I cannot wait to get this game. I'm waiting for it to be placed in the marketplace so that I don't have to rebuy it for Xbox One..

Looks like an amazing game, they deserve every dime of the money. Looks like a lot of time and effort was put into it.

Yah me either, I thought they'd make around $200 million not 4x it.
