[PS3] Ni no Kuni: Wrath of All Y'All Niggas That Got Swindled

It is made of 100% solid Hepatitis. As dense as lead and as solid as steel.

It'll give you A through E if you're not careful.

Or it would, but PlayCanada already sniped the last four so all I can deliver is the first one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'll cast my foot so far up your ass your children will be born with Down's and your girlfriend will get Hepatitis.

Tonnes of people who already bought the guide are getting duplicates now, so ask around. There are a few in chat.

And Tande's already called dibs on it. So eat my shit.

And to think they fucked up and shipped me multiples. Good lord.

Leaving aside the ethics of Namco's response, what do you intend to do with the extras?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm selling it to Tande at cost + shipping, since she asked first. I feel bad not being able to help out Acer, Term, and everyone else, but there's no real democratic way of doing that after the fact.

How ya doing, buddy?

Okay so correct me if I'm wrong, but the way the message worded it seemed like the guide they're offering as a consolation prize was some special thing and not the same as the guide that was already out there.

But you guys here are talking like it IS the same. So...

Are they the same thing, or what?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It is the same thing, yes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I thought the one they were sending out was hardback? Or are all of them hardback?

As far as PlayCanada goes, is it not against the terms of service for eBay to sell something you dn't actually own yet? I mean, if it were could not a few people put in complaints against them? Wouldn't achieve anything more than potentially causing bother for them but it's minimal effort and potentially annoying and if that's not trolling in it's purest form, what is?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

All of the guides (at least of this initial first batch) are hardcovers.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The guide is different from the Wizard book, right? Cause it's going to be a pain to read all that on the TV screen.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes. The guide they're giving you is this: Amazon.com: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch: Prima Official Game Guide (9780307895981): Howard Grossman: Books

The Wizard's Compendium is the entire point of the Wizard's Edition, as it's a physical edition of the in-game service of the same name. (Think like a bestiary.)

How much of the compendium is duplicated in the Prima Guide is beyond me. I imagine there's the same core information, just in a less arty and pretty package. It might be reduced to tables. I don't know, but I imagine it's like that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'll pop open my copy when I get home and see what kind of compendium it has in the back for enemies/monsters and what have you. I haven't opened it yet simply because I hadn't gotten the game yet (;-; thank you skills).

On the whole free guide, did they send an email to everyone, or was that just a pussy out announce it to the press thing? Because I didn't get an email. But to be fair, they might have just taken me off the list because I opened up a paypal dispute regarding this whole mess. Who knows. But I wouldn't put it past them simply because of their obvious disregard for customer service.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Figured this would happen again when I got burned on my pre-order Dark Souls LE, aside from the Wizard Edition simply not being worth double the cost of what I paid for the game. $47.99 from Newegg and I'm a happy gamer. Namco needs to ditch Digital River after all this negative press, and the only thing that will help move that along is more negative press. Internet petitions and the like do next to nothing. Continually bombing their Facebook and Twitter with stories of how Namco continues to do business with a shipping company that repeatedly fails to do anything right -should- get the job done.

Really sucks for you guys that got burned by them.

FELIPE NO

holy shit, it does have a lot of enemy/familiar bestiary stuff, but its in HELLA tiny writing. At least it comes with some artwork and interview stuff....but yeah, I'd certainly rather have the book with the WE.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

so i'm still waiting for my ebay copy

how are you guys enjoying the game?

is it game of the year?

Spoiler:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I finally got around to starting it last night, and I love how much the world map feels like Dragon Quest VIII. Too many of the options are still locked to say much more than that, but I'm enjoying it.

Pee-pee girl is secretly the main character.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Awesome, glad to hear some Dragon Quest impressions in there!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I heard it's like Dragon Quest meets Pokemon.

It looks like I'm buying a PS3 because of this.

For those who are already playing this and/or have the guide...

What are the manhole-cover like things for? Drippy just says "these are useful too bad you can't use them", so I'm curious. I'd imagine they're for some sort of teleport/transport type spell, but I dunno.

I was speaking idiomatically.

They're access to your Pokemon-like monster storage. You'll unlock them during your time in the second area, and they can hold up to 400 monsters. You get access at the same time you gain the ability to tame (capture) wild monsters as familiars.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I probably should check on my ebay purchase

beginning to think i got swindled

that's like a reoccurring theme with this game for me

oh nevermind looks like it's probably going to come today or tomorrow

yaaaaaay~

FELIPE NO

I'm enjoying what I'm playing so far. There's been a few times that time has actually slipped away from me and I realized that I have been playing for hours.

Sometimes you'll have to grind like crazy, but I miss that feeling. Overall, I've been pleased with this. I just hope I can play it to the end and not get a case of ADD and let another shiny take my interest.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The grinding aspect is kind of nice, honestly. The combat system works well enough, especially for simple encounters, so it's easy to wander around, enjoying the music and gameplay and kill some time. It's old school in the nicest possible way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Look what showed up at my door today.



No note, no invoice. Just a packing slip and a refund a week ago.

Jesus Christ, their shit is all sorts of fucked.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

What the fuck...!

What part of the ordering group were you in? Did you preorder a while ago, or were you part of the Jan 18th order?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

January 18th group. Beyond that, I'm not entirely certain; my girlfriend placed the order.

That being said, she's delighted. Visiting tomorrow, so we'll crack it open and have a look-see.
