So XCOM 2 is advertised as a 4th February release yet doesn't unlock until 11PM?

That's pathetic really. If it's not playable until 11PM then they might as well just say it releases on the 5th. Really bad advertising practices otherwise. 4th February should mean available from the very start of the day ie. 00:00 AM, not an hour before the day ends.

Happened to me when I pre-loaded Homeworld DoK, it was said to launch on the 20th Jan and it turned 20th for me as soona s midnight and yet I wasn't able to play the game well until 5pm that day. Needless to say I was annoyed quite a bit and I have a feeling it's going to happen with XCOM 2 even though I've already pre-loaded. I don't know how they do it but I thnik Valve go by a specific US timezone in order for a world wide release which is pretty damn pathetic and stupid if you ask me and it won't stop spoilers in any way shape or form if that is their main excuse.

What should originally happen is the moment it turns midnight in the UK or anywhere else ahead in time, should be able toplay the game from that point on.

 

Also yeah you're right it officially says on Steams page in the UK that it's to be released today and it;s nearly fucking 7pm for fucks sake.

If you look at the map I posted, it's clear to see where they set the time zones:

Zone 3 Feb 5th 5:01 AM GMT

             Feb 4th 9:01 PM PST

             Feb 5th 12:01 AM EST

I was going to make a thread about the new announced "culling" game but we don't have much more info about it besides a trailer and their Steam page along with knowing that it's going to be like Battle Royale.



Needless to say I'm sold on the idea.

Yeah I can imagine how annoying that is.

It should unlock at midnight on the day. But even if for whatever reason they can't manage that then they should have an exact time beside the date. At least that way you know before you even order it when you'll be able to play it.

Dude we got like 1 minute until it inlocks =D

Lol nearly 11:10 and nothing is happening. Wth is even going on Steam/Firaxis?. I know I'm not alone ebcause I'm in a live thread where all other Brits are talking about the game still not unlocking.

The game unlocked for me nearly 20 mins ago, though I'm hopping into a few matches of Heroes of the Storm to try out the latest added heroes.

CCP REVEALS NEW EVE-BASED FPS, AN "EVOLUTION OF PROJECT LEGION"

http://www.pcgamer.com/ccp-reveals-new-eve-based-fps-an-evolution-of-project-legion/

Dust 514 is a free-to-play FPS spin-off of EVE Online that launched in 2013, unfortunately as a PlayStation 3 exclusive. CCP salved that wound somewhat a year later when it announced Project Legion, a game similar to Dust 514, but more able to leverage the power of PCs. But now it appears that things have changed: Dust 514 is going offline later this year, and while the planned PC shooter is still in the works, it doesn't sound like it's Project Legion anymore.

 

GRIP, THE ROLLCAGE-INSPIRED RACING GAME, HITS STEAM EARLY ACCESS

http://www.pcgamer.com/grip-the-rollcage-inspired-racing-game-hits-steam-early-access/

Grip, the combat racing game inspired by (which is to say, couldn't get the rights to) Rollcage, crashed and burned pretty hard on Kickstarter last year. In spite of that, developer Caged Element said the work would continue, supported by a home-grown crowdfunding campaign and, eventually, an Early Access release. And so it has.

We've seen a little bit of Dark Souls 3 gameplay, but it all takes place in the same area. Now, thanks to a YouTuber who archived a recent From Software stream, we have another six minutes of footage to salivate over, set in a locale none of the promotional material has explored before.
