JimboUK Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Usually when people delay, it's because that there are issues so serious that warrents the game being moved up the release date. I don't think that it is appropriate for people to go on and be happy for the delay when it could be very serious issues with the current builds. I hope that they can use the time effectively to create a game that utilises the PC more effectively than it's predecessor and hits their deadline. Otherwise, don't take the delay as a good sign. The problem we have today is games with very serious issues are still being pushed out the door, some obviously unfinished, so a delay can be a good thing. CD Projekt do make an effort to get it right first time with further patches being improvements and additional content rather than fixes for a broken release. EA did the same thing with Mass Effect 3 and the game was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ermagerd somebody else things Mass Effect 3 was great! *sobs with joy* The ending led to it being the victim of extreme nerd rage but I don't see how anyone can fault the rest of it.

hector530 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 As long as they don't release the mod tools 2 years after launch like witcher 2 I can see it having a healthy mod community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant0 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Regarding delays being a "good" thing, I would point to Duke Nukem Forever... Delayed for a little over a decade during which time it came through a handful of engine changes and revisions resulting in a game that pretty much nobody liked. Or, Spore... Which was delayed and re-tuned in order to appeal to a wider audience. While a delayed release date can occasionally be good to have more polish or content in the game, it can also allow marketing and publishers to really dig their claws into the game and suppress or remove those elements they aren't too thrilled about.

hoofhearted4 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 delayed and put on hiatus are two different things also a delay and multiple delays are different. and a delay without a date and a delay with a date are different still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ermagerd somebody else things Mass Effect 3 was great! *sobs with joy* I'm not saying that delays are always bad, only that there is something extremely serious to warrent that delay. I like ME3 but I wouldn't call the ME series the paragon of story telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beriallord Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The delay could have something to do with them optimizing the game for consoles, and isn't PC related at all. Maybe they're having issues with the SDK for the Xbone? MS recently released a new improved SDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
