Yep. Going to get this on drop day.

Really nice review of the press beta: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5RAs9BJ-bLU

I hear you. I don't have much interest in Watch Dogs myself so the choice between that and Wolf is pretty easy :D

As to Reaper or not, I am incredibly biased. :D

That's a great deal. It's reduced price and you get a Steam key too...

pre-loading it now on Steam. It's 40 gigs. Holy shit.

I hope this game is awesome.

If I get a few more games like this i'll need to get a larger hard drive! Then again, I could clean up some old games I don't play much as well. I think we'll be in a new age when a game cracks 100G. Which may very well be the next Elder Scrolls game.

Wow. Well, sometimes you need to do that. Good luck and hope you had backups of the important stuff!

Yeah, I kind of what to know too but I don't want to "dwell on the pain" in whatever way it turned out to be bad.

Oh man. Yeah, that happened to my wife a bit ago. It looked like an update for Firefox and it exploded the computer. I was able to beat it into submission but WOW it exploded with spyware in seconds.

Windows really is a cesspool security wise.

PS The New Order is fun. Lot's to say about it and i'll save it for the roundtable/future review.

Did you pick it up scrypt? I wasn't sure how that turned out.

You got a PS4? Awesome. I've heard Wolfenstein: New Order is awesome on the PS4 so you have great options in getting it. I can't say which you'd prefer.

That said, I really have been loving the shit out of Wolfenstein. I hope they release DLC for this one because i'd love more of it.

It's a great game. One of the most satisfying games of the last bit. Not finished with it yet, kind of want to take my time.

Unsure if I am going Crusader right away. I want to experience the new rad of the Crusader and how the game plays with loot 2.0 and the improved mechanics. Let you know when I make up my mind BUT either way i'd love a "all crusaders" event. :D

Let me know where you plan on pre-ordering it from. I want to get it from Best Buy as it's the closest to my house and I can just walk in and pick it up on launch day.

They seem fine for an electronic super store, but I hear you. Hopefully we can pre-order it soon.

Thought this was fun. I think the Alien US President would be a good addition to the game. Seriously. It wouldn't maybe fit in with the world lore but it would be a fun class.

For anyone that joins up in the future, they just dropped the info on the full Collectors Edition and what's included.

I am nearly certain when this drops I am going to start a Crusader and head into Sanctuary from the start. Since i've only ever gotten to Hell with my main character i've only beaten the game a handful of times. So I am not upset to play the main story again and in fact I just played D3 the other day and was wanting to do it all over again.

I am digging the idea of starting over with the Crusader because not only will I get the new loot system from the start but also the full Crusader dialog options and how that feels. Unsure if ill roll a man or woman Crusader and if Blizzard showed off what she looked like that might help me out a bit.

I am so fan-boying it right now and I know for many that might seem odd as D3 was a let down, but for what it was I like the game quite a bit and can't wait to check out the new stuff.

Totally, it's only a little under two months...

Yeah, I can't wait. I wonder how many more expansions they are going to do? If they are all as awesome as RoS I don't think i'd mind a couple.

True, but D2 expansion contained two characters and this one is one. I mean thats not a great metric, but i'd personally dig a few more acts and characters.

From what I've heard the PC version is going to be very similar to the console version which had great loot drops. In fact when you completed quests you got some pretty great loot geared for your character so hopefully that makes it to PC too.

I'd also live to get controller support for PC but they have said that might not ever come.

Yeah, I might do that, thanks Travis.

They are adding two more pre-order incentives. If you don't digitally pre-order, you still get the goods if you register your key before March 31st. I appreciate Blizz doing the right thing for people that pre-order outside Battle.net.

> As it is, I haven't played since we all played back in the mid 2013's. Will I be completely outmatched for Reaper?

They have taken some tips from the console version to adjust the difficulty. So, if the game is too hard you can turn it down and if too easy, turn it up.

After playing the update I have the impression Reaper is actually done. Oh well, so much new stuff with this update.

" Yeah, I would say that's it. I would call Adventure Mode the primary feature of the expansion. That said, I think Act V is our best act, so we did take everything we learned there. And you do have to kill Malthael once with one character before Adventure Mode is unlocked. But knowing that you don't have to play story mode over and over again allows people to relax and just enjoy Act V for what it is; and they may or may not come back to it after that, but they don't have to. It doesn't feel as onerous to sit through those things."

Seems like you have to beat Ep. V before Adventure mode is unlocked. I'll play Ep. V first but why the unlock? I don't know how I feel about that.

To make the game feel larger? Or maybe there is some story element in Act V that makes adventure mode unlocking make more sense.

In that interview Blizz did say that the expansion primarily hangs on adventure mode.

Whoa, this weekend only, they are handing out 100% XP boost.

Since March 19th is right around the corner AND comes up to filming of the CG Roundtable it won't be practical to have a ton of people over.

That said, if you are interested in coming by to watch Free to Play with me, send me a site message.

It's out: http://cheerfulghost.com/jdodson/posts/1939
