This ma and pa store I went to was already selling them 11 hours early

Sweet.  Is that a console version or did it activate on Uplay (I'm assuming the PC version requires Uplay)?

I can't get me to continue with the game. The controls are so blurry and bleh... it's just not fun.

Yeah, I noticed the pirate version is out too.

I imagine those kids either get kidnapped or killed.  At least, that's standard vengeful protagonist backstory.

 

Edit:  I won't be able to play my copy until tomorrow, or late night tonight (I took tomorrow off, so I can stay up if I want).  My copy is just a slip of paper that came with my video card with a code on it.  I redeemed it and Uplay will activate the game when it officially releases.  I wish it would at least let me pre-load the game so I won't have to wait an hour or two while it downloads tonight/tomorrow.  All good, I'll just play Gothic 3 and Sleeping Dogs until then.

Colour me surprised with those pictures. Never thought Aiden would be the type at the head of a wholesome American nuclear family in a suburban two-story house with a nice hardwood floor. 

 

I can picture him having dinner - 

 

Aiden's Wife: "Honey, you're wearing that shady outfit. Are you dispensing vigilante justice again? You promised me you'd leave that and settle down."

 

Aiden: *Distressed look on his face, voice cracks*...No."

 

Aiden's Wife: "Awww... I knew I could trust you. *plants a kiss on Aiden's cheek* Muah."

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

I'm thinking the All American June Cleaver-esque wife winds up getting "killed" which sends Aiden down a path of revenge which leads him into a much deeper conspiracy way over his head.  Near the end it's revealed that June Cleaver didn't get killed at all, in fact she's the main villain of the story and has been manipulating Aiden all along for sinister reasons that don't really make any sense at all, but it's all good because SHOCKING PLOT TWIST!

Of course, according to news reports the pirate version has been loaded with bitminer software and a bunch of other malware and zombie-network making paraphernalia.

Does that count as some form of irony?

I finally did it!!! :w00t:

 

There is this holy grail of achievements in Company of Heroes 2, at least after a certain patch in September last year. It's in a theatre of war pack called Case Blue. As the Germans in this scenario, your mission is to defeat an absurdly large force of Soviet partisans that call in tanks, flamethrower infantry and machine gun trucks. And you, well, have nothing at the beginning but an engineer and some basic resources. For each patch, this mission has stacked this mission in the favour so extremely that being wiped out after 15-20 minutes is a given. And you will get overrun and won't even be near a victory. I've been trying my hand at this scenario for months this year. My total matches and losses stacked up to 20, when I now, today, finally scraped up a very close victory. The huge rush of adrenaline and the huge joy of finally beating this mission (and this is Conscript level, mind you - Captain and General levels are basically impossible since Sep 2013) is greater than great!! It's well up there when games used to be really difficult, and I still was young and elated over beating a game after like half a year or a year of hard trying and lots of failed attempts and regrouping and new tactics devised.

Just wow!! :aiee:

Here's my shiny and most well-deserved medal! For once, an achievement was indeed an achievement.

As you can see, you need to be much better than the AI to even stand a chance in this mission.

Still, one faulty move on my behalf - just one - and the Ai would have snatched the victory from my hands yet again.

Look hard at this screen, coz there ain't many people that have seen what lies beyond the victory screen here! :rolleyes:

Sorry...

 

And I saw a weird typo in my text. It should read  "For each patch, this mission has stacked this scenario in the favour of the AI so extremely that being wiped out after 15-20 minutes is a given".

Hmm she looks a lot like a character that was introduced in Walking Dead.. The silent survivor girl. Also a bit of psychopat.
