... knew I'd get you to click on this message...
But I do have a good thought and want to get it out and see what you all think...
SOO they pushed back the estimated date on DOOM III. However, I think this game will be terrific when it is released. The sad truth is that the longer they take, the more anticipation there is to get the game. Reminds me of South Beach where I used to live. The clubs would be empty from like 10pm - 1am. What they would do is keep everyone outside waiting in line to get in, so that when people would drive by the strip, they'd see all those people waiting in in and it would get their attention, meanwhile, there is like 2 people inside.
Programmers aren't probably this type of people, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the advertising and publishing companies are run by tons of these "club" kids-grown up. It's just smart economics, but bad for us consumers who drool for more fun on our consoles and computers.
Me? I think its better to hold something off anyway, so that the video card companies can catch up with sales and get prices lower on the X800s and 6800s.... if Doom 3 or Half Life 2 came out right now, I'd be definitely WAY too tempted to buy a $600 dollar card right on the spot... but only an idiot would do that, no matter how much money you have... unless I did manage to download the game tonight (you'd know I'd be knocking on ATI's door with a sawed off ... "where's my x800-PT PE you canadian biyyoootch..., eh?"
