I know they aren't allowed to have a ranged weapon. I've never used the shield to "pull" but wouldn't it still aggro the guys you have to run up to that you aren't attacking?

Keep splitting hairs. If a game meets its sales expectations, it's considered a success. If it doesn't, it's considered a failure. If it fails to cover even development costs, it's considered a total failure, and the company has to rethink their strategy or they risk going down. It was an absolute failure. It only managed to cover development costs years after it was released. Most developers wouldn't be able to survive such a blow. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think it's hairsplitting or anything. However, as you say, it did cover development costs. It just took a long time. So in your own words, it wouldn't be a total failure. An absolute failure is a game that flat out doesn't sell IMO, but now we're just discussing opinions. In other words I'm running out of reasons to bash the game. Don't think less of people's opinions of the game content when you disagree with their interpretations of non-content related manners.

I think people were considering the release candidate as being "gold." Maybe I'm just patient and wait specifically for the gold announcement, I just don't remember being "let down" for a delayed release. Although I do remember being anxious about the release candidate. I had heard that the release candidate took a long time because VU was being anal retentive in its QA, which can be just as much a good thing as a bad thing. I don't remember them saying Half-Life 2 wasn't at an acceptable level of quality though.

Don't mean to be tooooo demanding, but would it be possible to get an updated map. It's difficult to consider the situations when I have to constantly remind myself that I'm not actually in the Aegean Sea and whatnot

I don't consider it to be much for "pulling" since it still requires you to run right up beside the guy.

I disagree. There are varying degrees of success and failures. If it made zero money, then I would be more likely to classify it as a "total failure," to use Sargy's words. The fact that it eventually did turn a profit would mean to me that it wasn't an absolute failure, but just failed given the demands of the industry.

I thought that because the support was against the MAO, then it isn't actually cut?

They never said all characters would have cameos. No producer ever talks in such absolutes. Words like "all" and "never" and whatnot are too absolute.

hahahaha

It's the sound of pigs flying, hell freezing over, and all that jazz

The engine is soooo good though, you can't tell that they are actually slightly not perfect!

That's only because JE is a shorter game than BG

OMGZF0432402!!! Z0RSZ0RSZ0RS Need more z0rs!!!! w0wz0rs!

Clearly. They are misrepresenting their position. My intelligence indicates they're still in Kiel!

Enjoy your CRPGs on the consoles

No need to preach to me the cost advantages of consoles.

The ArchDuke of Austria applauds the French Prime Minister for his abilities to remain Sovereign.

Because the console version of this game is ironclad?

Bah. No sense living in fear. Sure, you could hole yourself up and stay alive. But are you really living?

Also They are coming to my City on the 5th! (w00t)

I doubt they did it as a joke or an Easter Egg. I am a CompSci student, and almost all of my bug testing error messages are something goofy along those lines as well.

Since I'm on a roll, I did notice that the Austrian Army in Serbia was able to march into undefended Rome unmolested "
