Anyone else get the feeling of the next Duke Nukem Forever? It kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed and..... I'll stop now. >_<

Duke Nukem Forever got delayed for 14 years, Cyberpunk 2077 for less than a year, I don't think it's comparable.

yeah this was my first thought. dnf also went through different developers and engines. as frustrating as these delays are, it just makes me more confident that we'll get a very polished and complete product. they aren't fucking around by putting out an unfinished game.

Yep, CD projekt red proved they can deliver competent games, it's their biggest project yet so it's understandable they want to take their time.

What? No. That's a terrible hyperbole and neither situation is remotely close to each other.

to compare the two games is just ridiculous given that cdpr has built a reputation based on delivering quality games, each more ambitious than the one before.

let them release it when they are happy with it. no need to go full bethesda. never go full bethesda.

CDK Project takes progress on the Covid-19 free days.
They care about their staff and that I can respect.

Oh nooooo!!
I actually booked a full week of vacation from work, right after the September release date. Just so I could play it immediately. Well, guess I'm gonna play something else that week. I still got 3 or 4 unplanned days, maybe I can spent a few in November.
But I get it. I prefer a great game later over a good game sooner.

"I actually booked a full week of vacation from work, right after the September release date."
This is something people do? Plan their vacation day on the release date of a videogame, in a time when games get delayed all the time and when the releases game is often very buggy?

No, I usually don't do that. I just had no idea what to do with my spare vacation days. And I had to plan most of them a while ago. So I went through my calender and noticed that I didn't book any vacation days from like August til December. So I planned to put some into September and some into October or November. And then I realized that the Cyberpunk 2077 release was basicly the only thing in my life happening in September, so I thought "Why not?"
The thing is: Most events got canceled because of Corona. So I had way more unplanned vacation days than I actually needed.

Different strokes for different folks. I've personally never done it, but I wouldn't knock someone who does. None of us are perfect, let people enjoy what they enjoy.

it's fine, there's 999999 more games to play while we wait.

This. Plus I'd rather they get it right than rush something out that is not finished. They have the luxury of not being forced by some big publisher to not have their product rushed to market before it's finished.

And let's be honest, we're waiting a year MINIMUM after release to actually play it.

Good, let them make their game without bugs and day one patches, with maximum content available. I have already huge backlog of games that i should be playing anyway.

So much for the assurances the game was done and there wouldn't be any further delays.
Comment has been collapsed.
this is still not the definitive date as i see it, it's another prediction, they say it's finished when it's finished. I'm ok with it. Just do it properly

It is good that they aren't launching the game too early and want to do extensive testing and make the needed changes. That doesn't mean the game will be free of issues though but hopefully it be in a better state than what it would be in if they launched too soon.
There's a lot of devs who don't like giving dates for this reason. To be honest it probably will be pushed back further than November 19th, so it's really best to look at the date as an ETA rather than the actual launch date. They are kinda stuck with giving a constant date as not providing one moving forward and using something like "No ETA at this time" will make things look even worse to many.

Better delayed than released as early access or something.

CDPR did not released (officially) the min/recomended req's, so probably they still are working on optimzations.
Also (if you like "conspiracy" theories) may think that the previous official announced delay on Stadia launch ((later misteriously erased fron the site lol) have something to do with this new delay for everyone else.

I still wonder what is the game the journalist are playing. Is it full game? Is it like a copy for a review 5 months before release? Or? That's the only thing that actually bothers me and I can't come up with the answer that does not rise more questions

damn . it made me sad ... i`m so hype for this game considering the CDPR is one of the best developers

So the game got delayed again until 19th of November, but they are distributing copies for journalist around the world starting this week.
Rather interesting. What do you think about this?
