Fallout 3 is ONLY SOMEWHAT available in Singapore! DAMN!!!!

Oct 29, 2008 10:06

Fallout 3 is out, somewhat. The Singapore release dates are WAAAAY outta whack by the way. Here's something that Singaporeans are talking about--November 13 for the PC version, and the rest suck (for me at least). According to PSM3 mag, the PC one looks incredible, while the Xbox and PS3 look about the same save that the Xbox renders distant objects better.

I'm not going to spend 100 hours playing the most awaited game I have in my mind, waited for so many years, for an inferior experience on a console. And I don't want to use a console controller for this, I want a MOUSE.

All right. Singapore will have the console version out on October 31, but phuc dat. Am I going to wait until November 13? Hell, NO. If they're not going to bring that in on time, I'm going to use my dollars to vote. Whatever I do and however I get it the local distributor's not getting my dollars, unless it's not his fault--can't imagine how it's not his fault though, because all three platforms are supposed to release simultaneously and the local distributor is releasing the sucky console versions first.

Wiki release dates: October 28 in North America, October 30 in the EU and Australia, and October 31 for the UK.

Am I going to courier it from the US to me? Too slow, it takes three days. So, physical delivery before October 31, phuc dat. No Fallout 3 Alarm Clock Survival Edition for me then... sob. It must then be an online download. Only two places for this, Direct2Drive.com and Steampowered.com.

Not that it's EASY! D2D is making the download available 10pm Singapore time!!! Doing D2D, I entered everything and my credit card number, and it detected that my IP address was not from its list of approved nations and promptly took FO3 out of my shopping cart and disapproved my purchase. And that's an IP address check, NOT credit card check, because my Paypal account couldn't buy it, too.

Steampowered next. As you can see from my pix, Steam discovered that I'm not worthy of an October 28 download, and gave me a October 31 date instead of the Australia October 30 or the US October 28 date. DAMN!

Anyway, this is my best bet. As the day comes I'll update this blog.

Meanwhile, I'm doing up DirectX 10 on my 9800GTX on my PC in anticipation of FO3 in two days 16 hours. I'm reading that with this so that at least I can get somewhat close to maximum quality on a 24-inch widescreen monitor. This is what I've been building and continually upgrading my PC for all these years and thousands of dollars. :) Yeah, right.
