How's your GAME UK order going along?

Post » Tue May 08, 2012 8:09 pm

I'm sitting here with my copy in my hands. I activated the game on steam, and was greeted with a "Cannot install because the game is not released yet."



:(

But actually I prefer it this way. I'm going to prepare with beer, energy drinks and snacks! :D

I'VE GOT THE GAME! Just delivered by Royal Mail, so hopefully everyone else who ordered from GAME will get theirs today - keep an eye out for your postie! :D

Nice chatting to you all, but I probably won't be on here for a while now. :celebration: See you later!

[Edit] Just so people know, I thought I had got Special Delivery, but it turns out it was just standard 1st class.

:celebration: awesome!!

Yep I've had every game I've had from Game a day early. This is literally the first one that's not arrived. :( But RM being so useless means there's so many different bits along the way that it can get delayed.

This happened to me with Battlefield 3, I sent an email to GAME asking them what was up with that and they didn't even get back to me. Really disliking them lately.

I think this is quite a common problem, I know that they had issues with their website a few weeks ago but has recently been fixed (I hope).

They (GAME) are good for delivery but their customer service and website is terrible.

yeah i hate the new website now as when you try and check your orders, it has order numbers rather than names and you have to spend ages filtering through stuff!! should just make it plain and simple!!

This.

Their old website use to be soooo easy, now it just seems that the new website tries to 'with-hold' information from you.

Nup he's been and gone. :( Only hope was that it may come via Parcelforce but it's just the regular edition so doubt it will.

It's okay though - the girl in my local Game is dressing up as an Argonian so worth going to the midnight launch lol.

I order with GAME a lot, stuff usually comes with the normal post but often games are sent with a courier and can be on delivery until 6pm, Forza 4 and Dead Island were delivered to me that way. Don't worry if it hasn't turned up with the normal post.

I don't think I've ever been this excited waiting for a postman to come at my door. The hardest part is yet to come though, having it in my hands and not being able to play it. :(
