's still a ridiculous situation. It shouldn't be that difficult to buy a video game. After your extra time and effort, you've ended up with exactly what you ordered in the first place.

so appearently there is some game save bug being reported
I'd hold off on playing until there is a patch unless you want to risk losing your progress in the game


EDIT: seems to have been a server issue that is now resolved

The autosave issue was a problem w/ our servers. No patch needed to fix it, just re-launch the game.

haha, after all that hassle, Amazon now has the Survival Edition back in stock.

re: The Last of Us (PS3 and PS4)
 
Was the survival edition on amazon not release date delivery (I know the normal one was)? Because mine just shipped out today... :(

edited to add:
and it actually came today, so same day delivery. Now that's why I pay taxes to Amazon...

DthRdrX 06-14-13 02:02 PM

re: The Last of Us (PS3 and PS4)
 
I thought Amazon offered release day delivery on all their games?

I ordered the Post Pandemic version from Gamestop with 2 day delivery. They sent it overnight mail yesterday. That surprised me.

Gamestop edition is huge.

Played about an hour of this. Amazing opening sequence.

What difficulty is everyone starting at?

I think that any difficulty unlocks Survivor and then you have to complete Survivor to unlock Survivor+ (completion of which nets you a trophy.)

I did normal. I just want to say that this is the best looking game I've seen this gen and I'm kind of surprised it's still progressing at this stage. Also the directing at the beginning of the game is actually better than a lot of movies I've seen lately but I can see how it's off putting for some players, not the happiest game ever made.

The opening sequence is astounding.

I'm not surprised about the way it looks since Uncharted was the best I've seen previously, and I never played the two sequels.

Naughty Dog can do exclusives right.

You mean, Naughty Dog knows how to program for Cell amazingly well.

I guess I'm going to need to go pick this one up asap, providing my TV can swap to the last remaining HDMI port correctly.

This! I've done about two hours and had to take a break. So intense!

I believe the PP gets the statue, while the SE gets the art book.

I think I'm going to sell the PP as it will pay for the regular version.
