I cancelled my pre-order for Red Dead Redemption at my local HMV today, then I went back to the office and pre-ordered it online from HMV's website.
Seems pretty stupid right? I mean it's the same company, so what the hell was I doing?
Well it turns out that you get no pre-order bonus from ordering it instore, whereas the website pre-order gets me DLC and a free Blu-Ray DVD.
HMV is never going to be the biggest hitter when it comes to online sales, and by removing reasons for me to visit their high street stores they are surely only damaging their long term prospects.
Anyway, rant over.
Soon, XDefiant servers will no longer be terrorized by frustratingly elusive, bunny-hopping maniacs. Mark Rubin, the game’s executive producer, has confirmed that next week’s much-needed update will introduce a nerf to bunny hops, so a massive movement shift is set to arrive soon.
Recently Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed spoke with Soham Jaiswal, CEO, SD Games about the pending Eternal Damnation game. The game is a hybrid of RPG and RTS and cast players as a Spider.
Marcus Stewart - "My biggest takeaway from Shadow of the Erdtree is that – surprise – it’s more Elden Ring. It’s the most unexciting take imaginable, but outside of the intriguing yet not immediately noticeable wrinkle added by the Scadutree upgrades, it’s a new excuse to revisit a world I love. It’s tough to get a sense of the expansion’s narrative implications and to be honest, that’s the last thing I care about in this game, as interesting as its lore is on the surface. All I want is to experience a new gauntlet of trials and surprises, and Shadow of the Erdtree seems poised to deliver that and then some."
