Anyone smart enough not to order it on consoles has been rewarded with the early availability of this Miyazaki Masterpiece ™

That means 60 FPS, higher resolutions, more control options, and more hours before the console owners can even light their first bonfire.

Seriously though, the game's live on Steam, go play.

Yeah the impressions have been good so far regarding the optimization.

Glad I grabbed the PC version. Heard there were still dips, but i'm hitting 60fps so far.

Amazing how these games manage to draw you in.

me too, I bought a ps4 a couple of months ago and bought bloodborne, great game but I got caught up in other games. I really loved ds1 but ds2 was kinda crappy, so with bloodborne still in my back log I don't really know if I should buy this or not. I mean review scores can be really misleading , van ord gave it a 9 but i realy wouldn't give it more than a 7. I would have given bloodborne a 9 though.

All you PC fans make me jealous on one hand and confused on the other, jealous because Id love to play all my favorite games at 1080p 60fps (or higher) but confused because you all never mention the negatives with PC gaming like price, having to upgrade every few years to get the most out of games, ignorance that some people have when it comes to how PCs work, and no split screen. All of which is why I'll put up with consoles.

@primorandomguy: I use all the systems, but I don't really see cost as a negative. It is what it is, as I get much better performance as opposed to consoles.

There are legitimate grievances with some games, such as AC4 where I have to force triple buffering to actually get the game to perform at a solid 60fps, as opposed to 30-60. It's simply the nature of the beast.

Because you would be asking us to state false hoods and misinformation, not negatves,PC gaming can be as cheap as consoles even cheaper if you want depending on what you want to play and you can still get the most out of games without having to max the graphics, also you dont HAVE to upgrade you WANT to upgrade and having that choice is not a negative,other peoples ignorance or a non willingness to learn anything new about something they have shown interest in is their personal problem/failiure and not the PC's an open platform having a slghtly higher learning curve than a closed system is just common sense, and if there are no splitscreen games on the pc then why do me and my mates play splitscreen/coop/hotseat games every week at my house on my PC?

Also it's inspiriing to hear that you have to "put up" with a gaming platfrom of your choice, it sounds awesome :-/

I spent the past 25 years on the one that offers me everything i need because the positives outweigh the negatves so vastly that they are rarely even worth consideriing:P

Okay so its not all sunshine and roses on thiis side of the fence, there are negatves but the negatives that console gamers always seem to bring up as their reason not to use it are rarely factually true at least not for the last decade or more :)

Your negatives come from a view on the outside.

PC is cheap, you upgrade when you want to, you cease being ignorant to how PCs work after spending a couple hours learning to build one, and there are TONS of local multiplayer games on PC nowadays.

The PC gaming stigmas have been around since forever, but they've never been less true. It's as if the PC has gone through a radical redesign over the last decade. Hardware is all plug and play, and games are easy to get up and running with all the new digital platforms that allow for auto-updates. You just have to let go of the old ideas. They aren't relevant anymore.

@naz99: You just came off as a massive fanboy, it's not a personal problem failure because someone doesn't take time to learn how gaming pcs work. I didn't have to take time to learn how consoles work.

Personal choice and speaking from an informed viepoint is not being a fanboy, if i was telling others that they made the wrong choice and i made the right one then maybe i would be , but i didnt, so...........

+1 for effort

Edited the post for clarifcaton as it clearly want obvious enough.

The first two games are know for save modding and cheating on the PC,especially after the first few weeks.

PC gamers won't tell you that,they feel comfort to have 10-20% cheaters among those encounters(and most people have modded their save,it's not an issue).

I will suggest to finish your first play through on the console.
