I mean, if you want to completely ignore the AC: Unity shitstorm, you'd be right...

Looks great. Looking forward to the triple dip.

The publishers of Dying Light are probably breathing a sigh of relief.
Anyone else actually looking forward to Dying Light more than GTA5?
No one? Ok.

The vast majority of people, including myself, would disagree with you.
You are really mad about the delay of a video game that you have not paid for and thus is not owed to you.
Developers of Bloodborne are shaking now.
You would be objectively wrong but hey, would not be the first time.

Thankfully I have hundreds of unplayed Steam games to help me pass the time.
I can't believe anyone thought it would actually launch on the 27th and are surprised by this, we've had no real news on the pc version and we were so close to the original release date. The overreaction is hilarious, some of you are acting like this is some huge deception and insult, it just needs more time- big deal.
Can't wait to see who will break the magical 100gb as a minimum required hdd space.
Probably by the end of this gen.
How so? Chances are those who have a PS4 already bought GTAV and will buy Bloodborne instead of the PC version to play it again on a higher quality.
They're fine.

Kneejerk reaction. I've been waiting for this game since it was announced and I'm sick of waiting. Nothing I can do, I guess. I very rarely buy new games, so I guess I'll just keep working on my backlog until then

Less shite than shite can still be shite.
I am. I've played through GTA5 twice and still working on the PS4 version. Not really as excited about the PC version anymore after playing PS4. Dying Light looks like a fantastic zombie game and what Dead Island should have been. Real excited to play it.

The next Doom, powered by Idtech6 and glorious megatexture 2.0.
The game will be 5 hours long.
I can't pull sarcasm off well can I? lol

Lotta people in this thread have a whoooole lot of faith in capitalism (aka "the hype machine" [see also: "the hype train."])
Boosh! Love the ad hominem, great way to follow up after the personal anecdotes. What's next, good buddy?

I'm ok with this. My new PC was built for this in part, but I'm so busy catching up on other stuff I could barely run before that I don't care.
That 65GB though. I knew my 250GB Steam SSD would need a partner eventually... might happen earlier than planned now. Mostly I'm hoping my ISP has this on their freezone mirror.

Not as mad as I am disappointed about the delay itself, but Rockstar's PR department regarding the topic of delays (especially considering the company delays almost everything they ever announce) really needs some work.
Is it really so difficult to not promise a release date in the first place? That would be 100% better than what they currently do. Fans should be pissed, I don't blame anyone who is.

How do people who get mad at delays manage to like video games without having an aneurysm?
You have paid Rockstar zero dollars, they owe you zero things.

Rockstar's handling of the announcements is the thing to be mad about here. People plan around game releases.

If you plan your life around the releases of video games, you are broken and sad.
Shoulda waited to request that day off work.
Bullshit.
You need money to buy games, and time to play them.
Nothing wrong with planning ahead, doesn't mean a delay will destroy your life, but it is annoying.

Do you know where you are? Since you clearly don't think gaming is a valid hobby, there's probably not much point in arguing with you - but - yes, people plan their 'lives' around video game releases, whether that is hardware upgrades or entire builds, not spending money in anticipation of buying a game on a certain month, taking time off work etc.
I'm sorry that you think there's something wrong with people like that.
Well it wasn't so far off when compared to the news for the ng console release, we had a post about "exclusive content" three weeks before launch and some rumors about new the FP(S) mode and before that a post about two months before release, other than that the news cycle had been pretty much the same between console and PC. So saying it wasn't a surprise is an understatement.
And not all people are reacting to the delay itself, but to the way Rockstar handled the news and left it to last possible moment to reveal.

Ah, the good ol' 'PC gamers, eh?' But you know, look at how some other studios handled their late ports, like Ground Zeroes or Dead Rising 3. They actively communicated with PC gamers right there on Steam, showed early footage, asked for expectations and opinions. I know this is unheard of in console land and thus a strange concept to some but you can be a tad more open than Rockstar which will generate a ton of goodwill.

Dead Rising 3 is a horrible PC port.
Is it an actual bad PC port or does it just do crazy things with the NPC count? I'll probably play it when I upgrade my PC.
It launched pretty bad with a lot of crashes. It's pretty decent now.

The X1 version was a technical mess to begin with so I'm not sure they could've done much better. But I wasn't really talking about the end result and more about all those weird comments implying PC gamers should shut up and stop being difficult when so far Rockstar has done little to earn our confidence.
You'll need serious horse power to not run into performance problems and sometime it's not apparent why that is.
It'll do well regardless, but January would've been a great time to release when there's nothing coming out this month. I don't care much about Rockstar games, but I might've been tempted to pick it up during the zeitgeist.
Now it'll be put on the backburner for a Steam sale pickup while I dig into Bloodborne.

I'm happy to let it bake a few extra months. We've already waited a long time, a little more won't hurt, especially if it means the game will be better optimized as a result.

Rockstar's games are never dubbed. There is only english.
Not sure what movies you mean. The cutscenes are all real time.
