why dont you boycott for a real reason rather than delays...like the fact that it wont be any good.

WHY?! localization its fast, but porting takes time =(



The_vagabond7 on 15 January 2009

...Localization is fast but porting takes time? ARE YOU FRIKKING SERIOUS? Localization isn't nearly as fast as you would think, especially for a game that will have as much text and vocal work as this one. Localization isn't just a matter of translate text, input text. A great deal of programming is still necessary, just ask the guys that did the Translation for Mother 3. Translating it is the easy part.

Well... Yeah. o_O



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

.....Facepalm. You're just looking for somebody to blame. You don't think they will even start any kind of porting process until the PS3 version is done and finished and sitting in a warehouse waiting to ship, but being held back buy a guy in a jacket with M$ printed on the back, standing in front of the shipping trucks with a wad of cash and a smug grin day and night? You're being very unrealistic. The hold up isn't the 360, it's that localization takes a long time.

I'm assuming you meant porting here, right? Otherwise I'm like so totally confused, lol.

OT: Was it ever actually given an official release date before this?

i think he meant there is much more to the localization than just translating.
