Good they usually get it after everyone else.

For crying out loud that's still a very long time !

On the other hand , by then I've finished my internship which means I can enjoy the game at its fullest !

Oh and screw NA why do they always get games before Europe :'(

Blame Canada.

Seriously, why do they get most things earlier? Don't tell me that it's because of shipping, because then they could just wait three days longer.

Hope digital copies can play at 17th, would be awesome but I doubt it. :unsure:

There are plenty of things that aren't released first in America, and are released first in other countries.
Bethesda is an American Based company, and lots of times for American Companies it means it comes out first in the US, then comes out in other countries a day or two later. Games like Pokemon and such are usually released in Japan, then everywhere else a few days later.

This is good for me. I can finish up all the games i have and get all the trophies.
Basicly my new years resolution.

Also, the final box art was revealed today also. It doesn't look much different from the placeholder we've seen for months. You can see it here (click on the pics) - http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showpost.php?p=258120&postcount=1

In case you need confirmation.

Pokemon is more than a few days later...much more.

The new black and white games release in Japan in september. They don't release in the US until March. Half a year difference.

Oh well, I'm fine with May. That just means I have enough time to prepare myself for commentaries.

Shipping.

:P

I rather don't like it. But that might be because I just like The Anger not so much in general. It will probably support the box-sales.

Would've been more awesome if they had several box-arts, tho. (At least one Security-archetype-based as well.)

Now the bad thing about May is, that they will not release much info in the next few weeks, I guess.

man... i was really looking forward to march 31st! but at least i can get some money on my birthday (may 7th) to help pay for it. and actually i owuld love to switch dates with europe. i would rather play it on a weekend with no worries then get it, and have to wait for friday

"Never play on patch day."

In Europe the release-day can become a massive lag-fest, when everyone and their mother are rushing in for the weekend.
The US rather won't have such a problem, eh?

» Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:15 pm

:/ Wish it was later. Quality over quanity.

» Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:09 am

I'm actually rather happy it's release date is facing the backend of May. Game releases the day AFTER my last final for the semester, so I'll be able to focus until then

Cheers.

Splash Damage has done enough balancing for me.
I see you more of the Duke Nukem Forever type, DKF is coming out in May like Brink, what a long 11 years of development.

I think it will be just fine. It's already been pushed back almost a year from it's original purported release date. They've had more than enough time to get it right, and what I've seen of it, it seems like they've done/ are doing just that.

Sweet they got rid of that weird, awkward, Tony Hawk thing.

From what Ive experienced with releases, its really hard to say what can go wrong.
Call of Duty: Black OPS - is buggy, lol. And the lag kills.
Team Fortress 2 - I don't like it now after the customs, too many of them. But smooth release from what I remember.
Guild Wars: Nightfall - Semi-perfect release, but some people had a bug that wouldn't let them past a certain town close to the end, and it didn't get fixed for a week.

» Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:38 am

My college year ends on............MAY 16

I'm not even joking!
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN!!

Ah Guild Wars, a fine game before it died. If only Guild Wars 2 would get a release date.

Meh, after my account got locked due to it getting hacked, and me not being able to get it back because the account was an old friend of mine's, I lost interest in it.
But yes, lots of good times had.
