Unfortunately, it seems that the USA doesn't get to play until midnight. I'm really antsy to see if this game is worth the name. I would go so far as to say I'm a bit hyped.

Dunno what you mean, worth the name. It's not like XCOm 2 needs to be much like X-com. It's a sequel to EU, not the original-And THAT was a remake.

Does anyone know how to turn on Ironman?
Enforce self-discipline and never reload from a past save? :P

Just because it had a hyphen removed from it, doesn't mean the game gets a pass on being good enough to bear the name. On top of that, the game's strategic layer is a significant enough departure from the formula that questioning its worthiness of even the remake name is entirely justified. I mean, so far most things point to it being a quality game, but the question itself is valid.

Do we have a B12 character pool submission going on anywhere?
Don't think so. Should it be this thread, or a new one in PWWB (y'know, this board's sub-board)?
A semi-LP frankenthread where people pop in to mention how they and their dwarfy corpses operatives are doing could be neat, but I feel like we'd need a certain critical mass of demand to justify its own thread. Maybe do it in this one until it spirals out of control, then split off into a new thread if necessary?

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

I wish I had money and patience because preordering is a no.

I'll curate a list of only generally "realistic" characters, with normal names.

Looking at the release time map again I wonder if it is just a mistake or if South Korea is black intentionally.

I had a huge kerfuffle with GMG over receiving an Asian region locked key and will not be buying from them again. Basically when I go back to the US I will have to vpn-pretend I'm in Asia to use the game I paid full $USD price for.

Screw them.

On the plus side I do get to play a half a day early compared to back home.

How do you know it's region locked?

Create a shortcut for Steam.exe with -console suffix , then start Steam from this shortcut.
Navigate to console tab, type in licenses_for_app 268500
Find the PackageID, then look up Steamdb page for XCOM2, see if your packageID has any region locks attached to it.

Mine: https://steamdb.info/sub/88104/
"Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Brunei Darussalam, Macau"

Activated on steam showed "XCOM2 (Asia)".
