Complaining about it at this point might actually result in it being fixed.

Quoting this just in case.
Oh I'm not arguing against any of that. Those people are crazy.
I'm on the side of the people annoyed by this apparently shitastic port. I own the game on PS3 and have beaten it, so I know how great a game it is, and it's a shame so many who have never played it will be put off by a lackluster port.
Just in case what? I'm dropping the most REAL troof bombs up in here.

Just in case duckroll is still around

pretend it's an old game ;P
Basically this is what PC gamers/multiplatform gamers are afraid of:
Now I will say that GoldenHelmet did good by everyone by sticking around, taking advice and constructive criticisim, and actually trying to fix the port to the best of their abilities...however if something similar happens with Dark Souls...we probably wont have the same chance to actually discuss the problem with people who handled the port.

It practically will be? How does that lower the price?
That was even worse though, that game to this day still will not work on my PC. I paid $15 for literally nothing.
If you read over the replies you should be able to at least SEE why, whether or not you agree. The "We asked for a blu-ray, and got a DVD burned to a blu-ray!" analogy was most fitting.
It would be nice if everyone who didn't purchase them tell them exactly why, instead of simply not purchasing.
pipe dream though.

I don't think locking the resolution has ever occurred in a port in the past. How are they even serious about this?
Shitty console --> PC ports have been particularly problematic this generation and they aren't really anything to cheer about. A mid-range PC these days is capable of much more than consoles and it's silly to technically restrict it in the ways they apparently are.
Yep, perfect analogy.
Yeah! It feels great when that they release that old DVD on BR but without the "HD".
Feels awesome.

Boom. Should have been first post. And with a Francis York Morgan avatar, no less.
PC-only people: ignore for a second the (seemingly) graphical shortcomings the port will have and please focus in enjoying this great atmospheric and hard action RPG.

It's a shame they didn't want to make the game more cinematic, 30fps is still too high...
Why? If they don't feel it's worth it until it drops in price I don't see the problem.
Did they say what the MSRP for it is yet anyhow?
If the game looks like this, it will be looking WORSE than console versions despite coming out over a year later.
I'm still waiting until we hopefully get the HD edition assets...but who knows if thats still happening.

I see we're in the acceptance phase of this all.
It has...well sorta. Oddworld Strangers Wrath only had like 3 resolutions to choose from.

That still hasn't happened? I doubt it ever will, the PS3 has been out so long and I can't even get it to run, it goes black once it hits the title screen for me. I wish it would just boot so I can actually play it, I'm so frustrated with that stupid port I don't even care if I never get HD assets, I just want it to play.
Some of us still can't even get past the title screen. :/ That was bar none the worst PC port EVER.

Well locked low framerate and resolution makes it easy to pass on it for it's likely usage of GFWL.
Hopefully for those without consoles, someone figures out some cfg hacks or something.

Lots of people care. Dark Souls looks great, and that's part of the appeal of the game. These upscaled blurry images look far worse than the original PS3 game.
Nobody will buy a year+ late port with WORSE graphics.

As some one who plays it on 360 I can't see how people fail to understand the disappointment of a game not being optimized for PC. These guys spend a lot of money for their rigs so it won't have the consoles short comings. This game is far from perfect on console. The frame rate dips way too often. This port sounds about as lazy as any I have ever heard of. They have every right to be upset. Namco has literally done shit to take advantage of the superior hardware. Hell they aren't even giving proper mouse and KB support. I enjoy this game on console, but if you are gonna go PC do it right and put some amount of work into it and the PC community will be grateful. This shit is just laughable.
Locked framerate can likely be bypassed with an outside mod, though I dunno how that'll affect online play.

i expect plenty of mods and tweaks, maybe
It's really not hard to understand that PC gamers aren't happy with a garbage port. They have certain basic standards that need to be met and virtually none of them are.
And that is exactly why people are complaining about the what the interview may entail. Dark Souls ending up as the "Strangers Wrath quality" port of 2012 would just be a travesty.
I really hope all the people asking "why the complaints?" take a moment to check out the Strangers Wrath/Munch's Odyssey port thread, or at least the quote I pulled from it. Its not a matter of feeling entitled...its just a matter of doing the job right.
Imagine getting a 360/PS3 port of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, only to have it be stuck at 480p and not be voice chat compatible.
Not virtually none, actually none.
Supposedly locked at 720p so no PC resolutions supported
Bare minimum mouse/kb support
No graphics options
30fps locked
GFWL online
It's like they asked themselves "what's the worst possible port we could make?" and then did that.
Like I said, damned.

Ya, it's weird more people will agree to rage over on disk DLC than a terrible port job. Or like others have said, the terrible skyrim and fallout ports that literally would kill themselves if you saved too much.
From Dust was locked to 30fps on the pc because the physics was linked to the fps. If you had 60fps or more, everything was fucked up :\
