A little over €29 now, still no region lock and comes with exoplanets.

It's region locked to purchase it which a proxy will get around, but did anyone buy it and need to use a VPN to activate it

It would say if it was specifically region locked in Steam (like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for example). I've been using a proxy to get around Nuuvem's own region block for months and never had any issue with any of the games I've bought (15-18+ at this point).

Yeah, I've bought a few games from them and FM2014 was the only one i needed to use a VPN to activate. Just wanted to make sure the scale of the effort before i buy

Yeah I knew there was another big one related to sport but I couldn't remember what it was.

Bought it myself just to test and it's gone into my account without issue, won't get they key until the 24th but it was the same way with Total War: Rome II IIRC.

Tending now to get via Amazon's Online Game code. It seems cheaper than Steam's price.

Thecageyone

A lot cheaper on amazon! €34.50 Vs €49.99 on Steam!

I'm only mildly interested, not sure if I'd get my money's worth out of it yet. Will wait and see some reviews.

bleg

Preordered on Amazon. I just get the game code and work away yea? What's the catch?

Kunkka

Considering the amount of time I've put in to Civ V I'll be getting this for sure.

Generic Dreadhead

Getting super excited for this now... eeeeee!!!!

ZeitgeistGlee

Just realised the Monday following the release is a bank holiday.

Any of you have preferred factions/ideologies so far?

I normally escape for the weekend to avoid the crowds, I may just play Beyond Earth instead. :P

Vinneyboy

Approximately €28 on Nuuvem. Bought my copy from there with no issues so far, includes the Exoplanets DLC.

Manach

At 50e steam seems to be off the list in places to buy this.

Steam is almost always off the list of places to buy games, bar during the sales.

I'll pick this up later in the month, as i'm broke right now. Too many bloody games released in the last month or two.

Sephiroth_dude

Is there an embargo for reviews?

degrassinoel

haven't seen any yet, only previews and the first hour or so of gameplay

Shiminay

I don't see myself getting this till christmas time to allow for bug fixes etc. I have plenty of other things to be going on with till then

degrassinoel

Are you certain? I've got it preordered so that's my next week sorted probably until Dragon Age:I


Have a look at this opening cine

Lucy and Harry

http://store.steampowered.com/app/65980 this new steam video has me waiting for this game.I have the other Civ Game and use mods to make it better from the workshop.

Kepler 186f: This lush forest planet is one of the oldest known Earth-like planets.

Maps like this will be interesting

Boo-urns.

Outkast_IRE

No way am i getting this until christmas. Have final year exams coming up and this game is bound to sap all my free time if i get it.

It should be an excellent christmas though with this, alien isolation and shadow of mordor to play

I was made redundant at the end of September and was looking forward to spending some time on this but I am away for the bank holiday weekend and got a new job starting immediately after. First world problems.

Lingua Franca

I'm probably waiting until December too, I'm currently using necromancy to keep this PC of mine alive until I can build a new one.

bleg

I want it now.

Lone Stone

just got it on g2play woop roll on friday

Pre-loading.

Sephiroth_dude

Dieing to read some reviews.

Kunkka

Shall buy it next week I'd say.

Kiith

Will be waiting a while on this. Currently playing through Shadow or Morder and Aline Isolation, and with WoD around the corner, i'd not get a lot of time to spend on this.

ShaneU

Tried to order this off amazon uk and it says downloads are only available to U.S. customers? Wtf?

edit: used a UK address and it worked

Lone Stone

has anyone else got it off g2play ?
I never got a pre order on it before does your key get sent to you closer to the launch day ? because i got a confirmed payment mail at around 11 earlier but no key has been sent to me.

Kiith

They sometimes say you won't receive the game until the day of launch. If that's the case, it should say it in red writing just above the game description.

nesf

GMG isn't giving me my licence key until launch day. Or so they're saying. It's probably the same for all key merchants.

Edit: Nope, my key is there on the website.

ZeitgeistGlee

Just redeemed my Nuuvem key. Did any of you get a separate key for the Exoplanets DLC?

I cancelled my box order when I saw the game code option on Amazon; but was miffed when they then told me US only. Thankfully Parcel Motel's UK address is accepted :P

Manach

Only one review in Metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/sid-meiers-civilization-beyond-earth, and as a cavaet not from a source I'd heard of.

JohnK

Well this sucks, just got my dispatch notification from Amazon but I foolishly used my Irish address rather than Parcel Motel so won't have it until next Thursday

Kiith

So it goes live tonight at midnight, and i've a 4 day weekend.

God damn it, i'll have to buy it now

McSasquatch II

I really need to concentrate on study over midterm..... but so freaking tempted.

Kunkka

Payday next week, slightly tempted to neglect my food intake to buy this

Manach

To paraphrase the great monk Erasmus:
“When I have a little money,I buy books Civ games; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”

Lone Stone

i think if i freeze myself tomorrow will come quicker.
But yes i got sent a dispatch mail from g2play and where it had game key: it was a blank im assuming il get it tomorrow or some thing.

Great game back in the day and still now.

I bought my original copy back in 1999 from a friend for 10. My Mother said I was ripped off... Still play it, still love it.
