ATTENTION: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition coming to PC in August

[QUOTE="Microsoft1234"] it's from a japense developer, but trust me-this isn't a jrpgGuppy507

LOL

The creator od Demon and Dark Souls said that when he shipped the game, it was complete and needed no DLC. So does that meant the PS3 and Xbox versions won't be getting additional content?

yeah, saying a game is not a JRPG or WRPG because it wasn't deloped in Japan/the west is like Saying Pizza that wasn't made in Greece is not really pizza.

More than likely they get the new bosses as DLC for consoles...

That's not close to the same "Pizza" doesn't specify a region. The problem here is instead of using real genres that indicate the differences, everyone started using regions.Devil-Itachi

From Software has made only one PC game (Ninja Blade) and it apparently had technical issues. There are lots of ways they could screw it up if they do it in-house.

Honestly, after playing through the game countless times the only boss I would classify as 'hard' would have been 4 kings on new game +, and that's only because they fvcking hit hard as hell and if you don't hurry more of them appear. Just get a good shield and you can block pretty much everything in the game.

You could have your jRPG argument 20 years ago, but now, when bassicaly every single big game uses outsourcing it just doesn't mak any ense.

I am estimating that 50% of the System Wars population is raging at this news, if previous forum posts are anything to go by.

That said, I am curious as to who's freakin' rich enough to convince From Software to develop on the PC.

Though I don't think anyone cares what made them think it was a good idea. I would like to think that console gamers will have to respect this.

Played it on PS3, but looking forward to playing the definitive version that doesnt have massive slowdown in Blighttown.

Edit: You could say that it is indicative of the art style in the game. Afterall would this even be a debate if Dark Souls used the same art as Tales of Symphonia for instance. I don't think it would be.

Diablo 3

Torchlight 2

Dark Souls

Guild Wars 2

Thank God l didn't buy a console and prefer to upgrade my PC...

[QUOTE="PC360Wii"] [QUOTE="Dead-Memories"]

one of the most breathtaking games ever created, this and demon's souls make me appreciate video games as an artform.

the game is pretty much a moving picture of elegance, even in its most darkest settings.

Anor Lando- perfection.

picture doesn't do the area justice, but when I first saw it the city in the background of the sunset I was blown away.

Mazoch

wow, that looks worse than skyrim on low settings. real talk. those look like PS2 textures.

It's not an especially good looking game by current gen standards, but it looks decent enough and it's a great game. I'll be picking up a second copy for the PC when it's released.

I have a gut feeling that this game is going to be on the top of the top 100 list on torrent sites. This game is very single player focused which doesn't provide incentives for people to purchase the game at all just like many other RPGs on PC which have mediocre sales.

And the hate on PC gamers begins...oh nooooo they are all pirates...PC gamers don deserve this game...and the story goes on and on.

Just so you have an idea der good sir, this is just my Steam Library not counting my Boxed games:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/II-Siamak-II/games?tab=all

The Witcher 2 has been pirated over 5 million times...

But only 1 million people actually bought the game, through a physical or a digital outlet.

-

I'm not saying you shouldn't release it for PC because of that statistic, but 5 million is quite a staggering number.

I already have it and I hope to God these bosses come to the console versions as DLC. I'd hate to miss out on them.

Yay,pirating day 1!MonsieurX

I hope it is but with the amount of sh*t he says I wouldn't doubt if it were him.

The witcher 2 has sold nealry 2 million units on PC so far.

With a TINY budget for marketing.

The marketing push for the consoles has been 10 times larger at least. They did that, because otherwise they wouldn't sell a single unit. Consoel gamers only care about marketing, not games.

I'm guesisng the current marketing will increase PC sales too though. I'll bet it tallies a total of 3 million after 2 years on the market on PC and 1.5 million on consoles.

Pretty good for a small Easter European studio.

Good luck to the devs. I'm sure they will get great sales now that it's on PC and not to mention PC users (like myself) have been DYING for a game like this.

BTW: Anyone who pirates this game is a @#$%ing moron.

Imagine how much more our games would sell if they were marketed just as much as consoles :P

One million were bought legitimately.

That's staggering.

peterw007

Their calculation of piracy is based purely on speculation,not including any important factors like erratic speeds in P2P downloads,or slower Internet speeds in many countries that pirate the most.Now Im not saying the game wasn't pirated heavily,it probably was,but I don't trust that CDPR's statement that isn't backed by any true facts...

On the other hand,Witcher 1&2 were both financial successes,both provided good profit to the developer,and enabled them to expand.Piracy rate,whatever it was,didn't stop Witcher games from bringing great ammounts of profit,and that's what matters the most...

Of course, and I have no doubt that Namco Bandai will achieve financial success by releasing this title on the PC.

But massive amounts of piracy are never a good thing for a video game, and some developers (like Epic Games) have decided to forego releasing their games on the PC specifically because of rampant piracy.

We know that Dark Souls will be heavily, heavily pirated on the PC.

The question really is "Will the mass amount of piracy be enough to dissuade the publisher from future PC releases?"
