Steam has always said the 18. But the game has been pushed back until next week.

If its available tomorrow ill eat my keyboard.

Witcher1979 · 17 Nov 2011 at 23:35

It has always said that, it never stoped counting down. The game was pushed back till next week. No way can steam unlock it a week in advance.

Pretty shocked if it does.

Limenote · 17 Nov 2011 at 23:37

I agree, don't get your hopes up!

tommybhoy · 17 Nov 2011 at 23:37

I'm confused, you guys are all saying it's been pushed back, but according to steam it's still tomorrow.

I only came along here to see if there was any info on pre-loading the game.

Apparently steam were told to adjust the dates on US, AUS and EU.

They haven't classed UK as part of EU.

Heres to hoping its a loop hole and we start playing tomorrow.

Witcher1979 · 17 Nov 2011 at 23:49

Well fingers crossed for you guys who used steam to buy it. I hope you can get it early, I won't as I pre-ordered the steel book. But I have lots to get through.

Anyway good luck guys

Well can any of the steam guys, start dll or even playing now?

Gog · 18 Nov 2011 at 01:28

No option to start DL for me.

Back to Skyrim it is then.

Been waiting ages for this but I am going to be busy this month and going to leave it til after xmas.

Just to remind everyone make sure you get and install the Catwoman DLC (should get it free with a new purchase) as it changes the start of the game.

It did for consoles anyway (to make more people buy new and not wait to get it second hand) less of an issue for PCs but they may still be using the same thing.

Is it definitely even included in the PC version?

9 hours till release, as far as Steam is saying, but still no download. Somewhat frustrating as when i get home from work at around 1800 tonight, if it's available every man and his dog will be downloading it so slow speeds I bet.

Yes it was confirmed here by one of the community managers.

Best version to buy is the Robin edition as you get that DLC for free as a pre-order bonus oherwise you need to pay £3.99 for it. Game/Gameplay are the only UK retailors selling that edition on PC.

So for UK PC gamers buying the Robin edition is a no brainer as its £7 cheaper than Steam & includes additional DLC so you get Catwoman & Robin DLC @ launch saving you another £3.99 so £11 overall cheaper

& most likely you will have it on release date no waiting for Steam to unlock @ 6PM BS!

Sho · 18 Nov 2011 at 14:46

According to Steam 4 hours to go... I will LOL if it doesn't unlock....

Dark_Angel · 18 Nov 2011 at 14:51

This... is complete madness really.

Witcher1979 · 18 Nov 2011 at 14:51

it won't unlock, hence why you can't preload it like other games
