Where is everyone?
I was expecting it to be quiet next week because of the launch of MGS2. (Tyla has booked the day off - he'll be gutted if the post runs a day late!) It was the same with the launch of GT3 and GTA3. It was dead for about a week, and then all the posts started flooding in along the lines of "this bit is soooo cool" and "how do I do this".
But I think I might have got it worked out. Just before SSX Tricky was released, I was deep in Klonoa 2. A fantastic game, doubtless, but I knew from the experience of the first SSX and how it took over my entire life, that if I don't complete Klonoa before the launch of Tricky, I'll never get around to it.
How many games have you got on your shelf at home where you were really into it, and then you get this killer game that takes you over, and all your other games are forgotten? I must have about 15 games at least at home which I havent finished, Jak and Daxter being the current reason, but then I'm trying to rag through it because of MGS2.
So what are you going to do? Ask developers not to release games until they have had a reasonable amount of time since the last release to finish it? Obviously not! They want to make their cash as much as you want the games.
Your only option is to get these other games out of the way. Not a nice way to put it, and not a very nice way to play games, rushing through them to be ready for the next game release, but it has to be done or they will never be finished.
So where is everyone? Playing Jak and Daxter, GTA3, WRC, GT3, Tricky, DMC, and a bunch more great games while they can, because come the 5th, and they will all be forgotten!
Slave.

I happened to be at school most of today, surprisingly.
Maybe its when we all have collective amnesia?
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I'm currently playing State of Emergency (well I'm not playing at the mo cos I'm at work....doh).
But I also have at home, unfinished, DMC, Half Life, J&D. I finally finished SH2 in 3 sittings and was glad to get that over and done with.
I know State of Emergency will get put on the shelf as soon as MGS2 turns up but I'm not that worried.
Just booked next Friday off so hopefully the post wont be late.....please SR, sort the posties out! :-)
