Boo Hooo, is anyone really picking it up? I played the 1st for about 1 hour and took it right back.

@Usr666 Actually, I am.
I never played the first one but it seems like the biggest complaints were technical issues. But it really does seem like they're trying to make this one more polished.
I'm pretty excited for this and I really do hope it comes out nicely. :)

Fail fanboyism is fail.
The only thing 'improved' thing about it is they hinted it may come with some of the existing DLC.

A week before release? Wow.. That's some quality PR right there.
then it'll come out around the time as Dragon Age 2 and Witcher 2 and.. good luck competing with that. At least it could've stood a chance against Arcania. I was mildly interested in this, but they've been giving too much of the run around. Maybe divert less of their time to making unfunny ads and more to this 'magical QA' thing.

This is getting insane. Perhaps I will get Gothic 4 two.

extra time for "heavyweight quality assurance" so that the title is "absolutely flawless" for its launch
No sir. The first game was great because of how bad it was, so this one better not be "absolutely flawless" (though in all honesty it won't be).

This game will suck so bad... Like the orignal one.

Yeah, the port for PS3. Pretty sure it's coming in January.

A Two Worlds title that is "absolutely flawless" for its launch? Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say no.

You act like 14 Two Worlds games have come out and they were all horribly broken.

What the hell? I was going to ask for this for my birthday. Crysis 2 suffered the same fate. Two birthday presents that are now going to have to be pre-orders. :(

I'm not startled by this at all. The way I see it the more time to develop and improve the game, the better.
After the first Two Worlds game, this one NEEDS a good release.

This is actually good news for me. I was torn between TW2 and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, but ended up pre-ordering Enslaved for the tshirt and comic book.
Now I'll be able to pre-order TW2 in December and still get the bonuses :D

Are they having Alpha Protocol-esque problems with this title now?

This is actually a godsend.. Had it actually came out next week I'd never have even bothered with it, even though I wanted to. I was going to purchase Castlevania, then when New Vegas came out I was going to occupy my time with that. I had zero room for this rpg at the moment, and i'm sure there are others out there with the same opinion as me.

I'm actually really excited for this game. I love it when game developers put their all into a game. It seems they love this franchise, and they are determined to make it good. All the previews I've been reading sound great, and the game looks fantastic!
I'm glad it's been pushed back, because I've told myself I can only buy one game between now and Christmas (and that will be Black Ops). Currently saving money for the 3DS. Wish they'd tell us the price.

I also was really looking forward to this game but back when it's release date for the UK was Sept 17th. Now that it was clashing with Fallout; NV, Divinity 2(.5), Arcadia; Gothica 4 and SW;The Force Unleased 2 all in the same month I'm glad at least one of them is delayed and it only gives me TDU 2 also that month. Still, I'm annoyed it's delayed AGAIN! Didn't the first one also put gamers though the same turmoil? AND for the record, the glitches and bad scripts made it funny and freeky (I'm singing in the rain, lol). It worked for Evil Dead 1+2!

It's 2010 all over again! Which games will survive? Tune in next week to see who gets pushed off into next year!
I wonder how many 2011 releases will actually release in 2011.

I bought this game for 6 bucks. Played it for about 2 hours and stopped. but now I can say that I think I'm the only person who actually FORCED themselves to PLAY and BEAT it. I'm 3 achievements away from a full 1000. What possessed me? I don't know....It actually became fun.and I will be honest and say this. If you can get pass the TERRIBLE voices and the dialog that was even worse. The game wasn't that bad. The ability to create potions and gems to enhance your weapons out of plants and gems was pretty cool. The missions weren't repetitive and the enemies got a lil challenging. The Story wasn't awful but I'm sure only a few people finished the game to know that. As for the sequel I'm stoaked I have it pre-ordered and paid off. And I can't wait to get it. I played the demo they had at PAX and it is BEYOND better than the first one. So forget the first one ever existed.

Funny how the description in the side bar on this page says that its avaliable now, given that the topic of this article is its delay.
Me thinks Joystiq needs to update something.

The first one looked very cool to me but the reviews I read slayed it because of technical issues so I avoided it. I hope they fixed those issues for this game because I am very interested.
