So is anyone else getting this and/or excited for this game? From what I've read and heard it's actually pretty good. I already pre loaded it on steam and it's supposed to unlock at 9 pm tonight for me. Also, if anyone is up for co op on steam my name is Overweight Whale. I have 2 other friends getting it, but they're usually flakes when it comes to playing co op.

I'm certainly picking it up. Where abouts do you live, mate? I'd rather the co-op not be a lag fest.

How broken? Are we talking "people who nit pick like fuck" broken or Made by Obsidian broken?

OT: I will eventually but only when it's on special and if I have upgraded by then.

I live in California. I know where your coming from though. I have a friend who moved to Sweden and it's damn near impossible to get a lag free game with him.

At first I thought it was a Left 4 Dead rip, but then I watched some gameplays and it looks like zombie RPG.

So... I like.

I'm going to get it to see what it's like, that's for sure, don't know who I'd co-op with though, that's my only dilemma.

Been reading some reviews and it doesn't sound very appealing to me. The game always looked like a meh at best anyways.

I was really looking forward to it but the more i've seen, read and heard about it the less I feel likely to buy it.

Thinking i'll probably try it at a friends house before I go out and pay for it but more than likely wait for the January sales to pick it up.

I've got Space Marine to keep me company until Skyrim comes out.

Well happy-go-lucky fuck on a stick. I don't really have powerful enough internet for fucking XBL so I guess I'm just screwed. That seems like all developers are doing to me today. I was on the fence now I'm most decidedly never going to buy it, at least nowhere near new price. I'm tired of this ship and fix crap. Make good games. Sure, I was going to play it single player and maybe that's not the point, but I'll be damned if I do it now with a thirty-seven item-fix patch on day one.

Obsidian meet Techland, have a baby and we'll never be able to play the games it produces.

Yeah, I'll definitely end up getting it.

I'm not going to get it the day it's released, but if I don't get it by October, I'll probably ask for it for Christmas.

i'm intrigued, it seems that it may have surpising depth.

and combat reminds me of condemned, condemned was great so I'm trading in deus exHR for it.

I don't care how broken it is because from what the reviews have told me it's one of the best experiences like, ever. Besides, I loved new vegas and as Macrobstar has said, hooray for patches!

Oh, and also as said HELL YEH IM GETTING IT!.....................AT LAUNCH!
