"This is one of the worst ports we've ever seen" Gamespy on Dark Souls

if you order a filet mignon and instead get a hamburger patty with a dead rat on it are you a spoiled brat for being annoyed? should you just move the rat, eat the burger, and just be glad that you were allowed to eat at the restaurant?

oh stfu :lol:

One poses a genuine risk to your health.

The other is being given no special treatment.

Hardly comparable, geez Hermits are deluded.

i can already see it, "sold terribly on pc because of pirating, it has noting to do with our bad and lazy port"

Krelian-co

Its not even worth pirating IMO.

[QUOTE="blackace"][QUOTE="ispeakfact"]Superior version. :PJankarcop

So you need Console technology to make it playable?

:| :lol:

I knew Hermits were penniless bottom feeders but this is just laughable.

LOL n4g called this a pc port.

This is a console port to pc lmao

What a stupid analogy. If that's what you are going to compare this to, do correct at least.

You looked on the menu and there wasn't filet mignon to begin with. Just flat out not on the menu. You cried about it to the waiter/waitress long enough that the cook decided to make an exception and cook it for you. When it was delivered you still got a filet mignon except it was slightly undercooked and they didn't have the dressings you like. You then continue to complain and cry about what you got even thought the cook did YOU the favor by cooking something not on the menu. Yeah, I would say that's ungrateful and spoiled.

it was a perfectly fine analogy.

[QUOTE="Jankarcop"]

[QUOTE="blackace"] I told them it would be a port. Hopefully this will stop hermits from starting petitions to beg for console games to be made for the PC. I knew it was going to be crap which is why I own the PS3 version. The game was made from the ground up on the PC. Obviously_Right

So you need Console technology to make it playable?

[QUOTE="Obviously_Right"]

[QUOTE="Jankarcop"] Its much better on PC as long as you have a controller. There is nothing to counter this fact.

[QUOTE="themagicbum9720"][QUOTE="kozzy1234"]

Its not playable for everyone actually.

Not to mention my friend had to have me come over and lend him my 360 wired controller to play the game :lol:

The keyboard and mouse controls are horrible also (Literally unplayable for some).

When we played, there was 360 icons coming up even though there was no 360 controller hooked up (reason why he got me to bring it over in the first place). Says press A to pick things up, but if you are using keyboard and mouse you have no idea what that button is. The Menus suck and the list goes on.

Dark Souls and Darksiders2 are the worst ports ive seen since Saints Row2 and RE4.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]pc gamers need to stop b*tching. they got a game they weren't going to get and its playable. get over yourselves. dark souls sucks anywaysparkurtommo

[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"]

[QUOTE="Zeviander"]And From never promised anything more than a direct, non-optimized port. PC gamers demanded they get the game, Namco-Bandai ordered From make it, they did as they were told.MFDOOM1983

Yup. Just getting the game, unoptimized as it is, should be plenty.

Nice assumption. This is one of those games that was always unlikely to ever come to PC, that it even exist on PC is quite incredible and nothing short of a gaming "miracle". The bare bones port is at worst, similiar to the console version in every way and inferior in none. It comes with the free content and at a lower price than PS3/360. I don't understand how anyone can feel dissatisfied with the port, considering the developers and their inexperience with the PC.

everyone should have a controller for their pc. idk how people play any kind of game that requires driving or a game like darksiders with a kb/m mems_1224

It's a metaphor. They tend to exaggerate. "Mountain out of a molehill".

Since when are controllers "Console technology"? They've existed for years on both consoles and the PC.

Well at least there a fix for the resolution. I probably wouldn't be bothered by the rest much if I did get this port.

u still gotta install the driver for xp moronsRusus

Windows PC's annual unit sales is around 300 million.

Tablets and laptops with Intel HD 4000 would enable fleet wide Xbox 360 gaming experience in a mobile package.

There's a large product releases with Intel Ivybridge mobile and Windows 8 (which includes Xbox Live) sometime in September and October.

after playing the game for a few hours I can say that I don't care at all what the game looks like anymore. The atmosphere and gameplay are awesome

I did, I was always prepared for the visuals, even though it still annoyed just how bad they were, but I wanted it for the gameplay and that delivered

Also it has some one the coolest enemies I've seen

I can confirm that the london olympics 2012 game is a much worse port than Dark Souls. :P

Are you referring to NBC's coverage of the Olympics? Because if so, then I agree.

I had it on the PS3 back when I had a PS3 and got it again on the PC. It's about the same on both, I'd give the edge to the PC version.

Maybe because they knew the game would sell pitifully, no matter what?

Releasing a primarily Single-Player game on PC is just begging for your product to get pirated.

alan wake and many others disagree

if you make quality products people will buy them, if not they get pirated simple as that.

You get a controller,the resolution mod and you get the best version of dark souls.

Even this bad port for PC standards is better than the console versions, that tells you something about how big of a failure my PS3 version is for example.

It's a shame that PC gamers have to play the broken version of one of the best games this gen. Blightown caused framerate issues on the consoles, I can only imagine how it will play on PC.

SpinoRaptor24

No we don't HAVE to play that version. We play THIS version.

It is a terrible port, but with the HD fix, it's easily the best version.

PC mods save the day again :cool:rjdofu

So, it's the best version, plus additional content, but we have this:

Some possible explanations come to mind:

1. Hermits are lying

and/or

2. They are ungrateful, little brats
