Can THQ survive till next gen?

After the rushed, half-empty and ultimately mediocre Darksiders 2 with its latest DLC being half an hour long, I'm not on the best of terms with THQ at the moment.

The South Park RPG is something to look forward to from them, if they've given Obsidian enough time to finish it properly. Obsidian have been forced to rush most of the games they've ever made, Kotor 2, Alpha Protocol and Fallout New Vegas all had development time slashed by the publishers.

THQ have been circling the drain for years, and if it weren't for the huge success of Saints Row the Third, they would have gone bust by now, and the less said about the UDraw, the better.

They should have more than enough time with the huge delay. South Park is one of my most anticipated games, so I was pissed about the news, but I suppose the longer wait can only make for a better product in the long run.

Darksiders 2 had so much potential, But ultimately had nothing to do with Darksiders one, It barely added anything to the story aside from the Nephelim. Too many Puzzles and a lot of the loot you obtained wasn't very different from your current equipment. The end Boss reminded me a lot of an enemy From Kingdom Hearts. It was really disappointing, wanted it to be so much more epic considering you were playing as Death, The Grim Reaper. Its a Shame.

Don't really care about many of their games, except the next Metro game because this sort of thing is my bag, baby, but I don't want them to die as consumers will lose out I reckons.

THQ are doing silly things if I remember, I'm sure the article goes into how they sold off their sports stuff, and seem to be avoiding GTAV with the delays of their most intriguing games - though I think they are delaying them to coincide with its release, suicide if you ask me. I hope they don't disappear, but get bought by someone. Yes, EA may seem evil but I can see them buying THQ, and I think peoples jobs and the games actually seeing the light of day take precedent over what corporation owns them.
