For me, it is alright
Better good quality and a polished game than getting a rushed game early.
May would be okay, maybe June :l ... if the polish is good (but not perfect) release the game asap.
For me, this would not be acceptable
Bring the game out; any bugs can be patched very easily.
We all know, that Far Cry 6 will be delayed - the first release term in February won't/ can't be used. Officially: We don't have a new release date yet.
In e. g. the Microsoft Store the 25th May is used as a placeholder.
Keep in mind, that this is just a placeholder: There are many reasons, why it isn't confirmed yet. One reason could be: It is still not sure, if this new deadline could be met. But also other ((minor) organizational reasons) could be behind this.
Now - thought experiment -
What if Far Cry 6 will get it's new official release date on 30th September 2021?
How would you feel?
What would you say to the devs? (If it would be okay/ or not okay for you.)
Keep also in mind, that an more early released game could also mean: less polish, more bugs and glitches. (!)
(And a delay is also not in the interests of a publisher, because the earnings for selling a game delay, too. So, delays are not unfounded decissions.)
Where is the 'I don't really care' option? They could release the game at the end of the year and it wouldn't really bother me. There's a 4 year gap between numbered titles from Far Cry 1 to Far Cry 3 and another between Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5. Both Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 6 breaks the tradition of the 4 year gap. The pandemic made its impact on society, affecting movies and games. There are games such as Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War where game designers and voice actors had to work at home. Ubisoft seems to be confident to release games in the midst of the pandemic and I'd rather have them work on the game safely without risking any deaths just to have a game release on schedule.
We understand that AAA games have a certain firm schedule of game releases....
But, as for me, I can wait even until 2022!
If the game is good - why not to wait?!
If there is interesting big open world, wilderness, city.....if this world is Alive - why not to wait?!
If there is exciting stealth and action, memorable missions and story, characters, music....I can wait.
Better to wait and later enjoy a good game than to get some "fast food".
Fry this dish longer, developers!
Sprinkle it with spices and seasonings...
Cook it with Love...
And good Far Cry 6 will be the greatest reward for waiting.
I wouldn't really mind at all. Enough games get delayed every year, to the point that it is almost a trend to do so, especially for Ubisoft. Eitherway, I think it's a good choice to delay the game, as we all know, Ubisoft games tend to be full of bugs, and are frequently unpolished. (looking at you, wd:legion) so in short; if the end result is a game with less bugs and better polished, then I wouldn't really mind at all. (Got enough games to play as it already is)
Not meant as joke: If people don't care, in this topic won't be posts or reactions; or at least not much.Originally Posted by KrayZee_ Go to original post
A few would say, that this is not an important question; and/or would name other things that are more important to them.
This is a result, too.
That is why I did not think it necessary to include this option.
True, but I didn't want to overdo it.Originally Posted by KrayZee_ Go to original post![]()
I ll wait a few years for FC6 if needed. What I can t wait for though is a slice of gameplay. No matter what they show, just a minute of it. In order to speculate a bit on what we ll get in the end.
I still can t believe that the game was announced almost 7 months ago (roughly) and we did not have ANY information on it after the 2-3 days of the initial unveiling. No dev interview, no short video, no update, nothing. To me that s just crazy. The game was not set to be released 5 years later. It was supposed to be released half a year later. So why is there not even a word about the game?
Previous Far Cry where all about short videos, gameplay, dev interview and website updates with screenshots. For FC6, we got nothing. And even though I love the franchise, I d say that the lack of gameplay is not reassuring to me. So yeah, make us wait years if you need Ubisoft but throw us a bone.
You know why, it's the pandemic getting in the way.Originally Posted by WildCassowary Go to original post
Still. The games have always been announced with a slice of gameplay. First time it is not. And that s not like the game is scheduled for 2022 or else. We could have had a dev talking about it in an interview, a few screenshots or else. The pandemic is no reason for this total blackout while other ubisoft titles are being talked about.Originally Posted by KrayZee_ Go to original post
