have a nice day buddy.

Obnoxious.

Here we go with the I told you so. Pathetic, backhanded, self justification.

lol, liar liar, pants on fire

as you well remember, after you repeatedly posting negative pessimistic release date forecasts for years, you made the mistake of actually stating a specific date 1 year into the future, at which point you were called out on it by me to put your money where your mouth was (easy to see, its in the forum records)

you know, thats when your spine turned to jelly, and you slithered away babeling some meaningless banter to try and distract from the fact you couldnt standup when it was time to be counted

even funnier is that you behaved repeatedly in the same manner in this forum, and that the last time you were called out on it your forecast was "not before august 2011"

so save your excrement fixated meaningless banter for your spotty faced chums

ps: maybe bring in one of your alt nicks to make a meaningless post pretending to agree with yourself, some newbies here havnt seen the whole tree-show yet

oh, no offence of course, all in good jest, but all true nevertheless

We all agree about this but ask yourself: why?

Oleg has posted an incredible amount of pics, and people here said "Hoooooo, wonderfull!!!!" ecc. ecc. ecc.. We know it.
The release has been a disaster, and CoD a fiasco because is no more than a bad alpha, full bugged and a placeholder itself. Now, again, we ask for development update. Do we deserve it? No.........to many fanboys here.

I'm joking (ehm... not to much!), but my impression is that budget was enough for a complete game...

8 million is nowadays only a drop on the bucket in the field of game development. Recent game developments have today a budget that compares to low-budget Hollywood productions, means 25-30 millions are a good start.

Ok, let me try and defuse this.

The initial post by zapatista has some interesting points, minus the effort of provoking Tree.

It's been a civil thread with some interesting information and speculation that hasn't devolved into a flamewar thus far. Please, let's keep it this way guys.

I know it might be hard for you two to play nice after your past encounters but come on...i wouldn't want to have to move posts to the arguments thread when it's been nice and cozy so far

Tree: You're on two out of three warnings mate, i know it's the slip of the tongue and use of idioms sometimes but try to contain profanity somewhat, there are minors on the board and people report posts for stuff like that. I talk that way among friends in the bar too, but here's a public forum so i think it best to try and step lightly in certain matters.

Zap: You made a pretty good post giving your side of the story, no need to stir up trouble and reduce your well-put post to flamebait.


I don't want to have to move posts, serve warnings or ban anyone because it's my belief that anyone can contribute something useful if being on the right mindset. Let's just play nice. See, i didn't even break out the red text for this, this is how calm this thread has been thus far

$8,000,000 @ $45 would need arround 178,000 copies to be sold. At the Russian price of $14.00 that would be be 570,000 copies. I know UBiSoft was asking about $80AUD for their download.

I wonder how close they are to breaking even?

I got two copies, the collectors edition and in a rush of blood the steam download (Thinking it would get to me quicker- The Collectors edition turned up first so my second copy was passed on to my brother.

That we don't deserve it has absolutely nothing to do with fanboys, but is correct otherwise!

Fair do's, I apologise for rising to Zap's bait.

it's a fair cop, guv ! you got my vote

seeing the content of some of tree's posts sometimes just awakens the instinct of the toreador walking past the arena

It doesnt really matter now who was right, it makes for a pretty sad state of affairs. All it really leaves me with is "what could of been".
