Dark Souls making its way to PC!

[RyaNtheSlayA]

if the game had no kb/m support, and you didn't tell me, I would never notice.

You playing with a 360 controller? I'm tempted, but I don't have one. I'd have to use a PS2 controller with a USB adapter or an Ouya controller.

Also, why should I get it on PC and not PS3 or 360? I don't own either of those consoles, but I assume I will one day.

Performance and graphics. The console version apparently becomes nearly impossible due to framerate at some points. I haven't played the console versions so I can't really say whether that will or wont break the game for you. Sounds like it only does it in a few key areas.

I've never played it all, but $7.50 is cheap.

What happens now that GFWL is dead? Is Dark Souls still playable?

The store is the only thing thats been shut down so far, but it is known that Dark Souls is going to be ported to Steamworks.

And if its a bad port will noise become a PC gamer?

it's on sale for $7.50 thru Amazon. Should I get it?

If you like video games get it.

I'd say get it for ps3 though just because then I can get status updates on your level and where you are in the game and constantly invade. Good times.

It's a great game, but don't feel dirty about using a walkthrough or guide - this game is very difficult without one.

One of the things I love most about these games is how they are designed to be community based. The player is pretty much supposed to rely on talking (or playing) with others to discover secrets and techniques as a community. A walkthrough or looking up information is definitely fair play, especially if you are trying to 100% it.

edit:

This is definitely not true, people just like to blow things out of proportion. There are some areas in the game with nasty framerate drops, but there isn't anything in crucial areas or boss fights or something that makes the game "nearly impossible". Really, it's completely a non-issue and just kind of annoying in 2-3 places.

That is really cool, and interesting.

It's not my personality. I'm just not a completionist gamer. If I were to get into Dark Souls, I'd just be aiming at

Actually forget what I said about getting it for console, you should definitely get it for PC at that price since it comes with the dlc that you would have to pay extra for on a console.

My understanding is the areas where the framerate tanks on the consoles it also tanks on the PC. The only real benefit to the PC version is the high-res patches.
