Dark Souls has been accidentally been confirmed as coming to PC, if anyone's interested. (Which I doubt).

As a side note: is it necromancy when you're trying raise something was dead when it was alive?

[Shizuka]

Everywhere I went, people were complaining about GFWL. I don't even get why they're complaining, but if it's such a big issue, Namco should take a note.

[Ringwraith]

Games For Winarrrgh is not a good infrastructure for game's multiplayer, or even the game at all.
Sometimes it works fine, albeit a bit clunkily, but when it doesn't work (which is more often most of its competitors) it really doesn't work.
Batman: Arkham City was plagued with save corruption issues, forcing people to repeatedly restart the whole game, as well as revealing it was encrypting the save files, so they couldn't be transferred between computers.
Bulletstorm simply failed to properly start for many people at launch as Games For Winarrrgh kept crashing it before it even got to the main menu.

Yeah, not a good system, there are better ones out there.

More news on the PC port, which is shaping up to be an almost direct port, with little keyboard & mouse support or graphics options.
Apparently this comes at "Namco's request", so they obviously have no idea how touchy PC gamers are about this kind of thing, and rightly so, as if you're going to make a game for a platform you adapt it to suit it. Although the gamepad thing is still understandable, you have to at least have the option for a keyboard & mouse, even if it's a terrible idea and they don't recommend it, like Super Meat Boy did.

I still think it's weird that they made the PC version the "ultimate" edition... I guess PC gamers have been asking for it for a while, but still, it's sure hard for fans of the console game :/ I wonder if they will add DLC for the extra bosses for everyone else.

[Ringwraith]

That's the general assumption, and it's not due until the end of August anyway, so there's plenty of time for them to add it to the console versions.

[Sheleigha]

Hopefully if it does turn out to have console DLC that it'll be free... I doubt Namco will be that generous, but we shall see.

[Ringwraith]

Or Microsoft will let them be that generous even if Namco are.
They're pretty stingy about that.

Sony doesn't seem to mind though.

[Ringwraith]

For those who care about such things, Dark Souls will still be locked at 30fps on PC, which kinda comes in line with the whole 'straight port' thing they've been instructed to do by Namco, so I find blaming From Software for it a little unfair, which that article is quick to do.

Heck, even Capcom have their PC ports straightened out these days.

YES!



I was wondering what happened to Artorias..

I feel like going back and checking on my character for whatever reason.

Edit: Haha fuck. I thought my character was OP and that I shouldn't have any trouble with anything in the game because of that. Boy, was I wrong. Decided to go fight a pair of enemies outside Anor Londo.. barely made it out alive, and I failed to kill at least one of them. Gah. And this is pre-patch. My Lightning Zweihander and Crystal Ring Shield are going to nerfed by that patch, so I don't want to download it.

Anyway pics time!

Spoiler:

Glitching to get souls is so boring/lame. I prefer to kill glitchers and steal their souls ~ <3

Oh my god. Thank you From Software for fixing that damn dragon head glitch =P Hated it way too damn much.
But jeez the nerf's -_-' Guessing these are the same nerfs the PC version got >_> Well, this at least means we're ready for the DLC

Gaaaaaaaaah! They're nerfing Crystal Soul Spear AGAIN. My poor Spellsword. D:

Also, not only does iOS recognize the word Spellsword, it capatalizes it for me, too. XD

It's quite often a title, hence the capitalisation.

Though it didn't get your "capatalizes".
