There are only thematic connections. Dark Souls isn't a sequel to Demon's Souls.

It probably won't be the most optimised game in the world. Blighttown at 60fps may still be a dream.

Wish I was as lucky. Took me a good 30 min to get batman to work... GFWL was no doubt the most painful DRM shit I have ever experienced on pc.

One of the new bosses is called "guardian of the tomb" so maybe that's the tomb. A strange choice considering the game already has a tomb, along with a similar kind of entrance.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Have Your Save Games Deleted Edition.
It's like that boss in Demon's Souls who'd suck levels away from you.

Maybe the game requires an online connection 24/7 to play, and the purple hand appears when your save data gets deleted.

Another Day 1 buyer here! Can't wait to start my 60fps Souls run, this time a Priest.

It's even worse. It took me ages to get Dead Rising 2 to start up due to some update shenanigans from GFWL. This was bad enough since it took a lot of effort and time but then GFWL corrupted my save somewhere along the road. Yep, great service right there.
In a game like Demon's Souls losing your save is an absolute killer.

It would be horrible if they capped it at 30fps.

GFWL? And I was so excited for this. Never again am I going to deal with another GFWL game. Not even for free.

Hey that is the only way to play. Beat it in one sitting or bust!

The main thing is that it's only supported on countries which support X360, which are only a handful. There are activation limits and once you run out you have to contact MS (Someone might want to correct me on this one. There are two ways to activate games and both suck). Epic ran into a problem with Gears of War where the game wouldn't even launch due to GFWL sucking at reading dates.
Pros: You get Xbox Live integrations i.e. achievements and being able to message and chat with people playing 360 games.
Badass!

This DLC better come to consoles. I'll probably buy the PC version at some point, but right now, I'm invested in this game like no other game before. I NEED THAT CONTENT.
I wonder if there are new areas, or the bosses are in old found in old areas.
The fight with Black Dragon looks strange, it looks like you're just standing infront of him on a narrow path.
Is it just me or is that lion boss fight looks to be in the area where you fight Sif? Not to say it's in the same place, but pretty similiar. You fight Sif in a vast area in Darkroot Basin with water all over the place, but it's at night.
Plus, he's called Guardian of the Tomb. Maybe there's another tomb of Artorias? Cursed tomb of Artorias?
That vagina thing looks to be coming out of a water source? That would also make sense for that kind of creature. It looks like Darkroot Garden/Basin behind him.

I hope there's a collector's edition so I can preorder it from Best Buy and get the standard edition again.

Yeah, I thought it looked like the place you fight Sif, too.
I think one or two small new areas will probably be in, but I'm not expecting much. If there's just a cool little path that leads to a new boss I'll be happy.
Jeez dude, we heard you the first two times.

GFWL?
It IS as bad as people make out, it ruined Section 8 for me and is just a fucking burden to deal with.
PC gamers should get use to this gif for their Keyboards and Mouses.

I wonder if there will be potential to mod the game since it's on PC now.

GFWL sucks complete ass, Steam/Steamworks should have been used. Why would a dev want to go GFWL instead of Steam in the first place, what pros could there be?

That would suck.
Give me an unoptimised game which you can brute 60fps in a few years down the line in a worst case scenario.
As a From Soft fan I don't think I have a reasonable expression to express how excited I am that From Software is bringing back their first final boss character ever.
I don't even have a magic build but it just wouldn't be right if I didn't kill Guyra with the sword of moonlight.
NO

I thought Dark Souls is supposed to be easier than Demon's Souls? That was a very unforgiving game but certainly not *throw keyboard at wall* hard.PC gamers should get use to this gif for their Keyboards and Mouses.
My biggest problem with it is how it patches games. You have to boot up the game first, even if you bought it on Steam, and it's pretty slow. Having to log onto Live for certain things is a pain too.

Unfortunately, GWFL is the most popular platform on PC in Japan.
Simply porting the Xbox code, I'd guess.

Gottcha, but damn was really hoping for a full Steam release.

I've always maintained that Blgiht town would be an excellent level if the framerate wasn't ass.

The possibilities are endless.
If anyone from BAMCO is reading, you guys have an opportunity to create a lot of new fans. Don't go the shitty route and make this a barebones port. You still have time to make it as awesome as it can be. And please for the love of GOD don't cap the framerate. I would go even further and suggest to get rid of GFWL eventually as post-release support. We want your game. Don't make us regret the decision to pick up this on day one.

The petition should have been more specific apparently.
Bring Dark Souls to PC and do not use Games for Windows Live!
It's like making a wish on the monkey's paw. It's all in the wording.

If you have a GFWL game on Steam it can be patched without loading the game first. At least that's how Batman Arkham City patches have worked.
