Stop complaining, do you want it by Christmas 2003 and unplayable and buggy or by Christmas 2004 and playable and buggy (joke)

I would rather they take as long as they need to get the game just right.

A good Lemony Snicket game would be coooool. And far too horrid for small children to play. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

But if it isn't called "The Ghastly Game" they haven't understood it...

The whole time frame for release of RTW is dictated by what goes on in the naughty cupboard.

Anyway please don't rush Haste makes waste. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I Thank god they are taking there time with this game.

I've seen way to many games pushed out the door lately. The latest victim I played was TR:AoD. I'd hate to see a similar thing happen to R:TW.

What is TR:AoD? I think I've heard of it before.

The new Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
I have PS2 Version, though the PC got an even lower score.
It could've been another classic, but they had shortened it to make it more accessable, BLAH.
But it was also rushed, and it had just a few bugs that really screwed the game to a sadly lower score than it could've gotten, if only they'd waited maybe a month or few longer to fix the controls.
I'd hate to see R:TW not shine to its potential due to a rushed release.
SimCity 4 also suffered a rushed release. "Rush Hour" is a fitting name for the ex-pac.
