Dark Souls 2 - Thread

[llamadal]

They changed the lighting engine as apparently it was literally broken on consoles, it was also causing lower end PCs issues.



I doubt it will get any real mod support, certainly not to the degree of a game like Skyrim (hardly any do), remember FROM are not a PC developer and modding is really a PC only thing.

That being said I highly expect there to be some form of modding, if only in the form of textures.

you say that, but ds1 on pc became playable because of mods, it started out looking like a turd, but once you chuck on all the high res packs, up the res, it looks and runs amazing

Anyone else get an email that its been pushed back to 2nd May now? Amazon emailed me the new release and that's what it's showing up as on the website now...

 

[agnes]

Steam showing 25th April still... Please don't let it be delayed.

UK retail version has just been pushed back to 2nd May not sure if the digital release is affected as well.

I am waiting for the Steelbook release and this has been pushed back along with all other UK retail releases by 1 week

Same thing which happened with Batman Arkham Origins & a few other high profile Steam releases is they delayed the UK retail release to force people to pay the higher digital prices as the retail release is around £25 right now.......

yep been pushed back a week. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/04/15/dark-souls-2-pc-retail-release-delayed

I have managed to avoid spoilers until now hopefully I will be able to last another week.

Just the boxed version seems to be mentioned? Digital version is still on track then? Just seems odd to specifically mention the boxed version

 

[Frenzy]

It stated only the boxed version is affected due to manufacturing issues.

 

[Pighardia]

Steam still says 25th, so I assume it is just the boxed version.

+1,I'd like to buy pc download.

I tend to look at http://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/ for the cheapest places. £19.99 is the cheapest so far, which is a perfectly good price for me

 

[Pighardia]

Bought PS3 version for £40 at release, sold for £30 and now buy again for £20 on PC....worked out quite well

Think I'm gonna pick this up for £20 not finished dark souls 2 yet but it's horribly addictive.

I ordered from CJS Keys and I am told 24 hours (sometimes 48 hours) before release before you can preload. Although I'm sure it differs with different retailers.

 

[Buckster]

Got my code from game early this morning and have now fully preloaded on Steam

 

[keogh]

Fair enough, so diff retailers do get them at diff times.
