[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]My housemate got the game and was indeed very annoyed, despite my warnings. He ended up getting a controller, and the resolution mod doesn't work for him. He's still playing the game, because hey, he spent the money, but I don't see why people shouldn't complain and give feedback to seemingly incompetent developers. Maybe he didnt install it correctly, seems to work very well for most people. try re downloading it and make sure it is the latest version Version 0.2 did not work for me, but V 0.4 works just fine.[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] Most of the people crying here have not even played the game they are just bashing and complaing because they can. the people that actually are playing the game like myslef, can see this is way over blown. I installed the rez fix day1 and plugged in a controller. I dont have any issues, sure i could come on here and cry all day that from should have fixed the rez themselves, but I dont give a damn someone else did and it was free so whats the difference , other then to complain over and over on the forums about a game you havent played. Advid-Gamer
Yea darksouls looks amazing with the mod, I donated money to the mod maker, he deserves it. Hard to believe all those textures were hidden under all that blur.Damn, alot of jelly console peasants itt. PC be taken their games, fixing them, and making em' better :D Don't worry cows and lems, next gen you might get your HD edition that doesn't run at 8fps. :lol:

omg, Dark Souls on PC sucks ? :cry:
parkurtommo
It's not up to standards on PC gaming but it's still the best version of the game.
No it's not, please stop saying this.Yes it is:
Same gameplay as consoles - check.
Same controls as consoles - check.
More content than the console version. +1
NO framerate issues like the console version has. +1
Same graphics as consoles - check. ( improved with a high rez mod :D ) +1
Mods on PC version +1
-
Whats going on here is this: You console fanboys are jumping all over the PC version saying it looks crap because of its low resolution ( unmodded ) but whats really special about all your childish laughs and giggles is that you like to pretend the unmodded resolution of the PC version is worse than the console version, when it is not.
Using that as some kind of ownage against PC gamerswhen the PC version is no worse than it is on consoles just shows how desperate you all are to get 1up on the leading system and you are making complete fools of yourselves.
...Carry on, please.
How do you get the HUD to disappear for the screenshots?Damn, alot of jelly console peasants itt. PC be taken their games, fixing them, and making em' better :D Don't worry cows and lems, next gen you might get your HD edition that doesn't run at 8fps. :lol:

[QUOTE="Nanomage"]if you use the 360 controllerparkurtommoExactly... You have to use a controller for both other versions. That means that the PC version of the game is superior. You may have to use a controller on it, but why would that make it worse than the console versions?
It's great to have the option. It sucks when the game is virtually unplayable unless you use a gamepad. The game should be playable with kb/m when that is the primary control scheme used on pc. I would rather From didn't bother porting the game rather than doing a halfassed job of it.Hemits love to brag about mods and the ability to use a gamepad, but when a game arrives that actually requires those, they cry their eyes out ...

[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 anywaysparkurtommoIt's actually not playable basically with kb/m. ................. And? This was pretty clear before release that this would be the case.. Nothing is stopping one from purchasing a $20 controller to play the game.. As a pc gamer I find this a pretty weak complaint, especially when there are games out there on the PC that the mouse and keyboard are certainly not the first choices to be using..

damn people asking for decent products, who do they think they are.
The problem is that the game is fixed now. The mod was out on release day the game looks and plays great. Yet you people are still crying.You guys asked for a console only game to be ported and now cry that it plays better with a controller?how many people signed the petition? how many pc gamers are out there? how many people are complaining about this? you're making it seem like the answer to all three questions is the same number. do you not think you're stereotyping here?

.......... And I would like to know how a petition some how equates to begging? The developers are not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, they saw a profit opportunity and took it.. When you pay money for a product, you expect it to have certain standards comparable to other products.. If it doesn't why shouldn't it be criticized?

.......Great keyboard set up like Assassin's Creed games which almost the exact same controller mechanics? I am sorry but there is no real precise free aiming in there.. ITs all based around locking on.. So no I disagree with you there.. When you have a lock mechanic, one of the biggest benefits of the mouse is unneeded..

It's not necessarily all about gaing some kind of advantage, its about the enjoyment and comfort many have the the kb&m for gaming in general. And since obviously it is the default control scheme for pc. I also like to fight most of the lower-mid tier enemies of the areas free aim.If it dosent pertain to you I wasnt talking about you.

I recorded the beginning of the game using the resolution and dof fix.

It's not my first time playing the game, and so far I've killed two out of the four story bosses. I believe there are plenty of people ahead of me already.

This is one thing we can finally agree on. The mod maker is amazing and deserves some donations, amazing work.

You have no idea what "self entitlement" or even "entitlement" is, never use the word again.
It means a person thinks he deserves something/benefit based on their standard without concerning other people welfare, isn't it? If not, enlighten me then, I'm not an English speaker.Demanding any PC port to be 1080p @ 60 fps is, IMO, entitlement. Keep whining even after getting the best version of the game is, IMO, entitlement.
From Software terrible @ making PC port is nothing new (Ninja Blade ring a bell?). They even warn about it before hand, so you don't have to buy it if it's fail to meet your expectation. When it's a sh!tty port, it's still a good game, it functions alright, that's the end of the deal. It's fixed within hour after release. Now you have an excellent quality game. But no, lets keep trashing the dev on how terrible they're and how their product doesn't meet one standard despite being warned before hand.
I, on the other hand, just glad that the game's fixed. How about getting the mod & enjoy the game?

What standard controller are you talking about? For this game, the standard controller is the xbox360 controller. The game was designed for console. They even mentioned it in the manual: http://cdn.steampowered.com/Manuals/211420/DARKSOULS_PC_MANUAL_ANZ.pdf Page 7: "Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition was created to play using the Xbox 360® controller." I'm well aware that kb/m control for this game is nearly unplayable, and they've done a bad job @ binding key & mouselook (hopefully a fix in the future). However, people should control the game as how it's meant to be controlled, just like no one plays DMC with kb/m.[QUOTE="rzepak"]

When you pay for a game you have every right in the world to expect it to adhere to the set standard of the system, it is not entitlement for you to expect it to. It does not matter which system. Wii, 360, PS3, PC, GB, PSP all have their own standards and features that should be supported by a game released on the platform. A game released on Wii should utilise the motion controls, if it does not you have the right to criticise and ask why its not. A person buying a game on PS3 can or even should expect sixaxis functionality. Do you remember the outcry when the first PS3 pads did not have rumble? That was because Sony took away a feature that was part of the system. If a movie is released on Blu-ray but looks like a dvd, the customer who bought it has every right to scream bloody murder because the product he bought is not up to the standard set by the format.
The standard controller for PC is the keyboard and mouse. That means the game should have kb/m controls that are atleast servicable. Its understandable that a game that was made with a gamepad in mind will work better with a pad, but that does not mean kb/m can be half assed. I have played fighting games that worked with kb/m just fine, was it better than with a pad? Ofcourse not, but PCs are about choice. The current kb/m controls in Dark Souls are simply nonsensical. There are a thousand better ways to set them up, not only that but the menus were not changed at all to make it work better with kb/m.
Another set standard for PC games is a multitude of options when it comes to graphics. Its been that way for years. If someones PC is weaker than standard then he should be able to turn down some options. If someone has a rig he should be able to max the thing.
Mods do not exist to allow devs to half ass their job. Its great that there is the resolution fix, but what it shows is that it was not that hard to make the game just a bit better. Its not entitlement to expect a developer, who you are paying, to do the job well. FromSoftwore ported the game to make money. If they were not expecting to make money, no petition would get them to port the thing. Having no experiance with PC ports is no excuse. Both Demon Souls and Dark Souls had pretty small budgets and huge sales. They have money. FromSoftware is not a one man indie dev team. Theyre published by Namco Bandai.
Finally to end my little rant...people need to stop acting as if developers were children that need protection. If you feel some sort of motherly instinct kicking in then find yourself someone and have kids. A game development studio is a buisness, it is not a child.

It just wasnt meant for the PC. Its a console game, maybe if PCs had the same powerful hardware as the consoles it would run a little better but I doubt it.EzcapeTheFate
runs better than consoles already. did you not read the review?

Nopeokay then.
Its a great game with a piss poor lazy port, THANKFULLY though we have a wonderful modder in the pc community that has released some great stuff.
The game is now recomendable to friends, if they have a controller of course, the K+M controls are still bad.
It really is amazing what a good modder can do, simply amazing.
I remember this happening with Gothic3, it was released in a bad state, a really bad state, but when mods where released it became a very good game.
