    "I agree with the everyone else. I have found very few points in which I disagree with you, Mr. Sessler, and the few that I do find are trivial personal opinions at best.

    Flat out saying this, I think You and X-Play are the only reason's I watch G4. Keep up the good work. And I, for one, ame very grateful for what you do for us."

    "Sorry for double post, but I just thought of this.

    Is it possible that the Online Multiplayer could be due to the X-Box/Live Updates coming this fall? Could that have been working to optimize the game with either new or old systems and may be hitting a snag?

    Either way, I still agree. Releasing a game with the promise that already announced features will be given later is a bad practice and a bad trend to follow."

    "Agreed Adam. I'd rather a developer take the time to make the game they want to make, rather than what they have when the release date comes around.

    Enter the Matrix - had most of its advertising done for itself, and came out during the height of the matrix series' popularity. What we got was a game that was huge (for the time), and full of bugs with horrible level design (amongst a myriad of other horrible design flaws)

    Half-Life 2 - delayed for over a year until its release, this game proved to be one of the best games for the PC ever. Even though gamers drooled over teaser trailers for over a year, and hated the fact that we couldn't play the game, we all loved the end result, because they took the time to make a great game.

    You made a great point Adam!"

    "Hi Adam!
    Sorry for taking up so much space. This one is the condensed version. I think that developers should release games when they are truly finished not on a specific deadline. If you aim for a date then you hurry through and make a lusy game and if you let out a game at a date before it is finished you get a lousy game that you wasted 60 bucks for. KOTOR2 is a perfect example it could have been great but it wasn't finished, if they had taken the time it would have been better than the original. But that's what's good about next-gen consoles by using Xbox Live& etc. you can send out a game that's finished except 4 a few minor things and add them in when there done with just an update. But as you said this is no excuse for developers to get lazy. You all have worked too hard to earn the Entertainment industrys respect& a few lazy developers could undermine all of our work."

    "Last time seriously
    I just wanted to say that I am a HUGE fan of the show and that I have been watching it since G4 T.V. was Tech T.V. and all that time X-Play has been my favorite show on the network.
    Keep doing what you do best!
    P.S. What happened to Morgan? She hasn't been on the show in a few days, just curious."
