Feedbackula - Dark Souls II Graphical Grumble

Btw: Offical (old) News from the Devs about the Downgrade in a Statement to MCV !

**Dark Souls 2 developer From Software has stepped forward to address backlash over its alleged downgrading of the RPG’s visuals, following claims that the studio made the game look better than it does in trailers and screenshots.**

Do People really accept to get hose/diss like this ?

Ahyey i really like your Show but sometimes take off your f****in pink Glasses, if you buy a Chickenburger would you accept a Fishburger on delivery ? It was a lie from the beginning and you cant do that. I can understand that From Soft hasnt the Manpower and the Money either to realise the preshown Footage but that was the wrong way. Let the People buy and change all Informations, Trailers and Screenshots on release because they doesnt reflect the product anymore. The Graphics are only the bad taste of this Story, like it was for Colonial Marines with the exception, Souls Games have much much more Fans where many still wearing their pink Glasses,

Gamers get lied and scammed since the first Console War started, the way Companies trick out their Customers goes consistently cheekier. They promised that preshown Footages will be actual Game Visual (there are enough proofs for that). Screenshots and Trailer where deleted or changed on the "release" Day with flags like "Provisional" (after the Game was released). Im not a Lawyer but im really sure that this is against Law.

Also promised PC was lead Platform (proofen) ? lie, 8 Year old last gen Consoles (lead Platform) still hold back PC and next gen Consoles. Why the hell Developer still do Games for this massive outdated Hardware and what do you think how People feel if they release Dark Souls 2 on XB1 and PS4 with this improved Visuals ? Where even their this gen is outdated against PC Hardware, it was already outdated more then a year ago.

Atleast we can refund our Games ? but why should we ? People should get for what they payed, People should get what was promised to them. Atleast in my world are promises still important and i talk the truth and dont lie to People no matter for what Reason.

Resident Evil 6 is a solid 6 out of ten, even WITH all the QTE's So yes, it IS still a "thing"

Please don't cancel Feedbackula! It's my favorite show on Gamespot... :(

noooooo plz don't cancel this show it's the best GS show ever!!

What should really be talked about is how difficult the video game is.

"Y U DO DIS!!" RLOL that was so funny! Thank you, you made my day.

On a more serious note:

Sorry to see feedbackula leave but I have a distinct feeling that Johnny really didn't like the show after a while. Listening to so many rude, ill-mannered, inconsiderate, boorish, unenlightened, and ill-bred individuals is enough to stretch one's santiy.

Good job gamespot. I seen this show grow and become rather entertaining over time. Thanks for the laughs!

Resident evil 6 lol

well..it happened. Was a good idea. Definitely don't argue in the comments anymore

To be honest other than the the game being locked on "Hard difficulty" its pretty crappy in every other aspect. Messy Story, Monotonous Gameplay, Fugly Graphics, Rough Animation etc. Take away dark souls permanent hard mode and put it on normal mode and you got an extremely mediocre game. Its challenge is the only thing that 'saves it'

noooooooooooooooooooooo johnnnnnyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get the negativity. I've been playing Dark Souls II for a week now and it looks great to me. Maybe it's because I played the beta and set my expectations to what I saw from that.

This is the only show I care about.... god damn it!

:(

NNNOOOOoooo!!!

This is my favorite show on GS. I was laughing so hard every time you said "What are they going to do, cancel the show?" Right until you said they were really canceling the show Johnny.

I'm sad to see this show end. I know it's because you feel the need to wrap it up and try something new, not because you actually offended anyone. Maybe you could have it come back as a special every once and awhile instead, if you don't want to do it weekly anymore.

In any case, wishing you the best Johnny. It was great while it lasted. Hope to see something new from you coming down the pike soon.

Don't cancel the show. FeedBackula is awesome!! It is my personal goal to make it on this show. Although I really don't have negative things to say and obviously nothing intelligent either. DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!!!!!

You're cancelling feedbackula you monsters!!! this is like the only show i watch and i was so proud when i finally made it on an episode now all i will use game spot for is reviews, news and trolling owners of the Xbox 720p i don't know why you guys are doing this? i suspect Microsoft is behind it somehow oh well i better pick my game up so i can make it on the last episode

Damn..I'm sad to see this show go. One of the best things gamespot has to offer.

What?! GS is canceling Feedbackula?! It was the only worthy thing in this website!! I sure don't care about its crappy reviews. Damn it!

i'm gonna miss you guys. thanks for all the laughs and for teaching me the value of toast.

i love dark souls. its the most perfect game of my life! it makes me feel more alive( by dying all the time=) ) its dark! and it has soul! DARK SOULS! it keeps you on your toes, and makes you curious what will happend next, or what you will find..

your really canceling feedbackula? this is the show that keeps me coming back to gamestop.

dont do it because there will be a need of a feedbackula because of the cancelation of feedbackula... fu*k just got stroke

Well, that sucks. Is it that users are getting upset? Or that they are just sick of doing the show? Maybe it's because they are trying to create a better image for the company.

Calling it now. The last episode of Feedbackula will be about Gamespot cancelling Feedbackula.

wow Feedbackula is ending. It was the only reason to even come to GS anymore.

looks like shit. waiting to see what how the PC looks. b4 i buy

Two things:

Firstly, Gamespot can't very well complain about the tedium of the console wars when it stokes those very same fires locally by posting every non-story where someone even remotely aligned with either "side" said something that can be even vaguely construed as a comment against their "opponents". Either choose to senationalise every drop of "news" or complain. To do both looks disingenuous.

Second, I've watched every single episode of Feedbackula and am sorry to see the show go... partially so. I think it ran its course, but thanks for the free entertainment. I've enjoyed watching. BRING BACK START/SELECT. Kidnap Jane and make her do episodes again if you have to. Or... not? I mean she's doing pretty well in producing Start/Select sort of quality already.

Thanks for the fun times, Johnny. I'm looking forwards to what you do next.

Also, your beard is lop-sided, Johnny. Pop that in your feedback pipe and smoke it.

Hey Gamespot, I've got some Feedbackula for you: your new(ish) video player SUCKS. Seriously, sort it out.

@voldo25 @Kyrylo The PC version is not going to fix the problems with that game. The Mirror Knight I fought at Comic Con with all his lightning and special effects is gone for good and I'm really pissed off about it. Go back and watch that old footage again. You can see all kinds of cool effects happening in that demo. Like when your character hits the Mirror Knight you see this spark and flash I guess you could call it. You can see the rain splashing off his body, all the lightning he shoots from his sword, when you kill an enemy they fall and there is a cloud of black smoke with what looks like electricity flowing through it after they die. It was VERY impressive and running at a steady frame rate too. The PC is NOT going to add all that stuff. No way. I'm calling it.

Either you like it or you don't. I'm a big fan of the series and I'm enjoying this game quite a bit. If you don't like it, don't play it. I won't miss you.

A lovely game if I say so myself I will not disguise my absolute love of this series but the Hardware is 8 years old folks its still looks great and great graphics do not mean a good game. If you would like to discuss these things further I am trying to start a blog/community to discuss these things so please follow if the mood strikes you.

Im bothered that FROM actually screwed their fans on consoles and cattered to bunch of crybabies on PC, who were whining about fist game every since it release.

@LancerVI @aldiggy Oh man, X-Wing and Tie Fighter were awesome! I still have the cd-rom versions and load them up on dos-box from time to time.

Anybody just looking at graphics are simple minded. Dark Souls 2 has layers of greatness.

Why do people want to play a "casual console" game?

The only people grumbling are the players who are bad and butthurt they can't get past a certain boss. Or PC players who couldn't get past Ornstein and Smough. Lol

Everyone who played a souls game yet, wont buy DS2 for the graphics, but ofr the gameplay.

The PC Version will look much better, thats why i wont buy PS3 or X360 Versions.

Dark Souls was runnign with bad fps in some areas, its good they downgraded graphics for better fps on consoles, but PC will be the best - i hope the waiting wont take to long ;-)

I was born in '78. Gaming for me started on CGA computers and before that Coleco vision. To me graphics don't make a game, gameplay and depth does.

If people bitch about a game's graphics so much that they don't want to play it, they are not really gamers. They should just go and watch a film, at least it will look pretty...

idk what people expected it looks pretty much in line with the first two games actually maybe even better which is good considering its on the same hardware and the pc version is a straight up port so people really should have expected a huge difference there besides the usual high resolution and aa stuff like that.
