Recommended Posts

Lois: Honey, what do you say we uh...christen these new sheets, huh?

Peter: Why Lois Griffin, you naughty girl.

Lois: Hehehe...that's me.

Peter: You dirty hustler.

Lois: Hehehehe...

Peter: You filthy, stinky prostitute.

Lois: Aha, ok I get it...

Peter: You foul, venereal disease carrying, street walking whore.

Lois: Alright, that's enough!

And who says that they have to stick to that releasedate? :)

Because that is when they think it will be done at this time. Until then their release date will be accepted as holy writ, then they will delay it and everyone will moan and complain.

 

Such is the way of game boards everywhere.

Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.

I have every confidence that the release date will be met.

 

yeah, i'm an optimist.

I'm a bit of a newb to RPG-scene, but when Obsidian was known as Black Isle, did they meet their dead-lines?

For the most part yes.

Funny that.

 

I don't remember a single game going out on time from BIS. The only games I know for sure about though are PS:T which was delayed some six months from the original estimation and IWD2 that was also delayed quite a bit (though that was to work in a new ruleset and stuff like that).

 

So in my experience, timeliness was never a BIS-trait. Making good games, however, was.

No they didn't. BIS games were delayed many times. Many, many times. See IWD2 which was DELAYED months as just ONE example.
