This displeases me.

OTs going up on the day of release usually mean the game is bad.

 

[Fiktion]

Digital on Monday.

My origin says 12:00am on the 18th.

Or is that what you meant?

 

[Verger]

I am really trying to decide if I should just jump in at the third game in the trilogy or start from the beginning on the 360. Is there a lot I will miss and not be able to appreciate?

Just chiming in that it seems that DAI takes a lot more plot from DA2 than DAO. The current events of the Inquisition itself owe its origins to what happened in DA2. DAO's plot is pretty simplistic and can be easily summarized.

For DA2 though, I wouldn't recommend playing it. Watch a story/cinematic playthrough on youtube, which is what I'm doing. I can actually see through this playthrough all the negatives of the "game" itself which are the super-repetitive environments and the waves of enemies design of combat.

Lots of us are using a VPN for the South Korean launch-time, which is before that.

where's the gif from?

How many hours in advance does that give you?

 

[Intheflorsh]

How many hours in advance does that give you?

Fourteen!

 

[leazo]

How many hours in advance does that give you?

14 hours plus the fact that I can start playing in the evening instead of it unlocking at 6 am here as it is 4 pm CET for me. Without VPN, would have to wait until the 20th.

 

[DylanTackoor]

Just bought Dragon Age 2 again, this time for PC. Time to see if I can speed through it again in one night.

 

[Fiktion]

Fourteen!

That's actually not bad. I need to look into this.

Spreedrun strats are real.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Well I think I have my Korea vpn setup but when I launch Origin I still get english text on the store page.

Edit: Nvm it works now. Ready to play tomorrow evening now, hopefully.

 

[Fiktion]

If I preloaded without VPN, does the VPN still let me play early?

 

[His Majesty]

Yes.

You have to vpn to unlock and launch the game.

After you launch you can tab out to close the vpn connection and return to the game.

When you close the game and want to play again, you have to re-vpn the unlock and game launch.

The article someone linked about it a while ago said you only need to use the vpn for the initial unlock.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I got a look at the multiplayer today on Twitch and it looked pretty good.

Depends on how Moon is positioned in relation to Origin master servers and what kind underwear EA CEO is wearing that day.

I would say that putting Origin offline after game is unlocked and running is safest bet to prevent need for repeat unlock before official EU release. Assuming you don't want MP experience before release that is.

 

[JehutyRunner]

GAF'er APZonerunner (RPG Site) is streaming the game currently if anyone fancies a quick look. http://www.twitch.tv/apzonerunner

 

[Fiktion]

Wait, all the VPN options I'm seeing are either paid or require a paid server. You can't do this for free?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

You almost had me there...

FlyVPN is free. Click on free trial, download the client and use a login/pass from the right part of the screen.

I use SoftEther VPN, it is 100% and, imo, easy to use.

Ah, ok. Guess I'm not playing MP from the start. Probably for the best, I'll vpn unlock and put it in offline mode until US unlock. Thanks for the clarification.

Tight, thanks.

I took a look at this and got stuck when it asked me to input a server. Are there step by step instructions for idiots anywhere?

 

[DylanTackoor]

Skipped cutscenes and casual difficulty, GO!

 

[Evo X]

Anyone here really looking forward to Sandal showing up? He's one of my favorite Dragon Age characters. I hope I'm not alone on this.

Whipped this up quickly, http://imgur.com/a/byUac

FlyVPN is also solid choice, but very popular and trial account is limited to 3 connections / day so it has its limitations and no much room for messing up with Origin.

Sandal is the Jesus Christ of Dragon Age. Mark my words.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Yeah I started with just SoftEther but used the vpn gate installer instead. I didn't know how to install the vpn gate plugins to softEther.

Very cool, thanks. I'm going to give this another go.

 

[Thrakier]

Am I supposed to play this albeit I never touched a DA game before?

 

[Tovarisc]

Either they have changed something in SoftEther install package over last few days or you have taken some wrong install package. It is one install and gives everything you need.

 

[Last Hearth]

download the VPNgate plugin at http://www.vpngate.net/en/

Enchantment? Enchantment!

Casual difficulty is for casuals.
Go with console and type in "runscript killallhostiles".

 

[greatgeek]

Enchantment? Enchantment!

*slowly nodding* Enchantment.

 

[Effect]

Finally saw some PS3 and 360 footage on youtube. The game scales pretty well. There is this weird hard somewhat plastic like look to some things but it still looks good.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

Spoiler

One day the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see.

 

[Fiktion]

I got to the final step but I keep getting this error whenever I try to connect to a server.

edit: Never mind, found a server that worked.

edit: That one disconnected me after a couple minutes, still have the same problem.

 

[SargerusBR]

So this unlocks in about 13 hours in Korea, right?

 

[Vamphuntr]

The only thing I'm worried about is the performance. It's too bad you can't even run a benchmark before the release. The benchmark thread has me worried a bit.

 

[Tall Paul]

Yeah.....so my 6 hours just ended...ok DAI....you got me...5 days to wait....but you got me!

 

[Wheelatron]

So this unlocks in about 13 hours in Korea, right?

15 hours 40 minutes. 7 am PST, 10 am EST

 

[demigod]

Damn don't know what to get this for, pc or ps4. Leaning heavily towards PS4, my PC has a 970 GTX. What's the cheapest I can get this for PC anyone know?

What

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

My origin says 12:00am on the 18th.

Or is that what you meant?

Mine says 9pm on the 17th and someone else has 9pm tonight.

Assuming American, $44 through Mexican VPN.

Yeah, the GTX 970 is garbage tier bro. Enjoy the definitive next gen experience on your PS4.

 

[Fiktion]

Still getting this error, haven't been able to connect anywhere long enough to launch Origin.

Mine says 9pm on the 17th and someone else has 9pm tonight.

You're probably on the West Coast then.
