I should never have pre-loaded it. Most antagonizing experience ever... It just sits there on my harddrive. Mocking me... I can hear it laugh

Muhahaha... The big bad EA wolf loves to hate their fan base... look how we do region specific release dates and we liiiike it

Pre-load complete; unreleased
This game will unlock in approximately 4 days and 9 hours

I even have work ready on the other comp I should finish up - but my attention keeps drifting to the 16,488,528,286 bytes of encrypted files here on the PC.

I hate you... I hate you all :unsure:

Well if you have access to a US based VPN or similar you can always trick Steam into thinking your in America and decrypt the game that way. The only thing then is you'll have to stay in 'offline mode' afterwards until Friday otherwise it will re-encrypt.

Hypothetically speaking - would it work if I used a US based DNS server?

i have an essay due tomorrow, my internet is slow enough for the pre-load to take 18 hours, but ive done just 1000 words of 3000, spent the rest of the time on the forums here, or just reading about the game in general

I have a midterm and an essay due tomorrow so I feel your pain.

Too bad we're not in Japan, they probably get a day off for games like this.

Steam encrypts it all. You can look at the files, but not open them. I admit I double-clicked on the .exe, just in case.

It will make the moment when you can finally start up the game all the sweeter. (I keep trying to convince myself)

I wouldnt be surprised if Japan has to wait for DA until next year. We have to wait for jrpg's to come over at least half a year, but the same is also true for the opposite ;).



And it's not that they get the day off. When a new Dragon Quest gets released, a mysterious 1-day pandemic strikes the country :P

You can always delete the local content and start pre-loading again. Gives you something to do. :P

Nah - nothing, not even the manual. You can delete the local cache and pre-load it again if that will make you feel better. =)

My brother is going to collect the game on Wedneday but I wouldn't be home until the 30th of November :o as I'm studying overseas.

I'm sure noone's worse off than me!

Wait...so your game says it'll be released in 4 days? Because here in Australia it is timed with the American release on Steam. I'm not sure if this is because we're lucky or if because Steam isn't clever.

Wow, having this stuff on your harddrive and not being able to play it? Wow, that sure is hell.



It's hard enough to wait until thursday (or friday? I live in Germany) to get my hands on it. I'm going to wait outside of the store in the morning until it opens.

I NEED to get some work done...



...I think BW has secretly injected me with some kind of DA:O addictive drug. I'm sitting on a message board updating on a regular basis. Looking at a counter that counts down to Friday (FRIDAY?!) and being overly hyped over a game.

Yeah I keep on opening my Amazon account and hotmail to check whether my order has been shipped yet.



Seriously if the Royal Mail strike on Friday delays me getting the game I'm going to go postal (see what I did there?!).

It's actually illegal for certain series to have a new release on a work day in Japan.

Dragon Quest is the only one I can think of, off the top of my head.


Edit:I'm just passing the time by playing through Pathologic again.

Atmosphere thicker than mud, I tell ya'

Hi, EU friends. I'll join you in your suffering. Imagine that, having to work instead of playing DA:O! Pure torture.



Argh.
