The question is what would NOT be better on PC?
This all sounds like cheap baiting tactics, though I certainly wouldn't complain if the game popped up on PC.
I'm struggling to think of something that's not better on a PC.

The transfer "glitch" doesn't seem like a big deal to me since you can legitimately get a lot of high level gear at the start anyway. And you would still need to level up your stats to use the heavy stuff too.
I'm guessing this only works on the 360?
It's the blinding lava and the 234897 dinos in your way. And that shithead of a boss. I'm totally going to cheese that guy on my NG+ playthrough. He deserves it.

do you recreationally stare into the sun with a telescope?
Dark Souls on PC would be kickass. I'd definitely rebuy and replay it. But if we're bringing up console only games that'd be great on PC, I'd take Vanquish over anything else.

Thanks for the heads up, registered and posted in their forum.
It just takes a couple of minutes of your time, guys. Probably it won't mean shit to them, but at least no one will be able to say that we didn't try!

Kill me! I'll sacrifice for the greater good!
It would be exactly the same? Game mechanics don't magically change on PC.
This would be amazing. If it can be done it should be. This is the type of game that would have long legs on the pc platform. Can see it doing huge numbers during steam sales.
No it wouldnt. And yes game mechanics can be better on PC when said game mechanics on consoles are hindered by lag, low fps, and muddy visuals/low res. Dead Space is AMAZING on PC less so on consoles as one excellent example.

A stable framerate would improve the game and I'm not sure that's arguable. The image quality would also likely be improved, although the significance of that is more subjective.
Nailed it.
If they want to make money release it, if they don't(which seems to be the new Japanese gaming strategy) don't.

Except the original argument came about on the comment about Xbox's online functionality and how it would be superior on the PC.
Stupid comment followed by stupid counter points to something that doesn't matter. More petitioning for a PC version, less silly comparisons.
My comment was in regards to the online platform Dark Souls is using, not the overall tech.
Well that's lame, can't say I've encountered it though

Are you used to games running at 10fps or something?
It's not stupid to wonder whether or not people would even buy something in sufficient numbers to make it a profitable project. Porting and releasing games isn't free.

I wasn't addressing the original argument, I was addressing the post that I addressed. It seems on-topic enough to me because it's a discussion about how a PC version of Dark Souls would be better than the console versions.
Ah, okay, I misunderstood. Sorry about that.

The Souls games at 60FPS would be a dream. Would definitely rebuy.
Considering the moderate budget of From Software games, I bet if those games made it to PC they would be more successful than they think.

As much as I want this to happen (and I got a two week ban port begging for it so I reallllllllly want it) I doubt it would sell enough to justify the port costs.

It's more of an ARPG right? Everything is real-time with more action than a typical RPG but still lots of RPG elements. That's the best kinda RPG

I have no idea what you are talking about since the best RPG of the last year is still only available on PC.
But sure if they release a PC version of Dark Souls I'll buy it.
It's already multi-platform. If it can run on the PS3 and the 360 using a multiplatform engine, it can run on the PC (at 60FPS in 1080p or higher).

The Master Race are those that can play Dark Souls.
I'd be fine with this system.
But my cynicism tells me they would set the number at an unrealistic and unattainable ceiling on purpose.
The game runs like shit, and in 5 years it will be just that much harder to enjoy due to technology progression (try to play GoldenEye or Banjo Tooie on an N64). I want them to release it on PC for that reason alone, so when technology advances Dark Souls won't be left behind and remembered as a great game that "hasn't aged well".
Dark Souls > Witcher 2
Petition is up on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/o5j7i/petition_for_dark_souls_on_pc/
What other game?
As far as I'm concerned Dark Souls is the other game compared to Witcher 2.

The thought gives me an orgasm.
Well yeah but a lot more thought goes into the combat than most ARPG.
Dark Souls is the best RPG this gen.

I think the other elements of the game will transcend the FPS issues, but yeah, a PC version that's the "definitive" one would be great.
The FPS really is the only huge glaring flaw in this otherwise flawless game.

Better image quality and frame rate gets me all hot and bothered.
As mentioned, it runs on the PhyreEngine which should make porting to PC not terribly difficult. Plus, FromSoftware has some experience with PC development (Ninja Blade). And given their game output, I'd be shocked if there aren't some big PC game fans at the studio. Sadly, it depends on Scamco to make the call.

The Souls games are action games first and RPG second. It is possible to get through all scenarios in the games through personal skill alone.
Don't forget the death of the server eventually.

We should go Operation Rainfall on this.

A digital-only release would make perfect sense, really.
Considering the system they have in place to block party chat and the fact that you can't even invite a specific person into your game, any benefits that would have come from a 360 version were sorta absent for me. The online was just piss poor in general for the 360 at launch.
This port-begging is actually based on something other than the occasional misprint in a magazine.
