Hey BFG-Guy!!

Are we gonna have a problem downloading this great game? Everyone is going to be doing it almost all at the same time. I'm getting the Collector's Edition and can hardly wait to start playing.

Yahoo! Thanks for the Thanksgiving gift of a great game with wonderful surprises. I have been a BFG member since 2007 and a Beta tester of several of your games and love the idea of getting a game ahead of the pack!

Before BFG, $19.95 was the standard price of a d/l game. Many games in the stores were much more. It has been such a joy in my life to be able to afford games again that paying a one time $19.95 to BFG is a treat for me and a token of my thanks to BFG!

I am especially happy for something new to puzzle over as I just had to put my wonderful mare, Melicia del Rosa, to sleep. She was sick, weak and unable to stand up anymore, so there was only the choice of ending her live with dignity and me by her side, or letting her suffer. I rescued her 11 years ago when she was going to be sold to the meat packers and she has been a wonderful friend and companion. I miss her so and have been in tears so escaping into a game is a blessed relief.

Happy Trails,
HorseDancer

I will also be standing in that line BFG-Guy. Horse Dancer, I'm sorry for the loss of your horse.

Yep, I'll be buying it when it comes out, though I most likely won't have time to play it for a bit

L4L,you sound like me, even if I have no time to play the game, I have to download it immediatley. Has to do with my problem of instant gratification. I also don't mind paying the higher price to help pay for the cost of making a game like this. Sometimes I think we don't always realize how much things cost to make.

PS: Sorry for your loss HorseDancer

Hi BFG-Guy
Well that is disappointing that the money I have spent to date with your company counts for nothing towards development costs of future games and seems I have wasted a good deal of it for nought. I certainly would not want to be subsidised by anyone, and in my delusion thought I had been paying my own way well over the call of duty. I guess I will pass on RTR with snow.

Hi BFG-Guy,
Now you made me feel cheap for not wanting to spend $20.00 for the casual even super -duper game download. I thought we all members of your Jumbo club contributed a lot to support your company by sheer amount of the games we are buying every month. I'm not sure you would get the same profit from a lot fewer people going to buy this expensive version. Sorry, but I don't see the point to be thankful to them.

so much for your kind words my friends. I am writing a tribute to my mare about her life and foals that she took such great care of and loved so much. It will take awhile, and in the meantime I am very grateful for the distraction of games!

All the best,
HorseDancer

Just my 2-cents worth - "so what?"

Either buy the $20 game or wait for the $7 game - either way we still get a terrific game.

Am I happy that there are 2 different release dates? No, but then I am not going to be suffering from this either. Life will go on - get over it people. There are too many important things to be concerned about without adding something so trivial as a release date for the next installment of the MCF games.

Will I purchase the Special Edition? I will be purchasing this game on Nov 25th! I gave it a lot of thought and if it had been a game BFG would not be getting, I would have at least considered spending the $20 at SpinTop like I did for Mortimer Beckett #2.

So YES, I am going to buy the Special Edition on Nov 25th because I love BFG more than SpinTop - and I am thankful for all the great games I have purchased for $6.99 and even some at $.99 and $2.99

Life is too short to be this upset about a release date (or two) for a casual game.

Lets not continue to Beat the Dead Horse..

I have downloaded games that cost much more then $ 20.00 dollars

BFG...You Are doing a Great Job...

Well Said raylinstephens....very well said! Enough already!!!

I would love to see this game in a store.

When I bought MCF Huntsville and Prime Suspects in Best Buy, when they first came out, I paid $19.99 each for them(still have the price on the box). I did not learn about BigFish gameclub until Ravenhearst.

Can't wait until the 25th and see what Dire Grove has in store for us. I have paid 20-30 dollars for a lot of game in the past 15 or so years of gaming, some even 40 if I really wanted it or it was a present for a birthday or such. This was before BFG gave us wonderful games at great prices. So for one game I will treat myself. I may not get to complete Novemberfest this time. I totally understand the money issue as both my husband and I lost jobs in 2008 and still not earning the same as then, so money can only be spread so far. But I have usually paid at least 20 dollars for most of my adventure games, some I didn't even play because they just didn't suit me, or I haven't even gotten around to yet. So extra fun and the strategy guide to help before the walkthrough or tips are out is worth the money. I just wished that I had the time to replay Ravenhearst and Madame Fate as I did last year and RTR too, to get the story fresh in my mind again. I am so thankful for all the quality games I have gotten from BFG for 6.99 instead of 20 dollars or more, so one game is really not such a bad idea, especially when a short time later it will be 6.99.

So sorry Horsedancer for your loss.

To All,

There are 31 images available on Gamespot Web Site. Looks like the in-game shots were taken from the Collector’s Edition of the game, with the rest being concept art shots. It looks like the game is going to be of the same quality as RTR or better.

Here is what was posted over on Big Fish Forums in regards to what is different between the CE ($19.99) and the regular edition ($6.99).

Wanted to post this so everyone could take a look and make up your own mind as to whether you wanted to wait for a few days or not. It looks to me that it is going to be a Great Game no matter which one you decide to get. As I have said before, just one "old" man's opinion.
