I'm Portuguese. We are asked for 50€ which is actually 63 dollars. That's huge given how much we pay for rent in Lisbon (500?) vs average of around 800 monthly wage, if you're not unemployed........ and the government just added more austerity measures today...

Not happening, sorry. Not for a game, at least!

Also: yeah, I'm still a cheap bastard and usually buy games on sale. I like gaming but would rather do something else, so that I don't value my gaming time that much :)

The region pricing really is BS, that I can understand. When it feels like a game arbitrarily costs you more than other people, it can kill your desire to make a purchase.

Can you activate on steam with the pre-order bonuses with that?

Edit: Hmm... it's only 10% off for me.

Guess so. Keeps redirecting me to a US page with the error. No cheap pre-order for me, I guess! :P

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

It reminds me of this free movie ticket I once got.

It was nearly useless for any outings with my friends because almost no movie would even allow this ticket to be used.

Mind you I had another friend and because I prefered to see movies a bit afterwords, when there are less people there, we easily used it.

Anyone else notice Solomon specifically says 'Any wall you see can be destroyed' at a point in the first mission? I keep seeing the question of destructible buildings come up and I guess that's the answer :P (in the hour long play session video that is)

Walls are destructible, but apparently buildings themselves aren't (the corners always remain or something, I assume the floor does also). So, just cover basically.

I live on my own in a dormatory and the game costs as much as my rent. Rent in a city costs around 500 LTL, while the game costs 150 LTL, as does my rent.

My government adopted austerity measures a long time ago though and we're seeing a lot of improvement. I'm planning on buying this when my birthday comes, at least I can allow  buying myself a video game on my birthday.

In my country of origin, a newly launched game priced at $50 is worth 1/6 of a fresh university graduate's monthly salary. Thank God I migrated.
