[QUOTE="Zonerunner, post: 171172"] So, let me get this straight, you'd rather buy a incomplete game 6 months early rather than wait for a game that really shines? Ooooookay. You forget that these teams work 9-5. Would you have them work 24 hours a day just to get it out on time. What happens to their rights? I'm a programmer. I know that games dont appear overnight. They require a lot of crunch time, and when things dont work out the way theyre supposed to, schedules get put back. I've never seen a game delayed because its the "cool" thing to do, only because a game obviously needs more development time to live up to the promise made in the original press releases. I'm not really sure why "making a game good" is a punishable offense...? Aaaanyways, i'll probably not be purchasing GTA IV, lest it goes back to the campy fun of III and Vice City. San Andreas and Vice City Stories somewhat ruined the franchise for me with its tones of overt-seriousness, and I feel like i've had my glut of sandbox ***les. No doubt Dan will pick it up at launch though and no doubt I shall probe him for the information I seek before ultimately making my purchasing decision. [/QUOTE]
