I should try to not get so worked up about things, I think it's just in situations like this that it's worse for me because the silence is so frustrating, and to have it combined with them having the retailers do their dirty work, it doesn't feel right or justifiable.
The other times that things bug me is with dumb things like the Halo LCE not having a disc but that's annoying because it seems silly, nothing near this or The Witcher did bug me because of the exclusive Xbox One items which was because, whilst there was a reason, it seemed hypocritical for a company so against DRM and exclusive stuff to almost be siding with the devil.


It is a shame though, I'm sure it'll be a fantastic game, but I've already seen people holding it against Rocksteady, it would again probably help a little if there was a statement so that people could reasonably see where the fault is, whether that's WB knew months/weeks ago, or Triforce knew and didn't say anything, or it was the actual manufacturer doing something wrong, there's not enough information yet so everyone is running about blindly pointing fingers.

Yeah I probably kind of misread what you meant by that.

I completely agree, people should be upset with how they handled this... waiting so long to even warn people.

I do think Rocksteady will be fine and so will the sales of this game. When you think of it... the sales of the CE's and LE's are nothing in the wake of the regular copies that sell (and even with the issues the LEs sold out anyways and I guarantee you not many who even lost their orders swore off this game).


Pretty excited for tomorrow. Get the LE, unbox it and try the game if I am not too tired by then (odds are I might need to go to bed after doing the unboxing and editing though... but I always take my time starting and playing games now a days).

Yeah, we're probably just a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of any release.

Looking forward to it too, haha, I'll be on YouTube first thing drooling at the screen whilst it's downloading.

That figure looks worryingly flimsy... wonder if that's what the late concerns were about??

Well going off the box alone (I stopped the video at that point) I guess we have a rough idea of the ending....

This whole thing has been an irritating clusterfuck by Triforce/WB, first Game say they're shipping the Batmobile early, so I cancelled the LE when it should have shipped, then they left it up to retailers to tell everybody, less than a week away from release but after Game say they're going to start shipping, that the whole edition has been canned, thus leaving me to source a LE, then on top of that, they again leave it up to retailers to say that the LE is now delayed and there's still no real announcement from anybody about it, they're hiding with their tails between their legs not saying a godsdamned thing about it.

So basically, it's not the physical items causing the problem here, it's the sheer mess caused by Triforce and WB, now I don't think it's very silly to have the launch of a game spoilt by irritating, last-minute decisions with no further explanations thus far.
That's what I meant, these companies have made the launch of the game a pain-in-the-arse headache to deal with if you want a collectors' version, which I thought wouldn't need any explanation on here of all places, and I feel bad for Rocksteady, and retailers actually because of it.

I hear you son, For me I moved on the day I got the email from EBGames like I said I will be getting the game of the year edition with (No fuck ups) everything when it comes out. The thing that gets me is we have so many websites that report "games news" but not one has the balls to ask the WB what the fuck happened with this launch.

Clad I did not get one. It's sad...

So I take it most people are not impressed with the Batman memorial statue? I was tempted to get it after my Batmobile edition was cancelled but now I'm not so sure.

I grabbed one. Statue looks awesome and will go well with the arkham origins statue.
