This is what I had feared. It's good that rest of the game gets the appreciation it deserves. Hopefully this latter trend continues.

@Zhuangzhi: Yeah i've gotten a digital copy for now, but when the boxed version comes.. i'm gonna get that as well

@Pkt-zero: I would say that comment from gamespy is rather erroneus as things are far from that bad, yeah they will be there, but not at that level and i suspect they are just exaggerating it to prevent the game from getting a perfect score

You could try Gamers Gate - Log in ( create an account ) - purchace - d/l the GG's downloader - start to download ( it's fast, atleast it was for me - 30 min total ) - unpack/install and there ya go

Or if Atari has gotten theirs fixed you could try there, will be cheaper as well

It's basically the same as ordering a game online, except you download the game as soon as your are done ordering.

You can go to GamersGate from any part of the world and download the game. Atari's online store should have fixed the problems as well, we also plan to add the game to our online store soon. And finally the game should be in retail soon, at least in North America. In Europe this should happen in October.

If enemies are weak enough, do they run away? Cause that would be cool.

While playing the game I didn't come across situations like that. Some were standing still and not attacking me though. But I was playing an old build without all the latest patches installed and these have significantly changed the balance and game mechanics for the better.

For the first point, the demo suggests otherwise, so unless the text for the full game has been rewritten, it seems accurate. For the second point, I can see why they'd deliberately give the game a lower score than to huge, overhyped titles, but scores don't mean much, at least to me.
