Let's keep this short and simple: Gas Powered Games' Dungeon Siege II is GOLD and should hit stores in mid August.<blockquote><em><strong>Adventurers Called to Arms as Dungeon Siege II Goes Gold</strong><br><br>
Microsoft Game Studios and Gas Powered Games today announced that Dungeon Siege II, the ambitious sequel to Chris Taylor's best-selling, award-winning action role-playing game (RPG) Dungeon Siege, has gone gold. Gamers will once again journey to the beautiful fantasy land of Aranna on 16th August 2005, when Dungeon Siege II charges onto store shelves with a suggested retail price of £34.99.
<br><br>
Dungeon Siege II casts players into a land deeply scarred by civil war, where they will lead an elite battle party against a vicious marauder hell-bent on bringing the world under his control, no matter the cost. Dungeon Siege II raises the bar for action-RPGs by introducing a deeper storyline, an extensive quest system and a new AI system creating more challenging and cunning foes.
<br><br>
Developed exclusively for Windows XP, Dungeon Siege II promises to delight RPG fans with a cutting-edge 3D engine, intense real-time combat against monstrous foes and cooperative multiplayer support. Visit the official Dungeon Siege II website at http://www.dungeonsiege.com, then pre-order the game at select retailers and receive a bonus Dungeon Siege II comic book!</em></blockquote> |

| Gone gold but not avaibable? |
|
Normally Gold means the game should be avaibable shortly, in this case it's still more than half a month untill it hit shelves.
They could have waited a little more with this announcement. |

When ToEE went Gold it was well before the official launch date. Looking at the calendar I knew the official launch date meant it was a cheap stunt and they were going ot Launch it "early".
Troika launch it two weeks before the end of their Quarter to show good sales for it.
I, personally, didn't experience too many bugs with it. I bought it when it was $10 and the 2nd patch was out so I can't persnally say if it would have benefited from a later deadline ( I really enjoy the game).
I will comment on some irony It was that same push that drove the Troika into leaving Black Isle. The artificial deadline of launching Fallout 2 for third quarter was the reason they left only to do the same thing themselves. F2 would have been a huge Christmas hit if they had worked out the save game bugs etc. instead of being a well remembered classic now.
Not as bad as Ultima 9 released the same year though. Both could have been as big, if not bigger, than Baldur's Gate. |
