till 21st here T_T

You know there is another comic about video games including the "day of the tentacle" monster. It is called "starkiller - scourge of the galaxy". Most of its jokes are even funnier because their are all the truether 25 years later.

*ship

I preodered the game and had to wait for it to shift so I didn't get it until the 20th anyway. I understand bro.

THEY GONNA BAN THE GAME BECAUSE HAZ VIOLENCE AND PROBALY IN BRAZIL AND STUFFZ with RASCISM

ALALALALLALA MACUMBA ALALALLAALALALLALA

I just used a proxy and hope I don't get banned.

and it's locked for Belgium until the 21 :p

@Nostalgia / Old and Stale

Not anymoar it doesn't!

hue

NO NEW COMIC 4 U!

Regional lockout: Proliferating piracy since 1999

I know how you feel. When I preordered Skyrim I didn't get it til the Wednesday AFTER it came out.

Ooh. The russian lockdown has been lifted, by the way. Steam promises a worldwide version as well.

This comic has two titles!

I'm sry... When I bought diablo 3 i preordered on newegg for 10 dollars cheaper... but I didn't realize that the game wouldn't ship until the release date so I had to wait close to a week before I got it... Meanwhile everyone and their brother was playing it in the dorm I was living in at the time

i feel your pain bro. same for me

Oh seriously? How did you know? The store never tells you.

[url=#user_comment_181103]@Geary[/url]: Still not cool, but that's just the least harmful form of regional discrimination. Origin sells people games on euro(2.5 times dollar value) on any non US region. Steam refuses to sell any game with GFWL outside US, so no Dark Souls. And there's more. It's so bad.

It's basically Borderlands 1.5, I have no idea how they took 3 years to release this.

Also, cuz im not a socioblyadok, i really miss games like morrowind, hl, TLJ, BG etc, the ones that totally single player oriented.
Future seems so blek to me, fells like i should just abandon internets and sunk irl.

Nintyuk
Halo and thanks you!
>you can only play with other people
No thank you, i'm not into coop and multiplayer, cuz im not a socioblyadok.

Just gonna say one thing:

Do what you want, 'cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!

Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Being a pirate is all right with me,
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!

i played dat shit from 18 sep. on pc, lul

[url=#user_comment_181089]@Menash[/url]: They're not discriminating, they're just releasing the day after that area takes note of how much of things have been sold. It's entirely for the purpose of boosting their first-week sales numbers, and nobody gets hurt by a two or three day delay.

Torchlight 2 on the 20th.

Regionally discriminating bullshit is one of the worst kinds of business practices in the world and should be made illegal. Being able to bypass it does not right that wrong.
There's no reasonable justification for that kind of treatment, specially in the age of the internet.

Don't worry Jo, you're not missing much...
...
...
...
Except that it's everything Borderlands 1 should have been! Trolololol

I don't really get why a two or three day delay is that horrible. :/

Eu destravei o meu usando o Spotflux. Steam agora tá em modo offline e o jogo tá aqui pra mim jogar.

Dia 20 às 9h00 eu ponho o Steam online de novo…

But the game is shitty anyway, waste of 60 whatever . It's basicly mindless MMO grinding put into an FPS. And it's not even an MMO lulz. Same boring stuff back in the first game is still boring in this one, not a single damn improvement made. You just go pew pew, we passed that since Half Life.

[url=#user_comment_180922]@VPN[/url]: 6.Get account locked by Steam admins who have stated there looking out for these kind of breaches of the SSA.

@Same Russian: But Russians and some Baltic states get a region locked Russian only version which you can only play with other people who have that version of the game.

South of Brazil is currently under water. I'll be waiting for the "too late" Torchlight 2 to be activated tomorrow =D Also a regional holiday *_*

South Africa's retail got delayed to the 27th.

People play games when they're newly released? I always wait for the patches...

[url=#user_comment_180952]@Hazger[/url]: God has a strage sense of humor.

It's great in Russia! we ruskyes enjoy it right until some fat retailers start selling licenced games in our region, then we buy it and keep enjoin'
Many, many tanks to oue skidrow brothers

I find it hard to be sympathic what with the release date here being the 21st.

If it makes you feel any better, the game is absolutely amazing and everything everyone wanted it to be for the next 48 hours, after which it will be mediocre trash!

Had this with Ghost recon, just use a USA proxy and launch steam.

[url=#user_comment_180922]@VPN[/url]: 6. Get ban for tampering with your location :)

That's not bad at all. Every ex-USSR (an even Baltic) gamer who pre-purchased this game from Steam will get crappy-translated Russian version with "Russian ghetto" multiplayer instead. Well, 2K proposed moneyback, but there's virtually no options to get normal EU version now.

I agree with the sentiment. Chile here and I was gonna get together with friends to play the game (we bought the 4pack) and when we found it was a very FUUUUUUUU moment -.-

I bought Civ V on the day it released.
Only to find when I got home that my video card could not run it. I had to wait until christmas to get a new card.
I know that feel.

At least you can play it. Here in Venezuela we are the only country in south america that is blocked for playing the game and from the look is going to be permanent the block... :(

The UK will welcome you :D sit and wait with us :D

2 days? I could be dead in 2 days.

3,5. Start Hotspot Shield and connect
(Stupid me -.-)

1. Close Steam
2. Download Hotspot Shield
3. Install hotspot Shield
4. Start Steam
5. Start Borderlands and have fun.

Does this mean Brazil is 1st world now?

From what I heard, it is the same game as Borderlands 1, anyway. You ain't missing much. I guess.

I wasn't even expecting it since I never really got into the original borderlands (I sucked at it), but when I saw 2 was out I played it and I must say its jolly good fun.

It's even worse in Russia, locked until 21 and about 5 days ago my pre-ordered euro-version turned into russian with language and region-lock. Hate you, 2k.

2 days more for me as well, even in pre-order from store..

I'm in Europe and I can play the game whenever I want. Use a VPN.

Don't worry. I'll help.
Handsome Jack is Tiber Septum when he takes his face off.

Grab your pitchforks!
Seriously, there's absolytely no reason for this, other than "LOLOLO you can't sell digital copies of the game before stupid retailers in Europe/South America/Australia/whatever get their loads of boxes".
Good thing Torchlight 2 releases simultaneously worldwide.

Normally I'd just tell you to 'suck it up you big baby', but years of being a gamer have taught me that waiting for a game can be killer. Oh the sleepless nights...

Well for me the 20th is tomorrow and I can't even buy it till then...

At least you have the game. I preordered, and it was supposed to be in the mail yesterday. I might have it tomorrow...

shut up joe, we get it on 21st.
when im on nightshift. GAAAAAH.

SO MUCH RAIN? DOWN HERE, IT'S SO GODAMN HOT YOU CAN COOK AN EGG ON THE SIDEWALK, AND IT'S MORE DRY THAN A NUN'S VAGINA, AND YOU COME AT ME COMPLAINING ABOUT RAIN?
Sorry, just a little bit bitter.

Yeah Europe definitely has it bad. I'm so excited!

Arghhh... I don't get it

i know the feeling, bro.

I have to wait until the 21st until it unlocks, so I'll just be playing FTL, or maybe some PvZ, or whatever floats my boat until the game unlocks.

If it makes you feel any better, I can't play it at all because it crashes every five to ten minutes.

Oh Jo, europe has to wait yet another day when you get it...

@Mein Herr: It's the hat I wear on TF2 with my engineer.

Do we know why Engie is wear a newspaper hat?

It's out on the 21st in Euroland. Fortunately I've learned to cope with delays after years of practice.

Mawhaha having so much fun

And it's in russian only (hate translations)... And season pass incompatible.

You can use a VPN to unlock the game earlier. You just have to keep Steam offline until the official release date in your country.

I'm in the same boat, most of my friends can play it while I gotta wait for 20th... D':

In Russia too. And it's region locked to boot. This sucks.
