Mike Frank Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Originally posted by Achilles Help me to understand how that's an irony... Because they're both good games being released on the same day one month apart from each other. What? Doesn't anyone believe me?!! Ok ok, fine. Bah.
RedHawke Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Ahhh... KOTOR:TSL in December. It will be so cool! De Cem 'Beer'
messkell Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 If it's out in december, I'll give santa a keg of ale.... If it's out in february, I'll pry the game loose from the grubby little hands of the ground hog

Please don't take any offense

Achilles Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Originally posted by Mike Frank Well for starters I was just suggesting inuendo between the defenition of irony and the occurance of strange events, creating an understood effect. But I think it can fall under number 3, ya...so anyway. Uhh...ok
Hiroki Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 I find it funny that arguments over words are becoming so comment in the KOTOR forums, and no where else in Lucasforums.
Achilles Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Originally posted by Hiroki I find it funny that arguments over words are becoming so comment in the KOTOR forums, and no where else in Lucasforums. Do you mean "common"? I'm sorry I couldn't resist... Typos are to be expected and are easy to live with. Inappropriate word usage has always been a pet peeve of mine, so I tend to have fun with people when I see it . No harm intended, of course....

Com Raven Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 [Persuade - Success] Guys, I am sure you would all prefer to get on topic again, right?
JediFanatic10 Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 yea all of this big word usage... irony-inuendo.. gots to go we're talking about release dates... they dont need to ship it out in december, if they do then it'll be rushed and prolly end up like JA. What a let down man!

What a let down man! I would love to hear your rationale behind this. We know that OE started working on TSL about the same time that KotOR was hitting the shelves, which means they've been working on it for just over a year. We also know that Bioware gave OE their complete toolset and a working game engine. We also know that their delivery date to LA is upon them and that they've been pretty much done for over a month. So, knowing all this, I would love to hear how it is that you know for a fact that the game will be "rushed" if it comes out in December. The game has to be finished sometime. If it's sooner rather than later....well, I'm ok with that
RedHawke Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 ^^^^ I agree with Achillies. Bioware did most of the game engine work on KOTOR, which they handed to Obsidian. All Obsidian had to do was create the new story, places, and add some bells and whistles to the game, so December sounds like a really reasonable release date. Just my 2 cents!
FiEND_138 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Originally posted by JediFanatic10 then it'll be rushed and prolly end up like JA. Lets hope not.... JA had to have been 1 of my greatest let downs in a game. For all it could have been & wasn't...... Hopefully when Dec. rolls around & IF (keyword being IF) OE says it isn't ready to ship, LA understands that & just doesn't send it out the door anyway for the lucrative X-Mas market. Just my 6 cents........
Com Raven Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Well, I think KotOR is already big-enough of a brand name that LEC won't need holiday season to sell it. That being said, I still think that we'll see it this year though...
Prime Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Originally posted by Com Raven Well, I think KotOR is already big-enough of a brand name that LEC won't need holiday season to sell it. That probably goes for just about any game with Star Wars on the box.
Com Raven Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Well, in my experience, since the days of Force Commander and the Episode I games, most people think that Star Wars games suck. So, it is sometimes more of a chore than a bonus...
