Steam still says May 15th for me.
It still *looks* quite good, but yeah, Shahadan's post really casts some doubt, coupled with the lack of reviews, as you said. Of course, no reviews until a game's release isn't surprising these days, and doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.
It certainly doesn't help the feeling of doubt we're all having with this game, though. I'll be picking it up in about an hour, and really don't want to open it. Dragon's Dogma will be replacing it if it turns out poorly.
I've had such high hopes for a video game set in the ASoIaF universe, and when I heard there was going to be a video game I was pretty excited. Then I saw who was making it, checked out their other works, and my excitement just died. Genesis was released, turned out to be a sub-par game, and now I have deep doubts about this one.
What do I have to eat if it turns good?
At best it'll be a okayish game I think, I don't really expect total Legendary the Box quality anyway (but mostly, yes).
Also let me know if the dogs from DA2 are still there!
A horse heart!
I was never expecting a great game, but I hope it turns out decent to good.
You know, your post casting all this doubt could turn out to be a good thing. With all of us bracing for complete and utter disappointment, there is nowhere to go but up. So, unless it turns out to be complete garbage, it will seem like a pleasant surprise, even if it is only decent.
Double checked and mine clearly says June 1st after a few F5s. Maybe I am my own Steam region now...
EDIT: Proof
Steam also says June 1st for me (Canada).
Edit: 30 more minutes!
Do I dare go and pick this up and midnight amidst the happy gamers picking up Diablo III?
Where them impressions at!?

weird, It's 1 June for Europe and 15 may for USA
^ taking just now from us steam
Edit: if they delay it to avoid getting completely destroyed by D3 then it's a smart move actually.
For the 5 people that are interested:
The game is available on Gamersgate for $35.99. If you have an IGN Prime account (giving you another 15% discount on Gamersgate) the game is $30.59. A lot better than $50 on Steam.

I may bite. Game is going to likely be Janky crap, but from the videos I watched the voice acting is decent, and I love the SOIAF books. I can probably squeeze $30 worth of fun out of this.

Well, I got it. Any impressions would be greatly appreciated!
You got it, you're suppose to be giving us the impressions. >_>
Oh, it is very tempting to open it up and pop it in. However, I have to be cheap here and leave it wrapped so I can return it if it sucks, and get Dragon's Dogma instead. Normally I'd have no qualms about just ripping it open and playing the shit out of it, but unfortunately I have had quite a few bills stack up (New tires for my car, registration, license renewal, etc) all at the same time. I don't have the cash to throw around on a possible bomb at full price. =(
What have you done, Shahadan?!
another one with the game,another one refused to open his copy...
smh
I know who to blame here

This really is kind of hilarious how no one wants to take the plunge.

Man... this setup looks stupid as hell. Training session with real weapons and blood spraying everywhere? Lol
but Direwolves/Wolves are Stark trademark, will be not right to see some non stark dude running with a wolf.

Pretty awful dialogue/voice acting, but the game itself doesn't look that bad.
Yeah, it is. Mors doesn't sound too bad, at least.
The dialogue is pretty cringe worthy. They probably tried too hard to emulate GRRM's style, and failed horribly.
Yes, but a more wolf-like dog or something. I don't think that's what stopped them.

It looks pretty decent to me, some kind of DA clone with a Westeros backstory.

CDProjekt Red needs to take a shot at creating a real GOT game
Yeah it look very decent ( I am surprised here actually), but the dialogue is indeed shit so far (guess translating from french to English hurt it? dunno).
but yeah hope is rising again. ( still waiting for reviews)
lol,poor dog.
maybe with keeping the dog the lead thought they can get DA's fans attention too I guess.

Character creation looks pretty deep, different classes, sub classes, attribute points, skill points, pick strength and weakness.
Which screams bad game design. The guy playing just illustrated it, it's annoying and most of that is probably useless. It was one of my friends complaints, too much shit you don't need just to look deep.

Textures look pretty shitty in the 360 version. I wonder if the PC version has higher-res assets?
Unlikely, yeah...
edit: I really hate how so many people who stream and do Let's Plays seem to have no attention spans. "Oh my god, so much talking!", "Blah, blah, blah!"

You really have a hate-on for this game.
Not at all, I was actually pretty excited to be proven wrong. But what I see is so ridiculous and is so much like I was told it's actually funny.
And I'm sorry, too much things and too much useless things = bad design.

Yeah, the same guy who's skipping dialogue left and right.
If you don't care about the story then there isn't much point to playing this game.
I don't really care about this game either way. I suppose your friends really colored your expectations of the title. Any reason why they were so quick to trash their own work? Even if I made a bad game I don't think I would be badmouthing it before it even released.
many older and classic RPGs do have these many things (sub classes,advantages and weakness..ect) and even more stuff.
and the stream look decent to be honest.

Yup, I've seen enough, definitely getting it. The story is interesting, I want to know more about R'hllor and the Red Priest's religion.
