@colonelkilgore did you try playing the original games on harder difficulties then ?

@nomither6 The older original GoW games were still very popular. Well, until Ascension; I don’t think many people cared for that one. But the first 3 mainline games especially were quite popular, even though the 2018 reboot has stolen all the more recent attention.

@nomither6 yeah I’ve platinum’d them all (bar 3 of course as I’m still to play it), so I’ve had to play all bar the original on hard iirc (think there may have been a speed run on the original instead).

Never really enjoyed the original games, but I never have with those types of games. The 2018 reboot I thought was fantastic though and ticked all the boxes for me. Don't see there being any problems with people liking them though or any shocks in preferring them over the reboot, it would be pretty boring if we all enjoyed the same things. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve put the request through today to shift a weeks worth of booked holiday to the w/c 14th Nov… so 🤞!

@colonelkilgore Sounds like a good time to shift it to 😎

10 minutes until I can make the most unreasonable purchase of the year

Edit: Jotun edition pre-ordered. I'm a calm but no so reasonable person, I guess.

@Voltan we have to wait til 10am here in the uk… what was the cost after?

@colonelkilgore I paid 1300 PLN for the most expensive one. That's 230-ish pounds. The collector's edition was 160-ish.

@Voltan 👍

Is anyone else not finding the collectors edition and jotnar editions on Amazon?

@colonelkilgore Could it be exclusive to some retailer in the UK? Push Square links to GAME. What about PS Direct?
Also: Jotnar edition sold out in a matter of minutes over here, better act fast if you're looking for that one.

@Voltan yeah it was Game, so sadly by the time I left Amazon and loaded up Game the Jotnar was sold out… got the Collectors though 😢

@colonelkilgore Damn, that's quick. Not entirely surprising, I guess.

@Voltan well at least I got the steel book and the hammer 😔

@Voltan Welcome to my world! After getting the super expensive edition of Elden Ring I think I'm done in getting stuff like that for now. I was quite lucky in that my Amazon order got cancelled but managed to get one from Simply Games.

Now the question is will you spend almost 400 hours playing the game to get your moneys worth? 😂 Jokes aside, that is not the reason I've been playing the game for so long, I just can't stop playing it!

@JohnnyShoulder At this rate, money will soon be worthless in Poland so I might as well spend it on stuff

And the Jotnar edition is already being scalped. 🙄

@JohnnyShoulder could be wrong (in i fact probably am) but this is the first time that I'm aware of big-time scalping on games (It's obviously been going on with consoles for 20+ years).

@colonelkilgore I'm pretty sure it has happened before, particularly with Nintendo games.
