My thoughts exactly. The now-definitive version of one of the best games of this generation for TWENTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS.
THANK YOU BASED AMAZON, FROM SOFTWARE, NAMCO-BANDAI, AND DURANTE! And that other person who figured out a major part of getting 60 FPS whose name escapes me at the moment.

Does the game maintain a constant 30fps? Frame rate fluctuation is a lot more annoying than a stable fps capped at 30.
should i play geek420. is it good
It's good if you don't mind some trial and error while you figure out the mechanics, and how not to die. Finding new areas and how they connect to old ones is mindblowing at times. Its just good old visceral fun.
EDIT: Wikis for this were seriously helpful for me. purist would rather you just jump into the world and figure it out.
Yes, it's very easy to get a completely stable 30 FPS, even in Blighttown.
This is the greatest thing.
oh my god! lol

So glad I didn't buy the DLC on console. So glad I waited on the PC edition.
Thanks, Wario.
Finish it! Where are you in the game currently? Perhaps we can offer some encouragement.

I'd also only be running it at 1440 x 900 and on an HD6850. I imagine it'll probably do better than the console version at least.

Awesome. Don't have my gaming PC just yet, but it doesn't hurt to go ahead and get it at a cheaper price.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK!
On second thought...
Is that even possible? Are they gravelord enemies? but there are more than 3 of them..wtf is going on there lol..hack?
Yes it is possible, in his effort to escape he triggered all the BP enemies in the area
Besides current fixes, to the Framerate and resolution, what could they possibly do to make this game better?

That's like putting your whole mouth right in the estus!
This is a perfect answer.

if by broken you mean there's rarely anybody around (except outside gargoyles, why are you all outside the gargoyles????), summons fail 9 times out of 10 and invasions constantly fail, then yes. That's generally my experience on the PC version so far, unfortunately. I've opened all the ports that needed to be opened but alas it hasn't helped any.
If you mean mask-wearing, backflipping, giants armour lagstabbers.. masks and woodgrain ring have been nerfed. Hermit crabs and miracle resonance work better than ever before.
edit: don't mean to sound cranky, just annoying when I feel like sitting in Anor Londo helping people with O&S .. and I can't for the life of me get summoned. I <3 souls co-op which is why it hurts.
I know this feel. Souls co-op is my bread n' butter and the lack of summons has me bummed.

Tempting but I really can't see playing this anytime soon with everything else out.

Grave mistake, son. One of the greatest games of this generation.

It's been long enough since I played it on PS3, will definitely get it
Kind of hankering to replay Demon's too now

I got this game for full price after the mod was released despite not connecting with Demon Souls.
I ended up playing 93 hours and have been trying to avoid starting a new character as to not get myself lost in time playing the game again (though I didn't resist starting a NG+ recently).
I definitively recommend getting the game, it's worth the $40 and it's definitively worth the $20.
After you try the game I think you'll find yourself in the opposite predicament.

Yes, in the vast majority of areas. You'll drop some frames if there are tons of alpha-blended effects on screen, but that is the case in many games.

I'm conflicted since I want to buy this version with the Durante fix since it'll be better than console, but I don't have the patience for this. ;_;
Meaning 3AM Eastern? How fast you think keys will run out?
Patience for what? Durante fix shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to configure.

Not the fix, I know that takes minutes, if that. The patience for going through the first few areas all over again like I did in the 360 version(which took forever to do!).
