Square put out a live action short film for this, I guess. It's not as bad as you'd expect.
This turned out much better than I expected.

I haven't ordered off of GMG many times before, is it common for them to issue another pre-order discount? The other codes in the thread have expired.
Greenmangaming throws out coupon codes like candy because they know they're getting a lot of traffic lately due to their Steam activateable pre-order sales.

I don't suppose you speak Cantonese, do you? I'm wondering if it sounds authentic.
It sounds authentic to me judging from "early release" streams and whatnot. It feels forced at times especially when they mix it into an English sentence. Pok gai is thrown out flagrantly at almost every opportunity. :china:

A lot of the ambient crowd chatter is entirely in Cantonese as is some of the radio.

Looks like everyone's getting EU keys. My key from Getgamesgo was an EU key too. At least it unlocks at midnight.

They still have it for 25% off for any last minute impulse purchasers:

Well the download might be hosed. It downloaded about 5 gigs of data, all the time Steam read this as 0% progress, no matter how much data had been received. Then it turned into a "suspended" download and refused to do anything. I've tried downloading this twice now, and the same thing happened each time.
The "Suspended" status is a part of Steam's new preload delivery system. Go to /Steam/depotcache/ and sort by "Date modified" or "Size". You'll see your preload data there.

Also the reason the download is small is because it's all compressed. Darksiders 2's preload was done the same way.

Did anyone else get different preorder packs? I thought my Getgamesgo key would have gotten the "Triad Enforcer Pack" that GMG, Gamersgate, and Steam were offering because that's what it said on the Getgamesgo product page.





I ended up with both the "GSP Pack" (Best Buy) and "Police Protection Pack" (Gamestop) instead. I'd rather dress Wei up as a SWAT member anyway for the cutscene hilarity. :haw:

fake edit: looks like it's the "Limited Edition" instead of the "Digital Edition"

:staredog: Getgamesgo just sent me an "Extra Content" key for Sleeping Dogs out of nowhere, which let me redeem the "Triad Enforcer Pack" so all I'm missing is Amazon's "Martial Arts Pack" preorder DLC.

Eurogamer/Getgamesgo is pretty cool.

Sleeping Dogs jumps straight to UK #1.

quote:

Open-world title beats New Super Mario Bros. 2 to top spot

Square-Enix's open world crime adventure, Sleeping Dogs, has jumped straight to the number one spot in the UK charts in its debut week, beating Nintendo's 3DS exclusive New Super Mario Bros. 2 to the top position.

Sleeping Dogs has reviewed well and comes during a period of few releases for the 360 and PS3, helping it to record the fifth best opening week for any game of 2012 so far.
It's still #3 on Steam's Top Sellers (was #2) and has been beating Darksiders 2 over the weekend. Shane Satterfield (Gametrailers) said on his podcast that North American retailers have been selling out of the game.

Well deserved.
