One of my most anticipated games of the year besides LBP!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

So this will likely hit the EU psn in 2010? I think I'll import the US version purely for the faster DLC.... SCEE management of the PSN = fail.




Well, it's Sega's choice when they release it on PSN, and seeing as PAL & NA BD releases are close together then I guess the DLC will be available close together too.

I'd get the NA version anyway due to it coming out three weeks earlier along with it also being cheaper.

Not always the case.

Look a SC4, the dlc is up to part 5 in Jap PSN and part 2 in US, EU has gotten zilch. Whats annoying is that the same content is availible on Live in the EU so its not an issue of localisation, since I doubt MS would buy exclusivity on a bunch of costumes for a fighting game for EU only, I can only point my finger at Namco Bandai or SCEE.

My money is on SCEE.

It works for me. He's not supposed to sound macho. He's just a guy from a small city in his 20s.

And I must say that the DLC for this game is awesome. Play through the game as the bad guys? Awesome!

What is everyone else's opinion on the new DLC?

Does anyone know if you get to use that pike and shield thingy that Selvaria was using during the cutscene?

That looks pretty badass... I've already pre-ordered hermodel from play-asia :)
