First of all just getting the game was bullshit. I hopped onto the Playstation store and found it in the free to play section. However, there was no download available that was free and I discovered that on the Japanese store the only option for you is one that comes with 2 units of the premium currency which I think is called Death Metals. This means that the game was 108 yen which granted is only £0.70 but after being told that it was a free to play game I was a little pissed off about being forced to spend money on some in game shit I don't even know the purpose for. While it was downloading I went and looked up Let it Die on the US and UK Playstation stores to find that on there the game IS actually free. So really it's only the Japanese getting fucked over but it's still really annoying.
Anyway, the game loads up and the tutorial starts and I'm having a grand old time. The game looks really nice, plays solidly and Death is a pretty interesting and funny character. I'll talk more about the game itself once I manage to play it a bit more. Once I finished the tutorial I was presented with another title screen and once I tried to hit go on that I got a big download message stuffed in my face. Turns out the game only downloads the tutorial when you buy it and then downloads the rest later which resulted in me falling asleep while I was waiting and now I've not been able to play because I've been busy with family and work.
It looks like a really good game but the whole experience is a true testament to the really shitty side of modern gaming.
