why do i keep coming back here and teasing myself... reading posts about review copies people have already received and its only going to get worse, when stories of people finding broken street date versions in mum n pop stores, or deliveries being delivered early...

 

i just drive myself mad and i NEVER end up getting a bioware game (bioware is my fave games all time, hands down, bar none, excruciatingly so) early, but i still work myself up over it, lol...

 

the worst was when Mass Effect came out, it was VERY similar to DAI insofar as it seemed to be gold for a LONG time and copies were in stories like weeks early.

 

so i actually went looking in TWO DIFFERENT STATES for a copy of ME1 on any shelf in many different stores. it was my mum and my gal looking with me in PA, no luck all day, then on the way back home to ohio we decided to hit up a kmart i had no faith at this point, even though the street date had been broken and many were already playing it.

 

LO AND BEHOLD THERE WAS A COPY OF ME1 on the shelf and i about had an aneurysm, i was shaking, i was spazzing so much.... and YES i'm an "adult", don't bother asking, but notice the quotes, i'm a full blown man child, 1 step away from mommies basement... or one flew over the circles nest...

 

so anyways there's two younger guys working 2 isles over and i barely mumble "i'd like to get a game out of the glass case to purchase please..." the guy seemed nice and walks over with the keys and then the other guy follows, oh god why did he follow...

 

"what game would you like?" said the nice young man.

again i trembled and barely quiffed the words from my mouth, "mass effect please"...

 

the other guy that had followed, like a drunk and stumbling elephant with an elephant sized digital **** block said, "oh mass effect is out already?????"

 

my taint quivered, and i wryly spoke, "yeah?"...

 

and then the first guy said, "oh is it not supposed to be for sale yet?"

and the other spoke the words that slayed me like a teenage girl at a beetles concert, "i don't think so".

 

so we take the game up to the counter, and, already boring, long story shorter-ish, wound up not being able to buy the game.

 

how absurd. it was on the shelf!!!! that was the closest i ever came to buying one of my all time fave games early. and man those extra days waiting were rough. i just feel this way about every bioware game though. i've always been an RPG fan, and with the mix of biowares character and story driven RPG nature, its a perfect combo for me.

 

so, yeah, wee, 11 more days........................

[Tevinter Soldier]

13 more for me and i never get broken street dates

[Ogillardetta]

We should get it the 20th here in sweden but it seems every store has the 21th as release date..

That story is heartbreaking...

How do I set that up? I tried to read about it but it seems sketchy

[Blackout62]

Oh my. So they make these lovely things called Rescue Pastilles to alleviate severe yet not medically extreme states like what you describe. Anyway I completely understand your frustrations in the latter end of this wait as I myself have perhaps put too much of myself into a holding pattern till the game's release. Hopefully it's good enough to earn both our distresses.

A thread here or elsewhere will pop up about when it's time.

if you use chrome just download hola extension set your country to US and it will think your in the states thus you can download the US version. which is released on the 18th. 

 

yes it's sketchy, I do it all the time with Digital books because there's no way I'm paying $23 for a $10 book from the same overseas company that doesn't pay our taxes anyway. #amazonrant.

14 days for me hoe check your privilege.

im swedish too, it worked with titanfall on origins as well, its not sketchy it works. It most likely will with DA, if you use a korean vpn you can unlock it at the earliest 17th at 16.00, they also let the koreans preload on the 14th, The only problem is that preloading the game with a vpn will take a million years because the download can be pretty slow, at most i got like 150kb/s from a vpn, it varies from vpn to vpn, but its pretty easy to switch between them and try various ones. On the other hand, we swedes get to preload at 17th 18.00. which means that you can preload then, and switch over to korean to unlock the game. The only difference is you lose out on a couple of hours of play.

this on the other hand is not ok. Ea does not mind if you use a vpn to unlock a game early, but you will get banned if you switch to a vpn in a country that lets you buy a game cheaper, just a heads up for anyone thinking of attempting this. 

 

PS, its not cool either, Bioware, and other devs bust their ass off to make the games, they deserve to be compensated, of course we could argue that its unfair that some countries have to pay more,

Thats really clever I think I'll do this. Thanks for the tips!

[SpecH82]

Discshop says 20 of November in Sweden as does Webhallen and ginza and Origin and Media Markt! So I don't know where read or saw 21 of November as the release date in Sweden!

Yeah Download it first, then use the VPN to unlock

Game.se has digital deluxe and releases the 21th, mediamarkt releases at 20th sure but they don't have digital deluxe. Psn has their date set at 21th too but I'll cancel that and order it for my pc instead.

Yep exactly. Except preload starts at 6:00 CET in most of Europe, not 18:00 CET.

 

Preload the game on the 17th at 6:00 CET, wait a few hours, then unlock it at 16:00 CET using a Korean VPN.

[Ogillardetta]

Okay last question about vpn, after I unlock it can I change back to my own and still be able to play?

there is just one itsy bitsy problem with this, hola only works on web browsers, and you need the origin program to be able to this, so you have to get a vpn program.

[Scerene]

of course ^^ you only need the vpn to unlock it

[dlux]

Yep. You only need the VPN to unlock the game, you won't need it anymore after that.

on my origin it says, 17th 18.00, darn where you from? so lucky!! haha its no biggie tho, only a few hours.

[Ogillardetta]

Then what would you recommend using to make it work with orgins?
