Better Late than Never--Cyberpunk Delayed

Very rarely do I feel extremely hyped for a big game release--I guess that with the current state of gaming that I've been burned too many times and have learned to go into any potential release with caution.  The one major release of 2020 that I've had on my radar for years is Cyberpunk 2077.  The April release date has been slowly creeping closer and closer...the excitement has been building!  Unfortunately, the major piece of gaming news this week is that the release of the highly anticipated game has been pushed back until September.

Sorry buddy, gotta wait until September.

Interestingly enough, I didn't see a ton of torches n' pitchforks being hoisted at this announcement.  For the most part, people seemed understanding (there's always going to be somebody who's unhappy no matter what).  I think this is for good reason--CD Projekt has a history of releasing very polished products and seems to be much more willing to delay than to release a game in a semi-playable state.  Many people were pointing out the fact that The Witcher 3 was delayed several times before it was released.

I, for one, am perfectly content to wait.  My memory may be imperfect, but I remember very few issues with the release of The Witcher 3.  The game ran great, I don't remember running into any crazy bugs, and it was fun to play from day one.  I think it's definitely worth it to wait for a polished final product.  My one hope is that the game isn't delayed too many times, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

So, while we're going to have to wait a bit longer to dip our toes into the world of Cyberpunk, I think it'll be worth the wait.  Happy gaming!
