Yami Fenrir posted:Yeah the ultimate/gold editions are just way overpriced for what they give you ingame (which amounts to "barely anything"). regular is $99AUD on the xbox store and gold is $139 (includes the season pass and 4 skin packs) and ultimate is another $10 on top of that for the stupid midnight skin pack/OST/a PDF of game art. its not like its a big jump in price from gold/ultimate but its definitely an extremely pointless one. fwiw I got gold edition because I buy like 2 games a year now thanks to gamepass.

To get it to preload on Origin (where I bought it) I had to search for it in the store, and then click the "Try Now" button, and then I was able to add the beta to my library and begin downloading.

It's just a weird artifact of giving everyone a beta i think. We still get it earlier.

Thanks. I would never have guessed this sequence on my own. Steam and my Origin library both showed "gently caress you wait until Nov 10th".

The beta/this release really snuck up, looking forward to checking this out tomorrow. I hate the loving early access poo poo for the premium editions, I did that once for Forza Horizon 3 because I was desperate to play it over the weekend and vowed to never do that stupid poo poo again.

So what is the release date if you buy the plebian $60 version of the game? Steam says 11/19, is that only for the more expensive versions? Definitely a lovely bad practice either way.

Between letting everyone predownload the beta, and all of the gear being pre unlocked ready for to experiment with, this is miles ahead of the cod vanguard beta

(Big if there) I don't think DLC has ever made me re-install a game honestly. Either I've long since moved on, or I bought the GOTY edition that included everything long after launch. I think The Witcher 3 might have been the first and probably only game to get me to do that. I guess for the diehard BF fans who will play forever it's a decent deal, but as a casual player it's hella dumb to have two different actual launch dates.

A friend asked about my BFV hours and I checked: 490. Goon squads apparently made the bad BFV good enough to spend this much time in it. I am optimistic for 2042 now.

Pre-load begins on October 5 (at 07:00 UTC on all platforms), but not everyone will be able to access the Open Beta at the same time. Early access is available October 6–7 (start playing at 07:00 UTC all platforms on 10/06) for anyone who has pre-ordered Battlefield 2042 or is an EA Play member. General access begins on October 8 (at 07:00 UTC on all platforms), at which point anyone can join the fight. https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/faq

Skyarb posted:How do I preload on steam? Its still greyed out for me.  Click 'Request Access' at the bottom after pre-ordering and you should immediately be granted access and start preloading. Not sure what the behavior is if you don't pre-order. I assume you still get immediate access, you just won't be able to play until Friday I think.

(Big if there) COD has $10 fee per battlepass but gives you enough cod bucks to purchase the next pass for free if you complete it. I wouldn't buy the $30 edition for 4 passes if you can pay $10 and play the game to get the next 3 passes for free

Preloading now, woop! I'm actually excited about this, I had a lot of fun in BFV at launch until they hosed around with the TTK too much and I got tired of the changes.
