I'm in northern Europe, and a huge DA2 poster near where I live says the release is on the 10th. I checked a couple of local retailers and they're all also saying the tenth. I'm confused now.

Some European countries, seem to be releasing it on the 10th instead. Some other people have commented on it.

Ooh, NICE. Happen to remember which ones? I was kinda under the impression that games only get released on Friday in the UK, with Thursdays for the rest of Europe.

On word..."Spore". The rest should be self-explanatory.

I read the same about Norway. Not sure about anywhere else.

Digital versions should really be downloadable and playable on the same day worldwide.  The different dates only make sense for the retail version.

If the game has gone gold, why can't they just send them out earlier to Europe so everyone can get it on 8/3 instead of 11/3!

It's not a matter of "sending them out".

In North America, all games (and not just ours) are released on Tuesdays. In Europe, they're released on Fridays.

That's simply the way it is.

There are more than enough games released on other days. So time to change!


EDIT: I do love my Gameshop though, it doesn't care too much about these kinds of stupid dates. When it has the game, and it's been officially released somewhere in the world, they will sell it too.

At least they don't do a Square Enix and wait like, 5 months between US and EU release. Its not like they need "translating"

[Raraptor]

Wait, now that you mention it, it's released the 10th here as well in the Netherlands.

[Twaddlefish]

The actual reason is because you touch yourself at night.

Woof... desperation gets to some folks, it seems.



Patience, grasshoppas.

[DarthSliver]

Well i am not going to read the whole thread but I must say my reason is because Europe is getting Pokemon 2 days before US counterpart

[TaHol]

Yey...I just checked and it will be out 10/3 in Finland too.

[Crazed Weevil]

Be grateful it's only three days. In the old days it used to be three months or more!!  You end up having to stay away from the forums for ages least some muppet give away the twist or some other earth-shattering spoiler.

I always assumed the cause for the delay was that they had to add the letter 'U' back into all the game text and manuals...

I think you might want to stay away from the forums when they are released in the US, too. You know how some people are hardcore and can manage to beat the game in 2 days... At least I know I won't go anywhere near the forums until I have beaten the game myself.

Since its a north american game we get special privleges.

But all of its themes stem from Europe...so we should get it first.

I dislike it when a RPG is being released few days before i can play it myself. I do not mind waiting, but the week that a game is being released is the time when i feel like a little boy on christmas, worst part of this is, i can not come to the forums, since its going to be full with players who love to spoil.

A fine example is, is the ending of ME2.

*SPOILER DO NOT READ*

Few days before the game was released in The Netherlands, a friendly USA player shared with us his opinion on the game, he told us how the game playes etc, then he kinda spoiled the ending, you know the one that if you have a weak ship the crew dies. Some might like the warning, but this spoiled alot for, its not fun playing a game, when you know the ending, the same with reading a book, when you know the ending, what is the point?

*SPOILER ENDING*


I know for sure that Bioware has put few secrets in DA2 for example, a secret companion or a twist or worst  companion dies. I do not want to know this beforehand, i want to explore and be suprised in the game and not on the forum.

I don't mind the three day wait, but "Americans get new games on Tuesdays, Europeans get them on Fridays, that's how the industry works" is not a valid excuse any more, especially with big name games. Cataclysm was released in Europe eight hours before North America. On a Monday night/Tuesday morning. Suffice it to say, the complaints from Americans about the eight hour time difference were music to the ears of Europeans like myself, who usually have to wait much longer to get any games, movies or TV shows.

So why adhere to this? its stupid. it'll just make europeans that are eager to play your game get it through illegal means.

I don't know, EA pulls this trick all the time. They must have a grudge of some sort.
