Woah bought! Now it's time to install the game, play some more ghost battles on Tekken Tag 2, and figure out what I'm going to do now with my 360 copy of Dark Souls

Oh, did I buy the season pass then? Damn steam gets money out of me without me even noticing these days :)

Hahaha I know right? More than once I saw a nice sale for a game I wanted for some time, and when I went to it's store page to buy steam told me I already had the game lol
 
We in there

With the patch/DLC, did dex focused builds become more viable?

I started the game on PS3 with a Thief and it was hard as shit. Then I made a Pyro/Wizard and it was snooze mode. Faith was pretty easy too
 
I'm kind of interested in trying to play it mouse-keyboard at first, just to experience the madness firsthand.

Goddamnit, doesn't activate in Japan. I didn't have this problem with Binary Domain, which isn't available on the Steam store here, or Sleeping Dogs, which is available, but costs like three times more.

I suppose there's a chance Steam will ban my entire account if I use a proxy to activate the game. My other options are to ask somebody back in Canada to do it for me, or to wait until I take a trip back to Canada myself to do it on my own computer. Would either of those options be any less likely to result in a ban?

Guys, can I buy this with paypal? I do have a CC but its blocked right now, thanks to some SecureCode BS used by the bank not recognizing my password as correct AGAIN. Second time this happened and their phone hotline is only open during times I have class. Blergh.
 
Was waiting for Steam sale but this is a great price.

Can't wait to replay this with all of the extra bells and whistles, and of course the new content! One of the best games ever about to get even better :D

Bought and downloading! Can't wait to get back in to my already most-played game this gen! I haven't bought the DLC on the PS3 version yet either in anticipation of this sale, so I'm really excited to see the new content and weapons.
 
I think I'm going to go ahead and get this even though I don't have a controller for my PC. Even with the mod to fix the mouse is the game just totally fucked with mouse and keyboard? I'll probably get a controller eventually but are we talking Resident Evil 4 PC controls bad?

Cannot use PayPal.


Fark.

Is motionjoy working properly with Sixaxis controllers and W7 64bit now? I couldn't get it to work in 2010 and until now didn't care.

But if it works I'll ask my dad for hid CC details and get DS, if it doesn't I'll wait for a Steam sale (by then I should've found my 360 wireless for pc dongle).

It works! Just use USB and not Bluetooth and you're golden.

Bought!

My game of the generation, the only two faults that reduced my enjoyment are now fixed:
- Awful framerate
- Broken online at release

For any PCers who also have a PS3, it's worth noting that the PS3 community is far more involved and experienced with the game. A lot of us have been in it since Demon's Souls and co-op/PVP all the time, I've heard the PC scene is comparatively barren.

Also, hackers.

Creating this thread a little early cause the DLC just came out on consoles which is friggin $15 but Amazon will offer Prepare To Die for only $20 this upcoming Sunday. $5 more to have the entire game plus the DLC content.

If you have a PC capable of running it. Come on, Wario, you have to add that as a disclaimer. Not all of us are able to just buy this and run it.

Yes but... on the other hand... 1024*720 and <30fps

Headache inducing framerate though.

If you can't run the game why are you buying it then?

To show some support? So you do have it when and if you ever upgrade your comp?

I wonder how hard is Dark Souls now with all the nerf? I can't imagine I can beat 4 kings without Iron Will (or whatever that pyro spell is called). Dark wood grain ring nerf is gonna suck as well.

That seems obvious, the Amazon page even states the mininum requirements.

Every copy of the game has GFWL. Some boxed copies can also be activated on Steam, some can't.

Are we sure that some boxed copies can't be?
There's only one version (Euro) as far as I'm aware, so it would be odd that some of it can be activated and some of it can't.
