![]() ![]() God forbid the game makers actually update the install file that’s being sold or put up an ANNOUNCEMENT that, hey, here’s a problem, here’s the thing you download to fix it. So didn’t have to call tech support after all, as Susan popped on line to mention that THERE IS A PATCH because evidently there is a KNOWN ISSUE with the original install file. Because I really hate that shit and I’ve already dealt with one tech support department this week who didn’t succeed at that task and is getting reported. Gamestop tech support, I am coming for you and you better have some kind of answer that you manage to deliver without implying that I am a moron. I don’t consider myself a stupid person but this is ridiculous.Īnd why does every blessed thing have to be connected to the internet? Why can’t I just turn it on and PLAY THE FREAKING GAME? Code redeemed! And it doesn’t recognize it as being for anything. Copy that, go into the game, dig around until I find a place to do that, which opens ANOTHER browser window, makes me create a BioWare account, and finally I find a place to enter a code. One the game, the other…IDK what it was, but something about a redemption code, which I was supposed to redeem inside the game. Go look in the GameStop app where there had been 2 things downloaded. I did finally get that fixed this morning back to full screen. And let’s not even talk about how playing NOT in fullscreen mode (so you can try to Google for instructions on WTH you’re doing wrong) isn’t even possible because the stupid Windows taskbar covers up the relevant buttons for saving and accepting any changes or logging into anything. I was already logged in to my origin account, so was I supposed to have access to this stuff based on what I bought? Hell if I know. So I figure, okay, I can at least create my friggin’ character.Įxcept, no, I’m getting some kind of message that there’s a whole bunch of content that hasn’t been authorized and I’m supposed to log in something or other. Well then 45 minutes of that was taken up by an update to the Origin app (:grumble grumble: crappy internet :grumble grumble:). So, last night I sit down to finally start a game, as I had an hour or so before bed. From THERE, I had to download the actual GAME (which I had to come up to the office to do because with our craptastic internet, it would’ve taken 3 days). Then apparently I had to download the Origin app. My inner bargain queen was quite satisfied.įirst I had to download the GameStop app thing. As I have been trying to make a little more time to play (not necessarily games, but just do stuff that isn’t WORK) this year, Susan finally talked me into buying Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition, which was on sale at Gamestop a week or so ago for $5.99. I wouldn’t call myself a gamer, as I haven’t played much of anything in the last six years, but I’m not a total neophyte. Can I just say that beating stuff up is incredibly cathartic. And in the year after I got out of grad school, I played the crap out of some World of Warcraft. ![]() I had a brief flirtation with a racing game on Xbox (I LOVE me some drift). Over the years I played all the NES systems up through Wii. Pretty well as simple as flipping the “On” switch. I am about to date myself: I miss Super Mario Brothers.īy which, I mean I miss the simplicity of plugging in a game cartridge, turning on the machine, and playing. ![]()
