Hey! why is gamesopt showing 12/5/05 for Xbox and PC releases, gamespot doesn't put any release date until it's clear. Black and white 2 release date varied a lot on other sites but gamespot always showed TBA...It could be wrong , dono...

Dhruin: but if it was to be expected, why would the person responsible for PR negate a rumor of a delay two weeks ago, which is what made the fans A LOT more confident that the game would be out in time.

Bethesda still hasn't come out with a statement - and I definitely do not believe the extra time they need for bug fixes is months. I'm not saying Take2 is lying, but there are many ways to take a run with the truth.

Alohan: I wouldn't put my trust in Gamespot, they tend to set dates without knowing them at all - - they've done it before.

I can't answer that. Because they were under pressure from Microsoft so there would a launch RPG? Because they were under pressure from T2 for Xmas sales? Because they pressured themselves to get Microsoft's launch-game bonus? Because the devs kept saying they could get it done...until even they had to admit they couldn't? This has happened many times before - sometimes the suits drive these things but sometimes the devs just don't want to admit they were wrong/stuffed up/couldn't get it done. Dunno.

Hey they are dissapointing us more than I imagined, but there's still no word from a dev so we still got hope... But what's the real problem?

They just haven't finished. Finally, conclusiveness... I wished to be able to play it next month, but I'm satisfied they want to completely finish it before putting it out.

Hey guys,

Is it just me or do you too think that some people are taking this issue a way too seriously.For instance the situation on the official forums was just downright horrible, people just yelling for eachother and bashing devs in every freaking thread.
I wonder why some people get so hysterical instantly.I mean seriously this ain't the first time that some game gets delayed and certainly this is not worth losing a temper.Its not like there are not other games worth of playing or other things to do.

Luckily discussions are allways quite civilized here, which just proves why rpgdot kicks ass .

not necessarily more civil, just less crowded.

It's not that hard to figure out though. When you really have your mind set on something, and it doesn't happen, your mind makes it seem far bigger than it really is... especially if you're not used to that.

Think of the suicide rate. Most people who commit suicide are rich people, with a great life and everything going for them. Because, when everything's gone your way in your life, a minor setback can be such a huge blow to the morale, whereas that setback for someone who's had a life of hardship and anguish, means nothing at all.

If you played Dungeon Lords you would not want a game unfinished, it was empty, nothing, rooms with 4 walls, I don't want that to happen to a game like Oblivion. But I was right all along, they dissapointed us, telling they were giving the final touch(forks plates ...)!!! Oh well...

Yes, that's it. I absolutely agree with you.

I think it's a new marketing tactic. It seems to have worked for Valve, Vivendi and Half-Life 2.
