I'll still buy it day 1 regardless of what happens, although I would prefer to have no GFWL.
No! GFWL is really underrated. We need AAA games using it to show GFWL's potential.
They seem like pretty cool devs, let's hope they don't take the Rockstar route and give us a great game bogged down by such a shitty platform.

Sarcasm?

Holy shit.

Also the supposed lack of graphical options, interface changes as well as minimal keyboard support.
These dev's are really cool

And you're all getting this from where exactly?
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;35625203]And you're all getting this from where exactly?[/QUOTE]
People posting articles in the Dark Souls thread. Could all be rumours for all I know but if they're true this port is fucked.
That seems like a lot of caring for a community with a lot of demands and portability challenges. Positively surprised. I can see why GFWL is an attractive decision under these special circumstances however. TotalBiscuit mentioned something similar.
What is there to discuss? If they want money they'll drop GFWL.
I'm still going to buy it even if it's on GFWL, it may piss me off to no end but they're actually listening to us which is more than you can say about other developers.
Edit:

Ok I take back what I said I'll buy it if it's not a half arsed piece of shit.

Kind of like how Fallout 3 had it and everyone hated it?

Straight 360 port.
GFWL is one thing, but being a direct port is just horrible. If that is really true I'm not getting it. Direct ports are rarely(aka never) good.
Honestly, I'm just glad they're porting it at all.

Or GTA IV.

And this is the problem. When games are glad for getting fed second hand trash other developers take the hint and do the same. Then people complain why pc gaming is filled with shitty ports.

It was a battle and a half to even GET a port, let alone an amazing one.
30FPS cap doesn't bother me for a game like this personally, neither does GFWL as I've never had a problem with it.
It doesn't sound like a SHITTY port, just sounds lazy.

It took an enormous amount of support to even make the port happen, complaining about it after it's done would probably discourage other devs from allowing their fans to influence their decisions in the future too.

If they had any sense they'd see why people were complaining.
GFWL is half the battle. Crappy port that seems to be true more and more is a bigger problem to me. I don't care how much effort it took to get it on PC, if all we get is a turd on a plate, to me, that's not worth anything.
People should chill down with the bad port claims until we're actually close to the release.

[quote]First up, support for a keyboard and mouse will be included but minimal, with Miyazaki recommending use of a game pad and confirming that the menu and inventory screens will remain unaltered. Graphic options will be similarly sparse, which Miyazaki attributes to Namco Bandai requesting that the game be a “straight port”; this may even rule out optimisation in areas such as Blighttown and New Londo Ruins where the developer’s technical achievements on console were not able to quite match that of their artistic vision, resulting in frame-rate issues.

No no no, please be not true. I wanted the game so much but bad news pour in more and more each day.
So many corners are being cut and the fanbase is absurdly fickle at this time of development, especially when it's a game they care about possibly being ruined. It's good to see they have their ear to the ground but when the publisher is being a dick about it, it's difficult.
Maybe the Publishers will notice all the publicity it's getting and realize it should be a significant development rather than a quick port, unlikely but you can always hope.
