Heat for price. Good shop, delivery etc. I personally was going to ignore this game after the microtransaction scandal. However most reviews state that buying the microtransactions actually ruins the fun. You can get the good loot from captains. Do you save them, upgrade your characters abilities and have them fight for you. Or kill them and get their loot, decent weapon, side mission to upgrade said weapon. Seems quite interesting. For that I am now ready to get this sooner rather than later. Good find.

I suppose the idea they're pushing you towards is "why choose?! If you've got money, you can have both!"

That's defintely what they're aiming for but if this one's anything like the original, the biggest issue will be becoming overpowered well before the end. I usually play games on normal difficulty because, based on the time I have to play, I'd rather finish a lot of games than master a few. With this though I'm going to ramp it up from the start because by about 2/3 of the way through the last one you could cut through hundreds of enemies without any worries about getting killed and that destroyed the excitement that was there early in the game.

I do the same with regards to difficulty. I used to always play on the hard setting but I have too many games to get through now. To be fair to the original, a lot of games with a level/skill upgrade system suffer the same problem. It's a hard thing to get right, because when you're first starting out you have nothing and are new to the game. As you progress not only are you levelling up and getting better equipment but you're also getting better at the playing the game. It'll be interesting to see how the difficulty pans out in this one.
I've gone with Simply Games purely because they have a better track record of getting games out early. Shopto used to be the kings of that but not so much these days in my experience.

Are those DLC pre-order exclusive? Want to get from Amazon in a little while because the games normally reach about £30 and SOMETIMES go down to as low as £20 as seen on a couple of occassions. =l

ShopTo got my 'Uncharted:The Lost Legacy' to my door a full 2 days BEFORE the release date. Was kinda impressed by that.

Now THAT'S a good price. Far cheaper than Amazon currently.

I can't bring myself to finance a game that has such practices in it. Still, a good deal.

I really enjoyed the first one so it's a shame what they've done with the loot boxes.
This game is still reviewing very well.

It is, but as I understand it many reviewers are reviewing it while ignoring the loot boxes. Even if it was a brilliant game though, random lootbooxes in a single player game? I feel like if I buy the game, it's saying to publishers "yes, I'm ok with this practice" Have to vote with your wallet, as they say.
