[DEAD] Get six issues of HGM delivered for only $0!

Thanks for the free trial. If we subscribe after our free trial, do the 6 magazines we receive count as part of the subscription? I'd assume no, but both EGM and OXM I've signed up for free trials and then I would subscribe and they then counted my "free" magazines as part of my paid sub. Magazine looks great, can't wait to receive my first issue.

Good question.

I'm game...filling out now.
 
I already signed up about a month ago (haven't recieved my first issue yet, though). But using this as an extension. This is a great magazine. No excuse for not checking this out.

To answer a few common questions:

Most everyone who fills out the survey within the next couple weeks will start with the August issue (July issues shipped last week).

We won't bill you if you don't renew after these 6 issues are up.

If you renew before your 6 issues arrive, your new sub will add on to the number you have left, not replace them.

Thanks for your support. Response to the offer has been great!
 
Thanks for the free 6-month subscription! I looked at the PDF files of the June and July magazines, and I think they look great. Much better than GamePro.

I know I can't track how many downloads it will get, but I added those two PDFs to the eD2K p2p network just a few minutes ago. Maybe it will help?
 
I got an issue at E3 and I really enjoyed it. I know that the admin of the site I work at miight be interested in becoming an affiliate, so I let him know about it. I'll sign up for the free trial in the meanwhile, thanks for the mag!
 
I saw dis posted at SRK.

the dude said Tim Lindquist or something,

I was like...

aint dat double jump books guy??

but yah, signed all up in dat.

the one I got at E3 was good,

Rocket Knight Adventures ^_^b
 
Signed up, thank you! Can always use new game mags.
Please do a big cover article on Shadow of the Colossus when it comes out. I would subscribe to any magazine that did such a thing. Edge UK did but I have no idea how to get that shipped to the US.

:roll: :shame: Thanks for reminding me about the ignore feature bf. Hope you're glad to know that you're the first member!

Anyhow, thanks for the post DoubleJump. Signed up for the free trial and downloading the two past issues now. PS Loved your Disgaea guide!!
 
Thanks for the offer, DJPubba!
I just bought the first issue at Gamestop and it looks really nice.
Your strategy guides for Disgaea, Phantom Brave, and SMT Nocturne were all topnotch, so I'm expecting this magazine to be the same quality also.
Hope it succeeds!
 
[quote name='djpubba']I guarantee we will never do that.[/QUOTE]


Awesome, I'm in then. Thanks! :)


And on a side not, will your free online issues be limited to the six months also? Or is this to stay?
 
TYVM, OP! I signed up and am awaiting my first issue in 2-8 weeks, depending when in the cycle I subscribed ;)

I'm hoping your mag will be something like Gamefan, which I thought was great, but the month I subscribed they closed up shop.

Funny you should say that because there are a few GameFan/Gamer's Republic guys hanging around that mag...
 
Thank you for all your support and kind words about the mag and our guides. I hope you all got your subs before we had to cut it off. We got aboutabazillion more responses than we though we would, so the offer period is over (but we'll still give every 100th person the free sub deal for filling out the survey).

We intend to make every issue a free PDF download forever, so you'll always be able to read the mag for free if you don't feel like paying for the printed one.

Regards,
Tim
 
Hey I got my FIRST ISSUE today w/ Serious Sam II on the cover... all I gotta say is wow! The quality of the printing is amazing. Definitely liking that so far... I just need to read it now. Thanks!

Pootie Thang's post is useful, because it tells those who have signed up that the magazine is shipping. PT also goes on to describe the quality (at least the print quality) of the magazine, which is also useful, and makes us anticipate the receiving the magazine even more.

Posting that you haven't received it yet serves no purpose in this situation. If many people had reported receiving it, posting that you had not yet received it is acceptable, because it lets others know that they may not all have gotten mailed at the same time, or that there could, potentially, be a problem with fulfillment. Thus far, only one person has posted receiving it, which makes having received it the exception to the rule.

I don't mean to be harsh, although I may get a few complaints for that anyway, I'm just trying to avoid a thread full of "I don't have it yet" and "Why hasn't mine arrived yet, other people got it yesterday." As Barney Fife would say, "Nip it in the bud".
 
K I looked through the entire magazine... not enough Previews which is okay. Reviews are short but they get to the point which I like a lot. Cover story is long and give good information. I'm defnitely liking the "Hardcore Feature" section as well as the Hardware reviews. Something I didn't like was the Cos play section (haha, wtf is this) and the code section. The strategy section was nice as well but needed more content. Something that they could add for the REVIEW section is a HD box. Letting the reader know if the game is like 480p, 720p, 1080i compatable or is it's 4:3 or 16:9. That will be well appreciated if they would be able to incorporate that somehow.
 
Got my free issue today and it's better than I expected. That being said, it's probably not a mag I'd subscribe to. It seemed a little too hardcore for my tastes. I'm a Nintendo junkie (GCN, GBA, DS) and while the magazine does include their games, it seemed to focus much more on the Grand Theft Auto and first person shooter crowd. So articles regarding Serious Sam, Grand Theft Auto, or games like The Warriors (fighting) don't interest me. I expect that out of any multiconsole magazine however.

I did like the review section as they seem to tell it like it is with some games getting less than a 2 out of 5. They also gave games that some "hardcore" gamers wouldn't give a chance like Kirby Canvas Curse a decent score (4.25 out of 5) so they seem very fair.

I was surprised to see an article about the sex scene in GTA. I thought this just came about a week or two ago so they were really on top of it.

I'm not a big fan of strategy guides and codes taking up magazine space because these are something anyone can get off the internet. This mag had a few pages devoted to this. Other features that didn't interest me were Japan (games in Japan I suppose), Anime Review, and Fan Art. The cosplay page also usually doesn't interest me but some of those girls changed that!

Overall, a decent mag but not one for me. I'll take a free issue anyday though!

Well it is called Hardcore Gamer's Magazine after all ;)
 
I am in Love with HGM! I loved the thick pages. Thanks for bringing me a mag with the same feel as EMG 10 years ago. I wasn't a big fan of the GTA stuff (GTA is far from Hardcore ;) ) and it would be cool if you stuck in a RPG page.

BTW I am going to make that pasta tomorrow 8-[ =P~ :whistle2:$
 
I just filled out the survey anyway.

Figure I wont be the 100th but they can use the info.

If its all its cracked up to be then great for a decent mag to come out.
 
i just got my issue yesterday, and im digging it, when i get through everything, ill send some feedback on it, i figure we at least owe you guys that much ^^
