Anyone Getting Bastion?

This game intrigues me and I think that I'm going to get it as soon as it releases (no matter what the review says). It looks innovative and old school (style reminds me of SNES RPGs) all at the same time. So who's getting it?

na dont think so, doesent seem like its worth the purchase

possibly, i will deffinately be downloading the trial and checking it out at the very least

still not convinced the game will be worth 1200msp, so i will probably wait for it to go on offer in a few months time, but you never know, if it impresses enough i will pick it up at full price

im still keeping tab on it ! . can't wait for it to be released. :D

I haven't heard much about except a small amount of gameplay I saw.. It looked cool, but arcade games doesn't really interest me. From Dust is the only arcade game that has actually got me intrigued.Warablo13

You see the graphics to this..It could be a 60 dollar purchase reminds me of populas from the old pc game days..From dust looks awesome..

Bastian also looks interesting as a rpg goes..Diablo style type game kind of kid like though..How can you people say 15 bucks is to much haha that cracks me up..Now if the posted and said 60 thna i can see yall point but 15 is perfect..Man how cheap can some of yall be..

I'm definitely getting Bastion. It looks awesome and I so can't wait for it to drop!:D

I'm getting it the day of its release. It's supposed to have a pretty interesting take on storytelling via the "persistent narrator", and for some reason it reminds me a bit of Secret of Mana back on the SNES. Should bring back some good memories. :)

The demo I saw looked like a blast. It may not be a release purchase, but Bastion is on my wish list for sure.

^^This. Just watched an interview/play of the game from E3, very unique.

Day one buy!

Most definitely. It's probably going to be the only game out of the summer lineup that I will be purchasing.

Poor reviews means I'll wait until a sale if I really like it but chances are I'll end up passing it over for better content

Destructiod is one of the few sites that I trust.

There's a lot of talk about this being old school but it's not, back in the day the stories were up to snuff and the action was hack and slash, this is pretty much just like Torchlight in hacking and slashing and not much else.

Yeah $15 is a little steep for an arcade game, but I may just roll the dice and go with it.SexyPorkins

HA, remember back in the day when Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo came out for the SNES it retailed for 79.99 and now we complain about paying 15.00 for games that look & play far better that did.

Except this is the cheapest generation of games ever and we can buy games with more to them for less.

Bastion is absolutely fantastic so far (I'm about three hours in). Jim Sterling is insane as ever.DJ_Lae

Played the trial and decided I'm buying this. Wouldn't be my usual cup of tea but I love that music.

Also, I'm a heterosexual, and I don't mind saying this; that narrator has got one sexy voice.

Might that be Jim Sterling?

Also, to everyone saying that the pricing is a bit steep, most reviews I've read say it's a steal at 15 quid.

I looked at it and it looks cool, but I don't want to pay for a short game.WSGRandomPerson

But...it's not short, it's ten to twelve hours long and features a New Game +.

Oh that review. The only mixed review on Metacritic.

Did you watch any of the "Building the Bastion" documentaries? I knew the dev team would be small but I thought "small" would consist of more than seven people with one former Gamespot member.

Seem like a talented bunch too, I'm happy to support people like them.
