When was the last time we had a good fps game? At least 3 months, right? So, after waiting all this time for GRAW2 to come out in early March, Ubisoft decides to extend it to a June release! What the F***! PC gamers are really getting the shaft!!

How are you getting the shaft just because you have to wait? Get some perspective. The reason they make you wait is because obviously the game isn't quite ready to be released yet for whatever reason. Would you rather have them release a buggy, unpolished game? Game companies usually delay the release because they need to "finish" some stuff. One should be thankful nowadays, with all the buggy releases we've seen, that there are still some companies trying to insure the game will work properly before releasing it. It sounds more to me like you "want" to get the shaft simply because you are impatient. Sorry man, but it's people like you that put pressure on developers and make them release "unfinished" games prematurely due to the "wah wah wah, I want it know!" cries from the target market.

We're "scrued"? not really. There's plenty of smaller homebrew fps's. If you can only sitck to the main hype your not even a gamer.

You wanna know who really gets shafted?  Us folks who love our flight sims (helicopter, jet, and piston engine) and our space sims.  If we're lucky, we get 1 every 3-5 years.  You should be grateful that developers still consider the FPS genre a viable market.

PC gamers own the FPS market. We have more than any other system. I don't get what you are complaining about. Getting screwed would be if this game was exclusive to consoles.

Just wait. I'm looking forward to Bioshock and that is over 5 months out. But if it takes time to get it right then so be it.

There really hasn't been a single mainstream single person shooter (other than Prey) since COD2 and FEAR were released in late 2005. And then every shooter title gets pushed back again. Yeah, it is frustrating.

FPS people are the least screwed at the moment, considering the multitude of new games the genre currently has. Ein-7919 was right, if FPS people should feel screwed by a 3 month delay, then how should flight / space sim and adventure fans feel? Royally F****d would be an understatement.

Seems like any time someone is unhappy with the market someone says we are "getting screwed."

Oh trust me, most game developers don't anything but playing other videogames. I remember I work with (undisclosed because I don't want to get sued) and the developers play WoW while they were "TRYING" to develop the game. At the end, the game really wasn't that good.

Then why is Stalker the 10th most popular board at gamefaqs? 

UT2003 was made for open minded people like me.
