No I'm not mad, Honestly couldn't care less if they did a midnight release. Is a few more hours really going to kill people? It's just a game, normal work week and life week for me, may play a few hours by the end of the week. Don't understand how some of you get so into a games release, Guess some of us will never know.


Perhaps not, It is a game, but is it just a game? Some of us have anticipated this title for quite some time so sure it's not going to kill anyone not to have it 10 hours earlier but I for one would VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE IT NOW! 

I think I can persuede the owner at Game Crazy to release at Midnight, he is indeed a huge Bioware fan...wish me luck!

The game stop down the street from me is doing a midnight release, but I never go to them since I have to work the next day and can't play it anyway. Now if they released games on Friday or Saturday night then it would make sense.

We only do midnight released based on pre-orders.



So those of you who didn't pre-order...this is your fault!

I'm not mad at the lack of midnight release, The EB games that I pre-ordered my PC CE copy at is in a mall so there would be no way they could open at midnight anyway.

Yeah it does suck that there isnt a midnight cuz id love to have it so that i can play it all night and dont have to "attempt" to sleep just so i can wake up at like 9am and be up there when they open. It seems that the only times ive gone to midnights are for shooters of some time either third or first ... ive never gone for an RPG that i can think of atm =(

Meh, I'm already pre-loaded on Steam, so I guess i don't have the same problem :) Course, I never have time to play these things until the weekend anyway, so you'll all probably still beat me to it.

I work at GS, and I can tell you that there is no midnight release because they already have a huge release party planned for MW2, which is just a week later. They didn't want to do two midnight parties so close together, and MW is the bigger game in terms of mainstream appeal (and most likely sales).

Abso-freaking-lutely furious. I mean come on. Why is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 getting one but one of the most waited for games of the decade NOT getting a midnight release?

I don'tknow about Gamestop, but I am going to play the Devil's advocate and say in their defense, they may have thought that DA:O is not going to get millions of sales in two weeks to justify a midnight opening. Only games like MW2, L4D2 or Assassin's Creed 2 deserve a midnight opening.


Brutal Legend had a midnight opening.

dragon age origins is the culmination of devoted work by a large number of people. games like these are rarely seen. it puts MW2 to shame as far as depth and pure man hours that have gone into it. so, if it doesnt at least sell a mill right off the bat, then sure, maybe we shouldnt have had a midnighter. but to call it "just another game" is ignorant. (i promise i dont mean that in a sarcastic or mean manner)



dragon age is like our generations lord of the rings, or conan stories. it has the political intrigue as well as thick mythology and lore. and it will be here for a long time. MW2 is another pretty shooter.

but dragon age, is dragon age...

Wow. Talk about hype; your ascending this game into legend before you've even played it.

No, I;m not mad. Gamestop doesn;t have the CE anyway.



IF you truly are mad, I;d suggest you sit back and rethink the matter. A game is a form of entertainment. There is no reason why you should be angry about having to wait until 9am to pick it up.

Brutal Legend only had a midnight opening because it came out on the same day as Uncharted 2. Believe me, I love the game, I even bought it instead of U2, but if it was another day there was no way I would've had a midnight party.
