Dragon Age 2

Got my pre-order confirm email from pre-ordering it from EADM in January. Hopefully they'll let you pre-load the game on the 7th like steam does for games.

It's on in nightmare difficulty, this was discussed a few pages back lol.

Sorry, missed the part of it being on nightmare difficulty only on the other page.

Only mentioned friendly fire, because it was talking about earlier heh

[6souls]

looks like you need to be on 3.56 to play DA2, but there's already a work around.

[macross]

Wonder if I should d/l it for 360. Hope Pc one leaked soon.

[izembo]

development costs for games are skyrocketing as well, thats why the $60 pricetag. most games dont make back their cost

[Odesseiron]

Man, I really hope there's no issue with me getting my sig. edition come Tuesday. A lot of people saying their sig editions from various online retailers are cancelled. Granted I ordered from Gamestop so it should come through alright, but who knows with the fuckwit employees there

[Souj]

whats the limited edition come with aside from more free dlc items?

[Insanecyclone]

The exiled prince dlc for free

[Souj]

Is it free if you have to pay more for the limited edition? lol

[mightyg]

I believe the "signature edition" was only for people who preordered before February. Signature Edition came with the exiled prince and all other preorder content. Preordering now gets you the sword and shield and the black emporium. Joystiq priced out the dlc as 7$ for the exiled prince, and if you don't preorder, the black emporium is 10$ (rape).

Oh and preloading starts on the 4th apparently, time of day varies with service you purchased from.

[Galkaeater]

the black emporium is for all newly bought games just like shale and the cerberus network.

Signature edition comes with soundtrack, limited edition box art, a weapon for each class, and the exiled prince DLC. This was a free upgrade for those who pre-ordered prior to Jan 11th. As stated above, all new copies come with the black emporium, the mabari warhound, the mirror for changing how your character looks and mage and crafting stores. . All pre-orders come with the Fadeshear sword and Lion Of Orlais shield.

[Kyo]

Double.

[Krazy]

I'm probably buying this at bestbuy of all places because it's a block from my house, but at $60 a pop, I think stealing shit is totally understandable. It's fucking insane to me the prices of new games. These companies are borderline profiteering at this point with the economy like this, and although in a free market that's just the way the ball bounces, they deserve it when the average joe-blow gamer searches for a way to get their shit for free because they charge out the ass.

$60 beats the $75+ I used to pay for Super Nintendo games.

[Spoony Bob]

SNES games weren't vehicles to bait players into paying more to flesh out the experience they already paid for

edit: i thought this was an argument against DLC, not one rationalizing piracy. Teach me to reply to threads from my phone.

[Qalbert]

I thought this was a thread for Dragon Age 2, not a thread for bullshit rationalization for pirating. Piracy is wrong, no matter what excuses you make for it, so own up to it. I modded my wii, but I don't try to justify it with stupid excuses, the fact of the matter is I wanted to play games on it, and didn't have funds so I pirated. To say anything else would be pointlessly trying to justify doing something wrong. So, get back to discussing the game.

[Souj]

No one was talking about pirating.
Thanks for changing the conversation back to it though.

Wow.. blackcats has the game up on PS3/360 already. Might see the PC version hit before it even releases. (SE is gonna be sent via amazon, but I would be an idiot to pass up playing the game ASAP)

[Mizango]

Got mine coming Tuesday, Preordered that shit back in Nov. Plus I have plenty of games to hold me over until Tuesday, which is no big deal for me.

Its almost time!
