I'm actually not that disappointed that they pushed it back even further, I'd rather wait and get a nice and finished product, instead of them rushing it and leaving bugs etc. just to release it on time.

I am more than ready to run this, the recommended specs are for running it on low probably. The GTX660 is from 2012.

Ache I get more and more pissed at them for continuously delaying the game...

"Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March."

Yeah... you better hope so.


Yeah but the longer the wait the more better it will be I guess because there will be less problems and stuff.
