So I have been playing some Dark Souls...

I think it's safe to say that if the coming PC port is playable that you (yes, you) will want to go get it.

It is one of the best RPG's I have ever played. I would say that it does a lot of things a lot better than even Skyrim.

It is incredibly fun and incredibly difficult. You will die. But it's all part of the game. And that makes it less frustrating knowing that, while dying is a mistake, that its supposed to happen. A lot.

I am excited to see what the added content will be. I will most likely give away my Xbox 360 version so I can go back through on PC.

Just look at the visuals:

Boss Fights!

Dear fellow PC gamers: GET EXCITED.

Will you be purchasing Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition?

Well its not like we didn't all want it on PC before, when we put down thousands of signatures for it to come to PC.

Though I'm not rebuying it for a few new levels, I hope they can put this stuff on all systems across the board.

WHy post something that everyone knows alread? We signed a petition for a reason.

I'm very excited. I loved Demons Souls back when I had a ps3 and never got a chance to play Dark Souls. The port comes out on my birthday too. Can't wait!

I just wish they spent a bit more time and made sure everything will be optimized / polished for PC. Unless they said anything about it, from what I recall, nothing will be enhanced (graphics wise) and a controller will be required.trastamad03

Yeah, they are committing the worst sins in PC gaming

-FPS will be locked at 30

-requires GFWL

-no keyboard and mouse support (what??)

-Resolution locked at 720p.

I fail to see the point of buying this version....

The resolution is not locked at 720p. No art assets will be updated though.

GFWL was only on the German box. Namco said no decisions was made and we'll find out more around E3.

It has mouse and keyboard support. I don't see it being too useful though. The game is designed for controllers and it's perfect with them. A true PC gamer wouldn't complain about this, after all one of the platform's strengths is the ability to use a variety of peripherals.

And finally, if the physics and animations are capped at 30 fps, then the game should be capped at 30 fps too. Only a problem for graphics whores. You can't ask them to overhaul the engine and recreate all animations just to stroke your ego.

Generally its a good idea to conduct some further investigation after you read the first bad translations and instant Internet rage:P

It was on a forum somewhere, the devs openly said it themselves. Because they have never made a PC game before it was a little daunting to them so they aren't doing much extra. Just porting it directly to PC. Just adding extra enemies

But the thing is people will find workarounds for these things like they did for LA Noires locked framerate. And at least at 30 FPS it will be soild at that and not suddenly drop greatly or stutter like the console version. At least I hope not

Hasn't been verified.

Might be removed but it sucks.

-no keyboard and mouse support (what??)

It has typical kbm controls. They said that they wouldn't be changing the game to accommodate kbm controls, but it would still be playable.

-Resolution locked at 720p.

He said texture resolution will be the same, nothing about display resolution.

hmmm

Better than Skyrim? Wow, that sure has to be a great RPG! :roll:

If they release a demo maybe I'll change my tune but, as it is now, and from what I've seen and read, I couldn't care less about this game. I didn't not sign a petition for nothing.

Also would like to note that Skyrim wasn't even in my top ten for last year.

Point is... many PC gamers don't have consoles and haven't played it but are interested. I can safely say that if you are interested... go ahead.

PS... There is NO WAY the resolution is locked at 720p.

i really liked it on 360, cant wait until it comes to pc. The console version was less than 720p and had framerate issues especially in certain areas. I cant wait to play it again!

Ill get it on PC mainly because of the voice chat through Skype and ventrilo :P

I really want it but all these crappy rumors about how much the PC version is going to suck makes it hard to be hyped.

As long as the FPS issues are fixed for hte PC version Ill buy. The slowdowns on the ps3 version was a pain in the butt and seemed to be ignored by the majoriety of the press in reviews. This is one of the only issues I had with the game, common sense says this probelm SHOULD be fixed for the pc version.

I really want it but its unlikely I will buy it. They are intentionally making a shoddy port to save money.bonafidetk

Besides "hurr GFWL" there isn't much to complain about yet.

Yeah it seems like some people are really reaching for reasons to complain before the damn game is out.

Goes to show that PC gamers being vocal is both a gift and a curse, the case of Dark Souls showing both sides here (their vocality allowing the game to come to the platform, while immature whiners making things up or taking them out of context just to hate on the game long before its out like whiny children).

I'm definitely looking forward to it after playing it on the PS3. GFWL is annoying but I think it'd be better to buy Dark Souls to show that there is a market for such games and at the same time tell From Software/Namco Bandai that GFWL is horrible and detracts from the excellent game that is Dark Souls and that their next Souls game would be far better off without it.

...and (especially with dark souls), dying doesn't take you too far back. there's still the thrill of having your life at risk, but dying isn't much of a setback. you learned something, and you had fun while it lasted, now go and try again.BrunoBRS

I've been hearing nothing but good things about the game so I may look into it. If my memory serves me correctly, though, the game is only available through windows live. I've only had to use the service once and I ended up losing my saved files for the game that I had associated with it so I'm a little wary.

Dark souls was one of the best games I've ever played. Both Dark Souls and Demon's Souls make my top 5 list ever in about 30 years of gaming.

Even if the port isn't perfect, PC gamers are in for a treat.

Dark Souls reputation already precedes it. Hell, it did with Demon's Souls. Most of us that were/are curious about DS already know about its incredible difficulty level. So it's safe to say that those people who are planning to buy it alreday know what they're getting themselves into. Perhaps, the TC is late to the party, but it isn't so bad to revisit what's cool about this game for anticipating PC gamers. Elann2008

The difficulty was waaay overhyped. I've never understood all of the people that complained about its difficulty on ps3 and 360. There is an easy mode in DS. Its called co-op. Whenever you get stuck, invite a couple of people and stand back while they kill the boss for you.

glad more gamers joined the club. yes, it's the best RPG ever made and absolutely genre defining. I can't wait for the PC release, I said on PS3 forum that I will buy every DLC from this game at full price and I will!! that extra 4 lvls and bosses at 1080P are more than enough to seal the deal.

a little bit about my DS experience(that might greatly enhances your experience) my first 85 hours in dark souls turns out I know nothing about dark souls, cause I apporch this game with demon's souls philosophy, and only did 2 play though, till my wife bought the game and drag me to play together, she trained me and give me tons epic gears, it is then I found the secret of humanity, which is what this game is all about, you tigger extra story, hidden passage, unexpected hidden enemies and extra loot when you travel with humanity, yes, it's rare to get and easier to lose(every time you die)I know most DS players don't want risk to travel along with humanity.

every play through never turn out the same twice, you will make choice, only ONCE in a full playthough, nothing is particularity right or wrong, you will get the loot and consequence for your decision, ruthless, responsible and fun.

my friend, till you find the secret painted world of aramis in the lvl in your first pic, and when the undead dragon landed on your head, you will understand why dark souls is above and beyond what "best RPG" can describe.

that is true, but the co-op system in dark souls was never well explained(the most innoviatiing system I ever thought possible for a video game) in fact half DS players don't even know how to invite , when you had a humanity on you,not only you can invite, it also made you an open target for the evil black phantom(PVPer) that will do nothing but ruin your progress, as far as I know almost half DS players never travel with humanity on them. they play it like demon's souls.

Pretty awesome game. Good enought for me to buy it twice I think.
