SE V Release date and do we care?
I heard Sept 12. Turns out to be my Bday! But will it be in stores that day?
And what do the beta testers have to say? Is the game 75% done, 80%? 90%?
How long b4 the 1st patch... We all KNOW its gonna need a patch out of the starting gate... 
How many of you will wait to buy it till it's patched?
Since its my Bday, Im gonna buy it on the 12th. But usually, I dont like rewarding software companies with impulse buys on projects they rush to the shelf incomplete. I make em pay for their hastiness and hold off till it's patched well enough. If we all did, mb they'd stop shipping majorly buggy crap. |

Re: SE V Release date and do we care?
There's a coincidence. One of the forum bigshots has the same birthday. He might not like me telling everyone who he is. oh and incidentally my own birthday is around about the same time.
The way I hear it is it will be available to order from S1 first and then a few weeks later in stores. I started a new thread last week about it. Go back a page or two.

I'll definitely be waiting for a physical copy.

Re: SE V Release date and do we care?
Really hoping for a September 12th release, but that's because it's my 20th birthday the day before and hopefully starting work the week after.
May as well try and get over the initial addiction and notify my next of kin  Who am I kidding? |

Re: SE V Release date and do we care?
There was recently an article on Tacticular Cancer that said SFI was reporting a "late september" release date.
There is a new ad Here
Press release on "Space Empires Month" Here
Tacticular Cancer article Here
Also, I notice that TC has some news on a new Jagged Alliance game, but SFI has news about them yanking publishing rights for the series... I do hope it comes out.

Re: SE V Release date and do we care?
I will definetly buy it FAST.
Everything else on my "waiting to get" list either has been piecemealed out in public beta, or I ended up on the closed beta. I drastically need a "new game" fix.

Mine's the 22nd, but I am going to get SE:V out of the gate, if I can get my hands on a copy, though it hasn't been on gamestop to pre-order and no announcement on Strategy First yet.
