"release" on 30th is a joke - also: no pre-load

[G|stgm]

so they blaster "coming to pc january 30" everywhere, but the actual release is either 4 or 5 pm but probably the worst offender is that there's no pre-load, so i guess a lot of people won't even be able to play on launch day.

thanks steam/sony!

how about you thank your ISP for not given you faster download.

Like 80% of games on Steam releases around the same time. Are you new here? I swear, in almost every Steam discussion on any game someone complains about this like they see it for the first time.

how about just releasing it on 30th jan 0:00, so by the time everybody's up they'll be ready to play, no matter how fast your isp is?

it's funny you point out that there're a lot of people criticizing something, and the only respone you can come up with is, "why is there another person criticizing the same thing?" -- like .. maybe there's a valid point for the criticism in the first place?

your topic is a joke. and the game will be out soon, and preloading is not needed. game without drm

i know it'll be out "soon", never claimed it won't.

I never said its a good thing, but the amount of people asking this while its a norm form Steam release for like 10 years is ridiculous and even more when the people asking that has 100+ games and somehow never encountered it before.

That being said, its up to developers. they can set midnight release if they want but the default is just 4-5pm or something.

i know how time zones work. counter-questions: do the devs/publisher know that time zones outside of their own exist? bc right now they releasing the game around the globe at an arbitrarily chosen time. some regions like asutralia and japan won't even have a release on jan 30, despite being promoted for that day.

00:00 where? Where you live?

Because if it was 00:00 for each region, you know what your thread would be, right? "Release on 30th is a joke. New Zealanders are already playing: unfair! We demand a worldwide standard"

Just buy 1gb internet and you don't need a preload, lol. Your whole post is just whining that YOU won't be able to play at launch.

Steams prelod sucks anyways. For most downloading the game after release is faster

One more time, publisher knows that, 17:00 for us is standard when it comes to launching games.
You know what will happens when EVERYONE will start download games in same time, severs will be overwhelmed and you will be downloading like 1 MB/s.

Learn to live with that, you are not main character sometimes and your points are bad points.
Yes its bummer to not have preload, but you writing about something what is not issue and its launching at 17:00.

no, you're wrong. it's about waiting 16 hours (or 17?) before actually being able to purchase a game. if the publisher say "jan 30" i expect it to be available from jan 30 0:00. they could've given more specific time windows for release, but they didn't.
