You mean 30 fps and 720 p? Guess what, genius, that's the game console players got.
The console players get the game with such standards because these are the console standards,meaning that every game that comes out in that platform has to conform to those standards. PC also has standards.But the PC version of the game didn't conformed to the PC standards,which I think make it pretty obvious that the handling of the PC version was unequal to the console versions.
The thing is, Dark Souls did come out like that on the console.
No,it didn't came like that on the console.
The console version made use of all console's features and conformed to all console's standards. That's not the case for the PC version.
PC gamers aren't complaining about some inferior port, because it's the exact same game, right down to the same fps, that the console players have.
But it IS an inferior port,it's the worst port that came to PCs the last 5 years.
Look at games like Call of Duty that where made for xbox360 and where then ported to ps3 and PC. Did you saw any PC gamer complainaing about the standards of Call of Duty ? No.
The same applies to other ports too,like Skyrim,Borderlands etc. The only native PC games that came out the last 5 years where Crysis 1,Crysis Warhead,Metro 2033,The Witcher 1,2,and Oblivon.
All other AAA multiplatform games that came to PCs where ports.
And the fact that you state that it is THE EXACT GAME as the xbox360 version was,just verify that. The ps3 version of the game shows on the screen button prompts that correspond to the buttons of the ps3 controller. How would PS3 players feel if the PS3 version of the game told them to press "button A" on their controller ? This didn't happened though. Because if From did something like that then the game would never pass SONY's authorization and it would never be released on PS3 like that.
Thing is, you are getting a quality game, it has Xbox graphics not Wii Graphics. The problem, once more, is that PC gamers aren't given "special treatment" and have to deal with a port of the same exact game as the rest of us.
You consider things like adjustable resolutions and keyboard support "special treatment" ?
That's like saying that PS3 players wanting their games to come out on blu rays and not floppy discs is "special treatment",or like saying that for xbox360 gamers to ask xbox live features on their games is "special treatment". Haven't you realized yet that what people ask for is the bare minimum that every game that gets released on the PC platform should have ?
For God's shake,adjustable resolutions isn't only considered a fundamental standard feature for PC games,but literally for EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM THAT EXISTS ON PC,even the browser you are logging in from. And since they know how to adjust resolutions for their Webpage,don't sell to me that they are so inexperienced they can't do that for their game too.
Hell,all videogames of the world are built on PCs,even Nintendo 3ds games,they are all programmed in either C++ or C#,the same commands apply to all machines. These are basic fundamental lessons on all programming classes on all universities of the world.
If you know C++ and C# you can make games and other software for anything,xbox360,ps3,ds,wii,Windows,even Mac.... The programming languages are fucking universal,there is no such a thing "I didn't knew how to do it for PC". If the programmer know how to program a game for ps3,he also knows how to program for PC.
The disc you get when you buy a game has the same darking kinds of files and archives that PC games have too,with only difference being encrypted,and encryption is something you do after you program. No more excuses.
No, it's entitled to promise developers you'd be interested in their game, only to cry like a child that it doesn't "meet your standards" because they didn't bend over backwards to add in features you just "like".
Again,I can't decide if you are so ignorant or just trolling. These aren't features some people just "like". These are basic needed standards that all games have to comply to.
You wouldn't buy a car if it didn't conform to any of the industry's and your government's safety standards,would you ?
I'm afraid your example is wrong, I'm like a restaurant owner who calls their customer entitled because they referred to my food as completely "awful" since it didn't have their favorite spice in it despite not even asking for it in the first place.
No,the costumer came to your restaurant to eat your soup,and you served them your soup on a dirty bowl, and instead of spoons you offered them chopsticks to eat the soup,and the fish was rotten.
This was a console game that PC gamers asked for, pleaded for, signed petitions for, there's a difference between them seeing a new market and accidently making a bad port, and PC gamers absolutely pleading for the game, then acting like snot nosed children when they finally get it.
New market hah ?
Perhaps you are forgetting Ninja Blade,another game they released on PC in 2009.
And guess what... This game also was a bad port that got 6s out of 10 from critics.
And it also featured resolution cap that was fixed by simple PC gamers by changing some parameters on the .ini file...
Oh and also the game would show the button prompts of xbox360 controller even if you didn't had a controller attached to your PC.
Does it ring any bells ?
With Dark Souls they did the same exact "mistakes" they did with Ninja Blade. It's not that they didn't had experience. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE,as they did the exact same things 3 years ago, and they saw the reactions,they saw that people where able to fix their problems in such easy ways as changing a few lines on an .ini file with wordpad,they knew it all.
NO MORE EXCUSES.
They just need to grow up.
No,YOU need to be more informed about the things you are talking about,because apparently you talk about things you are completely oblivious about.
