So much Totalbiscuit talk... I honestly never thought of him as someone THAT big...
I'd be slightly bummed if it came to PC at this particular moment... seeing as this was one of the games that worked as a tipping point to make me buy a PS3.
Oh who am I kidding, I loved the small part of Dark Souls I have played but I never go anywhere near the damn PS3, I played it for maybe 2 days after I got it >.<
Give me a PC port so I can play it properly D:

I see that as a fair trade, fair warning though The Witcher and its sequel won't looks as pretty if the PC Collective Governance gives it to you console guys.chimpzy said:
What would be amazing is cross platform play, most likely PS3 and PC. It's not like either PC or PS3 players would be at a huge disadvantage to each other since both M&K and controllers have advantages for third person action.
I'd support this, along with a multi-platform-play patch or add-on.
One problem is the controls: I've got Dark Souls on my PS3, and I can't imagine playing the game with a keyboard/mouse combo. I guess you can map the left hand/right hand/item/spell thing to 1,2,3,4 and the dodge/run to spacebar or shift or something, but it's really a gamepad. Could a loyal member of the master race come up with a possible control map?

Oh yes. That said, Dark Souls would be a hell of a lot easier if they bothered to explain what you needed to do. I wasted some rare Titanite shards when I accidentally reinforced weapons to (I think) scale with my INT when I was only leveling my DEX. I like my obscene critical hit damage, don't trick me into removing it!Ickorus said:
The other thing about most community and repurposed 3rd party modding tools is that they're not exactly user friendly. Some are, and when a different game ships with expansive modding tools it can be a godsend, but generally it's a struggle to get several kludged tools with unholy UIs to work together.Ragsnstitches said:
I hate the internet I am excited at the thought of this now...and it might not even happen :|
DAMN YOU TUBES!!! What have you done!

lol, what? I haven't played The Witcher, so no comment there, but having played Dark Souls and Skyrim I'm rather baffled by the fact that anyone could use the term "games like this" as if those two are at all similar. "Both have dragons" doesn't really cut it.Grey Carter said:
Gotta say, personally I didn't enjoy the game. For me it wasn't difficult due to the enemies being overly tough and challenging, but rather the mechanics of the game itself just proved to be too great an obstacle. Granted, I've since heard that along with beating everything with the nerf-bat they fixed some of the mechanical issures, so I might be willing to try it again. As a fan of the Ninja Gaiden series, I've got nothing against a game's combat being brutally unforgiving and I did, in fact, like how obscenely over-powered a lot of the enemies were, but when something like crappy controls or a second long delay between pushing the button on your controler and having the corresponding action carried out are what's making the game challenging, that's when I start to think a game is pretty lame (i.e. simply not made well).
That said, as I mentioned I might give it another shot now that they released that patch a while back. As for PC gamers, why not? They've got just as much right as anyone else to get their faces stomped in by a massive demon.
P.S. I can't believe there's so many masochists out there saying "This game's fantastic! Ooooooooh it hurts sooooo goooooood!"

I'm an avid PC gamer, and I love playing Dark Souls on my PS3, but this is one time I will admit that porting this to PC is not a good idea. It purely feels like a console game through and through. PLUS, as the end of the article says, the last time they tried to port something to PC, it turned out to be a terrible port. Do you think people will be impressed if they give the same treatment to this game on PC?

Nuff Said.
There is a decent market for PC games in Asia, just not western PC games with the exception of Starcraft. Hell, non-Asian games in general don't usually do well in Asia.
In Japan, visual novels are quite popular as PC games. Monster Hunter in Japan was popular enough to garner a PC inclusion called MH: Frontier. And Phantasy Star Online is still going strong as another PC online RPG currently. It's not that Asia doesn't like PC games, they just don't like most Western PC games.
Last time they ported something it was an already terrible game. Probably ported quickly to make up for lackluster console sales. Totally different situatiion.Viper114 said:
Exactly, he is quite right. he is commenting on the fact that Japan does not repesent the whole of Asia. Asia is a big place, buddy. The largest continental mass on Earth, I believe. It's made up of many countries. Japan is just "one" of them, not the only one.Packie_J said:
And how would you keep a permanently online game fair and balanced? A game like Dark Souls, where people can join another's game easily to either help or attack one another, is impractical with mods in and of itself.Syzygy23 said:
You could have modder A have both the Sword of Infinity + 1 and Armor of Invulnerability thanks to modding, who joins into non-modder games and continuously attacks and kills the player. How will you keep Modders and Non-Modders separate, so Modders don't grief and ruin the experience from non-modders?
