Qouting myself from the other thread:
No it was a 22" or 23". and i couldnt see the specs, or at least didnt pay attention.
You are still here, great, so do you think the game is playable? does it look fuzzy at all compared to other PC games?
"- gfx are the same as on PS3 and for me that is a good thing because i already played it on ps3. "
How the hell does that make sense?
Damn. Sorry PC gamers.
Why? They're still getting the best version of Dark Souls. Cry me a river.
What is the matchmaking system like, inviting your friend via co-op? or is it just an easier method of finding random players in whatever area you are in?
lol, marginally better than a version that ran 9FPS at times yet looks the same.
WE R SO LUCKY!
We're getting what the console version should have been like, it's not PC worthy.
we are not worthyOmg its not pc worthy sorry but cry me a river dude.
It would only be better if you played it in the living room with a gamepad. DS is going to be nauseating on a PC monitor.Why? They're still getting the best version of Dark Souls. Cry me a river.

I played a bit of Dark Souls on my 22" LCD via Xbox 360 VGA cable. While it didn't look great, it was far from "nauseating."
Except it was outputting at whatever resolution your xbox has been set to, not to mention that was using the 360 for this, which is completely different from a computer -> DVI.
People actually do this , how the hell do you that? do you spam packets through your network using a laptop or something?
It's almost exactly the same. I don't get where people think this TV or console magic comes from.Except it was outputting at whatever resolution your xbox has been set to, not to mention that was using the 360 for this, which is completely different from a computer -> DVI.

It's a PC game locked at sub-HD. I really don't understand why anyone would feel the need to make that artificially worse than it is!People want to be as negative as possible and convince themselves that it will look worse than the console version, I guess? It's a shame, because Dark Souls is still one of the best games of the generation, ugly graphics or no.
I wondered about this. I play x360 games and PC games on the same (pc)monitor. I tried putting Tera Online to 720p(from 1080p) it looked like more ass then anything I've ever played on the 360. Is this psychological, is the scaler on the 360 better or am I missing something? Video output is from a HD6950.It's a PC game locked at sub-HD.

Omg its not pc worthy sorry but cry me a river dude.
Well the first applies to me when playing in 720p the latter when playing in 1080p.It looked like more ass than anything you ever played, or you saw more ass than in anything you ever played?
Because the latter category is more applicable for me.
I think it's a matter of expectations, IE if you're going to play a PS2 game on a PS2 itself you know it's not going to look anywhere near as nice or sharp as your typical 360/PS3 game, nevermind many PC games from at least since this generation started. That, and only recently was it possible your TV was the same resolution as your monitor, and some of us still have sharper monitors than TVs so what's minimal stretching on my 720p will be more significant on my 1680x1050 monitor, and native resolution is always ideal. So for me it'll look "worse" unless I go out of my way to set up the computer to the TV and make sure everything's set correctly so I don't have black crushing or anything.It's almost exactly the same. I don't get where people think this TV or console magic comes from.
Yeah, actually. Some games are not worthy of being released on the pc. PC has elitism, get the fuck over it.Omg its not pc worthy sorry but cry me a river dude.

I've realized that, for me, it's less about what they've done and more about what I feel they deserve to be paid for it.
This a ~$20 port, plain and simple. It's priced near a new retail PC game, but the port is so bare minimum that they can't sell me the notion of having needed to recoup for any substantial time or effort spent bringing it to the platform. I then transition to feeling as though they seek to take advantage of me. Pulling a $40 smash and grab, essentially. Well, fuck that.
Plus this thick air of "you're lucky to be getting it at all" is off-putting like a motherfucker.
They added in new content. There is plenty of work put on the port it just would've been better if they focused on having higher resolution and frame rates which seems like everyone would have preferred. However some of the people here aren't being objective about the situation. This release was unplanned and short notice being worked on by a developer/publisher unfamiliar with PC market and audience, with also a language barrier. Namco can't push the release date back because that will mean less sales, more competition from used console market, people bitching about this game is blah blah days old and shouldn't be this expensive. And From probably had something already on their plates and had to move other projects around for this release. What was asked in the petition was a Dark Souls PC release, well here it is. Next time you ask for something be more clear about it especially to a publisher and developer that has almost zero PC market experience. Although from the reaction their getting it just isn't worth it seems.

Honestly, if they knew they weren't competent enough to port it to PC they shouldn't have bothered. I'd be much happier with no port, than a half assed port. It's a spit in the face of their fans, not only are they releasing one of the worst ports of the decade but they're asking full price admission the pleasure(£30 in the UK).What was asked in the petition was a Dark Souls PC release, well here it is.

I'm pretty sure I'm seeing more grief than acceptance. I also doubt it's acceptance and more "I'll lower my standards for this one."Holy shit, people gave Crytek all kinds of grief last year for releasing Crysis 2 at 1024x720 and 1154x720 on the CONSOLES. All of a sudden it's okay for FROM to release a sub-HD game on the PC? Get the fuck out of here.
After trading in my PS3 version ~9 months ago, I'm just going to be happy to have this game again.

Honestly...even though I dont want to admit it, i'll probably be doing the same thing.

Dark Souls is 10x the game Crysis 2 is no matter what resolution you run it at... so yea, it's ok imo...

Probably, and while I've railed against this I've said that it's still the version to get pending other issues cropping up and assuming you have a good enough computer. That however does mean that it's probably best to wait a bit after release and make sure there aren't any other nasty surprises, THEN buy it.For those that didn't play the console version, isn't the PC version still the one to get ?
If so, that's better than nothing... Sure I would have liked the graphical options to be more fleshed out, but eh.

Well, I can think of a few games that won't let me change my resolution (we had PLENTY still before XP, or it'd just be two or three options), but by far and large those were 2D games, not 3D ones, so it makes sense. This is kind of crazy unless there's some technical hangup we're not aware of, but we'll probably find that out shortly after release.how is it ok? my god asking for a game to support a change in resolution is not a tall order, its the bare minimum.
I honestly cant think of any game, since maybe the DOS era, that you cant change the resolution on.
I played the game on ps3, and enjoyed it a lot, but such a port does not deserve my support. honestly people saying this is some sort of elitisim instead of having some standards are baffling to me
