I feel just the opposite, particularly for mostly-singleplayer experiences. Waiting for the first major round of patching to get rid of show-stopper bugs and fix seemingly obvious UI stuff that somehow made it to release is better every single time. Well, I can name a lot more singleplayer games that got better after patches than got worse.
Considering how they're struggling to hit this release date I'm fairly confident this game will not only be made better by patches but will probably require some.

Not surprised at all, but I don't mind. The game still isn't available on GMG either for some reason.

Ugh, it was Type-0 yesterday and now this.
I still haven't be able to play Type-0 due to the lack of pre-load.

Come on this is stupid, i was so happy that the release date had been pushed to 1th September like Console version but now this, i've got a slow internet connection when i live, downloading 25gb or even more will take a whole day...i hope they'll change plan, or at least that it'll be available at midnight

Even just opening a preload 12 hours before would be nice, at least then folks like us MIGHT have a chance at playing day one...
launches at midnight in new zealand for seemingly all territories. it's likely a lot of us will be downloading (and playing it) on the 31st.
I really hope so, my download speed is about 600kbps with Steam, i live in Italy
Favourite post of the week.

So in the uk what time can we start downloading?
1pm on aug 31st, if the new zealand unlock thing pans out.
Crossing my fingers!New Zealand unlock time
have you read this thread at all beyond the title?
This is fucking bullshit. My internet isn't as bad as some people in this thread but it usually takes me six hours to download a 20GB game, and that's when Steam's servers aren't shot to shit. I was honestly already disappointed that North America wasn't getting a physical PC version.
I may have to import it then, even if that means I'll probably be paying like an extra $10. Do UK Steam codes work for US accounts?

Don't really care. Every preload lately has taken longer to unpack than the time it would have took download the whole game from scratch.
Sucks for people with slow connections though

That's really, really silly and honestly stupid.
There's absolutely no reason at all to not let PC pre-load it, and letting consoles do.

That sucks. Not sure how preloading would make that better, but yeah, data caps suuuuuuck.
This is lame as fuck for all my PC brethren.

Uhh... Those talking about it being cracked or datamined, let's pretend like physical copies of console games aren't put up on shelves and mistakenly shipped out early for every single release.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Looks like I'm not playing launch day then.
ill let you know how many punished grunts there are in the first few hours

I love Pokken!
I'm surprised physical PC copies still exist at all.
This. I'm not worried. Even if it runs well below its normal speed, it'll still be done long before I'm home that day.
I guess the PC team isn't as pumped about the release date bump as Konami HQ is.. I imagine the pre-load delay is so they can continue tweaking things right up to the 11th hour.
Same here, this is terrible news for me. Granted, I'm not that crazy about videogames these days and I'll just start the download and go on with my life mostly forgetting about it until a couple of days later, but still, it wouldve been nice to joing the launch party and play this at the same time as everyone else.
Not exactly available in all regions.
Look two posts above you. My connection isn't that slow but it's still slower than my optical drive.
Nope, still have to wait for it to unlock.
Nope. I really fucked this one up.
So if you were to somehow pre-order import a physical PC copy, how much extra shipping time would that take?
Otherwise, I guess there are basically no pre-order deals right? I haven't seen any. Might as well just get it on Steam, but now there's really no point to pre-ordering at all since I already have GZ.

But I should be able to use the NZ unlock time even with the boxed copy, right?
