Looks like could be a really good game.

Rubbish approach to seeling me it however.

And I very much agree with RPS's comments.

rps has this habit, which I don't like at all, of becoming real angry only on certain minor issues like these. before the preorder bonuses there was the different release dates, and before that something equally stupid. Is more important the game, or if the game comes in europe 3 days late?

Well, they're talking about computer games, therefore by definition everything they discuss is a minor issue.

As the article says, they are impressed by what they have seen of the game and have had separate articles on that.

And maybe, like RPS, I am stupid - but games companies doing things just to pander to stores to the confusion/detriment of end customers I think is also stupid. Make your end customer happy, not Tesco Marketing Department.

Games are better balanced without these overpowered pre order items anyway.

I've found that they're usually replaced in short order if they're wearable items. 

Stuff like extra Pets & such fluff doesn't make a difference. 

In MMOs anyway.  This is a singleplayer RPG deal, though, isn't it?
