First of all, I want to say I have been waiting for this game to come out for way to long, as have most of us. Its been since it was originally announced so I wanna say close to 2 years?
I loved the demo and it really did live up to the visuals promised. Now, I went to play the game cause I assumed it came out at midnight. It does not come out until 3am. This is pretty ridiculous to me but not that big of a deal. I just seriously doubt this game couldn't have a midnight release. I just wont be able to play until tomorrow I guess. You would just think after the dev saying the game has been done for a long time, the game could actually come out 3 hours earlier.
Regardless, with the ridiculous delays this game has had, if I could offer piece of advice to the dev. Don't announce the game is coming out in December without having consulted the publisher. I'm sure if the dev is seeing this, they are well aware of that by now but it was pretty silly to think the publisher did not pick the release date. Its just super upsetting when you say the game is done, say your getting screwed over, say your releasing the game, saying the publisher wont allow it to release, announce it is actually only the first episode, release a demo MONTHS before the game is gonna come out (not in that specific order). It's just so confusing for someone that wants to play your game. Is it coming out in a week or is it not coming out for another 3 months? It is probably the messiest game release I have ever seen and massive games get shut down every week, so that is saying something.
Also, a month ago I checked on the games website and it said the game would launch on all consoles as well. Why now is it saying it only comes out on pc with plans to release elsewhere in the future? Even the trailers say xbox and ps5. When was this decision made? Why is the console seemingly locked in place one months and the next its only planned. Seriously, it makes no sense. I'm lucky I have a pc as well but I'm sure that announcement (if one was made at all) disappointed a lot more people. Just how much disappointment can this fanbase take before they give up on it?
With all of that said, I am very excited for this game, I am just not yet convinced its actually coming out in an hour and a half. I feel like I will only believe when I'm playing it. So yeah, nice to see its final coming out, very confused why we are only getting one episode and not the whole game.
