Okay for some reason the following PC ports are getting delayed:

Grand Theft Auto V: Original date was in January, delayed until march (Warning, bad grammar)
Dynasty Warrors 8: Original date was January, delayed until next month
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round: Original date was February 17th, Delayed until March 30th
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 Original date was today, January 28th, Delayed until January 30th

I'm wondering what are your thoughts on all this?

While delays seem like a bad thing, they are, for the most part, a good thing. It gives developers more time to polish out their game and optimize it so it will work properly on a computer. After all, there are no hardware limitations on a PC, so it could be hard to balance it so people with old tech can run it as well as people with godly computers can enjoy it with everything cranked up.

Sure, it sucks we won't be able to play these games for a while, but after last year with unfinished releases coughUbisoftcough it seems like a good thing. In the end it only matters that we'll get to play them on our platform of choice (This being PC).

Only game I knew that was on that list is GTAV though, so I don't really feel any different.

They must've suddenly realized that people don't like extremely buggy releases.

If only other companies actually realized that.
