Dark Souls (PC/PS3/360)v2 - Prepare to Die edition. - Games

[quote]There's also something curious about the resolution too in that there's no change in clarity when attempting to crank up the settings. On close inspection, it appears that Dark Souls PC uses the very same 1024x720 internal framebuffer as the console versions, regardless of which resolution has been set in the menus.[/quote] Sigh, I hadn't pre-ordered a game in years, and now I remembered why.

The developers said it themselves that they weren't going to fix the FPS in Blighttown. Odd.

I KNEW IT. It's not a bug of Blighttown, it's a feature.

[QUOTE=HALP Cat;37152463]The developers said it themselves that they weren't going to fix the FPS in Blighttown. Odd.[/QUOTE] They were having trouble with the PC port, maybe the solved whatever problem they were having for not fixing that. Not odd at all.

I'm thinking that's a result of the extra horsepower though. I have a feeling I'm still going to get a fair share of chugging on my dual core Athlon.

Those new areas look amazing I am so ready for this to come out

I wish they'd sell it as an expansion pack for xbox though. I don't want to have to buy the full game again.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;37154006]I wish they'd sell it as an expansion pack for xbox though. I don't want to have to buy the full game again.[/QUOTE] Well they're selling it as DLC. You just gotta wait.

Hyped as fuck after watching that.

jesus christ it's like gwyn meets king allant oh god i want

So the area really isn't new, but just the Darkroot Garden several hundred years in the past?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;37157774]So the area really isn't new, but just the Darkroot Garden several hundred years in the past?[/QUOTE] I think that's just one of the areas, but yeah I noticed that it was the Darkroot Garden as well. It's actually pretty cool.

Man, I don't want Artorias to be a bad guy :(

[QUOTE=HALP Cat;37156055][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjWmqQ4VAKg[/media][/QUOTE] Wow... I really want to get Artorias' armor now and use it to create an Artorias PvP character.

"North America digital only" Fuck dammit. I'd try to get it on Amazon but it'd cost more than I can afford at the moment, and they probably won't even be selling it with all the extra stuff anymore by the time I am.

they said the new content is free dlc on the console right because i enjoy free

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;37159846]they said the new content is free dlc on the console right because i enjoy free[/QUOTE] $15 and a few months later then pc.

[QUOTE=PieClock;37148954]Sadly that eurogamer one mentions it: So there's good and bad news, but the bad news is nothing we didn't know was coming.[/QUOTE] wait if the game is locked at 30fps why does the screenshot show 60fps as an option? What does that do?

[QUOTE=The Baconator;37163657]wait if the game is locked at 30fps why does the screenshot show 60fps as an option? What does that do?[/QUOTE] It's just the refresh rate. It's how fast the monitor refreshes (60 Hertz = 60 cycles per second), the game itself can run at any amount of FPS (obviously since the monitor refreshes at 60Hz, going above 60FPS is useless as the screen won't refresh in time to show the increase past 60).

So does this mean that you're the reason Artorias is dead in the regular time? Also, I was in the Duke's Archives, and found a golden golem in the courtyard that contains the Crystal Cave. It had the daughter of the Onion Knight in it. When she went to Firelink Shrine, she asked me where her dad was, to which I said no since I hadn't seen him since he left Firelink. Has this happened to anyone else? Where does he go after Firelink?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;37163709]So does this mean that you're the reason Artorias is dead in the regular time?[/QUOTE] He had to be put down after being corrupted by The Abyss. I don't know why but I'm expecting Sif to be a normal sized wolf or a pup somewhere in the new content :v:

its not available in my region and i was about to pre-order it :smith:

[QUOTE=e_k_M;37164809]its not available in my region and i was about to pre-order it :smith:[/QUOTE] Buy it on GMG, use ORDER-NTCOM-PLETE for 25% off.

Why is Artorias' left arm limp like that? Have I missed something? [editline]10th August 2012[/editline] I was also thinking that what if killing Artorias is the same kind of thing as killing Maiden Astraea in Demon's souls. Like, you know, a bad shitty thing?

How do I learn more magic in Demon's Souls?

[QUOTE=JesterUK;37167009]How do I learn more magic in Demon's Souls?[/QUOTE] If I remember right you buy magic off a guy sitting in the place with all the portals to different levels.
