Oh shit unlocking!

 

[Pepboy]

To be fair, that boss took so many hits it was unclear if it was one of those "invincible enemies that require you to hit a switch before vulnerable" prominent in other games. In that sense, knowing it was killable was kind of a protip.

 

[Exuro]

Yeahhhhh lets do this!

 

[rodvik]

It literally just unlocked.

Alright! I am off! Thanks!

 

[Lombax]

It is happening!!!!!!!!

 

[Oppo]

we are now at that part where much like the way gigantic city-destroying bombs are portrayed in animation, there will be a flash and a deafening hush, a moment of tranquil reflection on the import of the moment just before the roar hits you and everyone rushes back into the thread and it all goes crazy

i like this part

 

[Soi-Fong]

Mines's still downloading since I just literally pre-purchased 30 min ago. haha

 

[a secret-boss]

this is taking awhile

 

[tborsje]

Gogo Spotflux!

 

[Lombax]

anyone else patching?

 

[Remmy2112]

Sectoids here I come!

 

[Ceebs]

this is taking awhile

It was a 13 gig download

*Plus however long it takes to move to my SSD

 

[RossCo]

I will not let your ever increasing countdown damp my enthusiasm Mr Steam.....

 

[Achamian]

Gogo Spotflux!

Working for me!

 

[hitmon]

WTF!!!?? I have to wait some more? Is this normal?

 

[sk3tch]

FYI you can get your key on Amazon now. GO GO GO.

 

[golem]

Gogogo!

 

[inky]

tap tap tap...

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

LOADING.

All systems standing by.

 

[Keikaku]

What the hell is this "Updating XCOM: Enemy Unknown" bullshit?

I preloaded! I shouldn't have to suffer like some common peon >:|

 

[Unknown Soldier]

THE XCOM PROJECT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED

Mine's still unpacking though.

 

[Desaan]

Decrypting! Takes so long! HHNGGGGG....

 

[Protein]

HNNNGGG

[zchen]

downloading now~

 

[Oppo]

geez this is like a PS3 install. so slow.

still decrypting..

I will say, my first two Steam pre-purchases (this and Torchlight 2) did not exactly live up to the idea of "play immediately upon release". both times there's been other long step.

 

[Rentahamster]

Is it automatic?

edit: nvm there we go.

 

[MrCompletely]

why is my launch timer counting up!!

 

[Arde5643]

This morning I woke up with a fever and major discomfort in my groin and right side. I'm pretty sure I passed a stone and it hurts so much to sit upright right now. I've been battling a fever for the entire day and only now it appears to have broken. I also have been in tremendous pain when passing urine and there's a little blood in it.........

But.. I.. will.. play... XCOM... when...it...unlocks.....

doctorcdcs is critically wounded.

Spoiler

but seriously, get better dude - don't force yourself if it hurts too much.

 

[Alexios]

Says it unlocks on the 12th for me

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Loading LOADINGU~

This unpacking sure is slow.

 

[matt05891]

I'm having serious first world problems here.

 

[Carm]

Game is acting like Dota 2, thrashing the shit out of my hd non stop the past 7 minutes, haven't even hit the play button.

 

[calder]

Had to watch A-Rod flail away uselessly to end the game, but pretty good timing.

Ugh, Steam taking forever to 'update platform'. Seems to do that most times I open it now, is that normal?

 

[Achamian]

well this is taking a while!

 

[GhostRidah]

This is normal guys, it always takes a bit to decrypt/unpack

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

WHY ARE THINGS HARD?

 

[Rentahamster]

"corrupt game files"

wtf?

 

[notsol337]

Unpacking makes me sad. SO SAD. I kinda wish they would let games unpack, but let the DRM block it from launching.

 

[Xarudace]

I ordered the 360 on Amazon at 5:00 today. Two day shipping says it won't get here until Friday. Disappointing. Did all of Amazon's stock get delayed? I see a bunch of posts on Amazon's "forums" which seem to imply people who preordered it are definitely not getting it tomorrow as promised.

 

[Ceebs]

New CPU benchmarks should include Steam unpack speed

 

[SuperSonic1305]

It says unpacking but there is no progress bar or %. HOW DO I KNOW IT'S NOT FROZEN?!

 

[fin]

"corrupt game files"

wtf?

Me too!!

edit: restart steam another 8.9mb update

 

[SuperLurker]

This HDD is seriously chugging, I should've installed on my SSD.

 

[doctorcdcs]

Yeah, i'm probably going to play it for a bit and then collapse on the bed soon after. I've ignored almost all of the gameplay trailers (except the initial trailer) and i've not read any reviews for fear of spoiling it. I need to play this... and as i typed this it JUST FINISHED UNPACKING I GO NOW


edit: ARGH DIRECTX INSTALL

 

[Arde5643]

"corrupt game files"

wtf?

That's X-Com.

Spoiler

Sorry, Rentahamster - truly, truly sorry. That sucks, man.

 

[eznark]

WHAT THE FUCK IS CORRUPT GAME FILES

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm just playing with the settings and this main menu music is fucking awesome.

 

[Sephon]

1 hour and 40 minute before work... This will not end well!

 

[Oppo]

WHAT THE FUCK IS CORRUPT GAME FILES

ruh roh. noticing a trend.
mine's still "unpacking"... the feedback on Steam is not great for this, you can barely tell anything is happening

 

[sk3tch]

C'mon guys - this is why you have a 6 core CPU and an SSD! 10 minutes less time to wait for your game to unlock on Steam...
