A have a feeling someone on this topic is gonna get this game ASAP and make a FAQ/ Walkthrough about it

Gee i wonder who that might be.

I'm pretty sure he's watching us

Okay, enough. He is. Now lets get back to topic shall we?

I think this game is gonna be great... im already fired up!

You said that on the other topic

I hate it when they tell us about new games that are ages away

That's the whole point of it - to get you excited for it. Once it comes out, you cant wait to get it.

Yeah. That is a pretty good way to persuade people. Also they show the good parts of a game, so it makes you want it even more.
