Awesome! If would have been there early Sunday had I known. Yay to PA Cags.

The art direction is solid and the animation is some of the best I've seen in a game (though it ought to be, since that's the primary drive.) If you gauge the value of your games strictly on amount of time played though, you're going to be disappointed. The two downloadable anime episodes are decent for the price. No gameplay, just QTEs over two animations done by different studios. Neat for the art. The True Ending DLC however, is extremely solid and I had no qualms paying full price for it. Good fights, great scenes, and a cool wrap up to a game that really surprised me.

Is it difficult?

This is the only thing holding me back as well. It is Capcom and I would hate to get it and then a week or 2 later they announce the complete edition release date (I always have bad timing with things like that). If I really liked the game, I know I'll want to get the complete edition instead with all the DLC on disc. I'll just wait it out later though, it isn't like I don't already have a backlog. So fingers crossed that it was be easy to find at this price by then.

e3 is pretty soon. maybe we can expect an announcement for a complete edition then?

i could be wrong, but i don't think this game is "big" enough for a complete edition.

Sorta kinda interested in playing through this...I get the complaints about how the ending is treated, and I have no love for Capcom anymore, but I'm not sure how much of that is the developer's fault. I'd like to support them for doing something so off the wall (same with Dragon's Dogma - should I skip what could be a great game because of Capcom's policies?).

The demo was really fun, but even $30 is just too much for an interactive cutscene IMO.

to be fair, the demo is not indicative of the entire game. i absolutely hated the demo and swore off this game, but managed to get a copy for free..and after having played the full game it is easily in my top 3 games this gen. ive never had my jaw drop so much from playing a video game.

This is a crazy awesome game. Awhile ago after finding no deals I gave in and just paid MSRP for it and don't regret it. It's a pretty unforgettable experience.

i need to stop coming to this site lol.

I hope so. I have had this game on my radar since its development. I also enjoyed the demo, so I really want to play it. I have a pretty big backlog, but it would jump up to the next game I play if I had it. It's very tempting at this price, but I guess it's better to wait til after E3 since I don't want to buy the game twice.

hell, if i can get BB to pricematch over the phone with target, i'll bite. i have enough credit as it is.

I still have dead rising :otr sealed from last month's trade 2 for $20, going to see if I can swap.

I've been waiting forever to see a price drop on this game, took long enough. The folks at Giant Bomb have been raving about how insane it is on their podcast at least a few times as each of them gets around to playing it, so I've really been wanting to pick it up, but not at full price. I'm a little peeved at Capcom's handling of the ending/DLC stuff a couple of you have mentioned, but I give Capcom and Cyberconnect credit for putting out such an allegedly crazy game.

This seems like a pretty good deal, but I know I haven't seen this game in stock at either of the Targets near me for quite a while. Might have to drive a few miles, hopefully this isn't a YMMV situation.

Actually Target policy is TPC are YMMV. They will NOT price match any TPC if it's not the same already. They only price match advertised sale items. So if it's a nationwide Target TPC good, however TPCs are for each individual stores needs just like clearance.

Got it! Thanks OP!

While you might be technically correct, I have never seen a Target video game price cut that wasn't consistent throughout the entire chain. Clearance is an entirely different story, but price cuts have always been pretty universal as far as I can tell.

well its here in utah.

i had a 25 dollar gift card so i bought this. why i dont know.

My local Targets never even carried this game - I looked for it during the trade-in deal a few weeks back.
