Kinda disappointed to see that the achievement system won't yield any benefits. That was a stroke of genius in Mass Effect and King's Bounty Armored Princess.

Hey guys I'm about to preorder SJ off Amazon and I was wondering how slow the super saver shipping is on new games. Money is kinda tight right now (although I have budgeted enough for this game) so if I could save 6 dollars on shipping it would be nice. I really don't want to step into the depths of Gamestop and I know my Walmart won't be carrying it.

Edit: Went with release date shipping. :D

My Amazon Prime subscription ends next month. Give me your email address, and I'll add you to my membership so you can get Release day shipping.

Darn it I'm never gonna find time to play this between infinite space, pokemon and FFXIII. :lol

I put a reservation down on concept alone and I'm just going in blind. Backlog here I come.

So when does the embargo for the reviews lift? Or is there one, since RPGamer and Destructioid already have published theirs?

Atlus forums show that Nintendo Power's review is out:

8/10

"For better or for worse, it makes the player the master of his own destiny. As it turns out, that's a heck of a challenge, but the challenge is worth it."

Went by the place that usually gets things in early and they told me they didn't have it yet and weren't sure they were going to have it Tuesday either. Looks like I might have to hunt a copy down at a Gamestop now. Ugh.

I really want to have it to make commuting more bearable next week. The train has been getting worse and worse lately. SMT is my only hope for sanity!

I am cranky still about Gamestop getting the poster for this, I am working my ass off to clear my gaming queue so that I can give this my undivided attention.
Pokemon Soul Silver and Final Fantasy XIII I am talking to yoooooou

Ive never played a SMT game before, is there anything you could compare it to so I have an idea of what to expect if i were to pick it up?

It is like ********** a pair of ***** in the ****** while *********** with their ******* and watching ******** do ***** with a crazy ***** while drinking ********* after taking *** and then you ******* and then you do a jig.

Oh you mean gaming wise.
Take some old school Wizardry (or Etrian Odyssey) mix in a tiny dash of Pokemon- add in some Clive Barker/H.P. Lovecraft influence

Very excited to jump into this one. I'm assuming Gamestop won't have this one until Wednesday, which is a shame! Infinite Space has been sort of a fun diversion but THIS is the DS game I really want and it's almost here!

Pre-ordered from Videogamesplus so I'll probably get it early next week (shipping to scandinavia seems to take about a week).

Yep. Called my local GS and said they will be getting it Wednesday.

Doesn't make too much difference for myself, still need to finish up Lunar 2, anyways.

Damnit, I kind of want a DS just for this game. -_- Why must you continue to neglect non-handhelds this generation, Atlus? Whyyyyy??

But it's guaranteed to be better than all of those, so hop to it.

--buy a DS Lite for $130

Anyone from Canada getting this from Gamestop? It seems that we are getting the game a day later than the US. I will go tomorrow and see if they will have it or not.

They did that with one of my copies of Heart Gold and Soul Silver, and they ended up coming a day late, I was pissed and this time I WILL call and gripe.

The game will be there for you when you do get a ds and when you do get the game alot of us will be envying you for the fact that you will be diving into it for the first time.

Disregarding junior members' opinions for no reason other than because they are junior members, or knocking them down for being such, has always been a rather "juvenile" thing to do, ironically.

(One for me, one for my gf's son's birthday)

I just checked my Amazon account and received this message:

We are preparing these items for shipment and this portion of your order cannot be canceled or changed.

So maybe I'm good! Although I don't see how it will get to my house by tomorrow if it hasn't shipped yet, but who knows.

From what I've heard/viewed, the butt rock is pretty much gone and there is ominous 'epic' music. That disappoints me because I LOVE the butt rock in this series.

Agreed, I was merely pointing out my love for hand held gaming as I have owned and loved every variation of a nintendo hand held since the original game boy in the 80's and that I still own them till this day...

Probably getting this when I got enough money. The cover art is kick-ass, the robot and the font is so cheesy that it is actually great. :lol

Is this game closer to Nocturne instead of Persona in terms of gameplay and story?
