Delayed games

What do you think when a game is delayed? Worth the wait to have a better game?

Yeah, I think a delay is worth it in the end as it usually only lasts a few months anyway but its place in the library / its legacy will last forever. I was very disappointed with Drive Club being delayed, personally, and I think that along with Watchdog's delay contributed a lot to the overall feedback of the PS4 launch, but at least it was still a success. I don't mind delays in general, though, as I would prefer having a complete and well-polished game later than getting it early and unfinished or rushed.

Oh yes I believe that waiting is always the best policy. I mean I'd rather have a near perfect game on launch (because few games are perfect upon launch and usually have a few bugs) than a game that is filled with flaws and barely works.

It depends on how long the delay is. If the delay is between a month and 6 months then i'm alright with it as it will probably make the game 10x better. However if it is past a year then due to previous games like Duke Nukem, I pretty much lose all hope for it. If the game needs that long to be refined then the team and the game arent ready for publishing a game.

But would you guys rather they just release the game and then fix things with updates?

It will be worth the wait for Watch Dogs and DriveClub imo. They look awesome!
