Bummer. I was really looking forward to this game....it promised to be a little different than the norm. Still, I'd rather have it arrive polished and fixed than bug-ridden, so delay is good. The Creative Assembly should take notes!

"There was a PCGamer or Eurogamer piece on that; they simply have the teams doing the console versions first, PC versions last. so there usually is a delay because of that." - RockPaperShotgun
As I said. When the console version is validated, the PC version works but is buggy. They debug the PC version last with a deadline because it is literally an unending feat.

Well you know Ubi with Delaying games. Its just marketing. More Pre-orders mean more surefire income. I hate it how money just runs Triple-A games today...
They wanted to make the holiday season but missed it. The same thing happened to Mass Effect 3. The last two months of the year is where more than 50% of the retail sales happens. To miss out on that can prove very costly. Delaying a game has little to no impact on pre-orders because these are people that already committed to buying the game.

Was REALLY looking forward to this, but I've got so many games to play I'm not really disappointed. If they are really taking the time to polish it, go for it. I'd rather that then have it buggy and annoy the shit out of me.

Oh. Yeah there is a trend happening that most AAA games come out at the end of the year. It makes me confused on how people decide the game of the year since most of it are released at its end -.-

Yeah and the push back will likely be time well spent. Ubi has a lot on their plate, they need to learn to pace themselves instead of coming out with initial unrealistic timelines with their first trailers. Same applies of course with The Division.

I like the story, characters, setting, and gameplay features of Watch Dogs. Can't wait to play this.

I think I would have liked Splinter Cell if they didn't push Mike Ironside away. Without his voice, and Sam Fisher's original face, the new Sam Fisher in body and voice looks like a walking joke. Body of a 25 year old, voice of a 25 year old, HAIR OF A GOD DAMN 60 YEAR OLD.


looooooooll i had this expression when i played the game i bought the game install and can't wait to launch soon it did i was looking and hearing the first word i said WTF!

:D they like totally ruin the series by changing that, !
