But that's contrary to Jim's argument. He said he wasn't looking for MORE, but that this was somehow offering less than a PC port. And, I mean, I brought up Jim specifically for a reason. Jim said he wasn't looking for more, he said he just wasn't looking for less. You appear to be agreeing that this was in fact a straight port. And if that's all he wanted....Twenty Ninjas said:In Dark Souls' case, the main problem was that the port was too barebones and didn't fit common PC-specific standards. The port didn't have anything *less* than the PS3 version, it just didn't have *enough* to make it a proper PC port.
Oh, absolutely. The writing was on the wall. Actually, the writing was in 40 foot high letters and people were complaining for it anyway and then they got it and they complained that it was basically as advertised.Ulquiorra4sama said:Up front, yeah. When people started screaming for a port From just came out and were like "But, what, we don't even... Fuck, we don't even know how to do that. How do you..? What is a PC? What even is a PC?" And then people kept on crying and From just caved and put one out there then people started crying again because the port was shit. Should've seen it coming if you ask me.
It's hard not to look at the overall PC gaming community as spoiled, all things considered.
I get complaints about shitty ports (though I maintain we are often enablers to just this sort of behaviour), but when it's something like Dark Souls, it's hard to see the demands as reasonable.
You may well be right. I only looked at digital editions which didn't have things like hardcover anything.SirCannonFodder said:$40 IIRC, but then it also came with a lot of physical extras (hardcover artbook, soundtrack CD, "Making Of" DVD, poster, art cards).
