Asking if a game will launch on its release date is like asking if you were born on your birthday.
That doesn't make sense... considering the history of this project and the fact that it hasn't been released yet.
It's more like saying... will you be born exactly when the doctor expects you to be born?... which is pretty unlikely and more in line with the history of Darkfall..
Lots of people don't think before they speak.. you won't be the first or the last =P
The only way I can see it being released on time is if they go 100% Digital Release - which I would like to see.
I also don't want to see this "Pre-Order" and "Head Start" rubbish that seems to have become a popular marketing ploy to wring yet more money out of consumers.
But, unless they really know what they are doing, and have their plans already in place - they have left it too late.
And 100% Digital has the potential to be a nightmare when everyone tries to download it at once...

I cannot disagree, well I guess I'll wait for NA release ... frankly don't care if its digital or boxed... i just want to play it.
i agree....a better analogy would be " We are having a baby and her due date is December 8th" How many times are babies born on the exact date the doctor said it would?
I voted "don't know" because.. well.. for all intensive purposes, I'm hopefully optimistic. I very much want Darkfall to come out. I just want to sit down and play the game. And.. get this.. If it sucks.. I won't play past the first month.. I'm just tired of reading all the "hype" and watching Tasos with his superiority complex spout how how great Darkfall is.
It will launch on release date. The real question is how playable will it be and will the servers stay up.

Aventurine, technically, still has some time to give out info, start an Open Beta, whatever. But certainly not much, and the clock is ticking fast. If they think they're so awesome that they don't need a strees test like an Open Beta, I'll love to see how terribly the game actually launches. At the moment I'm inclined to believe that it won't release on the 22nd.

Very often, since C-Sections are becoming the norm
Voted 100% sure that it will launch at release date. Hell how could it not launch when it is released unless the game client can't launch under Windoze due to bad programming.
Point is the question for your poll was incorrectly worded to convey what you probably meant, hence my smart ass answer.

Asking if a game will launch on its release date is like asking if you were born on your birthday.

It is hard to tell if a man is telling the truth when you know you would lie if you were in his place

Nothing says irony like spelling ideot wrong.

Comprehension FTL. Your statement would be true if it was made after the game was released. Much like making the statement after you are born.
i agree....a better analogy would be " We are having a baby and her due date is December 8th" How many times are babies born on the exact date the doctor said it would?
Well if your not in Europe the release date doesnt mean much, i havent seen a Release date for the USA yet, Did i miss it?
Yeah I wish i knew as i really want to try it out.
time making the game = time the baby take to come
Release= birthday
This is how I saw the "birthday" comment. There is no reason to talk shit because of an analogie. And kinda a good one IMO.

Yeah d'uh, of course it will launch on it's release date, i refer to the birthday analogy.
However the real question is, will the game launch at it's ESTIMATED release date.
Very often, since C-Sections are becoming the norm
both my kids were delivered naturally so pffft
Edit I hope they do release but I have doubts.
Sure it will... and if it doesn't.. so what.
the poll should definitely be yes or no.
i vote yes.
playing: darkfall
waiting: earthrise
psh... some ch00bz need to learn. It's obvious to anyone who seen the vid in october of what looks like a finished game...
hahah I can't believe this thread... Epic Fail
