Aaah crap

crapalicious ! 1!! 11! 11 ! :rant:

DukeNukem will prolly hit the shelves b4 tis damn game eva does...!

Update: As THQ confirmed to us, this piece of news is wrong. The current release date is still "when it's done".

Do i have to enlarge my text so you won't get pissed again ?
I'ts much better to say "when it's done", giving the developers more time to make it bug free and a superb game.

God damn it :rant: :rant: :rant:

fiscal Q4 is like real life Q3? I don't know whether Take 2, EA or THQ do this.

Let's hope so eh :thumbup:

Wtf..? how come its been pushed back so far, last time i ever checked up on this game is was ment to be coming out in Q4 2004 then got pushed back till march or some time but Q4 2005? they must have deleted half the game or are adding somthing big...

Let's hope it doesn't turn into another Daikatana



In production forever and when it comes out it's bolloX

Tis is just wrong from the get go, I mean pushing a game back and addin or improvin stuff I can comprehend, but 4 a whole year is just wrong...! The developers should have pointed out from the bginnin Q4 2005 instead of tis crap... I'm sure a lot of u will say what does it matter...hell it matters a lot when ur a gamer and u want tis game 2 rule, but at the same time want it as quickly as possible...If the release date would have been Q4 2005 from the bginnin, no1 in there right mind would have had ne hopes 4 tis game 2 emerge sooner than that. Now a lot of peepz have had hopes of playin tis game in Q4 2004 - Q2 2005, wich is just bad 4 business...VERY BAD...

You need to understand that all major games worked on for years. (HL2, Doom3, Max Payne 2 ...and many movies as well)
The longer the time they get, the better the game will come out, you can see many examples of games being far too early released for their time, and the outcome is rubbish. Hold on to your expectations, instead you should be happy that STALKER will be released with MP at all, and DX 9 rendering option if it wasn't the delay in 2004 to push the game forward.

Don't blame the company for your early expectations.
