What a god awful decision, they actually chose to directly compete with the most and best games possible... who made such a stupid decision?

I mean I probably would have picked this up simply from the title if it released in a slow week/month, but I am almost fatigued already and the hevey releases are still to come...!

But Lair's been getting 5s 6s and 7s which would be lower than the predicted 6s and 7s.

I guess the developers hate their game, cause MC is going to destroy it.

Happy delays all around!

In an unrelated event, I got a "new" game at Gamestop today and it has writing on the manual, it's not in original wrapping, and the disk is scratched. Yet I paid full price. I feel like an idiot. Must be my fault for trusting Gamestop.

I want to like this game. It has a god of war meets Two towers/return of the king(ps2 games) look to it. They probably needed to tune down the blazing swords, and what you collect from those you kill. It kind of gives it a cheesy look.

"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth..." unispired Fernando? Really? Conan predates Tolkiens fantasy world. Have you ever read any of Robert Howards Conan stories, or Dark Horses comic? Really good buddy...give it go, Conan (and Howards Kull) created the silent badass archetype that is teh master chief and kratos.

When are these Devs gonna actually use some creativity. I mean why Conan? Why now? Who cares about this character, this crap is not going to sell. Who approved this game they need to get fired and come uo with something original.

You do realize that Conan is one of the first barbarian type characters in modern literature, right? And that the author who created Conan (Robert E. Howard) pretty much created the so-called "Swords and Sorcery" genre in the 1930's. Of course you do.

And that new release date only applies to Europe. It's still October 23 for the US.

Im not defending the game I am pointing out that your opinion that this character is not relevant and that nobody cares for said character is wrong and uniformed. Are you calling ME a nerd? Did u not put marcus fenix as ur pic and use him in your screen name? ha.

Who approved this game they need to get fired and come uo with something original. People who read the VERY popular and well recieved comic? People who are older than 20, or read? Most guys who grew up in the 70s or 80s? People who liked the Arnold films? I dont know i guess nobody...

@ Fernando

I'll give you a break since you seem to post before your brain realizes what you are doing sometimes.

Conan is an absolutely classic character created by Robert E Howard in the 30s. He was pretty much the first swords n babes fantasy character ever.

Calling Conan the most uninspired character ever is pretty ignorant.

Now this game on the other hand...

Poor IP selection aside, the bumping up of the release date worries me more. Most developers say they could always use more time.

The only rationale I can see for releasing it on the 28th is the higher shelf space exposure to the Halo fans. But that doesn't translate into more incramental sales, does it? Me thinks not.

Best idea for a game ever! (In the 80's at least.)

Actually, the MMO had me curious, this version not so much. Conan was a badass and all, but right now it will be in the shadow of too many other characters to have much in the ways of sales.

At first I looked at the pics and thought "meh". But after seeing the video, I think I'm going to rent. I think it looks pretty good if those were in game fighting scenes and not CG.

I'll be giving the game a rental, but my expectations aren't high.

It's a sad thing, but I expect this IP will never be given the proper attention it deserves.

Conan should be featured in a true God of War calibur game both in terms of storytelling and gameplay. Not something rushed to market as a weak last ditch effort to save the bottom line. (Which I suspect this will be.)

Hopefully I'll be surprised.
