Why is Dark Souls such a bad PC port? Is there any mod that fixes it?
>>
Dsfix is a must
>>
Dark Souls 1 was a bad port.
Dark Souls 2 was better but still had problems.
Dark Souls 2 SotFS was completely fine.
>>
>>332179515
did the DS2 update fix that logic error regarding framerate and durability?
>>
>>332179357
Are you actually retarded? I'm not really making a joke, I'm asking if you are stupid, like you barely graduated from a public school or something.
>>
>>332179515
>Dark Souls 2 was better
no
>>
>>332179572
Yes, that was the problem with DS2's launch
>>
>>332179710
Im referring to the port, not the game, and Dark Souls 2 was decent game anyway
>>
>>332179710

just fucking kill yourself
>>
>>332179357

they were inexperienced with pc ports, they even warned everyone before doing it

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-07-from-software-having-a-tough-time-porting-dark-souls-to-pc-frame-rate-issues-remain


they also promised a better dark souls 2 verson, and they actually delivered, the only problems were due to their archaic method of coding, stuff that got fixed into patches later on, dark souls 2 still stands as the most playable souls game on PC, dark souls 3 looks solid as fuck by what I hear from people with the PC version
>>
>>332179710

he was talking about the performance you ass
>>
How could someone who posts here be this out of the loop.
>>
>>332179357
I play DaS without the fix, and I have never had an issue. Framerate is very stable and everything works fine.
>>
>>332179926
Wasn't DS2 the "weakest" of the series?

>>332180074
The problem I had isn't framerate, but how the controls are so utterly shit i can barely use the menus
>>
>>332180135
Not having that issue either.
It runs so well. Not even a crash or a glitch.
Not a single problem.

Are you trying to use keyboard and mouse or something?
>>
>>332180135

game's performance =/= quality of the game

sure the port is fine but I do think it is the weakest in the series

BB = DS > DeS > DS2
>>
>>332180192
>Are you trying to use keyboard and mouse or something?

Yes.
>>
>>332180135
>Wasn't DS2 the "weakest" of the series?
In terms of world building and boss design, yes.
Pvp, weapons and armour are better, and the 3 DLC's are all great
>>
>>332180252

>2016
>trying to play games like Dark Souls with a keyboard and mouse

please invest in a controller or something if you actually don't own a console. you can buy a wired 360 one for like 20 bucks.
>>
DaS pc is exactly identical to their console counterparts.

How exactly it is a bad port?
>>
>>332180252
You are trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
Stap.
>>
>>332180448
That's how asians eat their soup
>>
>>332180392(You)
(You)
>>
>>332180448
I completed DS with mouse and keyboard just fine.
Don't see why it's supposed to be a problem.
>>
>>332180904
or just plug a controller you don't need a mod for that
>>
>>332179357
DSFIX
DSMFIX (if you want KB+M)
Texture Packs

Done. Now if only there was a website you could use to search for that kind of stuff. Like a search engine.
>>
>>332180074
Play with the fix and you'll see how shit the port is in comparison.
>>
>>332179515
>Dark Souls 2 SotFS was completely fine.
nigga wut
>>
>>332182989
is the same shit as consoles how is it a bad port?
>>
I swear dark souls is crazy hard. My first game was blood borne, which was hard as well.. But dark souls is a lot harder.

So currently I am at that blacksmith. So there is that boss who throws lighning and shit at you, which just takes minimal damage wtf.

Then there are thouse gargoyles or whatever over that church, no chance either.
Then there is that stone golem wood... What disgusting monsters but they can be tricked to reach that butterfly thing. Where the hell should i go first?

Oh yea there is that hydra or whatever, which shoots water at me lel one shot instant death. Not going there dawg.
>>
>>332183257
>is the same shit as consoles
Exactly.
>>
>>332183438
that doesn't mean it is a bad port
>>
>>332183390
I meant that lighning throwing boss takes minimal damage when I attack him
>>
>>332183390
You can go wherever you like. Just follow the first rule of Dark Souls: Stay calm, observe the enemy. Learn how he attacks and THEN try to fight him.
>>
>>332183501
Not even a boss
>>
>>332183390

i always thought Souls games were a lot easier since you can rely on a shield or even just cheese the whole game by using magic
>>
>>332179710
it was
objectively as a game and a port
>proof
metacritic's an easy one also considering its population in relation to DaS across all platforms, it's actually hard to argue it's a worse game outside of /v/ cynicism
>>
Is there any way to play DS2 online if i pirated it?
>>
>>332183390
i was legit scared of the hydra for the longest time. i hate water and sea creatures.
Darkroot Basin scared me.
when people say that DS has to be praised for the atmosphere, that's what they mean.
all it was missing was millions of tiny spiders erupting from the walls, but you do fight a giant spider, so... close.
>>
>>332183572
It seems as if stone people just can't readjust week to the student play styles messed between souls and Blood Borne. Being aggressive isn't rewarded with hp gain. Something I thought was quite casual in BB.
>>
>>332183572
I cheesed through bloodborne with parries and putting over 25 points in stamina. It was a cakewalk.

That said all the souls games have something that makes them easy as shit but that doesn't mean you have to use the easy way.
>>
>>332183572
>>332183508
>>332183667
I have blue stones and grey stones and very shiny stones. Where can I use them and upgrade my weapons?
>>
>>332184646
Are you literally dumb?
You type like a 10 year old, not even joking.
>>
>>332184850
maybe english is not his first language but on the other side you sound like a total faggot
>>
>>332184993
Nice samefag, famicom.
You could at least try to learn the correct names instead of shiny and blue stones.
>>
>>332184646
Take them to the blacksmith dude near the demon throwing lightning spears. Did you pick up a large magic ember yet by chance? I honestly forget at what poit you can get it.
>>
>>332184850
>>332184993
exactly, english is not my first language.

>>332185424
Yes but there is no option to use them anywhere... and no, I have not picked up such an ember.
>>
>>332185304
translated from german it is blue stone and grey stone you idiot.

>americans assume superiority without thinking of possible alternatives
>>
>>332186060
You should be able to do atleast a few upgrades with the "grey stones" if you click "reinforce weapons" or" reinforce armor". If you don't have enough, you can buy them directly from that blacksmith
>>
>>332187169
I can upgrade them normally and I have already. I just want to use these rare stones. In the description it is written, that a standard weapon will gain +14.
I mean that would help me a lot, if I could use it.

So is ds3 going to be 64 bit or are there going to be 2 versions like 2?
