So instead of the online pass lets talk about the game. I am pretty pumped right now as I just checked back to their website and was able to get a special edition when just a few days ago they weren't letting anyone order even though it didn't say sold out. I really enjoyed the demo and that pretty much sealed the deal for me getting this game. Looking forward to more of the reviews coming out tomorrow but here is IGN's 9.0

Yeah I'm heading in to pick mine up as soon as I feel like moving (not a morning person.)

The demo felt a little bit unfinished so I'm glad to hear it wasn't based on current code/assets, but it was still fun once you got past the tutorial bit.

Yeah I got drawn into the quest pretty quick, it was also nice when Curt apologized for the buggy demo.

What sort of problems did the demo have? I played it for an hour or so and didn't have any problems that I remember. The pc/steam version that is.

Only had one problem with the demo using ATI's grpahic card. Unless you disabled post-proccessing, all you saw was black screen. Only the pre-recorded cutscenes were displayed.
Other than that, had no other problems. And hearing that the demo was built by a diffrent developer, gives me hope that such problem not going to happen in the final release.

Gotta wait until delivery later today but so looking forward to playing. Been pumped for this game for awhile now. Got my bonus unlock code email, just need the game!

I really cannot wait to use the combat in this game. The demo showed just a touch of it and I loved it.

Here is the GI review 8/10 knocked it for some of the lore, but loved the combat. As for the demo it was mainly some graphic glitches. Every time I fast traveled back to that main city there was a problem with the ground. But it would go away once I moved off.

Everywhere on the web, they are saying that this game has set a standard for combat mechanics.
I might pick it up in a week or so

Soundtrack seems woot from what I keep hearing on Youtubes (and, uh, teh gamerip I lifted from teh internets). I won't get the game, though, but soundtrack yes, very well maybe.

Kinda on the fence with this. Skyrim and Dragon age were a bit "meh" for me personally. I loved wow`s art style and the fable series, which im told this is a lot like. But worried about long dialogue scenes and "choices". I dont mind one or two but Dragon age was zzzzz.... in a lot of parts due to the dialogue.

:| :argue: Blasphemer! Shall have you drawn and quartered for saying such things! :p

This game looks good, but i have so much Skyrimming left to do. Might pick it up later on down the line.

Gamebreaker.tv is doing a Live Stream for the Game, if anyone is interested to see what the game is like, should go http://www.gamebreaker.tv/live/ to see. But so far, the game is pretty great!
