I'm always happy when games are delayed. I wish games were delayed more often, actually. Give the developers ALL the time they need to make the best game they can make, and then release it.

I realize it's a business, and people are impatient assholes, but as someone who considers games to be an art form, I can't say I ever find myself that upset when a game I'm looking forward to gets pushed back by a few months.

Better a quality game released late than a buggy, incomplete fuckfest released early.

This is one of those rare times where I'm in absolute agreement with you.

It doesn't even look like that great of a game.

Not to over generalize, but there tends to be a correlation between a game's level of macho, adrenaline-fueled violence and the amount of... let's politely say "heated debate" that it attracts online.

What a load of wank.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
Not surprising one bit.

Most people don't understand what developers have to go through creating the games they enjoy. It's a stressfull and hard to work in environment, ESPECIALLY once a game is announced. Players don't tend to see what the creators see. Creators see that there is multiple issues with this part of the game that they need to work on. Players see that the game they have been oh so waiting for has been delayed.

I generally agree with this. Though when a game gets delayed too much and/or a bunch of key staff leave (Ex. Destiny, Mass Effect 4), it can also be a cause for concern.

Has it? It seems pretty unanimous across all platforms

Maybe except nintendo. Though I don't follow anything nintendo related so maybe I'm wrong.

Plus the fact the games being delayed means only GOOD


More games need to have as much time as they need, not fucking whenever the publisher wants money

They have disproportionately been the source of a lot of this. I can't think of any other fanbase that's actually had articles written about them by journalists working in this industry detailing how that community and its modus operandai has been interacting with them over the last decade and how it differs from the hardcore of other platforms.

You expressed similar sentiments about the sports game community. Do you have any evidence and/or first-hand experience which would demonstrate a pervading culture of hostility within these gaming communities?

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
I'm not really angry, and no one else should.

The answer is obvious when it's either a catastrophe early, or a success delayed

How does this show that the Sony fanbase is any worse than the Nintendo or the Microsoft fanbase? Don't all fanboys engage in oneupsmanship, zealotry, and petty bickering? I honestly haven't seen anything from the Sony fanboys that I haven't seen from other fanboy groups.

Sure you'll find those types of people in all fanbases, but some community are more conducive to that type of behavior than others and the Sony one is one of those that exhibits this type of behavior far more frequently than others. This is something that's been noted by journalists in this industry as they're frequently the ones who are the recipients of this type of abuse and the common thing they all seem to have in common is that this is that the majority of it is stemming from one kind of community.

The "all fanbases are just as bad as each other" argument is the same kind of argument people make when trying to defend the rather high rates of extremist sympathizers in Islam. It's simply not true, some cultures/communities are just more conducive to "bad behavior" than others.

I hate to play Devil's advocate for console fanboys, but considering how sketchy gaming publications can be, could they be over-exaggerating in order to push a particular narrative that is convenient for them? I've been weary of the gaming press since the whole autistic shitstorm that was GamerGate which made me, and probably a lot of other people, wonder as to who I should and shouldn't trust. I'm probably being retarded though.

Two out of the three articles/videos i linked predate gamergate. One is by Jim Sterling and the other is Adam Sessler before he started doing coke and went off the deep end.
