Beyond: Two Souls

I'm about 80% into the game and the biggest flaws I noticed without getting into any spoilers mind you is the way you make contact with objects and how quantum dream expects you to magically know which direction of the stick you need to push in order to make contact with said item. Heavy Rain made it clear with arrows and button icons while Beyond just has dots all over the place. This makes certain scenes that require quick timing to be very annoying.

The second issue I have with is with the story (again no spoilers), which I found very obvious that certain scenes and locations were picked mainly for "cool action scene purposes" and overall felt very forced with the story.

The game is still awesome, just don't expect Heavy Rain levels of awesome.

Now that's the kind of bitching I like Mr StayFree has his hands on the game and can give a good opinion on what's what. me thinks they made the dot system just to divorce them selfs from Heavy Rain. If they did like HR them people would be bitching it's the same and to easy to play. I could be wrong! The real goal is to sell the game and they are not doing to bad at the moment, I may be wrong... there too but it seems to me they my just get over the line. Gaming is not like when HR came out there are so many after your coin your wallet can't keep up these days.
Like Mr comaamen86 had a go at the demo did not like it that's the risk with demos had a go with the Battlefield 4 demo and I liked the game controls in that very smooth.

Asia Director's Edition + Preorder items

The postcards are like film negatives, translucent so if you hold them against the light you can see the pics clearly. I guess that's what the torch is for. Those came in the black box. The 2 glasses came in the other box with the girl on it.

Very nice.

If you're able to get any more of the pre-order items without having to buy the game again, you'll hit me up, right?

I'll try mate. It'll be hard as most shops did not get them at all. And those that did didn't get enough to cover their preorders either.

Hmm, I asked a friend in Singapore to try and get one for me, she did not manage to get the pre-order items, so it seems that they distributed very few of these, sadly.

Well, the Director's Edition still looks nice, will come out a bit expensive after shipping and all, but I've anticipated this game for quite a while, hehe.

Mate, can you tell me if the box is about the size of a standard DVD/BD case or bigger than that? I mean, it looks like it's about the size of a DVD case, but there's the artbook, so, I was wondering about that.

Anyway, congrats on getting the pre-order items, they look pretty rad.

Yes the preorder items were a pain to get and overall many people who preordered got screwed over due to shortages.

The box itself is huge. The height is maybe 30cm or so.
