Samurai Sanders posted:I'm not averse to buying this version rather than waiting for the DLC for the PS3, I just need to know about performance and stability. The problem is that From isn't even really very good at programming for console platforms, and as far as I know this is their first PC game ever. they did the King's Field games too, have some FAITH (get it??!?!!)

Samurai Sanders posted:There's King's Field game on the PC? kind of! Wikipedia posted:Sword of Moonlight: King's Field Making Tool is a King's Field designing tool for the Microsoft Windows platform which was released in Japan. It lets the user construct free-standing King's Field games which may be played independently, without having Sword of Moonlight installed. It also contains a full remake of the first King’s Field game originally released on the PlayStation.[5] A fan made a full English translation available as a patch.[4]

Attention Horse posted:Someone on the Steam forums posted some screenshots of the PC Version. Just like I thought, it looks like blurry pixelated dogshit. actually that looks good. If you are just going to poo poo up the thread with your bitching and saying how you aren't going to buy it, can you please get out?

Cardboard Box posted:Maybe the thumbnails look good, but when you blow it up to full 1920x1080 it looks pretty goddamn blurry and awful. that is an -opinion-. I've played this game on a 42" 1080p monitor on 360 and it looks good. I think those screenshots look good. I don't want this thread to turn into a bitchfest of people complaining about how a quick and dirty port doesn't cater to their needs. The game looks just as good as it did on the console, and I never heard of anyone crying about how the game wasn't pretty enough for them. Also that second screenshot is the only one that I would call "blurry", and there is some pretty obvious motion blur going on there. In short, if you've decided that the game isn't up to your standards of graphical beauty and FROM is a lovely company for things not being perfect for you, then there is no need to post here. This thread is for the discussion of the game for new players, not the discussion of how you don't want to buy the game for whatever reason.

DMBFan23 posted:Has my Xbox 360 looked like that all along? I liked the way console Dark Souls looked on a large screen LCD. I joined the PC master race back in like April and haven't touched my Xbox in a while, and when I blew up the thumbnails my first response was to cringe a little. No, probably not. I'm in the same boat as you. I became a Steam convert this summer and played a bunch of games, including L4D2, which I also have on xbox. Of course on my PC I set that game to max everything and play at 1920x1080. I popped the disc in my xbox a few weeks ago when the DLC dropped, and holy poo poo it was almost unplayable. Framerate sucked, the controls felt sluggish, and of course the resolution was nowhere near what I was getting on my PC. Not to mention me watching my son play Torchlight on xbox is painful. The camera is like ten feet above his head, you can't see poo poo.

JohnnyBigPotatoes posted:How is it not? both are action RPGs for the PC, except one came out over a year ago. well for starters the Witcher landscape shot is a little different, artistically, than the starting dungeon cell in Dark Souls. One of them is supposed to look grimy and lovely and one of them is supposed to be a glorious colorful vista. And bouncing into a thread to post "this looks like poo poo" is not "discussing what the game looks like". It's threadshitting, pure and simple.

Saltin posted:What I mean to say is I am not at my home computer at the moment and don't have access to it. My logged in Steam client at home won't start downloading the game automatically based on availability, will it? No, but if you can access another computer to get to the Steam website or have a smartphone with the free Steam app, you can start the download now remotely to your home PC and it'll be ready for you. But if not, it's a small file anyways so it shouldn't take too long. Use the waiting time to pore over the delightful and informative OP!

RE: hackers ruining PvP, my hopes are: 1. Most hackers would probably have pirated this thing to begin with and the DRM would prevent them from engaging in MP 2. Hacking in a 1v1 niche game like this might get pretty boring pretty fast, leading them to move on to greener pastures 3. My "I don't give a gently caress, 420 wear silly costumes and spam emotes" attitude towards PvP will prevail 4. I can always go back to consoles when the DLC drops, I guess

 For those wanting to access the new areas 1. Go kill the Hydra in Darkroot Basin 2. Quit and reload 3. Walk all the way to the back of the lake and kill the golden crystal golem 4. Talk to Dusk, who is the girl that appears after you kill the golem 5. Clear Anor Londo, get the Lordvessel and place it 6. Warp to Anor Londo, enter Duke's Archives 7. Past the two boars there is a new crystal golem in the first bonfire room. Kill it 8. Return to Hydra Lake in the Basin, the portal should be open at the far end where you first rescued Dusk I'm on step 5 now if anyone wants some jolly coop or to explore the new areas together  Message me on GFWL, my gamertag is AaarghMyKDRatio.

Bobnumerotres posted:1. How to get there, I know it has something to do with rescuing Dusk. How to get there: 1. Kill Hydra, rescue Dusk, go see talk to her and buy whatever you need 2. Go thru Anor Londo and get Lordvessel and place it 3. Go to Duke's Archives, first room past the first bonfire is is a new crystal golem, kill it and get the broken pendant 4. Go back to were you rescued Dusk, there will be a weird lookin portal. There's a bonfire right thru there where you can save and warp to and from. Four new bosses: 1. A chimera with a poison tail. Uses lightning and melee. Appears to be weak to lightning. Chop off his tail for a poison whip. Drops Guardian Soul, not sure what it does. He's fast and moves very quickly. Ranged battle would probably be best. 2. ARTORIAS. He's...not too easy. Melee, doesn't appear to be weak to fire, lightning or divine. He moves very quickly and will try to do a power up super saiyan; attack him with everything you got when he does that and you can stunlock him out of that. Try to summon help for this one, two other phantoms will make it much easier. Drops his Soul, which can be used to ascend a +10 Claymore into the Abyss Sword, or you can visit this same area later, meet Ciaran, and trade his soul for her two daggers, which would be great for a DEX/Crit build. After killing him Dornhall will sell his set for 20k per piece. 3. Optional black dragon! This is a very cinematic and exciting battle and I haven't even come close to beating it. You'll find a key through careful exploration of the area past Artorias. Use that key at the top of Artorias' tower to meet Gough, who will shoot the dragon from the sky, allowing you to fight him. This dragon is a hardass, so be advised. Cutting off his tail gives you the Obsidian Greatsword. 4. Manus, who appears to be Flamelurker and is apparently the Pygmy. At the very bottom of what appears to be Tomb of the Giants Part II. Drops his soul which can be crafted into a Catalyst. I haven't fought him, he is apparently a badass. Incredible new items: 1. Little wooden carvings that you can drop (they are reusable) that will say something to all the phantoms in your world in Gough's voice. Stuff like "I'm sorry" or "help me!" 2. The Guardian Set, a super heavy set of armor, lighter that Havel's, 98 poise for the whole set, and better resistances. Found piece by piece in the Royal Wood. I really like it. 3. A loving rear end in a top hat merchant who will also Darkwraith you. Kill him for his weird Joker with a top hat set. He sells nothing of use for way too much money. 4. Three new Sorcery spells and a Pyromancy combustion-like. They use Dark Magic, which apparently does extra damage to humans. The Sorceries all take an INT score in the mid teens, nothing too crazy. 5. An item that emits a WoG-like field to repel Dark Magic. I will say that the DLC area is tough, I wouldn't go there before level 55-60, and make sure you have some good weapons.

I'm just walking around smacking skeletons and traversing white light. dude, wat? Aren't you supposed to be representing SA in the videogame area, like, officially? also I ran into my first hacker in Dark Anor Londo and then the same guy twice in the Painted World. That didn't take long.  he hacked himself like 8000 hit points and it was displayed above him? I dunno. I took a few screenshots, is there like a Dark Souls police or Steam/GFWL anticheat something that I should send them to?
