We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
i'm just saying this company will continue to abuse their employees and as long as this game needs patching/updates esp. for next-gen support... it's not going to change.
Haha, yeah, right. A bottle of wine and a tap on the shoulder probably.
Never thought it would be delayed even when it had gone gold…
I mean, how buggy would the 1.0 version be?

You just reminded me of when I worked in tech support, an update caused huge mess up that increased calls into us by like thousands of percent our normal, we were working like mad scrambling to take the calls. The sr manager kept sending us emails about how we were doing good work and thanking us for us putting up with this and saying that the company was going to compensate us with some food after this all got better. When it was all said and done, and they let us pick what kind of food we wanted, he came back saying that it was too costly and we never did get anything in return.
Fuck I hated that place
From a selfish point of view I'm fine with this. Gives me more time digging into AC Valhalla and a few other games.
But on another note, what the hell is going on at CDPR. The game has gone gold but is being delayed a few more weeks?

He spends all year planning this for a December show. And in this case they're doing it from three locations (LA, Tokyo and London).
I would imagine he's addressing the massive amount of hate and criticism he got for daring to report on the crunch in the first place. I mean just look at the twitter responses to his earlier tweets
Buggy enough that they were already crunching their assess off post-gold to try and scrape together a day 1 patch.
You say that like someone who recently had the same issues with their own game on the OG consoles *cough*, lol. :D
I never understood how they possibly planned to get the world we saw in that gameplay demo 2-3 years ago to work on the original consoles, and was actually concerned when they confirmed it was a current-gen game.
Is this the first documented case of a game that went gold and THEN got delayed again? Man alive.
I'm sure the end product will be great, but I think CDPR also need to reckon with their working conditions after this ships. They can't keep grinding their devs into dust like that.
While I agree that awards shows should wait until the following year, TGA has always been in December, and Geoff isn't gonna wait just because CDPR sucks as a company.
At this point, any release date they give us feels exactly like the meaning of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
I wonder how bad their stock price is tanking right now?
Sleep research postdoc here. I've done that amount of hours for almost certainly less than half the pay and zero benefits. It does suck.
i guess you didn't see the last cyberpunk crunch drama
I mean it's a single player game. So you could start it whenever you feel like. A delay just hurts.
as some have mentioned, it seems they probably get a preliminary "gold" with the promise that their patches would be approved but they weren't.
I just wish they would stop giving release dates, until the discs are burned.
Off-topic: Plus God of War 2 already seems to have very tight schedule considering how the previous game was released early 2018. Wouldn't be surprised one bit of the game slips into 2022.
It's going to be like that FFXV port they did.
And it's still going to run at just about double digits FPS.
Grand Theft Auto V was delayed several times.
On its own, the PC version was delayed three times:
November 18 2014 ➡ January 27 2015 ➡ March 24 2015 ➡ April 14 2015
Granted, I'm really looking forward to the game and am trying to build a new PC for it, but this game is just going to be a massive trash fire at launch isn't it? I feel bad for the people who will be playing this on current gen consoles.
Potentially a LOT. You can really only work efficiently on optimizations if the game is mostly done, otherwise it's a moving target. Been there, done that. I'm pretty sure they're still polishing up content and usually you have artists / designers do some crazy shit that'll make the perf go bananas and then Tech / QA needs to find out why there are regressions and fix that stuff. Testing this game must be a nightmare (especially considering they're shipping on 9 platforms (and yes, it's 9 platforms now, the mid-gen refresh certainly didn't make developers lives easier), so I'm not surprised they're struggling over there.
I'd say be kind and try to think of what the folks at CDPR must be going through right now. It's insanely hard to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and then hear yet again that they're not gonna hit that target. Snark and cynicism is the last thing you wanna read about your work when you're in these dire straits - every dev has been there and the best thing gamers can do is to at least find some encouraging words. Shipping is hard, really, really hard, especially if you're a talented team trying to do something amazing.
Fuck this. I wish I could cancel my pre order but I purchased the limited edition console and got the game as a pack in.
Any excitment I had is gone.

in the last 30 mins down about 60 cents a share and falling.

I very much doubt it lol, remember when they tried to pass off the bonus they would get due to them crunching so hard but it turned out to be the normal amount they would have gotten anyway lol?
Trash company is trash and doesn't care
That's just your opinion. I could say the same about Trauma Porn Part 2. The reality is that all of them are critically acclaimed and beloved games, just AC had a bigger impact in pop culture.
Hey CDPR, how about a delay to early 2021so you can give your devs 1-2 weeks of time off during the Holidays, as we all know the 2 weeks+ after release for this kind of AAA ow game are more crunch to quash bugs/ implement features that didn't make it?
No?
Yeah, who am I kidding.
I feel so sorry for the devs...
No?

I feel like it's going to be pretty polished.
Can't wait - take you're time guys.
Lol!
Why am I not surprised?
Also, crunch is bullshit. Always has been, always will be. Studios need to stop overworking their employees. Period. It's never worth it in the end, and the toll it takes on the team has long term ramifications that don't just vanish once the project is finished.
This delay is disappointing, but I'm more annoyed that the team has been forced to crunch with the excuse being that they were working hard to go gold and finish the game, but in the end, it's just some bullshit. I'd rather have them delay the game for as long as it takes if it means the team gets to have a health work life balance. And this is one of my most anticipated 2020 titles. There's plenty to play while I wait for the game to finally release.
Do right by your fucking employees first, CD Projekt.

True I didn't even try until they released the "complete" edition.
wonder if demon souls will be in low stock as i'm sure a lot of people now need something to play on their ps5
