Shouldn't companies be shipping "perfect" games anyway?

DrPepper4399d ago

well it seems by that statement they pretty much deserve to be in the position they are in. i just feel bad for all the people that will possibly lose their jobs thanks to the decisions of these corporate assholes.

badjournalism4400d ago

Well that confirms South Park will never ship. Should have gotten anyone other than Obsidian on it...

noxeven4400d ago

if there gonna release why not just do download release instead of retail same themselves some cost

majiebeast4399d ago

Well who ever thought making Udraw for ps3 and 360 was a good idea basicly killed the company.

Reborn4399d ago

Can't stand when these corporate people talk about layoffs. It's your blatant BS that caused it. Least accept your bonus loving pals, have caused the damage. Common sense could tell that THQ wouldn't last long. Not going they way they were.

Darksiders 1 is the better game but I like part 2 as well.

Daver1651d ago

Darksiders was a lot better than darksiders 2. Even darksiders 3 was better than 2

Darksiders 1 is a complete game but it’s obvious with Darksiders 2 they ran out of budget after the Ice world and the game just becomes a poorly paced mess.
