Test Drive Unlimited 2 Extras + Euro Pre-orders & Release Date

[camryt]

And then those Vey noobs will see one guy with Vey SS and they say 'I WANT ONE!!!!!!!! ZOOOMG'

 

And what? They cant have one. They'll be angry. They'll probably leave this game.

[Sponge]

Good.

 

Leave the actual people who want to play the game for what it is, rather than have the fastest car and cause grief to others.

[TimBud]

Wow, i wonder if anyone at Eden understands marketing at all. :confused:

 

I often just read the TDU2 news threads without posting, but this time I'm pretty vexed. Almost considering not buying the game at all just because of this pre order crap.

If I spend my money on a game, I want the opportunity to access everything (even if a buy DLC) and not see other players with different than me. Especially if there's a performance advantage.

Keep the playing field level so all results are based on skill and nothing more.

If I pay extra for a special edition, then I deserve the benefits because of the finiacial outlay. But just because I live somewhere else and ahve to buy from somewhere else, doesn't mean I should have to have anything different. Regional and shop differences is almost prejudice. :eek:

 

I will get from GameUK if I do. Only because they're the only place that will deliver PAL games to the UAE. Would much rather have one of the Astons, than a Veyron though.

 

 

Fair enough I might be in a grump because I've not eaten yet and because I've had a G&T, but alot of opinions in this thread are similar to mine ;)

[Sponge]

I agree with the differences in nationality pre-orders.

 

There's no but to that as well. Just because we have more game providers in the UK, doesn't mean we can have what others can not.

 

I'm not complaining, but if I were french/anything other than British, I wouldn't be terribly pleased.

[Eudemon]

There's nothing to stop those people ordering from the UK though. Also I get what people are saying but one thing to remember, as much as you want Atari/NBP to say 'yes the pre-order exclusives will/may become available after the release of the game', they can't as they are bound to the agreement they have made with all those retailers.

 

The point of these bonuses is to make people buy from that shop over another, if Atari were to say the above then people would just buy from wherever making these "retailer pre-order exclusives" seem less attractive.

 

So basically never say never but no-one can say 'yes' this early.

 

Note: Again I know nothing, so don't take this as a yes they will come post release.

[Sly870]

Lol, Diablo fair point :)

 

But, Atari are a micky mouse op who don't know how to do business properly, i guess they going to loose a lot of customers :)

[:)]

Game has given the best package imo :D Thats where I will be getting mine ;)

[blackhole522]

Hmm, that was dull. Too many cars over too may stores.

 

Yeah it sucks, doesn't it?

[TimBud]

:)

I know why they offering pre-order bonuses to attract sales at each retailer... but thats such a short term strategy. Even Microsoft don't use that... the closest I've seen is in FM3 where they offered bonus vehicle liveries for pre-orders.

 

If they give away some of the best cars exclusively at the beginning, then we all know from experience how messed up that can get.

 

I've had some food now and another G&T, so I've decided to get TDU2... but its still such a disappointment to see such a short sited strategy from Eden that will (as yet) not reward the long term player.

[Luchingador]

theres something i still dont get, howthis is gona work.

 

Imagine yourself driving your, i dont know, your DBS Carbon Black Exclusive, feeling cool, you found one of your mates and you star showing off,

-""you like my car?:cool:"

and he sees you like this:

 

-"what?"

-:sulk:

 

obiouslly for the other people to see you car, will require to the car to be installed in all copies, and if thats tha case a little mod shloud do the job to unlock all of them, for offline at least.

 

cause if we going to see lots of "secret cars" around the island is going to be terrible

 

PD: sry for any gramatical mistakes or anything, english is not my mother language, practicing though.

[Penfold]

This is stupid..

 

But the Veyron SS might just be the one with the horrible special edition paintjob and a normal one will still be available to everyone

[SL65///AMG]

Umm. Any Ford Shelby GT 500 pics :confused:

[Inspiflo]

That Spyker looks damn good !!!

[camryt]

Love Caterham's rim geometry haha. And why this Cammie has such high suspension? An offroad version?

(that's actually tire issue, the rim isn't big enough)

[Mad_Lambo]

Wow, thats just a little patronising.

But what are you going to do when you can't get every car in the game, especially as you were so proud to have bought every car variation/house in TDU...

:p

[DreadMetis]

Ahhh, poor people from Commonwealth, I'd so love to have problems like "hummm, what car(s) will I choose from which reseller with my Casino add-on"... ;)

I still for the life of me can't work out why France got.. well... nothing. You can order from the UK but that's not the point, you shouldn't have to.

[Speeder]

I think it's a plot to make french people buy TDU2 in UK! :p
