DAMN RIGHT!!
Dude, you don't understand....when I heard this game announced officially 3 years ago, I've been waiting since.
3 years of waiting bro....I'm dying to sit down and have a 12 hour run...scratch that. I'm dying to have a run until my eyes hurt and I can't stay away any longer.
2 days for that.
I'm gunna be at the store for exactly 11am (time the store opens), I'll be home by 11:30am and then the run will begin. I suspect a good 18 hour run will be the case. Sleep for 5 hours and then play again. I wanna take FULL advantage of the 2 days I booked off 
I booked wednesday and thursday off and I'm considering taking Friday off. I'm 3 weeks ahead of schedule at work so it won't be a problem...wait...gunna call the boss (the owner and my friend) now.........YES! Friday off as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!
So I gots Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and the weekend to play the proverbial shit outta this game!
NICE!!!
Now I'm 10x excited
And yes, like a fat kid...but a fat kid in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory (candy store is no comparison lol).

Well, the manual part is good.
But the rest is useless. But i would study the manual like I was studying for an exam until I can activate and play it. |

But maybe the activation can be bypassed like FEAR2 and DOW2, and thus played before the activation date.
And, cue Boundle.......
Still no release?

That would be awesome cause then we'd get a release in the next day or 2 or 3 at most
Lets just hope we see a release by Friday or at the MAX, Saturday. |

You know Syco - hyping yourself up for a game isn't really a good idea - if anything, it leads to disappointment.
Granted, I've failed to follow my own philosophy on this title and can't fucking wait. However, unlike most of you that have cleared your schedules, as luck would have it, I start fucking work on Wednesday
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Kind of fun, I actually dreamed that I was checking nforce and someone posted parts of an nfo in this thread and everyone was like "Woot! Early release!" but then it was just someone pasting the wrong games nfo (like someone did with Endwar earlier in the thread) and I got so pissed off in the dream that i woke up..

You are better off buying a high efficency high quality 600w power unit, than a cheap low quality 750w one :/
I'll never make the mistake of buying cheaper but "moar powar!" ever again after a low quality one almost fried my entire computer.

You are set then. Just select the brand you like the most for cpu manufacturer. For me, i stick with Intel when using a nvidia card. It seems to work the best in my opinion but really there isn't much difference.

Is this game any fun if you skip participating in the battles? If you were to play it as more of a 4x turn based games and just auto-resolved the battles from the map?
The previous TW games were kind of simplistic if played this way. How is this one?

No it is no fun to play it that way I would assume, since the main feature of this game are the battles...
It's like asking if it is fun to drive a ferrari if you only drive backwards in a straight line...

More like "Is it fun to drive a Ferrari if I never drive it?".

I can imagine scenarios where that could be fun.

I don't know if it's changed since I last looked but that encryption stuff via Steam has been available for a while now, all that is needed is the packed files themselves. Smile

Thats how you theoretically get an english installation, then you also need the loader.exe from the fear2 release.
And place a steam_appid.txt containing the appid number only "10500", I think, in the game folder "etw". |
