From sitting down and typing?

And too much brain usage.

 

[SlicedBread3]

From sitting down and typing?

Errm... Yeah.

There's a reason people who spend all their time in front of games aren't normally the Chads of the world.

 

[MisterBrimstone]

Errm... Yeah.

There's a reason people who spend all their time in front of games aren't normally the Chads of the world.

But they sure are the ch4ds of the digital world. I can't recount the amount of times they fucked my whole female lineage with their 30+ cm dicks.

 

[Starstruck]

I'll play on regular ps4, so I'm ok with the delay, sorry guys

 

[OsirisBlack]

Called it in the other thread

 

[DonJorginho]

How fucking dare you be okay with a delay, you degenerate piece of curdled foreskin, I hope your PS4 catches fire and you lose your home, then the insurance company gets liquidated so you're left with nothing but your body to sell for cash and a melted Cyberpunk case.

All love homie

 

[MrS]

No one forced them to do any of that. Either skip current gen or STFU and do your job (crunch).

Totally agree with this. Launching with 9 versions of the game in a pandemic where a lot of your staff work from home is completely stupid and reeks of project mismanagement. They should have focused on specific versions and delayed the others. Launching on PS5/XSX/XSX and PC would have been ideal.

 

[Jakk]

........did you just "i know you are but what am I" jr?

I honestly have no idea what are you even trying to say.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

"at the end"

That's terribly optimistic. I have a feeling it will start at the beginning of next gen.



Sometimes it's better to just cut your losses and look forward instead. These consoles only drag the experience down, for the users and for the crunching developers. Not everything should be about money.

"Not everything should be about money"

That sounds nice in some fairy tale or something, but this is a for profit company, with investors to answer to, out to make money.

Edit - funny to see all the mental gymnastics going on here with some fantastical ideas on how they could better run a company with 1000+ employees just so they can have their game release on Nov 19

 

[caffeware]

This avoids people being spoiled.
This also means only programmers are crunshing, not the whole team.

 

[ToadMan]

PC screwed by consoles yet again.

Well as many have pointed out consoles lead in the game space and PCs get to come along for the ride ...

 

[CrysisFreak]

Delay it until summer 2021, cancelling the jaguar version, full focus on next-gen.
I know, wishful thinking.

 

[Aidah]

Witcher 3 sales by platform:

• PC: ~12 million
• PS4: ~ 10.8 million
• Xbox One: ~ 4.3 million
• Nintendo Switch: ~ 700,000
• Total: ~28.3 million

And PC is basically all higher profit margin digital, and a good chunk of it they don't have to give 30% of revenue to anyone.

Delaying the ready PC version for the sake of last gen console versions doesn't look necessary.

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Plot twist: Next delay due Switch port.

 

[Senua]

PC is the lead platform for this game

 

[DonJorginho]

Or to keep their profits healthy so they can continue to deliver great titles, drop the Next Gen and PC versions ASAP and delay the Current Gen versions till they are ready.

Fuck them Jaguar Cores, make em wait.

 

[martino]

seems this one will be a cross game more like dragon age or modor at their times than most of the scale up games we have seen so far.

 

[Hudo]

So just release it on PC, then? If you need more time for console versions then release those just later when they're ready.

 

[BWJinxing]

WHy cant you just delay the console release?

Why does the PCMR have to suffer?

 

[R6Rider]

Why does the PCMR have to suffer?

Your answer is in your question.

 

[Lokaum D+]

To prevent riots.

fuck that, we had to wait almost 2 years for GTA V, console player can wait 21 days, just realese this damn game on PC already

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Edit - funny to see all the mental gymnastics going on here with some fantastical ideas on how they could better run a company with 1000+ employees just so they can have their game release on Nov 19

That happens everywhere, tho, be it with regards to politics, the medical industry, parenting, or just about anything. Everybody is fired up about something and everybody knows best about said something. By and large, that's just human nature.

 

[Maddux4164]

Is there any chance at all they release on PC early? Or would the "optics" of such be too damaging?

They also said the game is fine on PS5/XSX... but you couldn't release a version of that early because it's literally the PS4/X1 game with a patch eh?

 

[Xaero Gravity]

TIL that people still use PCMR unironically.

 

[renzolama]

That's just the way software engineers look Jason

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Yeah, as far as I understand that's illegal under Polish labor laws, so I'm calling bullshit until that little weasle coughs up some receipts.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

They need to make a profit some how. This game has been in development for 7 years.

The more systems its on, the more money it can make. Skyrim taught us that lol

 

[Alebrije]

I blame the Atari VCS version for this delay.

 

[Piku_Ringo]

That really sucks. Should do the honourable thing and put it out on PC for the ones who want it most and will experience the best version of it.

The honourable move would be to make sure no one gets to enjoy this game until I do.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Always holding us back.

That's one of the problems why you can't expect too much from 3rd party, until you find ambitious projects like Star Citizen, which is still the biggest scam in gaming history.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Some of my Polish friends know people inside there, and it's real. You can believe it or not, but they're not getting paid as you would think. CDPR isn't a corporate of angels.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

There was a time (and surely now is too) when games came out sooner/later depending on a platform, and then released on another.

If the game is ready on pc, release it then, it will serve as feedback while you work on consoles. But i'm biased, as I will play the game on pc

Does your uncle work for Nintendo too?

Nah, my uncle isn't a retard if that what you're asking.

You know what's the plot twist? My aunt is Polish, widow of my passed away uncle.

Spoiler

Not joking.

Oman the no 1 destination for Polish Singles.

 

[Stuart360]

Really surprised people arent giving CDPR shit for not showing any console footage this close to launch, its disgusting really.
Having said that, we could still be months away with the amount of delays lol. I still dont think March is out of the question yet.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Nah, he lived in Europe for 16 years during civil war here, married to 2 Polish women (not at once). She lives in Oman now, but my cousins go to Poland regularly during Winter/Christmas. Never been to Poland myself.

I believe they're getting passes due to the tremendous love they got from gamers, which is well deserved. It's like Bethesda before Fallout 76.

 

[Aressa]

Why not release on PC and next-gen consoles then the ancient old gen consoles later?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

That's what should be done, not the other way around.

What a disgraceful comment, Bo. We should treasure developers, not crunch them

And of all the Poles in all the world they just happen to know how things are going in CDPR ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're rapidly becoming the Walter Mitty of GAF

 

[N30RYU]

the official piggyback guide book of the game looks like is still releasing Nov 19th in my country... that will be a shitshow

 

[Bo_Hazem]

I was being sarcastic. Added a spoiler with /s to that comment.

No, they know shit about CDPR, they're not even into gaming. That's like a side story.

Sadly, both are permabanned from here, one has worked in 3 games on PS3 and worked on a PS3 dev-kit. But have both on PSN.

I dare say if you speak to EviLore he could look into undoing their bans if you ask nicely
