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

[QUOTE="rjdofu"][QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

thinking that your standard controller should work properly with a game you buy (weren't gifted) is an example of entitlement?

i'm referring to the standard controller for the pc. it's not a 360 gamepad. does it say "created to play using the 360 controller" on the game box or just in the manual? steam has no mention of it.

[QUOTE="rjdofu"] 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.rjdofu

Still, for others that dont own a controller and dont know how to mod, this release was not a good experience at all.

I actually had to go over to my friends place (who just got a gamign pc last week, his first one) and lend him my 360 controller and show him how to mod games. The icons kept showing up as 360 icons when all he had was K+M was very confusing for him.

A PC version of a game SHOULD always have K+M controls that work imo, and the icons that show up should be for what ever control input you are using.

Still, once we got him those two mods and gave him my 360 controller he was pretty stoked, it just took a little bit to get it all set up for him and show him how things work.

I love Dark Souls, just on release day this was not a very good port (for many reasons), but not thanks to a wonderful modder the game is great and the best version around (if you have a controller and dont mind modding some things).

For me it would not be as big of a deal as I know how to mod and I own a 360 controller, but for some people they dont have a controller and dont have the experience with pcs yet to know how to mod it can be a pain in the ass.

I am just glad that this modder did such a good job :)

Dont like the idea of having to rely on modders to fix broken parts of your game, but its not the first game and wont be the last. Still, even games that I love, if its a average ot bad port I think people should atleast know about it and be warned (if you dont own a controller would be best idea to stay awy from this game atm,etc..).

i have and use a 360 controller too. however, i know it's not the standard controller. many third person games like dark souls have been made to work perfectly fine with a kb&m so it is a legitimate problem. what if it had been the other way around? what if a console port controlled horribly with a gamepad and pretty much required buying something else to play it with and with no real warning? that would not be viewed favorably either.

some did. i doubt it was anybody here. when you pay for something, it should work properly.

Yep, just as bad as the console version. I've spent several hours just trying to get my buddy into my game. Its getting really frustrating since I thought it wouldn't be this way on PC.

PC gamers demanded for the game, not begged for it. :roll:

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"][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.

The only reason the thing may not work is because your friend did not turn off in-game AA and motion blur.
