Yay, I got it... sort of
« on: May 05, 2007, 04:49:01 PM »
Look what I bought today:


It's the ET:QW presales package, coming with dogtags and 2 artwork cards. The cards - obviously - have artwork of a certain ET:QW vehicle on the front and a factsheet and "action shot" on the back, the dogtags come with a pre-order code that allows to pre-register the ingame nickname.

They need to start selling ;) I'll buy it anyways, as long as they have patches ready that keep the game playable I'm fine... I've been baptised in the fires of Battle"patchwar"field and believe that ET:QW can't be worse than BF2 1.3 was.

Ooooh but it is lol. Patience may be a virtue, but in this case it's a necessity.

I paid 10 EUR for the pre-order, that's more than I paid for the BF2142 pre-order (5,-) but still doesn't make my financial worries significantly worse. Beyond that, it's not going to expire or something and ET:QW is definitely one of those few games of which I think they might replace my BF2 addiction.
So, no regrets... except for the Ltd. collector's edition. However, I suppose that's a non-GER thing, again.

Now I just gotta find me a good nickname.
Btw, could some of you beta-guys suggest adding an input for additional clantags at the appropriate place, so one doesn't have to build them into the name?

Wow. They expect it on June, 15th and Crysis on June, 29th. That seems over-optimistic, in both cases.

Well it's possible since they got most of the gameplay they want. But only if they get their act together and fix alot of the bugs. And they're covering their butts saying "It'll be done when it's done." and I agree with that. I guess we'll find out their progress from the next build...

Yeah I think a HUGE part of it is just performance issues atm. Since most of the vehicles and weapons have been balanced out quite well IMO (aside from the GPMG damaging the tank :P ) So it is possible to see it in June.

I think what they are really trying to avoid is having to patch a game 2 days after release ala bf2/stalker and every other freakin game that comes out nowadays. Rather than constantly patching and changing around the weapons i think they are really trying for the "do it once and do it right approach" which IMO is worth the wait.

Definitely, but the fact that even usually reliable companies couldn't deliver a product of that quality leaves me doubtful.
