@Dazman It shouldn't be a price issue, with the exception of digital sales physical is always cheaper here, and physical sales are usually cheaper still, I got SMT V new for £18 over Xmas, it was still £54.99 digital at the time and didn't even get as cheap as £18 when it was on sale. Games that are £60-70 on release day are usually only £50-60 physical, it's nearly always in the £10-20 cheaper range for physical simply to try and compete with digital. It's usually cheaper to buy the physical version and buy the season pass then it is to buy the deluxe version digital as well.
The primary issue will be the complete lack of places to actually buy them, I have one dedicated game store left where I am in the centre, the only other choices for new games are Argos which is only situated in the two Sainsbury's supermarkets and Currys, which is a home electricals store and isn't even in the town centre. Every other choice is online, and most people would rather pay more for instant digital games then pay less for a game they'll get in a day or three.
It's just simply harder to buy physical games now then it was here, and the sales reflect that.
@Dom_31 Every person I've seen say that missed how it's built like a character action game like DMC/Bayonetta and how you can activate weapons and attacks with the same button press.
This allows you to combo attacks and do some really crazy stuff. Absolute basic is DMC's Stinger/Rising Tide/Gun juggle combo by setting up sword using right stick, input stinger directions then activate sword and stinger with same button, then while the stinger is happening you set up fist with right stick, Input launcher directions, then activate both with single press again as stinger ends, same with gun rapid fire while launcher is happening. It's basically character action but all the skill is in the weapon switching instead, which is an interesting mixup of the formula.
