Why the fuck is 2K waiting 2k seconds from release to send keys?

Jake Solomon be like "just... one... more... balance change"

 

[King Tubby]

Why the fuck isn't this game out yet and who do I have to kill to get this game out now.

I need it in my veins.

 

[z3phon]

Haven't really been following the games developemtn. All I want is for the game to have a soundtrack as good as the first game.

[darkwing-buck]

Is the reinforcement pack a season pass?

 

[JaseC]

Is the reinforcement pack a season pass?

Yes, hence the high price.

 

[Decado]

Got my preorder in. Normal PC version for 32 bucks off CDKeys.

Damn. $51 CAD at that site. That the cheapest place for Canadians?

 

[Hektor]

2 more days

 

[NumberThree]

I imagine it will be similar to Beyond Earth release.

The official release date for that was the 24th?

Yup.

Is CDKeys a legit site, safe to get the game from there? The prices on that site are great.

yeah, i just got sfv & dragon's dogma for $54

 

[kottila]

they should make a smaller download for us with laptops below the minimum requirement, who are praying it will run decently at 480p

 

[Sblargh]

Hey, 2K.
Pssst.
How about...
a key?

 

[Rewind]

I hope this game either gets sli support or runs ok with a 760.

 

[Gale007]

Awesome! Just picked up a pair for my friend and I, thanks for the heads up.

 

[Machina]

*sigh* 2K!!!!!!!! Hurry the fuck up!

 

[Darkwater]

So is Nuuvem still a place where a Western European can buy stuff? I'd love to get this but money is tight.

 

[Impulsor]

Are there any benchmarks for this?

 

[LemonGremlin]

Is Ironman Classic in XCOM 2 equivalent in difficulty to EU?

Don't buy from Nuuvem unless you're from Brazil.
Someone on another site I visit for deals got it from there (he/she is in the UK) and they can't register the key on their Steam account.

How in the world would anyone know? D:

 

[roadrunn3r]

There is a 95% probability it is equivalent.

 

[LemonGremlin]

How in the world would anyone know? D:

Firaxis are one of the most open developers, hours of interviews / live streaming over the past few months - thought maybe they'd talked about it at some point considering Legend difficulty has been overhauled.

Bummer. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look into alternatives.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Not having a preload or release time is so frustrating, whats up with the complete radio silence regarding this?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I thought keys from Nuuvem weren't being released until launch though?

They said anyone who preordered before January 25th would get a region free key

 

[Falk]

Good point. I guess last I heard difficulty was still being tweaked, even in major ways (see: nerfing beaglerush alpha strikes)

It'd probably be impossible to really gauge till the game goes live, regardless of targets.

There is a 95% probability it is equivalent.

I laughed way harder than I should have.

Fixed. :X

According to the person here, when asked if they bought from Nuuvem, they had this to say:

Yeah I risked it. I got two keys right away and tried to add it to my Steam account. Steam recognised the keys as being "out of region" and not for use in my country. So I'm stuck now as I can't get a reply to my request for a refund.

I just checked Nuuvem and it says on their site:

This game cannot be activated outside Brasil

 

[AHA-Lambda]

According to the person here, when asked if they bought from Nuuvem, they had this to say:

Hmm, will need to see how I get on then, as I ordered it from there ;_;

Technically, no. They don't source their keys from official places.

Don't buy from Nuuvem unless you're from Brazil.

Ironically, Nuuvem is actually legitimate. I'm curious what the use case was here, since they preemptively region lock you out of the store before buying things that don't activate in the region you're in at the time, on top of just having notifications on the game pages themselves saying exactly what activation restrictions are.

 

[B00TE]

Really hoping we get a preload. I want to make Earth great again ASAP.

 

[Sulik2]

I wouldn't do ironman until the first couple of patches are out. Bugs and no save slots are infuriating.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Is Ironman Classic in XCOM 2 equivalent in difficulty to EU?

I know that Beagle says Legend in XCOM 2 is easier than Impossible in XCOM, and TotalBiscuit said that the normal difficulty is a little easier than it was, so... nobody knows.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Yeah RPS also said they thought normal was harder than in EU.

 

[delaneya]

I do want this very much but I feel I should play the other one more first.

2K was supposed to provide ROW keys but had a change of heart and made heavily region-locked BR subs, however those who pre-ordered before late January will be given ROW keys as there were no international purchase restrictions when Nuuvem began accepting pre-orders.

 

[ISee]

Are there any benchmarks for this?

Not yet.
But the Press release version had some bugs, glitches and performance issues, most website are probably waiting for the final and obligatory day one patch. Still I do not expect performance to be brilliant.

 

[MutonCommander]

No preload is a bummer.

 

[Mikeside]

I've got a one off 25% off code for GMG that works on XCOM 2 and the deluxe version

quote to see



please say if you take it so people don't waste their time trying after

I think this is still available if somebody wants a discount for GMG

 

[mbpm1]

It's so we can watch out soldiers bob up and down in their seats on the loading screen

never had a problem, used it for both PC and WiiU/3DS games

make sure you get their 5% off for liking them on facebook

 

[Shake Appeal]

GMG said keys would be sent "later today." Still no word on preload, though.

 

[Calcium]

I'm so happy I made the decision to ignore this game during development. In 2 days I get to dive in knowing very little about it. It's going to be amazing.

 

[Sblargh]

Someone from outside Brasil got the key and can't use it and I'm from Brasil and Nuuvemh haven't sent me my key which I would be able to use it.

There's, like, 5% chance of this happening.

 

[Bloody_Five]

For people interested to pick it up for cheap, you can go to instant gaming.

I'll take it if you still have it.
