The closer this game gets to release, the more aggravated I get that there's no confirmation on 60FPS for it on PC.
Still going Deprived, looks fun as fuck.

they should check their inbox man, damn
If they lock the framerate to thirty, I want a pledge from the fuckers that they won't ban players who unlock their framerate using mods.
Don't worry, after receiving backlash from the community they'll just release an enhanced version in a year so you can spend another $30!
It's a load of horseshit that they can't unlock the framerate of Dark Souls 3 for engine reasons. Unless I'm mistaken, they're running it on an upgraded version of the engine they're using for Dark Souls 1, and Durante modded that to work at 60FPS all by himself. They just don't want to make the effort.
I wouldn't mind durability issues and dodgy jumping as long as it's 60, I want to be able to actually react to attacks
They lock the framerate because they have memory targets to meet. They build the engine around fixee calulations using frames as reference in order to save on CPU and expensive back end stuff. They have to do it to make the game run on consoles, and 30 fps is the easier thing to build around. Yeah it sucks compared to 60, but it's the only effective means of getting a console to run it well. So its console memory at fault as much as developer.
They undoubtedly could have done 60FPS, but stuck with 30 so they could have more flashy visuals.
I know of a few games that removed framerate-based gameplay by changing the calculations to be based on time in seconds, although I don't know how much more taxing that is on a person's system.
This is dissapointing but on the plus side my friend is very likely to owe me 15 Demon Titanites/Petrified Dragon Bones/Petrified Dragon-Demon Titanite Boners!!
Real talk that's just miserable.

That's still no excuse for charging full price for another half-assed PC port. PCs can handle more than consoles by far, and they had a responsibility to meet industry standards. Seriously, fuck 'em.
I wonder when they built the new engine for Bloodborne, did they make performance scaling easier? They knew how well souls sold on PC and I'm pretty sure they said they'd tend to the port as much as they did DS2's

That's what I was counting on them doing, too. I guess we'll know for sure by the 24th.

Isn't the Dancer actually male? The tombstone just before the boss refers to it as a "he".

As I recall, it was confirmed female. What exactly did the tombstone say?
Edit:
I found it. [SP]The exile was chased from his homeland, and haunted by a black sun.[/SP]
I dunno, man. Doesn't seem to be referring to the Dancer at all.

Oh man I really hope this is an elaborate prank
And that is why I'm not preordering
[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;49901192]does it matter[/QUOTE]
Ass is ass.
now there are anons saying "Yea it was an old version of the network test
QC testers have already verified the game runs at 60 fps"
im not trusting what anybody says until the game is actually released or people provide proof that its 30/60/whatever, but either way im still buying
Watching the network test footage, the knight-like enemies seem to have very fast strikes with only the most minor telegraphing. At 30fps it feels like watching a slideshow to me, since I'm accustomed to twice that. And since I like to think I'm extremely good at parrying, I need a higher framerate to time my inputs right.

watch them sell a 60fps version of ds3 a year after release

60fps and DX12.

Prepare to die....harder edition.
Scholar of the last sin
I really hope they don't do that again. That completely fucked the DS2 community on PC. Get it right the first time.

Try turning off MSAA in DSfix and SweetFX
I too really hope Bamboo Vietnam doesn't fucking re release the game. It's hard enough convincing my brother to buy this and I doubt anyone will suddenly bail me out of the then-dead community that'll happen once the SotFS equivalent is out.

True, it may not be talking about the Dancer at all. But I found it unusual for it to be located right before the boss, so I assumed it was referring to the Dancer.
