Everything is always in Cali :(

No love for Texas, I see

Wow play the game ONE day before its release, so dumb. A week, sure that makes sense, but ONE day?, dumb.

I think its more about the occasion, than just to play LP.

I am just sad that I dont live in US in Cali to get my ass to that event.
Lost Planet is my Crysis and Metal Gear Solid haha, so I like it alot. Anyways, 2 weeks and the game is mine.

spare a thought for us poor old europeans....

Awesome, in 2 more weeks the CE will be MINE!! Don't care what reviewers say, also reading people's impressions who own the game in Japan, seems like MP is where its at. So I'm guessing they improved a lot on it from the demo that was released like a month ago.

I wonder how many difficaulties there are, and if they are really hard or just "meh it got restistance, but not NG hard".

Pretty sure I read that there were 3, the first one I hear is easy, but gets tuff towards th end. The last 2 can be an challenge right off the back

Heres a quote from Duckroll who has the game

"DMC3 is definitely harder, but I haven't tried Lost Planet on Hard or Extreme yet."

Such an idiot, comparing a sword/gun game to a pure sci-fi shooter, he is a idiot. Might as well compare Ninja Gaiden to Lost Planet while we are at it huh?

Now I know though that there is Easy, Normal and Extreme. I am going to start with Normal obviously, then Extreme, and then Easy for quick kick ass speed.
