foogledricks Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Am I weird for LIKING when games get delayed, so that I can play out my existing games without the nagging feeling that the next best thing has been released? For example, right now, I am horribly neglecting DOAU, haven't played Halo 2 in a week, and am nursing a play through of Ninja Gaiden's hurricane pack while competing in a NHL 2K season. I don't need Doom 3 or Jade Empire messing that up! Not to mention I wish to borrow Metroid Prime 2 and eventually buy Resident Evil 4. Am I just slow, or does everyone on this forum have more time than I. When did a game delay make you happy? Btw, was going to make this a poll, but I don't think I have the permission to make a poll. Am I being oppressed by the LCVG titans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlot Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'm with you! Delays are fine and dandy by me. Currently, I play Halo2 many nights a week, just got back into DOAU, and started playing Wind Waker again (had to start new since it's been over a year). I have others collecting dust that I neglected and would like to finish (like Ninja Gaiden). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have to admit to being relieved that some of the games I was interested in that were scheduled to come out last Nov/Dec were pushed back. There's only so many games I can play at once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'd be relieved (as would my wallet) if a few games from March got pushed back to June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I won't be ready for Conker until Halo 2's downloadable content has been played out, which at this point looks like that may be in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I don't mind so much either for a lot of the resons listed allready. I also don't mind if they to need to do it to fix bugs with said game I was dissopointe a bit with Halo 2 with the bump mapping issues of the cut scenes givin the long delay of the game... same with the lag issues of KOTR II.

Cyberwoo Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I dont mind games being delayed especially when it means the game is being fine tuned to be the best game it can be. A current example would be Forza Motorsport for Xbox. This is my most highly anticipated game at the moment. I would be very happy to be able to play it asap but I dont mind the delays because I know the team working on the game is passionate about making the best racing game they can make. So I hope they take their time and release one kickass game with no bugs and tons of cool features. The same could be said about the Half-Life 2 delays. It was by far my most eagerly anticipated game but I knew Valve was working hard at creating what I now consider to be one of the best games ever. I also agree that it is nice to be able to catch up on your current crop of games and other forms of entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyVolpe Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Am I weird for LIKING when games get delayed, so that I can play out my existing games without the nagging feeling that the next best thing has been released? I have enough games to keep me occupied for 2 or 3 years. If a game I want gets delayed, it's of no consequence to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the same boat. So am I wrong to say I want things to come out as early as possible so by the time I need something newer to play, they've already had a price drop or two?

JTello Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Well, here it is, the decenting opinion! I don't want any game to be delayed unless it's delayed for true improvement or to avoid bugs. My reasoning for not wanting delays? Well, if a title is released and I'm playing other titles, I'm more than happy to pick the title up a few months later, when new game has probably seen a price drop! I'd rather let other people pay the release price. There are a very select few titles that I feel the need to purchase at release. I will say that if a hot release is primarily experienced via Xbxox Live, and I fear missing out on the initial wave of online play, a delay might also be welcome.
