Will we see this game by Christmas?

I'm honestly beginning to wonder. It seems like forever ago I pre-ordered, and the ship date has been pushed back so many times. Can anyone say "Daikatana" ?

I can say it, but why? They have given you a release date. The only problem that caused a delay was files that did not get included. They had the strange idea that it would be better for the customer to get what they paid for ( ie. all of the game files ) than part and have to download the rest.

I think it is safe to say that you will have the game before Christmas.

Heh.

I can personally assure you this is the Last delay. The manuals are almost done printing and the final run of the CD's are processing.

Then we just assemble and ship

.

BTW give us 30 million dollars (Diakatana's budget) and 4 years of delay's and we can get you one heck of a game

Daikatana . . . <snerk>

Just their horribly mishandled advertising budget could have turned out a good game instead of those antagonistic and childish ads.

Hmm, "Sarge Wants To Make You His *****" . . .

Nah.

I'm in no hurry for a flawed product. I believe you when you say this is the Last delay but I'm also glad time was taken to get it right. (And that Last thing could have happened to anybody!

)
