PC gamers don't like JRPGS thats why there aren't many on PC

Zurrur

This is more like a WRPG, it just comes from Japan. Demons Souls feels like it should be a PC game, and I am sure Dark Souls is no different.

Why bother? You want it, buy a plastic box, it's not like they're expensive. Don't see the need to make a fuss to try to get ports of games like this one.

I have it on ps3 but it would be nice to see the game run on a playable framerate.

It would be good for the versatility of the platform, but personally, I wouldn't get this game.

Dark souls being played at a constant 60 fps would be glorious. As far as putting the controls on the keyboard&mouse, the only thing that might be an issue are the basic&heavy attacks, shielding&parry/shield bash. All those actions belong on the mouse in someway. Perhaps holding a specific key(shift or space?) while clicking to perform a heavy attack or parry/shield bash. And obviously simply left clicking will basic attack and right clicking will put shield up without holding any key. Other than that i think the game will control wonderfully natural on a kb&m. Steam release would also be a must for highest publicity and sales. I would buy multiple copies for friends and myself if they went through with this.

I'm a hermit, and this is one of the few console games I actually like. (I usually hate stuff like Gears and Halo, though Uncharted is again one I like, so maybe I'm just an oddball. :P )

I never heard any hermits say anything other than "sucks it's not on the PC" about Dark Souls. Me included.

Looks like an awesome game.

[QUOTE="iamrob7"]

This is a good idea. The only console exclusive I actually have a particular interest in. I almost considered buying a PS3 just to try it, but despite it being so cheap to do so, buying a console for just one game seemed a little ridiculous. I hope they release it on the PC, it seems like the kind of title that would be an obvious success on that platform.

loosingENDS

Actually since everyone would have played it on xbox 360 and PS3, would be the ultimate failure in sales

The petition has 12 signatures so far, misses just another 99.988 at least to mean anything

Show us Dark Souls sales for 360!! Link?

You mean the game will be playable only with controller ? Then will be fine i guess, but only 0.00001% play only with controller and would sell nothing

If it would come to PC, would have to support keyboad and mouse, destroying the gameplay completly

He sure did. Like "multiplats look 100x better on 360 than PS3" and "360 games are 1000x more interesting" and all the drivel he usually rolls out.

Not really sure what you're getting at there. I can't speak for all Hermits, but Dark Souls seems to me like one of the few highly-desirable console-exclusive RPGs.

Anyway, if they put it on Steam it would get decent sales. Complex RPGs sell well on the PC, particularly in Europe.

He's a 360 fanboy and one of his favorite things is to brag to hermits that they dont't get Dark Souls. He's just upset that we might.

I would love it, but I never had too much hope on petitions. Plus, I already have this game on the 360, so...

But if it comes to the PC it's a day 1 buy none the less.

The only kind of "hate" I've seen to this game was from the Skyrim faction, and even then, it wasn't as severe as other kinds of hate.

The Namco employee said himself/herself that it was a possibility if the petition got enough signatures. Imagine playing Dark Souls at 60fps with NO lag. :cry: Would save me the trouble of having to buy the PS3 version.

I was always quite baffled why it wasn't ported. The game is very well suited to PC gamers tastes. And you can bet in continental Europe it would easily outsell any console version.

That said, I doubt very much this will happen. If interest is high enough then at most I can see them consider it for Dark Souls 2.

Yes, but console gamers actually would like to play those games because they believe they are good games. More often than not, the large majority of pc gamers tend to write off the entire console experience--"you're doing it wrong"--in regards to playing games on consoles.

Browsing around, Namco seems to be set on expanding to the PC. Ridge Racer Unbounded is also going to be available for the PC. So perhaps, there is a chance Dark Souls PC may happen after all.

Saying that doesn't automatically make them right. I don't think the 4 - 5 "specific" individuals here make up enough to be a majority. I'd personally like to see a PC version just so I can play it without the terrible framerate it has. Me saying that has nothing to do with "elitism."

I would love to see a PC version and if they release it for PC it should not be a lazy port. Increase the graphics, make sure the game work in a good way with K/M. Allow people to select graphic levels (low / medium etc etc (with lots of advanced options thrown in).

8000 signatures in 8 hours. Not bad ...

Combined with Namco representative's statement:

You are right about petition in a way: when the number of people who actually sign it is low, this turn as a joke. But when it starts to involve thousand(s) people, then it's another story.

Sounds like there's hope for hermits :)

Has about as much chance as a Wii version coming out. Extremely slim or not at all. The game sold 1.3 million copies on consoles. The demand for a PC version would be below 200K no doubt. All Namco would do is port the XBox 360 version to the PC. I doubt anything new would be added to it. Namco wouldn't waste the money to do that. They know it won't sell much on the PC.

8000 signatures is nothing. When it gets to 800K let Namco know.

800k is a real big stretch, and 200k would be worth the investment anyway. This isn't a very high budget game.

Dark Souls is one of the few games from console I would like on PC.

The graphics upgrade alone would make it at least 500% better than the console version (minimum, could be like 600% even).

I would even go out on a limb and say the PC version would be better than all console games ever made combined.
