Codemasters - Grid 2 - 2013

I think it's best to not buy that. You know how Codemasters roll, they'll probably bundle it like they did with DiRT 3.

Can't wait for this game to come out! I asked the GTP staff to create a sub section for the Grid series, so we can get some online racing going!

Still doubting to get it or not. Will depend on the user experiences.
But it would be really nice if some clean online racing could be organized here. Usually this type of game means utter chaos in online races...

 

[R5]

Seriously? If we want all of the content we'll either have to buy four versions of the game or spend a minimum of $17 extra? Ridiculous and nothing more than money grabbing.

Such is much in the world today...

I'm sure they will but I'm just saying, if you want the whole game on day one or close to it those are your options. Spreading exclusive content over four pre-order bonuses meaning it's impossible for anyone to obtain all of them without paying extra is a terrible practice.

Game developers have a new modo. Buy half my game now will sell you the other half later.

The worst thing is that those places where they put their exclusive content don't exist in my country so yeah i'm stuck with the standard edition, so in the end i'm missing: McLaren MP4-12C GT3 and 2 routes on Brands Hatch; Indianapolis Oval circuit and Indy cars (i'm not that interested in Indy cars and ovals aren't my thing); Nissan GT-R SpecV and five routes on Yas Marina

Plus the Grid 2 pre-order stuff is way too expensive, doesn't see that worth it.

That pricing. I don't even wan't to guess what the upcoming DLCs will cost. And to think I was complaining about shelling out a total of $35 for Most Wanted's DLCs.

Agreed. I've always disliked that practice from devs. After this attempt, Codemasters may even well release all these pre-order contents as later purchasable DLC contents.

Codemasters said that this was more of the retailers choice rather than by themselves.

 

[Spoil-t]

I never preorder games online anymore. I'm just gonna go to Gamestop tomorrow after work & pick up the game which has 2 of the preorder bonuses in the case. 👍

 

[BubbleBelly542]

I think I'll wait for a complete version. I don't need a new game because it's summer now and I don't want games to distract me from friends and music and the outdoors. Plus I don't want to always have to try and find money to buy all this DLC.

Yeah and Microsoft never wanted to block used games on the XBox One, it was rather Games Stops choice. Come on dude, dont be so naive.

Yes. All they are doing is passing blame on so they can appear not to be the bad guys. How do people not see this?

As others have already said that's a complete cop out. Retailers are going to stock a big game no matter what, they don't have to dictate that they'll get a pre-order bonus otherwise they won't stock it.

Four different exclusive pre-order bonues are CM's decision, no-one else.

 

[Silver-Sylph]

Retailers try to get the best content for themselves to get you to pre order from them.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Looking at this.. pre-ordering saved me $12..

Retailers try to get the best content for themselves to get you to pre order from them.

Developers don't have to oblige them though.

What is there to spoil? It's a racing game.

 

[ussr]

OMG!!!

Your heard it first here on GTP, People!!!

Saying if it is "good" or "bad" will lead to having a preconceived idea of the game, therefore not enjoying it as much as without having that info. What's even worse is leaking specific info.

That's why I have not read anything about fast and furious 6 (my favorite cheesy movie franchise since the minute ff1 was released). I know it will have little to do with cars, that it will not be a masterpiece and that its potential is being entertaining for only one watch or at most three, but I don't want people to ruin the experience for me.

When you're pirating games does it really matter if they're good? You haven't lost anything.

 

[m8h3r]

Not spoilers as in the main lead guy dies or anything but I mean cars you win in tournaments. "Oh my, win the first tournament and you get a crappy beetle" sort of stuff. That's all.

 

[wicken]

**** this ****, I pre-ordered this game earlier because my local store didn't have any pre-order stuff from other retailers but today they got a premium edition with all the DLC for only 69,99euros

It is pretty ridiculous, I can't believe they made them that expensive. Quite an outrage. But Steam has it and they have all pre-order content, and a copy of GRID 1 at 10% off. Good deal, but of course that's on PC which not everyone can get do.

 

[SlowInFastOut]

anyone know if the Toyota Supra is back in Grid 2? i saw a car list going by screenshots and ZERO Toyotas were on it, someone say yes, please.
