Reasons for why it took so long: Perfectionism, lack of funds, not enough developers, and attempts to make a game too ambitious for its time.

We all know the story. At least it's getting a happy ending.

 

riiiight...

Damn. Pretty easy specs, really. They must have optimized the shit out of it if my video card is above the benchmark.

According to this...It's Done.

[Bjossi]

The game's technology is quite old, of course it has easy specs. I like the fact they detailed the internet activation thing, some publishers don't even put a fine print on their malware infected shit.

[Alyxx Thorne]

I'm really excited. I can't wait to bust some pig cops and, well, check out some busts...

[Kirkreng]

Hmmm..There are a number of things you could mean with that.

"Bust may refer to:

 

* Bust (sculpture), a sculpture depicting a person's head and shoulders

* Bust (magazine), a feminist pop culture magazine

* Bust (sports), derogatory term for a player who is drafted at a high position and fails

* Bust, a word for a woman's breasts

* Busted, a slang term for an arrest

* Boom and bust cycle in economics

* Going over 21 in blackjack

* May mean the explosion or collapse of an object

"

[Alyxx Thorne]

Choose your own meaning then =P

[Kirkreng]

I can't chose between:

"Bust, a word for a woman's breasts"

and

"May mean the explosion or collapse of an object"

[Alyxx Thorne]

Maybe it's both, lol

Warhead Waffles. Why aren't I surprised?

[Kirkreng]

"I know right where I'd stick him" xD

[Alyxx Thorne]

Pretty awesome and hilarious at the same time.

[BTGBullseye]

Ok, I'm definitely going to torrent it, simply for the shrinkage stuff. (reminds me of the game Army Men: Sarge's Heroes for some reason)

[Axeldeath]

I'm not going to make a comment BTG.... You know what will happen.

[BTGBullseye]

Yeah, text will appear on people's screens, and it will be read.

And we are going to read it HARD!

That's a possibilty, I was more thinking along the lines of-

 

-I argue with you

-You argue back

-We are told to stay on topic so we revive the Piracy thread

-We make a few arguements

-We run out of arguements

-Neither of us convinces the other piracy is good/bad

-Piracy thread becomes dead

-Nothing is resolved

-Waste of time

 

Anyway back on topic, I wont be buying this game day 1 but it seems too awesome to pass by so I'll probably buy it when it gets a Steam discount (if they have one... they'd better have one D:<)

You forgot:

 

-Short flame war started by neither of us

 

I plan on buying anything I torrent that doesn't completely suck, after I get enough money to do so. (this obviously doesn't completely suck, can see that from the previews)

[Alyxx Thorne]

Unless I've pre-ordered something, like I did with Portal 2 and this game, I tend to try it out before I buy it.
