LRG beat them by a day or so



Nice that it seems to be simple enough to print these, and they're jumping right into them.

Does anyone know if The Pathless will be an iam8bit exclusive or if there'll be a "standard" physical release later down the line? Can't find much information on it. It's quite pricey - especially to get shipped to the UK.

HeavyArm has been one of the more popular stores to order Asian English releases from, especially for Vita collectors. If I'm not mistaken, they are either Malaysia's largest or even only official reseller of licensed Sony and Nintendo products. Hadn't browsed their store in ages, so decided give it a look.

There's a link via their Twitter that in turn leads to a link tree.

Limited Game News has documented the Tamashii ... fiasco? God I'm glad I got out of the "fullset" game. Poop Slinger part 2!

limitedgamenews.com

Tamashii [Limited Rare Games] | PlayStation 4

Inspired by obscure Japanese games from the 80s/90s, Tamashii is a puzzle-platformer set in a distorted world of unsettling imagery.

Hmmm should I have posted this in the LRG thread? Since we're pretty sure it's the same dudes?

I was very confused reading that for a minute before I realized this has nothing to do with LRG but a knockoff company who picked a very similar name to apparently confuse people?

Is Tamashii even a good game?

Have we had any actual fraudulent releases yet? It seems like easy money.

Ah, I didn't mean fiasco as in fraud. Just completely dumb. Did you read the article? Dev himself couldn't confirm anything and suggested nobody buys this release.
Yeah, I read the the article. This here *probably* isn't fraud.
But think how easy it would be to pull off some fraud? If you have some incomplete game that will never be finished, maybe a handful of people are vaguely aware of. Bam, throw up some site and take some people for $50 a pop, and promise to maybe deliver in months, string people along if you feel like it, and go dark a year later. With the success of Poop Slinger and now this, it's primed to happen.

I saw this roughly when it was live first reported by LGN (6 pm-ish). Tried to buy, but then something came up that I had to attend to. I tried later that night. Getting so far as the PayPal screen loading in an endless loop. Refresh, nothing. So I tried over and over the rest of the night. Fell asleep. I woke up around 6 AM. Tried the site, no good. Was looking at older tweets from them and others. They had a direct PayPal link, but that tweet was deleted. Did some digging on Facebook, found the link. Sent them the money, with a note said I tried and tried. So we'll see what happens.

Edit: I do want the game. It's been in my switch wishlist since day one. It's been on sale a few times, not sure why I haven't bit (backlog is insane, and not moving since I started playing Slay The Spire 😩).

Physicality pulling the plug on all preorders (good bye Rolling Gunner...)

An Open Letter from Physicality Games

We started Physicality Games with the idea of differently providing pre-order exclusive physical video games. We didn't want the artificial scarcity of limited-print runs to prevent fans from getting the game they wanted. We wanted Deluxe Editions that any fan, gamer, or collector would be proud to display on their shelves, packaged in beautiful, metal, display boxes and containing items meaningful to the game. We wanted a site that would facilitate communities by allowing gamers to easily share their gamer IDs and favorite games across the internet. We wanted something true to our key values of kindness, community, quality, and charity.

In many ways we succeeded. We are proud of the site we created. We are proud of the Deluxe Editions we put together and the high-level of detail that went into every aspect of them. And we are proud to announce that we, from our own pockets, have already made all charitable donations earned through pre-orders.

However, after eight months of sustained effort we failed to achieve sufficient pre-orders for any of our exclusive pre-order titles. We have therefore decided to cancel our exclusive pre-order titles and will begin processing full refunds to our customers per our guarantee. This was a painful decision to make but we can no longer, in good consciousness, ask our customers to continue waiting.

We offer a sincere apology that we are unable to ship and would like to thank each and every one of our fans from the bottom of our hearts for the patience and understanding they've shown.

The Physicality Games website will remain open. Non pre-order games and apparel will remain available for purchase with quick shipment. Community functions will remain active and new accounts and profiles can still be created and shared online. However, exclusive pre-order titles will no longer be available.



Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this transition.



- The Physicality Games Team

Is the game good? is it vaguely horror in genre?

It's more a puzzle game with horror element, It's good when you know what to expect, puzzle get pretty challenging later on and some of them are really nice. But other time it's really really really slow. It's not for everyone.

Fuuuuuuuck. It was going to happen eventually, but I hoped we'd still have at least a couple more years. Oh well. I guess I'll stop dragging my feet with JPN exclusives like The Legend of Heroes Evo. games, Chaos Ring Trilogy, and Fate/Stay Night.

Amusingly, Avast gives me a blacklist warning every time I open this page of this thread. I'd imagine it's a false positive.
They don't seem to like the shop4megastore url.
