Lets face it, they can;t win - we've all seen this so many times before with
any game which has a huge following.  If they release it early and its full
of bugs we whinge like hell when we have to download 5 patches to get the
thing working, but if they hold of and get it right, we complain because we
want to play it NOW!

I still don't know why games designers can't set release dates and stick to
them though....

Cheers,

Mike.
