Are you sure you're connected? Check the Network tab in the taskbar, there should be 2 connections you're currently connected to if you successfully connected.
I used the same VPN to unlock the game and it worked fine for me.
Other than that, the only other thing I could think of is you had Steam open when doing this, but you already mentioned that you started Steam afterwords, so can't be that.
I also imagine you installed the program correctly, putting the config file where it needs to go, ect... so that's strange if it's not working for you.
I wonder. Was interesting to see an ad for it during Walking Dead last night. Good move to do that the weekend before release.
Discussion isn't just for people that agree on everything. Stifling a valid viewpoint is bad whether that viewpoint is in favor of or against a game.

I was intending on waiting for a sale on this but Amazon sells this for 40 (PS3). Is it worth it? The video review in the OP was kinda negative. I've been reading the thread and many people are talking how amazing the game is. Please sell me on the game
Apparently it's better than Resident Evil 4 and Uncharted 2 combined.
Or something.

Chrono Trigger wishes it was this game. SE will make a Tomb Raider Super HD before FF7 HD.

I've just done it, unlocking it now. Check http://incloak.com/ip/ it should say you're in New Zealand. If not, you've gone wrong somewhere. Make sure you close Steam, run OpenVPN as Admin, make sure it connects to NZ (tray item will have 2 green screens), then load Steam up. It should then update TR and begin unlocking.
Define gangbusters.
Despite the hate from some people here, the game has received almost universal praise and has tons of buzz. It should hopefully do very well.
*Mine just shipped yay!*
Manually log-out then log back into Steam.
The deuce:
gangbusters plural of gang·bust·er (Noun)
Noun
1. A police officer or other person who takes part in breaking up criminal gangs.
2. Very successful, esp. commercially: "the restaurant did a gangbuster business".

Not to mention that Tomb Raider is a much more established brand than Hitman or any of the other recent 'flops'.
(I say 'flops' because I'm not sure how they actually did at retail)
Lara Croft is a household name.

Does anyone know the download size for the PC version? I'm sorry if it's been asked before, I couldn't go back the 72 pages to verify it

Thank you! I think it'll take a while to download it, maybe tomorrow only (20mbps).
Let me rephrase that.
Do you mean gangbusters as in exceeds SquareEnix's projections?
Do you mean over 2M? Over 3M?
Some quantifiable number.
Who do you think I am? Pachter?

Wait..new Starcraft game is coming out this month? Maybe TR will be pushed to #3 then.
Well, its been decided. TR has been pushed to the rental block, picking up Sim City instead. I totally forgot about SimCity but for me personally, I feel that it will be a much more worthwhile investment.
I'll still run out and rent TR tomorrow as I'm eager to play it, but SimCity is what I'll be buying tomorrow.

You don't have to go in the spread. Just an over/under then.
More than Bioshock, less than StarCraft.
Yep. Gameplay wise I much prefer it over UC. I just wish the narrative and writing were stronger. Pretty amazing start to a rebooted franchise, well done SE.
TR would probably do less than SC2 and Sim City but better than Bioshock. Don't know how it will so against God of War. Isn't there also a new Gears of War game coming?
TR should still do well. The initial reveal got people generally hyped and the marketing for the game has been turned on full force along with very solid reviews.

Sim City? Sim City gonna bomb hard. I still have 2k installed, why would I ever get another Sim City?
Not to derail but I really doubt Sim City is going to bomb unless it runs like complete garbage like CitiesXL.
You not wanting the game =/= othere people not wanting the game. Sim City will sell like hotcakes.
Tomb Raider will also do fine, at least good enough for a sequel anyway. It is still a pretty famous brand even though the last few games were mediocre AND it's getting pretty good reviews and word of mouth atm.

Wish amazon would give out keys now so I can at least pre load the game
The initial campaign was nearly thrown off track, but they did rebound rather nicely. I doubt it'll suffer the same fate DmC did. It'll probably go on to do higher numbers than Underworld.
Well I haven't given a shit about Gears since GoW3 but it's hard to say how the sales pan out for the game. It's obvious that it will perform lower than the other GoW games.

completely off topic but Giantbomb is doing a live quick look of Sim City and the tiny city maps are a real bummer (at least to me personally)
TRs last best selling game was nearly two decades ago and at least half a dozen games apart. DMC's best selling game was its most recent one and not even 5 years had passed since then. To say that Capcom pulled the reboot card too early for DMC would be an understatement.

Shouldn't there have been a launch trailer released nowish?

Sales will be ok-ish to impressive because NPD will group all of them together, so I can easily see it being top 5 NPD.

I've just finished the game and I can say I am amazed. Good story, good gameplay and excelent graphics.
This new TR is not as good as Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 (wich is a masterpiece BTW), but I really think it's better than Uncharted 3, just because it's a better paced game.
Now I'm really excited to try the multiplayer.

Well Uncharted 3 is pretty crap so I would hope it would be better.
Well, I liked UC3. It was just... disappointing when compared to its predecessors, specially UC2. I think that's because I/we was/were expecting a lot from UC3 after UC2. With Tomb Raider, it was the opposite: I wasn't expecting much from it.

I thought UC3 took everything that was good about UC2 - a good story, seamless and narrative-based transitions from one level to the next, and thoughtful encounter design - and threw it all out the window in favor of larger-than-life set pieces, most of which fell flat. The cruise ship was boring and pointless in the grand scheme of the plot, the desert felt like I was just holding forward on the analog stick for 10 minutes, and beating some of the areas on Crushing was a fucking pain in the ass (cruise ship ballroom fight, horseback chase, and the caverns leading up to the final confrontation come to mind).
If Tomb Raider isn't better than UC3 then I've been seriously fleeced.

UC1>UC2. Come at me.
I'll do that and try to keep Tres on, if it crashes again then both go off.
