Support NeoGAF

[Whom_Gods_Annoy]

So how do the difficulty modes shake out? I'm a little intimidated by this game.

If you are new, I would suggest easy or normal. I wouldn't move up to classic (or whatever its called now) until you have a complete game of normal under your belt.

Legend is the only one that increases the HP of enemies if I'm not mistaken.

I used an Australian VPN and it said 6 hours instead of the usual 12. Is it really unlocking in 30 minutes? My VPN was based in Sydney.

Edit - I just logged in without the VPN and it says 6 hours still. Maybe I have to change the store region? I never used to have to do that.

 

[Sblargh]

So what VPN is everybody using to unlock the game?

VyprVPN.
I am reading horror stories of the fallout 4 launch right now. I hope all goes well. :X

13 episodes, start with a huge cast and kill one team member per episode.

You know, that's actually pretty good. Make each season a different squad living in the tension of knowing this is a lost war. It could really work.

Selfish but thank god, just got a new GPU but my CPU is ancient by current standards.

Opposite here, my GPU is the only thing I have under minimum specs. Super anxious....

Yes, from the official Steam page

So there's no support for Xbox controllers currently? Have they made a statement about adding it later or no?

I live in italy. And I remember when I unlocked fallout 4 earlier, I used wtfast vpn (with a free account). I didn't have problems. All was perfect. With this game I will try vyprvpn, I hope will be the same

no controller support outside steam controller. Nothing concrete regarding when/if they are going to add it.

Dunno if they've said anything officially about adding controller support. Maybe? Alternatively get a Steam controller or use something like Xpadder or Controller Companion (which is available on Steam).

Changing the store region could help, but check your firewall/security software. Something could be interfering there.

Anyone else think xcom could make a good tv show or even anime? Just seems like something that could produce strong characters and tense situations.

There's a show on right now called Colony that shares a similar theme with XCOM 2 (resistance force in alien-occupied Earth).

No, not really, not unless you spend tons of money and make it fairly long so people actually get invested in characters who actually get on the battlefield.

Also, you are not the first person to have the same idea; it showed up in the XCOM 2 thread on another forum I frequent, and I pointed out the same things there.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

So how can you tell the VPN is working? It still says 12 hours to unlock.

When I type what is my ip in google, it seems to be working though. I chose singapore as my location. I had turned steam off before turning the VPN on as recommended.

I've been meaning to check that show out.

edit:
wrote 15 hours but meant 12

 

[Falk]

So how can you tell the VPN is working?

by waiting 15 minutes

 

[AppleMIX]

How big is the preload size?

 

[Instro]

Nice just got my codes from cdkeys. Looking forward to a good Friday .

 

[ldcommando]

How big is the preload size?

24gb

 

[Shake Appeal]

You can mod that out on PC without Long War too. Another one to reduce the volume of it also.

Long War also gave you an "Overwatch all" key combo and a button for "Hunker Down." Those are two more QoL mods I'd like to see early on.

Check out a TV show called Falling skies, it was pretty decent if not always consistent.

Storyline is aliens have conquered earth and there are human resistance fighters. Even includes brainwashing.

Pushed me over the edge. Purchase imminent

 

[BossDarkseid]

Got VPN set up (vyprvpn) but store still in UK style...

ii did close steam completely before installing it + launching it etc.

 

[Pheace]

You won't see it until the game is released (I think)

Really hoping that's the case. Sadly one of my preorders also only got 1 key while the preorder I did from GMG gave a key for both the main game and one for the resistance pack. I'm skeptical the single key purchase is going to give me the resistance pack now

What the store says apparently doesn't matter. The way to actually test it is to go to the store page on your browser.

And wait. :|

 

[justjim89]

Why is this not unlocking til midnight EST? Seems like an odd time for it.

 

[Wunder]

I'm losing control of the situation!!

Hnng didn't work for me. Oh well. Not sure I'm too fussed when I'll be home quite early tomorrow.

 

[Falk]

I just realized it unlocks at :01 and not :00

I don't think I can wait that long.

 

[this guy are sick]

awww yeah unpacking

 

[Wunder]

i got tricked by steam

 

[Sblargh]

Unpacking!

 

[ZanDatsu]

Nothing was happening but I signed out and signed back in and now it's unpacking.

 

[Falk]

Unpacking - 4 hours

<___________>

 

[Erheller]

Got the VPN to work! Going to unpack during class.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Anyword on how big this little file is?

 

[Echoplx]

Unpacking - 4 hours

<___________>

Unpacking is slow as fuck without a modern Intel CPU and an SSD,

Uff so hype. I want this now!

 

[Falk]

I feel like if I deleted game files and redownloaded it'd be faster.

And then I remember it's like 40GB

HEHE

Unpacking is slow as fuck without a modern Intel CPU and an SSD,

I just needed to close all my work shit tbh, 34min left. Still slow, mind you.

 

[Sblargh]

...yeah, unpacking is gonna take a while.

 

[ViviOggi]

Unpacking awww yissss

 

[Crackbone]

7 min unpack. Feels like 7 hours.

 

[Sub Zero]

Will the game continue to unpack if I turn off the VPN?

 

[deoee]

Dat unlock timer

 

[Papilloma]

Unpacking here too. 22 mins......

 

[T0urbill0n]

Unpacking - 4 hours

<___________>

Unpacking here, 9 min left

 

[oupi]

Will the game continue to unpack if I turn off the VPN?

Yes

 

[Crackbone]

I've always waited until it was done then put steam offline then d/c the VPN.

 

[FlyinJ]

It's jumping between 9 hours and 1 hour for me.

 

[Shahadan]

I feel like my HDD is dying, often 100% usage and being slow as fuck. Of course now is not different, 2 hours, and fluctuating, ugh

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Good thing I got this SSD a month ago... this would take hours to unpack instead of 40 minutes.
