Dungeon Siege & Arcanum News!

08-18-2001, 06:42 PM

Well, it is official, Dungeon Siege has been delayed until Feb 2002. Arrrghhh! I was drooling for it to come out in Sept!!!!!

They claim that they wish to tweak it, and make it as good as possible. I can agree, if they need to work out the bugs and stuff, then I'd rather it be delayed... I was just REALLY looking forward to it..

Also, I have the Store released version (Final) of Arcanum, but on the cover of the CD it says "REMEMBER: All Reviews embargoed until Aug 21st 2001", so I cannot release my review of it until then.. I wonder why they are wanting us to wait... Any ideas?

Only reason i can think of is really negative one
They are afraid their game is going to be writen down by the reviewers and want to sell as much copies as possible before the reviews come out
Let's hope that's not the case

Darn! I've been hearing that I should pick up Arcanum and now I really WANT to see your review, Z! Well, not like I don't have plenty to play in the meantime, but still I'm curious now!

Yes, is it? I'd love to hear about the game! Lady Nightshade really loves it and recommends it to me.

Sad news. I've been checking out everything I can about it on the net since you posted that screenshot a while back. Oh well, the longer it takes the better it'll be (hopefully.)

Well tell me about why Warcraft III takes so long to be released too...

Arcanum is a good game they say... and you can have some fun in the brothels... well, that is fun, more interaction and even that kind is good... I want to have my hands on it someday... Dungeon Siege I don't know...

I've tried the Arcanum demo, and if the complete game is as good as the demo then I am going to buy it, too bad about Dungeon Siege, and the reason that Warcraft III is not out yet is because Blizzard has a reputation for bug-less games, and since they wish to keep that reputation they never release a game until it is 500% tested and bug-free.

I've heard Arcanum was a bit dissapointing, but thats just hear say.
But from a very reliable source that is.
Anyway, ill probably buy it myself.

You'll probably hear Arcanum get loads of bad reviews due to the fact that those who like turn-based combat are a minority, even though you can choose real-time combat too, but, turn-based beats real-time any day.
