Latest PC Gamer Date FYI

#1 23-09-2003, 09:07 PM

Well the latest PC Gamer Nov 2003 Vol 10 No 11 that I just pulled from the mailbox has no additional information on HL2. In its release column it does have a date of 11/19/03.

I am just saying what the mag has published just in case anyone wants to know so they dont pay money for the bagged CD version hoping just to get HL2 info.

Yeah, I got mine yesterday. I noticed that as well. I don't know how accurate they are with their dates, I think that they just pull their info from games sites, like EB and Gamestop though.

That worries me slightly. PC Gamer tries to be a pretty upstanding publication.

And why would they have 11/19 listed when they are the ones who BROKE the story with the 9/30 release date attached?

It says right there that Norman gets them from the internet.

You never know, magazines got HL2 info well before the rest of the world.

They're just being realistic...

*crosses fingers and prays to St Gabe that 30/9 is true*

*upon realising it is probably released not on 30/9, shakes fist in general direction of VALVe HQ*

PC Gamer is as clueless as the rest of us. If they had solid information then they'd say so. Lack of attribution leads me to believe that this is another "ass date" as in "pulled out of".

Yes I do. Only while doing homework. Is that a problem?

Do I need to reiterate myself?

Does anyone who posts those delayed messages really read other delayed messages and the replies made to those on this board? I mean, come on, I've read a whole lot of them stating something like "Yeah, my pc-shop says it will be 12 december", or some other date. When all these places give different dates, why bothering posting them here? The only true word will still come from Valve, even if it's NOT released on the 30th.

Just my 2 cents...
