Because Gearbox are “optimizing the PC version”, a process “which takes a few days longer than expected”, the North American release of the PC version of the game will be out on October 26. For those outside North America, this means their version has dropped back to October 30.

Well I guess it could be worse, when was PC dragon age coming out? July? NICE.

If this were Valve, we’d be lucky to see it this year.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 11:09 PMThis is more like a delay to optimise sales and curb piracy in the first week (the time when 90% of those intersted buy the game), rather an “optimising” period.

Look at Far Cry 2 (mind you I had no issues, but many did) and GTA4! They we’re utterly FAIL when they first released. And still carried over many annoying console things like those blue flashing save boxes in FC2 which were completely pointless when you could do the same thing in nowhere near the time ANYWHERE in the map by pressing the quick save key!
Its annoying as hell now that games get ported TO the PC rather than FROM it…. I’d rather wait than suffer a shoddy product.

Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 12:54 AMAh bloody hell. Oh well, at least it’s not like a month or two or three or four or never like it is with a good chunk of other multiplatform games out there. It’s not cuz they decided to do a shitty port over to the PC and realised, oh, we should at least try to make it less shit than it already is, is it?
