I thought Kotor 2 was a really awesome game, yet years later and many forum opinions accounted for, it went down in history as unfinished, rushed, and lacking in content.

nice try, it was great regardless

I agree. But my perceptions at the time, didn't take in to the account that the game was actually unfinished and actually had some glaring flaws, and even the article on Wookiepedia and Wikipedia addresses this. The whole point is that the reality of the game is more important, than the players perception. Kotor 2 is great, and it's even better with the restoration patch.

KotOR 2 is definitely more interesting than the original boring one.

It's the last phase of production when everyone looks like this:

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Just another reason never to work in the abhorrent pile of shit that is the AAA games industry. Crunch time is an unfortunate necessity in a lot of projects (not just software, as I can attest to, being employed in market research), unpredictable shit can happen, bad luck can crap all over your schedules if enough random shit goes against you, and sometimes you can't move the deadline due to external factors.

But these idiots have internalized it to such an extent that they basically put the crunch period in their initial project schedule, and even boast about it on Twitter. Do you guys know any other industry where someone talks about forcing their employees into sustained (and often unpaid ) overtime in a positive way?

This was framed at the entrance of a advertisement agency I worked once.

The financial industry is apparently miles worse than software when it comes to overtime and other demands made on the employees.
There difference is that the finance folks get paid enough money that they can retire at 30....

 

[felipepepe]

Yeah, I know of people that went throught a INSANE crunch in the finantial industry, but afterwards got a bonus of 250k dollars...

If you're a broker alternatively a salesman "consultant" in corporate or private banking, a very, very good one. Other than that though even if you keep getting ridiculous bonuses from exceeding sales targets and commission fees, you'll never make enough for retirement at 30-something.

As far as working overtime is concerned I had a boss when I was an intern at one bank, the boss of my boss to be exact, who lectured two new retail "consultants" on what he expects. He came three days in a row and interrupted their training for two to three hours each day, to deliver his sermon. He said there is nothing wrong with the fact that he has to work at least two hours unpaid overtime every day because that's how much work he has, and he expects no less from every subordinate. Needless to say during my entire internship there I have not met even one person, including my direct superior, who wouldn't be utterly depressed by working at that bank. Although I'm surprised my superior didn't ditch that place, such a good manager went to waste working for corporate "suitist scum" like his boss. Could find work as a manager in some less soul-crushing field easily. Then again he was probably tied down by mortgage or something.

Employment in financial institutions, I avoid it whenever I can.

As much as the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 might suffer from the delay of Ubisoft's Watch Dogs, that may seem minor compared to the impact to the publisher itself. Ubisoft's shares have taken a pounding today, with the company's stock trading down 22 percent as of this writing.

Watch Dogs had been expected to be one of the biggest attractions for the next-generation systems, an open-world game based on a new intellectual property available at launch for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. That was until yesterday, when Ubisoft announced it was pushing back Watch Dogs to spring of 2014 because it wasn't yet ready for launch.

The Watch Dogs delay may be the most disappointing news for gamers, but it was just one of a number of Ubisoft setbacks for investors. The publisher also pushed its open-world racing game The Crew into the next fiscal year, and revealed that recent releases Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist failed to meet the company's sales expectations. Those factors put together were reason enough for Ubisoft to lower its full-year sales forecast more than €400 million, or about 30 percent.

[CORRECTION]: The original version of this article contained a mistaken share price (although the percentage decline was accurate). Ubisoft shares ended the trading day down 26 percent to $8.19.

I knew Ubisoft's luck couldn't last forever. Hope it doesn't affect Might & Magic X.

 

[Hornawkawk]

Death to Ubisoft and all its fans!
