1. download and install tunnelbear from here: http://www.tunnelbear.com/

2. shut down steam or origin

3. start the vpn and choose US

4. open steam and it should unlock the game allowing you to play

5. switch to offline mode and stay offline until after release in your area - also shut down vpn now

Lol

 

[DieH@rd]

How long until the NA Steam release unlocks?

14 and a half hours.
Midnight EST, 5AM GMT, 6AM CET.

 

[DieH@rd]

15hrs

5. switch to offline mode and stay offline until after release in your area - also shut down vpn now (for origin you can come back online as it doesnt check again)

Can we run and shutdown game while steam is in offline mode? I never examined how games behave when steam doesn't have access to the web.

 

[iNvid02]

tunnelbear is great, really easy US/UK VPN and its free for 1GB data/month

cyberghostvpn is probably the best one i've tried, although you need to pay to access all of the servers etc

depends on the game, although most should let you play just fine

FUUUU

 

[tjohn86]

Just release dammit!

 

[luffeN]

^^^ tempting!

 

[FtHTiny]

I will wait out until the 17. Have to work anyway so it should be not to big of a deal.

Yep, although not 100% about first time setups.

Only coming on the 20th here. Only resorting to the VPN trick on Friday.

 

[iNvid02]

yeah let it do the first time setup run while steam is online and you're using the vpn, after the game has successfully launched once back out and switch to offline / shut down vpn.

 

[DieH@rd]

I've borrowed from my friend "Hide My Ass!" user/pass, so I will use that to activate and start playing DS2 tomorrow.

 

[Mango Positive]

I'm not getting any sleep tonight. I wish I had taken tomorrow off.

 

[BY2K]

Have to wait until tomorrow night to get my copy. I'm gonna be last to start playing at this point.

 

[QisTopTier]

Aww man

 

[EYEL1NER]

I can't wait to play this. I will be picking up a copy on Wednesday but I won't be able to play it for a couple days. I'll be picking it up on my way to the airport to leave the country. I'm taking my Xbox with me but after the flights I am going to be pretty jet lagged.
I think what I'll do is get to Greenland early Thursday morning, stay up all day playing this, and then go to sleep that night and start work the next day.
I should be able to put time into it at least on Sunday since I think I will have Sundays off.

 

[Momentary]

I'm guessing THQshop isn't going to e-mail the keys early? Has anyone gotten a key from them yet?

 

[Kickass667]

When are digital river/thq sending out the CD keys?

do they usually release them at midnight? or a couple hours earlier?

 

[daedalius]

Going to call Best Buy later and see if I can pick up my collectors edition at midnight, although I doubt it.

 

[DieH@rd]

Have to wait until tomorrow night to get my copy. I'm gonna be last to start playing at this point.

And I'll be playing in offline mode, so no item sharing for me. :-/ Oh well...

 

[Callibretto]

can someone tell me if the artbook from the collector's edition is the same with this one sold separately on amazon?

Steam stopped playing nice with TunnelBear some time ago.

 

[TheDarkStark]

How long is the first Darksiders?

I started it last week, I have about 8 hours in so far, I don't want to rush because I'm thoroughly enjoying it, but I also want to get to DS2 so I can talk about it/play it while it's still new and relevant.

No, the one in the CE is just a small part of the full artbook. Someone on the Darksiders 2 Forum mentioned that there is even an advertisement for the full artbook in the CE artbook.

It took me about 18 hours to finish.

Finally got a shipping confirmation.

Is there any worry about Weapon Duping or Weapon Hacking and selling?

The game doesn't have an online component.

Edit: My Google-Fu sucks.

 

[BY2K]

The game doesn't have an online component.

Yes it does. You can trade weapons and armors.

Oh, my mistake. I GS'd before posting and didn't see mention of that.

Yep, this what I've used the past http://anonymitynetwork.com/

Its only a 3 hour trial but it does the job.

 

[tragic]

IGN livestream at 10:00 am pst. I'll be driving. See you there!

 

[mjc]

I'm in the same boat brother.

 

[Gbraga]

Nice! Looking forward to the livestream.

 

[QisTopTier]

Wow I totally thought it was 8pm right now and there was only an hour left.... DREAMS SHATTERED

My head is currently full of fuck.

Hey crackheads, can't wait like the rest of us for your fix? Shit is hilarious what people will do just to play a game a couple days early.

 

[Square Triangle]

Collecting souls for this weapon on the iOS app is going to take longer than I thought.

I have to imagine the code is a generic one that is the same for everybody.

there is no reason to delay it by a week, and in 2 minutes you can be playing like the rest of the world

i dont see a problem

AN worked just fine for me back when DE:HR released, but as I later discovered, trials are limited to one per IP, which is unfortunate for people like myself who have a static IP address*.

* Well, my ISP will oblige IP change requests... for $10.
