From Dust had a framerate unlock ready to go like a day after it came out.
OK no problem. Just curious. Im guessing its gonna be DLC only for now on consoles.
Japan seems to get a disc release for the PS3 version at least. I would double dip as well, the cover is just too bad ass.

The only reason I'm getting this is because I hate having to pay for Xbox Live just to play this one game. And because there have been some reports the framerate is better than the console versions. FROM, you are lucky - good thing you made a great game, that I'm willing to forgive the shittiest port to land on pc in recent history.
Just imagine what this could have been if it had been ported properly to take advantage of the power of current pcs. I weep just thinking about it.

At least here in the States it is. I know what you're saying though. They probably just assume everyone would use Steam. Another oversight perhaps. You could import it, lol.
There are other forms of getting your content other than digital? Damn, this sounds like some cool tech, what's it called?
It being digital only in some regions is the last of this games worries.
Nice OT.
Got the 360 version but stopped playing when the news of a PC version hit. Even with the shittiness of the port I really hope gfwl works and no huge bugs are present.
Might make a strength build this time around, not really sure. Really looking forward to plunging into the new content!

And it also made the game run at 2x speed.
As far as price point goes, you are getting the DLC content along with this release.

You can get it at $32 on GMG and this "almost a year old" port has hours of new content. Plus, it's fucking Dark Souls.
You again?

How's it look? Haha.
I was hoping to utilize my Dark Souls design works art book to get some really awesome images for the OT but unfortunately I was weary of bending and creasing too much. People need to see that art book though. My god it's amazing
I also realized I forgot to put the price in. I will update accordingly.
And I think some Gaffers said that unlocking the framerate in LA Noire messed up certain parts of the game.
War for Cybertron got a framerate unlocker and it came out the other end unscathed, but there's no guarantee that getting one up and running for Dark Souls won't break something.

You should really give it a try, even if you're generally not big on MP. The way it's set up is unlike any other game except Demon's Souls.
Despite all the shit, assuming the game isn't optimized garbage and actually runs well given the correct requirements, I genuinely hope you guys enjoy this game on PC. I would love for more people to get their hands on this game, I had a great time with it. Truly one of the best games this generation.
I think it adds a lot, and I'm usually single player-only as well. Players leave a bunch of messages around the world. Some of the messages are helpful tips, some are helpful warnings, some give encouragement, some tell of their despair, and some of them are straight up trolling you. And you see the bloodstain of other players who have died, and it lets you see the last eight or so seconds of their lives. Once in a while you'll see a slightly visible blue phantom walking around for a few seconds, and that's another player. Sometimes you see other players sitting with you at bonfires. Seeing all those things of the other players makes the world feel slightly more alive, like you're all struggling together for the same thing.
Co-op can help a bunch if you're stuck on a boss, plus it's just really fun teaming up with other players, and helping other players on their bosses. Then there's the invading stuff, which can be pretty scary for new players, but it's also a lot of fun. You only get invaded in human form.
Reports indicate that it's not well-optimized at all. It's a bad port, top to bottom.
No clue why they would even bother releasing it in that state or why they would have gone through with the port in the first place. If this is true and you folks have a console sitting around collecting dust, it's worth picking up.
The steam forums will literally implode when all those people realise the game is locked a 1024*720.
