Bullion Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Exactly what the topic says, if you pre-ordered on Steam , you can pre-load the game and play when someone at Valve feels like it it releases if you're like a coke head on laundry day like I am when a game release comes around. So why are you reading this? *straps all subsequent posters to an uncomfortable wooden chair and shines the bright light on them* Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Reading this because I've pre-ordered on Play.com. As much as I'm anticipating Alpha Protocol, I don't really want to spend 50 bucks on it when I can spend less than a half for a boxed copy that I will play a couple of days later.

Serrano Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 My real issue with downloading it through steam is that my pre-install has finished, I actually possess the game on my computer, but I can't use it for another 34 hours. What would Thorton do in this situation, and how do I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would Thorton do in this situation, and how do I do that? Hacking minigame. You have 60 seconds to get the install playing, but if you fail armed guards burst through your windows and attack you. You might just want to wait for the unlock... My blood!

SteveThaiBinh Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I don't really mind that there are different release dates for different places. I just wish the Steam countdown wouldn't lie to me.

Starwars Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm not at home at the moment but I logged into STEAM and the page for AP says that you can buy now rather than pre-order, and my Games list says I can play it rather than pre-load. Someone should try it. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKofC Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm still stuck in perpetual preload land. :/ I'm in Asia BTW, so this is like a weekend party pooped as this is what got me through work. I even bought all the necessary stuff to not need to leave the room over the weekend and blew off a camping trip with my old classmates. Damn it Valve quit trolling me. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn it Valve quit trolling me. :/ I'm in the Middle East and getting the same screen. Hopefully it will unlock when North America does. Not living there or in Europe or Japan, we're a bit of an afterthought, but at least Steam doesn't automatically block us from buying games (like some other sites do).

Yeah, depends on the publisher I suppose. Well I better go do something productive. And by that I mean something that'll get me sick enough to be convincing when I call in sick or something. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
