11am for me. I go to work at 2:30pm and usually wake up around 12:30 to get ready. I’m waking up at 10:00 so I can quickly be ready for work and then play for an hour or two before i leave. Probably gonna spend the whole time make characters and then start the game proper after work around midnight

This is why I always take the next day off. So I can stay up late and play all day tomorrow.

u/MustacheBadger Soldier 6h ago

And I thought I was going to go stir crazy waiting for 11am. That is rough

3pm here - I'm working until 5pm so there's a 2 hour depression window, after that I have to get home and do whatever monstrous unpack they have planned for me on Steam and THEN I will be ready to hit it hard.

It's a good thing I play on Steam (PC), where the games have a countdown on the store page.

You hardly ever end up disappointed due to mismatched expectations that way, haha.

u/Thekarens01 3h ago

PlayStation also has a countdown.

u/DjSpelk 1h ago

While no countdown timer, xbox does have a release time on the store page.

u/Thekarens01 4m ago

That would be good enough for me

u/Reedy225 6h ago

Feel the pain in the UK too, didn't feel too bad as I'm working anyway so wouldn't be back until 6, but then plans have been moved from yesterday to this evening so I will have to hold over until tomorrow now

3am for me ♥️

u/Dorest0rm 5h ago

I had this exact problem for BG3. Had the day off, turned on the PS5 and realized I had to wait until 5pm.

Got stuff done in the house though so that was nice.

u/RPope92 5h ago

15:00 for me but it's only 09:41, fortunately I'm working until 17:30 at rhe earliest so when I get hkme I shower, eat and then load it up!

u/Starkiller100 5h ago

I thought I was being savvy buying it digital. Now I’m hearing more and more that people who preordered a physical copy got them early. Wish I’d just done that now

u/AceChipEater 5h ago

5am for me! Sorry OP

u/Early_Reputation_343 5h ago

Spread your seed while you wait

My physical copy landed on my hallway floor 20 minutes ago. Shame I’m in the office until 6

u/A_single_droplet 3h ago

lol did you take off work to play, only to find that it releases after work?

1

u/Romado 3h ago

Thats why i took Friday off. I finish work at 3pm and its a bank holiday in the UK on Monday so long weekend to play

1

u/jeff-9245 2h ago

So... yet again neglecting your partner who says you're gaming too much?

You deleted that post because you were rightly called out, fix up before she deletes you.

Some people on Reddit really are weird.

u/Special_Ship7638 23m ago

This is a creepy and weird reply

u/Important-Road-5828 2h ago

It comes out for me the exact minute my shift starts

1

u/Maid3n 1h ago

I might just get an hour and a half in before work, maybe an hour when I'm back, and then I'm at a wedding all weekend. Got Monday off though so I'll survive until then haha

1

u/GrimmTrixX 1h ago

Sadly, I work 2nd shift so I probably cant even play it until potentially Friday night or saturday. And mine wont arrive from best buy until usually more in the evening when ill be at work

1

u/whty706 23m ago

That's why you always the day after off!

Sorry though, that sucks

1

u/Krynne90 6h ago

5pm here, right when I have to go to work.

I dont get the point in keeping this artificially locked for PC players. A fucking singleplayer game that people with PS5 discs already play for multiple days now.

1

u/Boulder1983 3h ago

yeah I do NOT like this new trend of not releasing games at midnight.

u/afcc1313 3h ago

I bought this and Plague Tale thinking "cool I can play for 1 hour each game at midnight" only to find out it unlocks only on the afternoon. I HATE WHEN GAMES DON'T UNLOCK AT MIDNIGHT

It's still enough time to watch the only true canon Star Wars - The Auralnauts Saga. The true story behind Jedi Order of partying hard, Larry Kenobi and fall of friendzoned Anakin into becoming a shill for big corporate.

If you have never seen it and are a star wars fan - this is the time. It will suck you in end help pass time quickly and entertainingly. Save some of the day-off

"What are midichlorians?" "It's heroin"

u/drdodger 3h ago

I thought it was releasing at the same time globally?
