Starwars Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sucks as I really want to play the full game as soon as possible but if they feel it's worth it, then it's a no-brainer of course. The game deserves as much spit and polish it can get. I hope they find a good place to release so it won't get lost among other games.

Quadrone Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Even though I hoped for a December release, I can of course get behind wanting to polish the game to a nice and presentable state. As long as Obsidian can afford it every extra week spend in development makes for a more polished first experience. ... So, how long a delay are we talking about here? Second week of January or third week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeJunta Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So all you people who made wagers... what exactly did you wager? A testicle. 3 I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free.

Second week of January or third week? I agree with Elrond, that releasing it very quickly after the Christmas spending-spree would be a bad idea. A few months into 2015 would feel reasonable to me, and ensure they have a long scope for developing and implementing the improvements that they are delaying for. If it dropped before Feb I would be a little worried for its sales potential. Not to mention that people will still be playing Dragon Age 3 right after Christmas, and perhaps still WL2 - it's a big game. Witcher 3 may also compete with it for media and buyer attention.

Second week of January or third week? mid-march were our initial guess many moons ago. 'course we assumed some last minute delay(s) would push back release til first week o' the 3rd fiscal quarter... plus, 1 april 2015 were simple too good to pass. even so, when taking chuckle value out o' consideration, march 17, 24, or 31 all strike us as likely release dates.

PieSnatcher Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 *cough* did I say it would be released December 16, 2014? Clearly I meant March 24, 2015. Clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArbitraryWater Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm not surprised at all. The beta holds a lot of promise, but after playing some of it I sincerely doubted it would be out before the end of the year. Obsidian can have all the time they want, especially since they're a developer that has suffered under tight deadlines before. I still have to finish Wasteland 2 and by the time I'm done with that Dragon Age will probably be out, and by the time I'm done with that I'll probably have time to go back to Divinity.

AlperTheCaglar Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just further proof that they're rushing the game, u_u... *puffs away at his bubble pipe* Also, I second Malignacious's sentiments. When you make this ~5-millon-dollar game, hold it to the standards of all those other 20+ million-dollar games that you made under contract with big-money publishers! Full voice-acting, cinematics... I want to see rain-drops drip from my character's eyelashes. MAYBE, if there's time, you can actually put in like 2 quests and a skill, and 2 different weapons instead of just one. ^_^ >not ignoring Malignacious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seari Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Didn't think it would happen, but I was hoping for it. Hopefully this means a game with actual fun combat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loyal Nub Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I will probably be playing the besheezus out of DA:I from late November anyway (probably) and looking into the early new year you do have The Witcher so yeah they'd be smart to delay to the end of March or into April just to take advantage of the market and demand.

Nonek Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Right ho, thanks for the heads up chaps. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

There are also very likely to be people who will think PoE is a massive waste of time even if we all love it here and reviewers like it. It's how the world works. There are always people of a different opinion or perception of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2B Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I EDIT: Perhaps good old Feargus wasn't pleased with the degree of IE-ness and CRPG sprawliness, and gave Josh & Co the following order: Moar IE-feel, Moar IE-depth and moar polish! (plus combat xp) ? If anything Feargus was the one that got convinced. After all the non-compete Argument is from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lephys Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Do people actually think that DA:I won't be complete and utter ****? This is news to me. I don't think it'll be complete and utter asterisks. I also don't think it'll be the most glorious game ever made. I suspect it might actually be worth playing, though. Maybe I'm insane in the membrane.

BAdler Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 So, Brandon, Steam Early Access release on the original release date? You know you want to. I really don't want to. =) I don't think we are going down that route. I don't make the final decision on it, but I don't think it is in the cards for us. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanval Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm glad to see PoE delayed. It's better to play a high quality game, no matter if we must wait half year more. If PoE succeeds, our experience playing it wil be great, the critics will be good, more people will buy this game, and more sales mean more expansions, sequels, more hours of gameplay in this incredible setting.

Moriendor Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) *checks inbox* Nope. Sure enough, just like the first delay I had to find out about this delay via a third party website instead of from Obsidian directly because it is obviously too much to ask as a loyal backer to be kept informed and updated on important project news. I don't mind the delay. That's fine. But the communication is piss poor at best. Very doubtful I'd ever back another Obsidian game. They don't care about their backers so why should I care about them? /rant Edited October 2, 2014 by Moriendor 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
