March has always been a souls game month for me anyway.
Gives me time to finish up the Witcher 3

Nope, worldwide delay.

I'm not upset about this at all. Plenty of other games to play and would rather this be nice and polished when released.
Considering Bloodborne is the game that got a delay, I guess it's the game that needed a delay.

I'm still trying to figure out if Blighttown was actually on purpose or not, because that is the most aptly named place in a game that I've ever played.
how is that an euphemism?
uh sorry, I meant the same date as the delayed NA date.

Well you guys did want the Order and Bloodborne separated. Congrats.
Ah, that makes more sense, lol.
This is from the EU blog post:
NA release is the 24th.

I found it a little weird that they were planning on launching in the same month as The Order in the first place.

Dammit. My wedding is on February 21st so I was hoping to play this before the witcher which comes out during my honeymoon.

Well looks like I am getting the witcher 3 on release day. I dont mind the delay and hopefully the final product will have 1080p and a solid 30 fps.
60 would be nice 
but its not a major deal breaker/ concern of mine

I said it before and I was right, the PSN timer didn't lie.

I wish companies didn't feel the need to put out release dates 6+ months in advance... there's really no reason for it. Just give us a couple of months heads-up; you can hype the game for as long as you want (still), even though I don't agree with that either...
In a perfect world, for me, 6 months from announcement to launch is the sweet spot.
I'm glad it's moving out of the way of some of the other stuff, and also glad that they're going to make sure they do their best to give us the best product though.

What serious problem did you encounter in Demon's Souls and the first Dark Souls?
Same director, same team.

Not surprised. February is a busy month for Playstation. I'm just glad I won't have to spend as much money in a single month!

I'm actually ok with this.
It was looking like Bloodborne was going to eat The Order's lunch. And this gives BB more time in the oven to bake to perfection (I hope... But honestly, this is a Souls game. I'm not really expecting technical superiority unless Team Ice dives in for the save).

If you look on the bright side, the release date is still sooner than most dared to hope before the reveal. I'm completely fine with this.

I also hope you're wrong.
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls (apart from low frame-rates in Blight Town) didn't have any serious problems.

not sure if serious, but they've been working on this game for years. The delay seems more related to getting out of an already crowded month and giving both the Order and Bloodborne some breathing room.
Also, this is going to happen a lot in 2015 thanks to all of the 2014 delays.

Sucks, but I'm all for giving them the time they need instead of... you know... having another Unity on our hands.

Can't say I'm crushed, having trouble playing all the video games that have just released, never mind GTA5, Witcher 3, LBP3 and The Order which are all on the horizon.
I'm only on Shadow of Mordor and Last of Us. I got Lords of the Fallen, and Driveclub to get yet.

I hope so. I hope they are working on feedback to get the game working as intended and not delaying it to change their vision because of user feedback.

Haha!! My baby's due in March, so I was hoping to "get this out of the way" in Feb as well. It was to be my last big game before my time goes poof. I think this delay is a good thing though.
Congrats!
To be fair we did say that about DriveClub... Not that this will be at all like DriveClub.

To be honest I expected this. Ah well, it's for the best as many others have said.
Of course the Japanese date is changing too... it was first announced on the official Japanese twitter.

This is fine. Give it another month to make it better. Also, keep it a month away from the big one-two of The Witcher 3 and The Order.

Knew either this or The Order was getting pushed.
Oh well, one month later isn't too bad

Good. Give The Order a chance to do well. I wonder if it really needed more time or if they just wanted to separate the games. Either way it's cool... Seems like we will get a steady flow of Sony (and Nintendo) games next year. It's gonna be glorious!
