Or play another game entirely.

Or go read a book.

Or, as Hines said, go outside and play.

or play with yourself

I would say a lot of it is the scheduling with stores, the manpower involved in shipping, the diistribution, the manufacturing of the console disks, Steam making sure that it's servers are at top peak on opening day, Gamestop scheduling to be open on the evening of the 9th, and so on. I can only imagine the logistics involved in this.

It's a big chain of events involving a lot people and resources. I'm not even sure that if Bethesda wanted to release it today they could, even on a digital basis.

And that's not even including business contracts and so on.

Because waiting.. waiting never changes.

I just beat dying light. I beat witcher 3, and played fallout NV forever and all dlcs.

I read 3 books in the last month

I walk the puppy daily and work out with weights every other day. I play basketball 3 times a week.

This isn't seeming to make the time pass faster! this last week will be very slow and work has been slow and not keeping me busy.

Back in the day, kids would be out playing football or soccer with their friends, not waiting for game releases. Well back then we also had the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64.

Yeah when I was a kid I played outside all day. I'm pushing 30 now. We also had the original Nintendo... Not quite as exciting as fallout 4

When your old it is hard to find things to look forward to. Good games are one of those things.

Why not wait? It's only a few more days.. Play some fallout or NV or something else while you wait.
