[QUOTE="musicalmac"]I wonder why this is a big deal.Siamak8286

yea please do tell why you would think its not a bid deal....

I think online petitions with over 90k signatures from a game community demanding a particular game that actually ended up working happens too often for this to be a significant event

Wait... what? This is coming to the PC? Awesome. Even though I do have PS3, I prefer playing on my PC and I've been wanting this game so this is certainly good news!

I wonder why this is a big deal.musicalmac
because it's an amazing niche game being ported to the PC by a previously console-only dev based out of japan - a pretty rare occurrence!

From Software is actually quite a mainstream Japanese studio...they have 200+ employees.

And From Software has released two titles to the PC before, so this wasn't that much of a stretch.

They aren't mainstream in the West, where the PC market really matters.

Those issues weren't to do with hardware. It was just sh.tty game design flaws. I can recall other places which had horrendous slowdown (10 fps at most) where there was seemingly nothing taxing happening. I'm wondering how the port will be, if they'll have a UI redesign for the mouse and if there will still be horrid PvP imbalances through glitching backstabs.

[QUOTE="tenaka2"]

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]Is it? Hardcore PC RPG fans will propably argue it just an action game pretending to be RPG and failing at it.

Bread_or_Decide

Well it is mostly a hack n slash really.

It's a dungeon crawler style RPG. How is it an action game pretending to be an RPG?

It's largely based on player's own skills instead of skills of the characters (sign of action game) and doesn't really let you roleplay.
Personally I don't care. I just found the "hardcore RPG" moniker to be funny. Because while Dark Souls is hardcore game that is also RPG, it's not really "hardcore RPG" in a way RPGCodex would describe it. That's not an argument against the game itself, it just made Supabul's attempt at trolling pretty funny failure

Great new game ported to PC. What's not to enjoy.

Why the negativity? I mean, you made a thread about Baldurs Gate on iPad, when in reality it's nowhere near as much of a big deal as Dark Souls on PC is.

I know I should look through this topic to see if anyone mentioned this already but, are they making the game somewhat mod capable? Oh an since this is the PC we're talking about here, wouldn't cheating be more present?

There could potentially be cheaters, but it could never be as bad as on the 360.

Gentleman, please. I never said it was a bad thing, there wasn't a hint of negativity in the comment.

I just didn't understand why this was a bombshell announcement. It's not like the game is some technical marvel, or a graphical showpiece. Mouse and keyboard will not benefit anyone, as it would with a FPS port.

I'd apologize for not being as excited about Dark Souls on PC as I am about Baldur's Gate on iPad, but quite frankly I'm not sorry. :P

The fact (for me) is that I'm already enjoying Dark Souls on my 360 (that's a Microsoft product, need I remind you), and I'd love to enjoy my Baldur's Gate experience all over again -- only this time on the go.

So you can put the dogs of war back in the kennel run, though I am flattered I can be a topic of conversation within a topic. I had no idea I had influenced you all so much. :P

Your comment reads "why is this a big deal" like you have no knowledge of how this game coming to PC came into fruition. Basically, a forum post turns into a petition that gains nearly 100k supporters and within months the game is announced. How many other examples are there of this happening? None that I can think of

Of course the framrate will be better on high-end systems. So those few gamers won't suffer through a handful of annoying framerate dips. It's not like the game, in its current state, is nearly unplayable on consoles. It's not without flaws, but they certainly don't detract from the experience. It's not going to be a very different experience.

No, I said you making a trollish comment and getting responses from it, but then ignoring it, is not respectable. I never said I would be ignoring you.

And I have already explained above on why it is a big deal that it was ported.

The framerate was one of the main problems with the game on consoles, from what I hear (Demon's Souls certainly has awful framerate in spots). The PC version should solve that.

As for the controls, it's a relatively complex game so a keyboard can only help. And in a dream scenario it would have a PC-specific interface.

So the PC version isn´t only getting new bosses but new areas,new enemies,new weapons and armor and new npc´s,as well as a revamped online system?

That´s sure sounds sweet.

Edit: Ok GFWL sure makes it a bit less sweet but it´s not really a big deal lol.

If they optimize it properly, the framerate will be better on low-end systems.

You really should not need anything remotely high-end to run Dark Souls.
