I'm still getting it because I don't always agree with McElroy or Sterling (that AC 2 score I'll never get over his logic) and I want to support games using the ME formula.
Whomever that was at Sony or Sega that trashed the game in that leaked document that caused the delay from Oct. 09 to June 10 can go
themselves. If this game had come out then (and by all looks it's the same as it was then) then it would be getting better reviews even by the likes of McElroy and Sterling.
But now we've had Dragon Age (and an expansion), Mass Effect 2, FF XIII, and to a lesser extent, NIER, Resonance of Fate, and Record of Agarest War so the RPG market is super crowded, and that's not counting Fable 3 and Fallout New Vegas coming out in the fall.
If this came out last Oct., it's the 2nd best RPG of the year behind Dragon Age. Now it's lucky if it will be in the top 5 of 2010.
I would say either get this for $45 at Kmart (or price match it at BB, WM, Target) next week, or wait until this fall when it'll be $30 or so. I've been waiting with baited breath for this game for 2 years and just hope it's a fun ride. I've given up on it being a long-delayed but classic game like Alan Wake is, now I just want Mass Effect 1 ish spy RPG that fun but slightly flawed.
Oh and Fallout fans, Obsidian is doing Fallout New Vegas also don't forget. It may already have the engine in place, but so did KOTOR 2 and remember what happened when they had a strict deadline for that one.
