A delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever. (Very rare exceptions apply).
Duke Nukem Forever is the exception, and to be honest I’m not even sure if it counts as a ‘delay’ when they started over with new game engines multiple times…
Depends on the proximity of the release date and the amount of delay honestly. A delay of only a few weeks very close to release tends to indicate that the release is going to be a mess, fortunately it is not the case here and the delay is significant.
These days I hail a delay as a smart move. Wish more devs/publishers would allow for this.
I know it’ll be worth the improvements, but I’m allowed to be disappointed all the same. I swear they had a November release, so a week or so ago when I tried to find the release date, I couldn’t find it again, and instead just saw Winter 2023. I was bracing for a delay (still disappointed though).
