It has been years since I stayed up to play a game at launch.

Maybe not since Skyrim. This waiting is insufferable.

maybe you would find it more appealing to sleep now and wake up in 11 hours ready to do a full game session rather than being tired by time its released

do we know the exact time of launch today? as i haven't heard anything specific.

[Sceptenar]

Release time is 10 AM PDT, which translates to 19:00 CET in my case.

[Casper]

thanx... just about 10 hours to go then. the wait just might kill me.

I preloaded last night. Unlocks around 10pm here in the UK. Taken tomorrow off work to play, haven't done that for a game in years.

 

EDIT - Holy Crap! 6pm! Awesome news.

Assuming its a world wide release at 10am pdt, then here in melbourne aus it will be 3am here sad panda... won't be able to play till the kids are in bed tomorrow night 7pm... oh well...

If you want to really suffer the wait and have bought the game on GOG, you're getting a timer that counts down the remaining hours, minutes and seconds. Watching it crawl down is true agony!

Well the Aussies definitely have it the worst. I recall being really excited for Fallout 4 and that one unlocked at 3am in Germany, too. I had to work that day, too and by the time I had to go at 7am, I had not slept and had been sitting in front of a screen for ten hours straight. I got to work, stayed for an hour, got sick, and went home being sick for two days. I still played a lot though. :D

 

So I am rather content with 7pm, which gives me a couple of hours until I go to bed and the rest of the week is off anyway, so I have time.

 

I wish everybody else though a pleasant time with this game and sincerely hope that you do not overdo it. :D

I've previously gone to sleep at 11pm, woken up at 3-4am, started the download, gone to sleep again til 6-7am, woke up and had breakfast/got ready for work while I was playing the first part of the game. Went to work fine, came back home and played for like 6-8 hours straight. Then was a bit tired the next day at work
