I can't link atm, but Amazon seem to think that the release date will be 31st may.

Better ****ing not be :mad:

. Since when do lead platforms get their version months after other versions? If it does turn out to be true I'll be incredibly ****ed off, and I refuse to buy it for console which will inevitably have framedrops.

Seeing as it's now February and they haven't given us a date yet I severely doubt it's much (if any) sooner than that. That's a big enough delay for me to consider buying it on PS3 instead tbh :/ As much as I'd rather have it on PC, I'm also impatient and really want to play this damn game haha.

One of the first reviews, they gave it 90% and they're saying the difficulty is brutal (great!). The same site gave Demon’s Souls 82% and Dark Souls 81% so things are looking good. My main hope is the PC version is playable without a controller..

Apparently a delay for the PC release date.

Zatoichi.uK · 28 Feb 2014 at 13:35

Damn, can't seem to find the black armour edition anywhere..

Pighardia · 28 Feb 2014 at 22:37

Looks like April 25th then

Fenris · 28 Feb 2014 at 22:54

Welp looks like I'm getting the PS3 version for now then.

Pighardia · 28 Feb 2014 at 23:01

Yeah, me too if its true

I'm not all that bothered to be honest, I only got the PC version of DS because it was on offer and I thought "what the hell".

Unless this turns out to be a particularly good port I don't imagine myself leaping to buy it on PC.

Looking forward to this game

But going to wait for the pc version I think rather than ps3.

25th April release date confirmed. For a game like this where knowledge and spoilers can completely change the entire game for the player, there should have been a simultaneous release on all platforms. Have to say I've never been so disappointed in a game release date

It shouldn't be difficult to avoid if you really want to.

Yeah, I would have preferred them to delay the console release if they couldn't get the PC one out in time (as it's understandable that one platform takes a little longer than another). Doing it this way is a little weird, unless they're that desperate for the money this month (or scared about making a smaller profit margin on PC, so encouraging people to buy it on console instead)...

Where was it confirmed by the way? I couldn't find anywhere saying that in my quick google search, just the usual image that they debunked quickly afterwards.

I know I can avoid spoilers, but there's so many ways it can be spoiled for me (subscriptions on Youtube, the wikis for the other games and even the non-Dark Souls 2 threads on here).
