22 hours. Generally Ubisoft games don't come out at midnight on steam. Usually around 1pm eastern when Steam updates.

Thanks
That's something you have to toggle? I assumed it would be controlled by lighter analog input. Our do you mean the PC version?

Yeah, sorry meant that on the stick. I remember watching someone play the original SC and the prompt to adjust movement speeds was there, but after watching the first 2 missions/2-3hours or so I haven't noticed any tutorial prompt to let people know, hey you're walking too fast!

Yes. I suggest grabbing the Mark of the Ninja DLC or the Dishonored DLC to get a stealth fix till the game is released tomorrow. Both are awesome.

It'd be a good idea considering it was in the top 70 in the sales list last time I looked.
I think it went way up since then though. Not sure where it is now though.
I just hope we're not looking at a SOCOM 4 situation here where their attempts to attract the mainstream audience actually kills the series in the end...lol.
I wish Paypal would process my check quicker since I still need to pay for my copy on Ebay. So glad I found a buy it now under $25.00. It was amazing how many assholes were trying to sneak shipping charges in there too. One was buy it now for $29.99 but shipping was $38.00 which didn't show up on the search page and of course he admitted that he would email the code but that there'd be no refunds for those stupid enough to fall for the trap. My friend and I spotted quite a few like that which is quite sad.
It's actually sitting at #11 in NA Steam's top sellers list. Too bad all the hype will die after finding out you have to wait til 1PM and 25 gigs later.
But they had the luck of good early reviews. I'm not to worried about The Bureau because it was up in the top 5 for quite a while.

When does amazon email pre order codes? Dat chaos theory suit is important to me.

There isn't a legitimate reason they got rid of him. I assumed he was done with it.

sorry if this is retreading old ground, but is it possible to play this game without killing people?

It sounds like you have to kill when you're forced to briefly play other characters.
I think the situations are kind of mini-game-esque to break monotony.

I thought it was because Ironside couldn't do motion-capture.

Ironside was done with the series. He wasn't interested in doing another voice for Sam because he thought Sam's story was finished with Conviction.

That doesn't really explain it. Other languages will still be dubbed over the performance. If I'm not mistaken, that's how they mo-capped Cortana in Halo 4. The physical actor was dubbed over by Jennifer hale.
Ironside was leaving because he didn't like the way they were taking Sam's story. He nearly left before Conviction, but some script changes brought him back. Ironside's Sam is done, and not just because UBI got greedy and wanted someone younger. This wasn't them denying Ironside.
I wish they just made a series refresh in terms of the main character if they needed a full mo-cap actor. Why not focus on a new young agent while Sam voiced by Ironside is the new Lambert except with his own personality still in tact? I mean, they changed everything else in the series but they're afraid to move on so they instead make their character magically grow YOUNGER? To me, that just creates a bigger disconnect than if they started with a new character while still having Sam as a presence in the game.
Then again, I guess we can all sit here and say we'd do a lot of things differently.
It just doesn't make sense to do what they did from a story perspective. I mean, soon, Sam's daughter will be older than he is.Edit: If Ironside left due to the story's direction, then I oddly have even more respect for him than I did before. I just wish he could become the new Lambert instead of stupidly having the head of a secret organization as a field agent in a very risky environment. That's like seeing Generals out on the frontlines of the battlefield. It just doesn't happen anymore.
It truly is one of my major pet peeves with a game since every other series makes damn sure to keep the character's progression in tact regardless of where the story goes. We didn't see Max Payne get any younger just so he can do more moves did we?
Yeah I kinda gave up when they went "Batman prequel" with Origins and then he has the moves and stuff he 'learned' in City.

Reboots are some of the worst things ever. Just pure marketing driven do-overs with no end. It drains the soul out of everything.
To this day I think the proper punishment for whoever stuck the bug of "reboots" into the collective consciousness of hollywood and entertainment execs everywhere lately deserves to be brought back from the dead as a mute but mindful shambling zombie slave and forced to lumber about for our sick amusement before being repeatedly killed and brought back to life yet again, and again and again, and again and again, and again and again, until the very final lights in our universe are extinguished.

Put those images in quotes.
Seems like they're doing that "We needed some d-bag in a motion capture suit" nonsense again. They just pulled this on something else...what the hell was it?
Edit: Oh right! Metal Gear.

lol I was trying to show that the Wii U version got pre-order DLC!

They can, but it defeats the purpose of the "seamless conversation" thing if someone completely different would later go back and dub over the mo-cap actor's voice. That and I believe facial-capture was done alongside motion-capture, so I believe it had to be the same actor in this case.

Isn't that how they did TLOU? Because those results were fantastic.

Anyone know where to get the Steam version at a discount possibly? I see some codes on eBay for $30, but that's for UPlay.
