Consolation thread for people who won't be able to play Civ7 in February

[Krajzen]

Title, for me it is realistically going to be rather late April for various personal reasons which I don't wanna sacrifice for a video game

Kinda annoying ngl I would like to experience this game on its very release time, though it was the same with civ5 and civ6 OG releases with a 2-3 month delay each time, so it's a tradition at this point I guess

Frustrated delayed civ fanatics assemble!

(inb4 fortunately the game's going to be terrible anyway )

I think the main consolation will be getting to play after several patches

This. I know I will enjoy the game on Feb 6, but I won‘t have much time in the first two weeks. Hence, I will play 1-2 games and hope that there will be some patches coming already. Waiting 2 months almost guarantees some patches.

I have the opposite problem. I pre-ordered so will get the game on 6 February. But then I have to pry the most I can out of it in playing time, because in April Farthest Frontier is supposed to be released, and I am looking forward to playing that after putting almost 600 hours into the pre-release version over the past year plus.

Then later this year Anno 117, the Roman Anno and a first for them (all previous Anno games have been late medieval or later periods) has been announced, and that will suck all the rest of the oxygen out of my gaming time.

Oh, and the little matter of finishing up the 900+ page monster book that Jack and I have been working on for years: I have about 200 pages of documents to finish translating and 3 chapters to write and that really has to take priority over any games.

- Probably at the expense of time for sleeping, eating, and other trivialities . . .

Sort of the same. KCD2 drops February 4, but I'll have hardly any time to play it until my current work project ends...February 6.

Don't worry, I'll play the game on the 6th in a horrible state and won't have fun until a few patches by which time you'll be playing too...
