the fucking thing has been delayed.

 

cunts.

 

Yeah, let's hate on them for actually trying to deliever a great gaming experience. Fuck you, Gearbox.

i'm calling them cunts because they knew about the delay at least a week ago, as has been proved by the creation date of the new wallpaper showing the updated release date.

 

in all likelihood, they actually knew that they couldn't meet the May release back in January. if they had announced back then that they wouldn't be able to make the release, i wouldn't have minded so much. but to only make the announcement now, so close to the supposed release date, it's bullshit. also, considering the already ridiculous dev time on this game, i think that a little transparency on the reason why they've delayed wouldn't go amiss. but they won't even give that.

 

so, yes. Gearbox are cunts. cunts for not announcing the delay sooner.

 

Touchy, touchy.

If you've been waiting for the game for twelve years I don't think another month is going to do much damage.

as i've said, if they had given fans enough respect to tell us that it was going to be delayed as soon as they knew it was going to be delayed, i wouldn't be so annoyed over this.

 

i don't believe that anyone likes being misled.

 

Wauw... misled is a pretty fucking strong word. It's not like they lured you into their basement and touched you in your bathing suit area.

Would you rather play a buggy game and have your first impression destroyed by bugs or wait another month and play something that's less buggy? Actually, you should be glad that they respect their customers enough to hold back a product that a lot of people is looking forward to so they don't have to deal with glitches, bugs, and so on.

misled is not a strong word. we were told by their CEO "no more delays", and were promised a release date of May 6th internationally.

again, i reiterate that they have known about this delay for at least a week (we have proof), and in all likelihood they have probably known that they couldn't meet the May release for a good few months now.

i can guarantee that customers will still encounter bugs upon release.

and again, i would've had more respect for them if they hadn't left it so late to announce that they couldn't make the release date that they promised.

Write them a fucking letter.

It's going to suck anyway. The world has moved on significantly in the intervening years, and even romantic-nostalgia can't sustain enough serious interest anymore. No-one cares.

Exactly! I was actually going to write that.

The previews so far have been leaning to an 'ok game' rather 'omfg, yes sperm coming out of my penis!'. The graphics look terrible, the humor is outdated (omg, nekkid grlz!), poop jokes (who doesn't like poop jokes?), and so on. Just look at Bulletstorm. It sold quite a lot of copies for the Xbox360 and around 60.000 copies for the PS3 which doesn't make any sense - unless you take into account that the Xbox360 version comes with a free GoW3 MP beta, and that will explain why so many copies were sold for the Xbox360. Those kinda over-the-top games are over and out.

I'm wondering how much of a mess this game will end up being. Piecing together so much old stuff must have been horrible.

EDIT: Here are the sales numbers for Bulletstorm from NPD:

360 - Bulletstorm - 233.365

PS3 - Bulletstorm - 45.000

I mean, where the fuck is Alien: Colonial Marines?

Really, can we all group together and just sack all of Gearbox? What a shitty joke.

they can be lucky that the concept of 1st person 3D-shooters has not become outdated during the last decade

All the videos of it I've seen so far are boring and already outdated looking.

it'll probably be good, because they've had more time, more chances to go back and redo shit they weren't happy with than any other game of this magnitude...

Well played, Sir!

An awfully long production time doesn't necessarily equal a proper or even good production.

But still, I will buy this. Just to give it a chance. Even if it's bad, I'll force myself to like it.

of course. it's possible fuck anything up.... i just figure if i were the dudes working on the game, i would be tweaking things i wasn't happy with.

Incorrect, it's the final reworking of Variance.

Am I the only person who is gonna approach this game as a summer action flick with stupid jokes and huge explosions... not some deep introspective work of art masterpiece that sums up the game industry in 12 levels of pure mind bending life changing entertainment?

nope, this is exactly what i was expecting the game to be.

something light hearted.

Then we are agreed. I'll most likely be picking this up. Oh, and Capture the Babe multiplayer will be legendary.

after 12 fuckin years, it better be good!

capture the babe fucking yes

Just wait until the feminists get it censored. Aren't they already complaining about it?
