>>Sure, they will work on the game more but so what? What if all the bugs were allready fixed.<<
The release is being pushed back precisely because they want to spend more time fixing bugs and they knew that an April release would not give them enough time. Do you really think they would want to delay for no reason? Arkane needed this extra time and it is good that Fishtank granted it to them.

No. They are just delaying to fuck with us. My birthday is coming up and I want that game on it!!!

I can understand your frust and anger, but your rudeness is totally uncalled for. Arcane Studios and Fishtank are here to make money and a really great game (since that brings in more money, too ;) and I think they will never delay it for unjust reasons or "just so".
Actually, I think the "heh, we need more time to do it properly" is a much better attitude than the usual "let's ship it, we can patch it later when all the suckers already paid us" that is so often found in the software industry at large and in the gaming industry especially.
Cheers,

You're joking, right?
Trust me, the only reason for the delay is to fix up the game.

so the delay may be a good thing after all.....
i still remember the debacle over ultima IX ...i bought the dragon ed
& will never ever fall for that again :)
so maybe they will release a second tech demo to bash on next month
or sometime :)
cant beat free testing ya know :)

AHAHAHA that game was always gonna suck though. Anyone who even thought for a minute a girly-man like Romero would make Daikatana good is nuts. Remember the ads?? "John Romero is gonna make you his bitch" or something like that.
Arx won't turn into a Daikatana, but lets just hope they do some fixin in this extra time.
