The final level of Dark Souls 2 involves finding curb parking in downtown L.A.
On a Friday.
The demo kiosks at e3 will be covered by a brick-textured tarp to represent illusionary walls. Keep the casuals out.
The graphics on the PC version far surpass what you'll find in the console version due to a fix created by a poster on this very thread (1080p, 60fps).
360 pad works great with Dark Souls on PC. Only drawback I can think of with the PC version is the online community which isn't as big as it is on the consoles.
It was actually a very solid port other than the rendering resolution.
It was well optimized and never crashes.

March is a lot farther away than I hoping for. No next gen version is also lame. Hope something amazing gets announced at e3 so I'll have something to kill the time.

Don't forget that it also used GFWL :\
But yeah overall with the resolution mod PC port is good. Came with the DLC.
This timing is really unfortunate considering there is no Next-Gen version announced, and by then the PS4 and XBO will be out. They HAVE to port it right?
Even if its not a big graphical leap to the next gen versions I dont plan on having this gen's console's plugged in by then... and I dont really want to play it on PC.

That's an unnecessary disclaimer.

If they moved this to PS4 for a Fall 2014 release, I'd buy a system just for that.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Take all the time you need FromSoft. Iron out those creases and don't leave anything unfinished OK? ily

Except for the first game I'm right there with you friend. I'm actually downloading dark souls as I type this. Wish I had a ps3 so I could play the first one though. ='(
Question: Are these games really as hard as I hear everyone acting like they are?

Thought it would come out sooner, Oh well though I am sure it will be worth the wait.
Wel, it's hardly going to be a major upgrade over a 360/PS3 version, tha's all I meant. Sure, release it for it but I want that 60fps powa feeling.

March 2014 sounds good to me. I always doubted that this game would make 2013.
To a point. When you become good at them they are completely manageable. You'll find most enemies hit like an absolute truck but if you're good at the game you'll be able to block or dodge nearly everything. They are very rarely unfair, if you die it's probably your fault.

With that fucking release date they gotta put this on next gen consoles too and bump up the framerate. They just gotta =/
The games aren't particularly demanding in terms of reaction speed or complex feats of dexterity. However, unlike many titles these days they require you to pay close attention to what you are doing and your surroundings, and are very punishing if you do not. That's where the reputation comes from.
No, its more the caution and anxiety that kills you than anything, because you lose all your currency when you die, and if you don't make it to the spot where you died, its gone forever. And that's currency for buying AND leveling.
Once you've played through it once, second playthough becomes much easier because you know the "when to", "when not to" and "how to" 's of the world.
Represent.

Next gen port or Im out
I don't want the game to be rushed, let's make it clear.
I'd be lying though if I said that I'm not disappointed - I was really hoping for Oct/Nov release, so I could play the shit out of it in the christmas break.
I believed rumours, big mistake it seems.
PS. Such a big banner for a niche franchise seems out of place. Namco clearly wants Dark Souls to become another AAA title, not sure what I think about it.

Good.
I was pretty certain they'd rush it to make the holiday season, but it's good to see they're taking their time.

Are they anything like the old school Mega Man games in terms of difficulty? Those games (like most old school games) involved a lot of memorization and timing, but once you got the hang of it, it was like a freaking drug. I got to the point where I could literally beat any level in mega man X blindfolded.
Great, now I got the feels. I'm going to have to go bust out the snes.

I don't mind the wait. Much as we all love it now, its easy to forget that Dark Souls had some lousy problems at launch. Multiplayer (summoning, in particular) rarely worked. Lock-on was finnicky, and there was some input-lag when dodging.
So, if they need more time to iron stuff out, let them have it. It can only make for a better game.

Yeah I doubt Wii U can even run the game.
Why not both? Because I'd be too busy playing DSII to bother with another console. And unfortunately (where gaming is concerned) I've got a Mac :/

Love this kind of stuff pre-E3.
Just saw it on a banner while driving past the convention center:
To the left of the Xbox Live logo, it says XBOX and then some letters after it. Does that say XBOX ONE?
Besides, I'd rather play the game on a console where hackers can't fuck up the multiplayer aspect and ruin the community.
It clearly says "XBOX 360".
