It will be a while. I want the physical copy, not a digital download. I can wait a couple of more months.

Unless I missed something, I don't think there will be a digital download version at all. Jensen is a bit behind the times. Even if she dislikes digital distribution, it would make sense to have that in addition to hard copies. The game would get wider recognition that way.

What she should do is follow TellTale Games and make deals with Valve. Some of TellTale's games (like Sam & Max) offer "extras" to gamers, specifically those who play Team Fortress 2. I know there's a "Max Hat" and a gun or two that TF2 players could get if they bought the S&M game.

Believe it or not, TF2 players will buy a game for a hat. It's crazy, but it's not unusual for them to pay REAL money through the Steam store to get hats and other times. I wouldn't (especially since it's possible to get these items through random drops during the game), but some people are willing to fork out the dough.

I must admit I'm pretty proud of ourselves!

Regarding the game, I've just reached Chapter 3. I've left behind a couple of bonus actions so that, when I replay the game, I will have something new to discover! :D

Have I already mentioned that I want the sequel like yesteday? :lol:
So how did you guys get in for ßeta Testing anyway?

Huh. That's interesting. I wonder why it's there and not here.

We were just ßeta than you all. :D

Nico rounded a few of us up who frequented Cort-X and asked us privately if we wanted to participate. I can't believe that was over a year ago!

That's worth considering... especially if a GK4 was guaranteed. :D

Pretty much the same as the second build we played, but I'm still pretty early in the game and I'm really looking forward to reach Chapter 8! :lol:

A word of warning.

I don't understand why they chose Chapter 3 as the demo one, but if you plan to buy and play the full game, beware: there are a lot of potential spoilers and playing immediately as David will somehow diminish the impact he will make once you play the full-fledged game.

I started to play the demo, but decided to wait for the full game.
