Why wont this game come out already. wasn't it scheduled for the 15th of may now i'm seeing 23rd of may. It may only be a week but the wait is killing me. meanwhile the pc version has been out all month long.

does anyone know why it keeps getting pushed back?

hehe after i read the reviews this game is sounding quite similar to project ego. and i am really looking forward to project ego. so it looks like imma have to go and pick up morrowind asap =P
i am also really looking forward to this game because i hate games where i cannot find out what to do next. this game looks like it will never matter.

If it doesn't matter what you do next then whats the point of doing it in the first place. I'll have to wait and see what morrowind is like b/c im broke as a joke.

Don't you realize that is the trend with XBOX games. Why do we have to continue to get 2nd's and 3rd's when it comes to releases. Now even the PC is getting 1st priority over XBOX. Everytime they give us a release date it's pushed back, and back, and back. What's going on? I wouldn't mind so much if they were actually using that extra time to take advantage of the so called "xbox capabilities" as they all claim they do on the game descriptions. But that is not the case. We know what our box can do. Bunjie showed us that. Just shut up and do it already. Personally I don't think it matters one bit how much more powerful the system is if Microsoft ain't gonna make em use it for crying out loud. If I wanted all my games to look like PS2 games I'd buy a freakin PS2 and get all the games a month earlier.
Now am I right or am I right?

I read at the official morrowind forums that Morrowind is in Microsofts hands and they are testing for bugs. EBgames said Morrowind is due on the 21st of May.

Well in Morrowind's case.. PC should have priority..
Elder Scrolls is a PC game.. and when Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind came about.. they decided to make an XBox version also..

And just about every other game that Xbox is getting 2nd or 3rd is because the games were designed for another system first.

Partly because Xbox is still new.. soon and it has already started games will start being developed for Xbox first..

...I hope anyway. I preordered my copy today at Software Etc. When I asked them when it is going to be released, they said that they get it next week!

Is this reliable? I really hope so! I don't see why not. They obviously ordered it and are probably eagerly tracking it on ups.com every day! Of course, they could have ben BSing me, but I instincts tell me they weren't.

That's not true for Morrowind. The PC and Xbox versions were finished at the exact same time. The only reason the Xbox one isn't out yet is because it has to go through Microsoft testing. On PC, you simply release a product when you think it's sufficiently ready, or when the publisher forces you to. With a console, you have to go through quality control.

I've got it preordered at gamestop and they said it will be out on the 24th.

If they moved it to the 6th I'm gonna be really ****ed off.

That's what I been saying. We get second rate treatment when it comes to to game releases and options everytime. I just hope Morrowind comes out soon cause if Hunter, Major League Baseball(Sega), Outlaw Golf, and Test Drive come out first, this game might end up a rental for those tired of waiting.

EB Games.com now says the 31st, but that just sounds like one of thier temporary dates. June 6 sounds realistic.

They cant decide on one release date and they keep changing it , they need to decide on one day and realease it .it aint that hard.

If the delays are due to problems with the game, it's better to have them fixed now and wait, than to be disappointed(because of bugs or whatever) with this game as good as it should be.
Grab World Series Baseball while you wait, it's off the hook.

no it wont because you cant have any mods and it doesnt have the TES construction set. I heard there will be a MOD for bug fixes. But the xbox version is easier to play because the controller and all. The controls for the pc sux bad.

Okay if you says so. I have it on the PC. What's wrong with the controls? They seem pretty basic to me. If you play games on the PC the controls shouldn't be hard to learn or anything.

well I read a review and the game site said they suck and they said some of them, it was some crappy site like gamemania.com, nothing like ign or gamespot.
