    Oh god this is awesome. Good thing I waited.
    Now I just hope that the system requirements will be reasonable.

    This is why I didn't buy it straight away. PC version, what a beauty.

    So, I will likely wait to see how good it is on the PC through reviews and the like before a purchase, just to make sure.

    ...I... honestly did not see any of this coming. From has never been big on the PC ports or the DLC, despite how well it'd fit most of their console-exclusive IPs. Good, this game and this franchise need as many bumps as they can get. And adding more content to a game I'm already head-over-heels in love with is well worth the extra $15.

    New equipment! That's honestly the most exciting part to me. Maybe they'll release something else that utterly breaks the meta, rofl. Move over zaphander.

    Apparently the port is going to suck. They openly admited that they're having problems with it and will run at 30fps with slowdowns just like the console version. Resolution won't even change. I'll skip this one until it goes on sale.

    I don't think so

    also I swear, it sucks that we have to deal with bad fps on a pc port of dark souls, BLIGHT TOWN IS GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE

    I wanna see some articles. Either GameInformer or EpicNameBro heard that they're fixing Blighttown. So we're getting some conflicting reports. Is this from an official interview/announcement? And if so, how recent?

    Either way, Blighttown's not that bad to begin with. The portion that lags to hell and back is actually entirely, easily, skippable. I do it on every play-through.

    Welp, guess what I heard was wishful thinking.

    Good thing I have it on PS3, all I have to do is get the DLC~
