    Well, I could ask Mother Mayhem for a mindwipe

    No, the cut of them is too sharp and pointed to be heroic

    Yes, they did - and after a suitable length of time had passed, the "exclusive" items became something anyone could earn

    This (and the controversy) is nothing new.


    • EB Games: Crab Spider Battle Helmet (male)
    • Gamestop: Helmet Of The Blood Widows (female)
    • Best Buy: Arachnos Mystic Helm (male)
    • All other U.S. retailers: Wolf Spider War Helmet (male)
    Anyone claiming that this comes as a shock needs to be questioned.

    I think we'll see some interesting vet rewards in the not too distant fuiture

    Yeah - "exclusive" is a word like "free" and "sale" - it makes you take a closer look, no matter what's being sold

    Still mad though.
    Don't be mad - be at peace - everything's going to be fine

    They wear the Armored Spider Bras of Evil - there's no way they could be on the right side of the law

    Check out the wording for the "exclusive" items offer - there's plenty of room there to make them available at a later date

    Because that comapny hadn't asked them for exclusive items at that point in time?

    I think anything with water is restful, and anywhere where you can see the sun setting into the sea is beautiful.

    It was probably one of the most heavily analyzed topics of the late eighties and early nineties.
    I heard that the conclusion they came to was "no u".

    Well, they've not actually said that won't happen - but when you're marketing something as exclusive, it's probably not a good idea to point out that it'll also be available in a non-exclusive way later

    Check out the wording of the "exclusive" offer - there's lots of wiggle room

    But you did get early access to DP and DS.

    They might - or they might just twirl their marketing moustaches, and roar wih evil laughter.

    The video has details. (Can't say)

    I have had to moderate this thread. (Can't say)

    Please folks, it's a holiday weekend. I already have to work all 3 days of it, I'd appreciate it if we can help me out a bit and let this one go.

    Thanks,
    Should I delete it from my hard drive too? Like am I doing something wrong by keeping it, or should it be wiped?

    No - at the time they wrote it, they're weren't aware that one retailer was going to suggest/ask for some in-game items as an exclusive.

    So, is this just another Praetorian Earth, with the same characters, just in a diffrent setting? I'm starting to lose track.

    Praetoria is getting a retcon in GR - the current Praetorian missions are going to be revamped, and the comic book should be viewd as an "elseworlds"´story

    Couldnt see a thread about this, but any news no matter how small is news i suppose
    Well, after the music for Cimerora, it was pretty likely that they were going to go orchestral for GR too - but it's nice to have it confirmed

    EDIT: I wonder if there'll be new music for the current game too?
