Same situation. I'm a teacher in grad school. June was my only chance at this game.
One of the dumbest things? It is absolutely true and something that some people need to be reminded of time to time.
I think this quote is one of the dumbest things, but I wanted to get ahead of the crowd and post it before it starts getting spammed.
He had one of the redditors message him on Twitter blaming him for delaying NMS, like Jason was personally responsible, when the article was published and how he was going to come find and kill him and his entire family. Thats how fucked up it was, and still is.

QFT. He's right. I'd rather wait for a great game than get a mediocre game now.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
I was embarrassingly excited over this game, and have been for years. With the previous release date getting closer I'd been bubbling with excitement, but now with another 50 days added to it, it feels like that's been siphoned out of me. I still want it, but I can't even get close to the level of anticipation I had for it even the last time we were at the 75 day mark.
I wasn't even expecting it to necessarily be all that great. I thought one of the funniest things ever would be after all this anticipation, it's just a pile of crap. But now even that won't happen cause I won't care as much.
So yeah. August 9th.

Not a huge delay.
I think this quote is one of the dumbest things, but I wanted to get ahead of the crowd and post it before it starts getting spammed.
I also think the quote is very overrated. Especially since a lot of delayed games are actually NOT good. Duke Nukem Forever being exhibit A.
On topic, I'm glad the delay is not that much longer at all. The way people were freaking out about it, I expected 2017 or something.

It tripled the wait time we had yesterday.
Yeah, I agree my comparison was a bit extreme. I'm willing to walk it back. I'm experience slight Moly vibes, but not full ones.
There are so many exceptions to this (going both ways) that the phrase has become meaningless.

Inexperienced, eh? Only game, eh?
Sean Murray – Tech Director at Kuju, Technical Lead at Criterion on several Burnout titles
Grant Duncan – Artist, Sega games including Virtua Tennis 3
Ryan Doyle – programmer on Burnout titles, Lead Programmer on Geometry Wars: Galaxies
David Ream – Creative Director, previous work on Geometry Wars
Simon Carter – co-creator of Dungeon Keeper and Fable
Harry Denholm – programmer, previously at Rockstar (GTA, RDR)
Charlie Tangora – physics programmer, previously Naughty Dog (Uncharted 1-3)
Those are just the people I could easily find who work at Hello.
Sean is not a Peter. He's the opposite of Peter. He's never overpromised anything, in fact he's reluctant to even tell us things about the game for exactly that reason.

It's exactly 7 weeks. So if you find 7 a few, then it's a few. Like 7 potato chips: A few. 7 nuclear missiles about to go off: Pretty catastrophic.
These two statements seem like complete bull, though.
At every stage Murray's been like "I sure hope this works, guys" when Moly would have been like "this is the greatest game ever"
And what others have said about the team - who are evidently super experienced, just like Lion Head's.
It is a shorter amount of time than most game delays so it doesn't feel as long...hence a few weeks.
Eye of the beholder and all.

Steam refund, here I come.
Will like re-pre-order a week or two before its "new" release date.

For me it was coming out when I had the most time to play it. The summer is always a horrible drought. A fall release means I'm canceling my preorder and maybe I'll get to play around Christmas when I'm on break from work and school.

There are semi-famous streamers of a game that isn't even out? I feel so damn old.

Youth and impatience I would assume.
A bit disappointed that it got pushed but a few weeks isn't the big of a deal. If they feel they need that little bit of extra time to polish it up then I'm not going throw a tantrum, I'd rather they get the time they need and get it as close to right out of the gate as possible.
gives me some time to finish up other games in the process as well.

I Don't understand people being upset about delays. I can understand suits being so since it may affect business, but for consumers, what is the problem? Do you rather have a broken game? The people making the game are saying it isn't finished. So there WILL be issues if they release it now. Do love going through frantic patches 6 months post launch, or something?
And games today aren't in limited quantities. In fact, pre-ordering is silly in today's world to 'secure a copy'.
I want Horizon. But I forget about it till I see it on the store. I might not even buy it before a price cut. It depends on the hype at launch. But I would never feel upset if it gets delayed because I know they wouldn't do that if it was releasable. In fact, the problem we do have is having games released unfinished knowingly. Now that is upsetting.

He's the opposite of Molyneux. Murray didn't talk about planet deformation until it was implemented and he could show it in gameplay. Murray didn't talk about Alien NPCs until it was implemented and he could show it in gameplay. Murray didn't go into detail on crafting weaponry until it was in the game and they could show it working ...
He's not a Molyneux just because you don't understand mathematics.
Then you haven't been paying much attention. IGN alone has hours of content with Shawn explaining and playing the game to Ryan Mcaffry. Unless you want every last bit of information about the game before it comes out, personally I don't and I think that's a big problem in the games industry these days is that people push too much to get all of the information they possibly can and then by the time a game comes out its old news because we already know it all.
Part of the thing that makes games like Souls/BloodBorne sp great is that aspect of discovering everything while playing, not watching a trailer or listening to someone flap their gums about it for hours.

Yeah I've had to explain that a lot to people. 18 quintillion is a good buzzword but the variety of the procedural generation is what actually matters when playing the game.
The thing I'm most excited about with NMS is finally getting a unguided experience with their tech. If we can actually visit 100 planets and still be surprised by what's possible, it'll be incredibly impressive.

Yeah, the guys who founded Hello Games are far from inexperienced, so I'm not sure where the claim comes from.

Pretty sure he's riffing off the fact that reddit was full on foaming at the mouth raging at Kotaku for breaking the story.

1) Wanting a game isn't the same as being excited about a game. If you've never been excited about a game, I can't help you.
2) It's not a matter of whether one would "rather have a broken game" but would "rather the makers have been competent enough to deliver when they said they would." If you had a project for school, would you tell your teacher "Hey, would you rather have a finished report or this first draft?" The delay isn't a force of nature that just occurred. They weren't able to complete their work when they said they would. And since we are consumers and not a teacher or a boss, we're powerless in this situation other than expressing feelings (I am not talking about stuff like those messed up death threats or any sort of attacks, Ugh). So we might express that we are upset that they didn't deliver. It doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. But neither is your confusion that other people might not think the same way as you.

Wow, internet. Wow.
