Volourn Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It's a good thing I don't base my dislikes, and likes for games base don silly awards. KOTOR2 was good. About as good as KOTOR1. Neither one is even in the same league as the AWESOME JE. JE > than all but three 3 RPGS. Eat 'em apples, trolls. P.S. The trolls know who they are - theya re the ones who had tod rag my name into this thread. P.S.S. I am not that important. When disucssing Game Awards; my name should NEVER come up unless it's my non existing awards contest being discussed. That is all. Thank you for your co-operation. For Obsidian: Congratulations.

alanschu Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 You are correct, but games don't usually go "gold" a full 6 weeks before release that I know of. Actually that is roughly about right. 4-6 weeks. Half-Life 2 went gold on October 18th, a full 29 days before being released. 6 weeks is probably the upper end, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.

metadigital Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Half-Life 2 was held up by VU, though, as part of their feud with Valve over Steam ... P.S.

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Speaking of awards and Spellmar, Obsidian's home page now has the following: Pop over to Computer and Vido Games and vote for KotOR2! Ladies, there's even a special category for you! I'm not emailing them with spelling corrections again - I did it last time with 'openning'. Looking down the long list of games, the only other contender for best PC game for me would be Bloodlines. I shall have to think on this. Oh, and it's actually 'Girl's' choice.

alanschu Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Both sides commented that their feud would not delay Half-Life 2 (since it was in both of their interests to see it get released). How true this statement was can be debated I suppose. I attribute most of the "delay" to the overambitious release date, in addition to the hacker getting his hands on the media build of the game.

Krookie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Speaking of Half-Life 2, I heard it was going to be released on the X-Box? If it is, it won't look half as good. Mabye if it's on the 360, but they should leave it on the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nur Ab Sal Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 So how many Game of the Year awards TSL has already won? HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt.

There is less risk of piracy with the Xbox, I would think, which would be their main concern. Probably also not Valve's (direct) problem, either: EA would lose their profit margin, but for Valve it's all gravy. I wouldn't rule out an Xbox Live cryptographic key to unlock the game, however; it's not that difficult (just time consuming, if they use a long asynchronous cipher, like DES or 3DES).
