My Curse of the Moon quick take after finishing the game: the girl is the best character by far. The default dude isn't worth your time once you get your allies.

Hopefully that means good things for the full Bloodstained game.

Try updating the software?

I have one right joycon that occasionally has signal issues (it's from the splatoon colors set) but I find just moving the dock's position slightly clears it up.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

So FYI, the remaster of Dark Souls is getting absolutely poo poo on. It's apparently a very lovely low effort attempt to extort money from gamers, when it probably should have been a free patch updating the original title. I'm sure the Switch version will be absolutely mediocre.

The Switch seems really sensitive to wireless interference, I was having awful trouble with my controls goofing up constantly until I unplugged our wireless lightbulb hub thingie.

It's not on the Switch, it's still an afterthought without a release date. So the complaints for it being a free patch exist, you know, on other platforms, where it currently exists.

i can't really find anything more critical than "this is pretty expensive for what it is". by and large reviews seem to be upper-average?

The handling of "remasters"on PC sucks but I dunno how that's relevant to consoles.

Bad business practices are bad business practices. Again, my prediction is that if it's not good on say PC as a remaster, it probably won't be well done on Switch. We'll see.

Funny how we're acting like there hasn't been a relationship between quality of a title on PC or elsewhere and then on Switch.

I’m not seeing anything like this. The consensus seems to be that it’s just a safe unexciting remaster with some subtle QOL changes.

This both isn't true and is also completely irrelevant for the Switch version.


Nerds are just nerd-raging as they do. The Remaster is good :)

Basically this, yeah. It's literally just Dark Souls 1 but with modern resolution support and 60 fps, with some QOL changes from the later games (like being able to rebind buttons). That's literally all it is.

Dark Souls isn't available on Ps4 or Switch currently.

Dark Souls on the go is why Switch owners want the Remaster. Hell, I do too.

There have been multiple cases where otherwise-good games have gotten bad PC ports, the PC version should never be used as the standard.

Nah I have the same drift issue even when playing in handheld I think it's a stick thing . Kind of annoying & I got it used so no warranty but I figure if it ever gets worse it couldn't be too hard to open up and fix, maybe I'll replace the d-pad while I'm at it

Like Dark Souls :v: I think a lot of people are forgetting what a trainwreck the Dark Souls PC port actually was, so it's nice to finally get a proper PC version that runs great at 60 fps with support for different resolutions. :shobon:

Yea thankfully I had the original grey Joycons so I can just get these fixed I guess.

I have it on the PS4 and it's Dark Souls with higher res, higher res textures, and a high and stable frame rate. Oh and you can resize the UI if you want. I'm happy to have all the Dark Souls games on one platform finally (but not Demon's yet...)

I mean there is concern for the Switch version considering it was delayed at pretty much the last moment. I’m fine with 30fps but I hope it’s a stable 30fps, especially in Blighttown.

Yeah the only complaints I've read are from the XBone versions where it consistently will drop to 30 FPS due to the lack of dynamic resolution scaling.

PS4 version runs great on both systems and, while it could be argued it should've been a patch, the PC finally has a good port of the game.

I watched someone play through Blighttown for like 20 minutes at PAX and it looked completely stable. The 100% full version of the Switch game was on display there and nobody had anything bad to say about it, BUT it was offline , so I'm guessing it's some performance/network issues related to multiplayer behind the delay.

From what I heard they licked whatever fundamental issue made BT run so much slower than the rest of the game.

That’s good to hear. Having Dark Souls portably will own.

They’re still supposed to do a demo test for it before it comes out on Switch.

Also hopefully it means lots of new people experiencing the early game for the first time which is always good.

edit: I remembered the early game well enough to run straight to Sen's fortress without stopping, even having not played it in several years. I want to live vicariously through other people experiencing it for the first time.

I think PC players are angry that they're being asked to buy the game again for something that's just a graphical upgrade.

I doubt anyone's really angry about them just porting it to PS4/Xbone/eventually Switch, though.
