One way to release a game by a certain date is to cut back on QA. Just leave the final tweaking for the first patch, (if the game sells well that is). Another way is to only make half a game. These practices are becoming more and more prevalent and its just too bad.

I now do a fair bit of reading of reviews and playing of demos before I buy a game. Dont want to spend $50 on something that lasts a week and has nothing new to offer...

Oh yeah.

Onward and upward.

You're about two thirds through the game.

Prey is a good game. Unfortunately, it is a "half" a game at twenty hours. I hope the sequel is longer.

I only bought this today for a cheap $25. Pretty cool so far, and it runs well on my system at 1024x768 (the best compromise between resolution and refresh rate on my CRT).

I missed this game on the PC, but it looked great on my 360 and 55"HDTV. I liked the story line and the portals. The walking up walls and ceiling was pretty good too. I can not wait for the second one.

I'm pretty sure I did. Jog my memory and tell me what happend. If I'm not mistaken it had him fixing up the Bar and then that one priestess comes and takes him to meet someon. It left it wide open for a sequel.
