It was a fun demo to play, the full game will provide me with many hours of entertainment I'm sure.

I enjoyed the demo enough to buy the full version. The car chases in hotwired were hella fun.

I dunno if it will have lasting gameplay was my major concern.

Yes it was fun, but after a few days it was just same old. But in saying that if I can get it for a decent price I will probably look at it.

Yea if anyone knows where to get a good deal for hardline I'd be keen to know, I won't be paying full price when it comes out I'll buy once it's discounted.

VPN through Origin Mexico was $39.99US - just over $50 NZ so not too bad.

So how does it work, where do you download the game from? I see it's available as a torrent already but you need a legit version.

started going by a new motto: if's made by EA, I do not buy. Solves a lot problems and headaches :)

I couldn't get origin in any form (NZ, US, AU, MX) to take my CC, either though origin itself or through origin webstore!

I would have purchased it via the mexico store if I could get it to work :(

Picked up a hard copy from the warehouse for $75. Pulled the install code from the case and threw the rest in the bin on the way out.


Edit: FWIW I'm having a lot of fun.

I've been so busy all I've had time to do is finish the campaign so far, actually not bad but the "freeze" mechanic is very overpowered. Basically went through the final mission arresting everyone and hardly fired a shot. To mix thinks up I played one mission where I equipped a silenced bolt action sniper rifle, do headshots, and see how many dudes I can kill without anyone noticing (spoiler: heaps), If you're quick enough you can take out two guys standing next to each other before the other guy raises the alarm.

I think they very deliberately set the SP campaign up to encourage you to try and get through with minimum possible casualties, which is an interesting variation.

Fun yes, repetitive a little and I wish the weapons were more similar to the same in bf4. Also, buggy, I keep getting kicked etc.

Nice to have new campaign and actually more challenging on 'veteran' than previous which I always moan about. The AI has a long way to go tho. Also they're loose on the finer details. Wheels should actually angle when vehicles are turning. Light covers on lights inside buses should vibrate when the bus is in transit. Audio speech should sync better with mouth movements...you know, I want it all. Plus more time to play it...

That  sounds to me like  a racing game where it encourages you to finish last.......

I think in general police at least pretend to try and minimise casualities
