Looking forward to trying this out before finally deciding whether a purchase is worth it.

I was sold on this game purely for the fact that Mike Patton (of Faith No More for those who are confused by that name) would be returning!

From the preview articles and screenshots, it looks like they did a good job with this. Looking forward to playing the demo and comparing it to the first one (which I bean dived, um, six months ago... hmm, better play some more of that soon redface )

Is it possible to boost MP in the first one or it is broken completely?

A demo before the game is actually released, that actually genuinely surprises me considering demos don't get released until waaaaay after the game has released.

@Finderkeeper: It's possible to boost, you'll need 3 other people for one achievement but you only need 2 for the rest of them (you and someone else) The win counter can be glitchy if you play the single player since you started or if you turn the game off, but the guides explain how to fix that if you come across it.

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT! This has been my most anticipated game since I got to play an early build of it at Pax East last March.
