I'm a retro junkie. Screw this bump mapped normal mapped anti stropic filtered bloom lighted HDR enhanced 3D model crap, give me sprites, static backgrounds, scrolling screens, slowdown when I shoot up the place a little too much.

Australian, New Zealand WAR release = FAIL
RJG \| 6:24 AM on 09.19.2008	4 comments

The ship that brought Warhammer: Age of Reckoning to Australia and New Zealand.

I don't want to make a big thing out of this, but here:

http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99297

Basically, once you install WAR using the discs available from Australian and New Zealand retail stores you still can't play it, because it fails to install an .exe.

That's right, there's no way to actually launch the game once it is installed.

There is a fix available (basically downloading an .exe from someone who has it) but goddamn, this is just pathetic.

There is no excuse for this. EA is crap. That is all.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Yeah EA doesn't like our country at all. Still waiting for Rock Band 1 to hit our shores? WTF? Do we even care anymore? Hell fucking no.

Eat shit EA

Wow, I wonder if this is a problem with the pressing of the games or somebody actually managed to send off a disc to be duplicated that had a broken file on it.

This has to be the most epic fail yet. I wonder, have there been any other games released that wouldn't even start up out of the box?

Australia and NZ always get shat upon. No way I'd want to live there again...

Oh, and Germany. I feel sorry for you guys.
