15 minutes here in the U.S.
I didn't get a new email about it.Check your email from the original order confirmation. Should have a download link. Earlier today the key wasn't there but now it was. I ordered months ago too.
Yeah me too. A little disappointed only 1 of them is a new type of alien. Would've appreciated more.
In the USA and preordered and got my key instantaneously tonight.
I was watching a stream on a snow world and it made my jaw drop it was so pretty. For the most part, I don't think it is going to disappoint me in the visual department based on what I am seeing.

I'm playing on hardcore and
one-shot the fiend. There are a bunch of explosive canisters in the back of a truck near the building where you release the fiend. I used Pull and Throw to grab a cluster of them and slam them in the fiends face. As for the kett, I have no specific advice. I just ran around in a panic, picking them off when I could.

Do SSDs really help *that* much with games?

is anyone else going to try to remake their shepard from the original mass effect?
I don't know. I am just going to mess around and try to make something I am happy with.

Yeah if you're like me and suck at character creators, that thread is great. Someone had a great femryder that i copied and made a few tiny changes to.
I've been on a blackout, but did see one or two screens from the snow world, and people seem to say that world is incredible from a visual point of view, definitely looking forward to that.

When you load that save, would you be at the same spot?
Additionally, I am afraid that since that is basically circumventing over something that is not possible in the first place, it might make the game even more unstable.
Really, once you know which preset is being used for a character it won't be difficult at all to recreate that character since you can barely change the presets as it is anyways.

In my opinion, they certainly do. I don't regret dropping the cash on a 1TB SSD for my Pro.
That is some new wallpaper material thank you sir.

Man the Kett outpost mission on
is some grade A garbage, I like the game but I wasted so much time because of the awful save system and then getting oneshot from full health and shields by the
because I dared go in melee range.
And would the game sensibly ley me try it again no I had to go through the tedious shit beforehand again.
I ended up cheesing one of the stages because opponents would literally spawn right before you out of the nether, which meant I could take a route skipping all those points and for the tedious part I switched difficulty to narrative up till the moment I got oneshot then back to harcore. I don't give a damn about achievements thankfully.
It's sad actually because it could have been a great mission if it just let you save or autosaved at better intervals and fixed the spawn points.

Starting it up on PS4. Will play 60-90 minutes and sacrifice a little sleep. Expectations in check after reviews so hoping I enjoy it.

The update is barely going on XB1, despite my insane download speed. Must be the rush or the huge issues XBL is having tonight.

Wait, what if I use the default name but not the default appearance? Will everyone call my character Scott/Sara?

I only had to download 14% of the update before it let me play.
It's stuck in the queue for me. Won't even update.
edit: hard reset shook it loose

Have fun you guys.
I'm off to bed, put about 3-4 hours on the clock. I loved my time with it.

Does anyone in game calls the Ryder twins by their first name?
I want to keep the default but change the first name.

Yup. Using default Sarah. Normally I like to customize but the editor is so restricted I couldn't make anything I liked.

I don't usually use VPN but it was easy enough and what do you know, I can play.
What an incredible mixed bag. The game is quite polished in a lot of ways, stylish even. Gorgeous to look at and controls well.
But the facial animations are indeed a constant distraction, with eyes darting all over the place and mouths moving strangely.
And the quality of the writing is really worse than I could even have imagined in some cases. You have an epic plot and a fairly, sophisticated sci-fi scenario, and the script has the characters just dropping lame one liners after the other. The whole first mission on the first planet, Liam and the player character were just trying to one up each other with who could say the dumbest thing next. It's totally bonkers. Like a bad sitcom. And it couldn't be more at odds with the plot and the setting. It would be weird in any game, but Mass Effect? Makes no sense.
And yet the game can be good in spite of its best efforts to spoil itself.
