Dark Soul's: Prepare to Die Edition (PC)

Just defeated the boss in Sen's Fortress and have now been whisked to Anor Londo by 2 winged creatures, Anor Londo looks stunning when you first arrive and get the panoramic camera sweep.

Still need to clear The Catacombs and lower the Water In New Londo Ruins, really want the very large Ember so I can upgrade to +15, mind you my +10 claymore is positively scything through the undead scum at the moment.:cool: Also recently met the blacksmith in the Catacombs (funny looking chap!:p) and embellished a ******* sword with fire damage, will probably keep my claymore non fire/lightning and just get it to +15 to keep the strength/Dex scaling.

I can see me playing through this game again and again, finding it hard to tear myself away and play anything else since starting Dark Souls, may go for a NG+ when finished but also quite keen to restart with a completely new character.

Anyone else on NG+ or ++ etc, if so how are you finding the increased difficulty level?
 
I'm on NG+ and it's about the same, with the Silver Serpent Ring I'm getting 100k + from some bosses, so leveling up is pretty ridiculous. :p
 
With regards to NG+ - With the new content you end up even higher level than you did in the console version which means on NG+ you quickly slaughter the earlier bosses (Like Taurus, Capra etc which gave up beef the first time around!). Later stuff remains a challenge though particuarly as stat diminishing returns and higher experience required per levels kicks in.
 
Dark Souls 30fps feels like 60 anyway so I don't see the need for a 60fps 'fix'. :p

They should spend this time making some d3overrides that fix awful AMD performance, playing other games after Dark Souls with no issues really makes me think back to how badly this game stutters and all the 15fps moments. :(

Tbh it's not too bad with my card, but it's just more excuses in the box beside me named "Get a damn Nvidia" :p

I know you have the AMD processor though so that's going to be worse! Do you have a box?

It's the processor that cripples it, and what the hell are you on about do I have a box? :p

Do you have a box full of reasons for switching to Intel? :D

God yes, but the poor performance isn't down to the FX line being poor, infact no games bad performance is, it's the fact that even on the off chance (especially with ports) that a developer even bothers to optimize a game for PC hardware, they'll still screw AMD over. Intel are much, much better processors but all of the processors AMD have made in the past few years are all still way more than capable of playing any game, it's just that the majority of games are extremely poorly made. The biggest selling point of Intel/Nvidia is far from them being stronger hardware, it's the fact that most games are programmed to run fine on them, even ones that are AMD biased, whereas a blue/green biased game is made to cripple AMD most of the time. The only games I know of that run poorly on AMD hardware are biased away from it. Being red sucks, I feel for hellboy. /rant

You'll be coughing up a lot of green for less bang than your buck than you'd get with ATI. AMD are still king for the GPU's IMHO, as long as you have an Intel CPU your AMD GPU can live to its full potential.
