Asking because there’s a TV show coming out soon that I’m excited for, but I’m having flashbacks of all the times I’ve had to wait up to two years for something to come out, often due to delays.
Silksong 🥲 waiting since 2019, release window in 2023 was cancelled in the last month of the window, no communication since except “we’re still working on it”. Subreddit has gone crazy unlike anything I’ve ever seen, someone from there possibly offed themselves a couple weeks ago due to their shitposting.
I can’t wait to read history books about it
I’m looking forward to becoming a character in an action movie.
Ya know, the guns-ablazing war movies, or some disaster movie where everyone is trying to survive, chaos everywhere?
Maybe I could stop being bored and can enjoy some excitment in a irl movie plot
except, I’d probably be the side character that dies in the first 10 minutes… 🙃
Have you made any homemade movies? That’s where I would start, and many have begun their path by doing that.
Lol I was making a joke about how crazy the world is and I might end up in a real war/disaster scenario
A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I’m WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can’t be arsed to look it up.
Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.
Duke Nukem Forever. Announced in 1997 and released 2011 💀
15 years.
The time between losing my first child and having my second.
“looking forward to”: A week at most for the next episode of anime series or next chapter of the best book series “Ascendance of a bookworm”
“Waiting and working towards”: Lifetime of yearning for feeling loved
Been waiting 8 years to be told I’m allowed to turn my pp into a not pp 🥲 More waiting to go yet
I believe in you!
I’ve been building a house myself for four years. I move in in 3 weeks.
Congratulations!
Half Life 3
still waiting
It’s not much, but an intro for Project Borealis has actually been released! There’s only ~10 minutes of gameplay/content and it doesn’t run great, but the artistic direction looks promising.
I was just waiting for next Half-Life. And Alyx delivered big time. So guess that reset the timer :D
I feel it’ll not be done during my lifetime, but the hope is still there.
16 years. Star Wars: Episode I.
Top Gun Sequel, probably the longest I can think of right now.
Well, I’m a Star Citizen backer, so…
F
Not the longest, but the most recent.
I’ve been waiting for this game to launch (2019), as long as the site doesn’t go down there’s hope.
They were marketing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (though not by name, because it didn’t have a name yet) before the WiiU was released. And they strung everybody along until after the Switch was released.
Fuckers! I was an early adopter of the WiiU because “well, I’ll for sure want one when the WiiU exclusive Zelda title comes out.”
For most things if I’m gonna be waiting more than a few weeks, I’ll let myself kind of forget about it and then enjoy it whenever it happens.
That said, I didn’t do that for The Wheel of Time TV show. I learned about it relatively late; a few months before release, and then spent a lot of time reading up on it, looking into the cast, watching trailers, interacting with WoT communities online, and just generally getting kind of hyped. Most people seemed pretty positive about it. It was looking like it might actually be a good adaptation of one of my favorite book series.
Then it came out and it was the single most disappointing adaptation I’ve seen since Eragon.
