-----So, I assume that SEV is approaching it's final release form.

Now Ragnorak, how are those bugs any worse then bugs in the past? I mean, I can think of hundreds of games with bugs that are just as bad that were released over my life time. Hell, The Legend of Zelda: Links awakening had a bug were sometimes it would crash and when you restarted the game all the castles would be marked as completed so you couldn't finish your saved game and that was on the NES.

Like a lot of folks I've been waiting on this on a long time. Here's hoping the coding is better than the game box graphics!

Indubitally. Or something.

Re: Official SE5 release date announced - Septembe
 

According to Shack News, SE5 is out on Tuesday. Either they're a bit confused or they know something we don't. My guess is the former.

baby_arm - My guess is they got their info from the "Wargamer" website. Which still has the incorrect date of 8/12 instead of 9/12.

Woohoo! Official release date set; quick, let's have a long, involved argument about bugs in games!

Remember that when most anticipated sequels to loved games come out, they are immediately trashed, bashed, *****ed about, hated, despised, thrown out, returned, and generally do improve over time as a following develops. Keep in mind that when SE IV was released it was continually updated with patches and new features.
