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

AWPC said:
Thats because it looks pretty decent in motion the artwork is very dull looking by design to give the dank/dark atmosphere it looks much better in motion lots of drama queens around as always trying to convince themselves why they should not buy a decent game because of XYZ ;)

It looks a LOT better than the console versions already the low res textures are not even noticeable & modders are fixing those right now anyway by upscaling & resampling them before they get drawn ;)

Out of the box it looks exactly the same as the console variant.

The low res textures are damn noticeable, even with the resolution fix it still looks like vomit.
It's fine to be a fanboy, don't be an idiot too.

Looks absolutely awful on the PC from the screen shots I've seen.

Screenshots do not do it any justice whatsoever in motion it looks more than acceptable the screenshots do not capture the water FX of dripping water down the walls for instance it has better textures than many other PC games of late you really need to play this & see with your own eyes no video/ ingame footage or screenshots convey the unique graphical look :D

So he's an idiot because he enjoys the game and wants to play it on PC? Mate if you can't play the game because you put that much emphasis on visuals, move on, you don't have to sit in a topic and insult the people who enjoy it. :confused:

Your talking complete & utter rubbish I have seen & played my own retail version it looks way better than the console versions already without any upscaling mods (which are coming) we all get the memo your on some campaign to derail this games launch for some bizarre reason but perhaps have a rest from posting here as your not contributing anything other than uninformed garbage so perhaps to save yourself further embarrassment go post somewhere else where you can find a captive audience :rolleyes:
 
Thought you meant looks awful in terms of a game to play, not just graphically.

Looks pretty bland, but gameplay wise looks great. Shame they've stuck with using a game pad though, K+M configuration looks horrific.

Yeah I tried with K+M and it will frustrate you more then getting killed :D Pad is the only way imo. Some might be able to get on with K+M though, just not me. But I am not fussed I got the 360 pad for this very reason. Same with Ninja Blade, pad is needed.

No, he's an idiot because he's talking trash, just like when he posted the "facts" about the game a page back.
I didn't say he's an idiot because he enjoys the game, don't spout rubbish.

I've never dissed the game play AT ALL.

Then you've got a serious eyesight issue, as I'm not the only person who thinks it looks awful.
I've played the 360 version and the PS3 version, my friends are massive advocates of the game too.

I can't see on that link anyone say there are working on any upscaling/resampling of textures?

There's very few actual pictures in the thread of native resolution screenshots but the few that are there do look better. Still limited by the detail in the source textures like many a console port. I'll need to wait until more people have played the game before I decide on getting it or not.

And they do.
But to insinuate we're miles past console graphics is incorrect (Not that you did, but AWPC)
 
I had to stop playing, was getting quite far and have to do it all again tomorrow lol :)

I understand peoples views as we are all allowed views. Graphics as they stand are the same as the consoles, although this mod makes them much better. But for anyone who has not played this game and are sitting on the fence because the price and what you get etc, then make sure you do get it in a sale or whatever. The game is a masterpiece and deserves to be played.

Someone is working on a DX9 FXAA injector its around page 15 he starts to post some before after pics. Game looks ok @ default on my PC AFAIC anything more is a bonus some people get hung up on the small technical details even when the results are good its all about pixel numbers to them no doubt they were never ever going to buy the game anyway & will just move onto the next game they will not buy either in a few weeks :rolleyes:
 
If you begin to look past the smaller faults, how long until you look past faults that matter?
And I do intend to buy it, when it's fixed. I don't run a 120HZ monitor to run at 30 FPS.
It's not all about the pixel numbers in the slightest, I'd sooner play a flipping PS2 game than a lot of current AAA titles.
PC gamers don't go out of their way to get superior set ups to run at the same experience as running it on a console.

The game is brilliant, it's cheap to pick up on console.
But it is not a good port on the PC in its out of box state, regardless of the spin put on it.

£30 is abit cheeky, maybe releasing Dark Souls for £15 and the DLC for £5 would have been better, or better yet releasing it for £20 in the first place. :p

Well you can get retail with all the extras for £24. I understand people not wanting to pay this but for me it was always going to happen for this game no matter what. Long as it played on par with its console counterpart I was happy. The res/texture mods are just a bonus for me. Same as people buy fifa each year for the same old game, can't really moan at them as they enjoy the franchise.
