Support NeoGAF

[Sarcasm]

Sr2 ran like crap. Well maybe not anymore with new hardware but it sure didn't like my for two do and gtx 260 back than.

 

[Kiyo]

$30 wasted. As I can not cancel my GMG pre-order. I wanted to support one of my favorite franchises. But this is downright disgraceful.

If it's your favorite franchise, and all indications are the PC version is the best version, why is your money wasted?

 

[Ikuu]

Funny to see people defending shit like this :lol

This is a joke right?

No it's not a joke.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

PC Gamers the biggest drama queens of them all.

1. It will be modded within weeks
2. Motion Blur will hide the majority of jaggies
3. I think you're all afraid of dying Capra Demon too much for yas?

 

[Sethos]

Glad I didn't pre-order this turd. This just isn't acceptable, even bringing that mess to our direct output PC monitors that doesn't have all that TV upscaling and smudge work going it. It'll be like playing with your face in a bucket of glass shards.

Oh well bring on the defenders.

 

[mxgt]

I can't even imagine what 1024x720 looks like at 2560x1440 which is what I play my games at.

What a fuck up, anyone that defends this is absolutely insane. I'll probably rebuy it on console instead.

 

[dejan]

Oh God How Did This Get Here I Am Not Good With Computer

 

[maverick40]

Wow a bit dramatic eh? Who cares, it is still one of the best games this generation and arguebly one of the greatest games of all time. If you are such a graphics whore just mod it. Frankly I am shocked people havent bought this for consoles yet.

 

[HoosTrax]

OP should also add that the game will kick you out of your game and back to the menu if your framerate drops below 15fps for more than 30 seconds

Yes, well they thoughtfully locked the game to such a low resolution that dropping below 15fps should never be an issue unless this is also the least well optimized port of all time too.

 

[scarybore]

Yeah, that's not good enough for me. As much as I want to play it on the PC, I don't want to support half assed ports.

Not nearly as bad as RE4.

For some reason, I read that as RE5 and wondered what the hell you were talking about as Capcom have nailed their PC ports this gen. Keep forgetting RE4 even had a PC release. *shudders*

 

[Tomat]

Funny to see people defending shit like this :lol


No it's not a joke.

Good lord, why would they do that?

 

[Canis lupus]

I wasn't gonna get this game again after I got the platinum trophy, the DLC will do.

 

[aeolist]

Yes, well they thoughtfully locked the game to such a low resolution that dropping below 15fps should never be an issue unless this is also the least well optimized port of all time too.

RPS said there was some slowdown in the preview they played, not as bad as PS3 but it wasn't hitting the 30fps cap all the time

Probably won't be a huge problem but still...

 

[.hacked]

I'd be OK if it was 1080p, who the hell games on a PC at less then 1080p?

 

[MrTeachwell]

If this is indeed true hopefully the uproar will shake the internet to it's knees and someone at from software finds a way to fix this.

Please let me enjoy dark souls, I don't own a console and don't want to burn my eyes playing it like that.

 

[Delusibeta]

OP should also add that the game will kick you out of your game and back to the menu if your framerate drops below 15fps for more than 30 seconds

OK, now they can go jump off a cliff. Will wait for sub-£10 and mods.

 

[Detox]

So running this at higer resolutions will make it look blurry right?

 

[Jarmel]

Are people seriously suggesting it's okay because someone will mod it?

 

[mxgt]

Wow a bit dramatic eh? Who cares, it is still one of the best games this generation and arguebly one of the greatest games of all time. If you are such a graphics whore just mod it. Frankly I am shocked people havent bought this for consoles yet.

What's with these kind of stupid responses?

We shouldn't have to fucking mod it to get a PC game in 2012 running at half decent resolutions.

So running this at higer resolutions will make it look blurry right?

Very blurry. Just look at that screenshot in the OP. Awful.

 

[Gattsu25]

Just find a 720p youtube video and fullscreen it...

Huh? 720P youtube videos barely look as good as a 480P native video

Maybe if you're legally blind.

 

[Backfoggen]

It kicks you into offline mode, not out of the game.

 

[onken]

Wow that's awful.

 

[Sethos]

Are people seriously suggesting it's okay because someone will mod it?

Yes. And apparently requiring basic features and settings is being 'graphical whores' - Sometimes I feel like I stepped into a time-machine and rode that bitch back to 1998.

Joke post ?

 

[alr1ght]

And I thought it was all a translation error. Lol.

 

[CSX]

Im pretty sure there was talk of this a little after the port was announced.

Hopefully we can find a way to uncap the framerate and add lots of AA

 

[Tomat]

It kicks you into offline mode, not out of the game.

This makes more sense.

 

[Corky]

I can't even imagine what 1024x720 looks like at 2560x1440 which is what I play my games at.

Something like this, open in new tabs.

how to mod : link

gotta use that screen estate!... you could play 6 copies at the same time or something! Fml...

 

[Kokonoe]

Thanks for the heads up, I was actually going to try this game, but I will not pay for a PC game that doesn't have proper resolution settings.

 

[Wanny]

I didn't even know that it was possible to lock a resolution on a PC version. That is quite disgusting if you ask me. Any other games on PC did the same abysmal shit?

 

[Shorty11857]

So glad I didn't preorder it, this port sounds completely unacceptable

 

[Smokey]

I play at 2560x1600

I simply refuse to play a game at 1024x720 upscaled to that resolution. Not going to happen and whomever is behind the PC project should feel a sense of embarassment. I've had the 360 version for a while unopened, thinking the superior PC version would be worth it. But nope I rather suffer through the 360 version then deal with a 1/4 attempt like the PC version.

 

[Ryuuga]

Prepare to cry edition.

 

[scitek]

Can't believe people pre-ordered this shit after all the press about it along the way.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Yeah that is what I was afraid of as soon as the PC version became a real thing.

Its nice to have a pc version but you do not know how to make one, outsource it to a real pc dev or seek help from the community or other developers

Sad story

 

[Tomat]

I just re-read the resolution. Thought it was 1280x720 for some reason.

1024x720 is fucking awful.

 

[Kokonoe]

I didn't even know that it was possible to lock a resolution on a PC version. That is quite disgusting if you ask me. Any other games on PC did the same abysmal shit?

Sonic 4 Episode I and II, and Sonic Adventure DX.

 

[Revolutionary]

Uh... wasn't this known shortly after the port was announced?

 

[Card Boy]

Wow port looks worse than Prototype.

$30 wasted. As I can not cancel my GMG pre-order. I wanted to support one of my favorite franchises. But this is downright disgraceful.

I have canceled acouple Steamworks pre-orders from GMG before. If you havent recieved your key and the game isnt out youre 100% entitled to a refund. If you received a key then i'm afraid youre chances are slim.

 

[aeolist]

It kicks you into offline mode, not out of the game.

From the manual:

LoW FPS FEAtuRE
To prevent latency issues and frequent disconnections, there is a
low FPS feature implemented where if your FPS drops below 15
for 30 seconds, your game will automatically be disconnected
from the online session and will return to the title screen. To avoid
this, please refer to the minimum/recommended specifi cations
to have a better confi guration.

 

[The Hermit]

I said before, but having Dark Souls on Pc with better framerate than the consoles is enough for me... Day 1.

Prepare for the same rendering resolution and framerate dips into the single digits (throughout a specific, and quite large, area of the game) if you play this on a console.

Whoa. Fuck that shit in its damned ear.

 

[Archie]

Sucks, but I don't own a console and this is one of two console games I want. I'll just grin and bear it.

 

[Delusibeta]

Uh... wasn't this known shortly after the port was announced?

Everyone assumed it was a mis-translation.

 

[Patryn]

Can't believe people pre-ordered this shit after all the press about it along the way.

Yeah, that is my question. I won't argue that this is a shitty port, but literally everything I've seen leading up to this has been the studio warning fans that it would be one. Didn't they literally say that they had no real experience coding for the PC?

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Meh, my third version of the game. If you are playing Dark Souls and bitching about resolution-you have a problem. Of all things to bitch about in the game: graphics are so not even important.

I consider the PS3 and 360 versions in the top 3 games on either system. 15fps Blighttown and all.

New content, under 30 bucks, smooth framerate: why not?

 

[Phinor]

Not happy, but it's still the best version of an RPG I have never played but people say is good. So my pre-order remains.
