IGN;Praise the sun! A Souls game has arrived on PC. It is surely weary. We'll let it rest, and get to the new edition's bonus content and the quality of the port in a moment. On the off chance you've been off collecting beetles for the last three years and missed Dark Souls entirely, here's a recap of why to be excited.
"Online features for the PC version of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (DX11) have been reactivated.
Online features for the base version of #DarkSouls II for PC (DX9) will be made available at a later date.
Our thanks for your continued patience and support."
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition saw the Souls series debut on PC 10 years ago today, alongside Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 re-releases.
Still use it as my go to on Steam, but I will never make the mistake of booting it up without mods ever again.
And it was garbage.
Luckily it was easily fixed by a modder who actually wanted a good product to be sold to people.
Dark Souls tweets: "PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services.
Servers for Dark Souls: PtDE will join them shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience."
amazing game, that's why i have every souls game. demons/dark
I think PC gamers deserve a better port, but at least they got the game. Heck, the higher Res isn't the biggest deal in the world. Game still looks good and the gameplay is unmatched. A higher Res (when it is decent enough) shouldn't bump the score that much because the rest of the design from the console version (from which this game is ported) is spot on.
Congrats in getting the game you asked for. In an ideal world a bit more care would have gone into this game, but it doesn't really matter. I would be happy with a direct port if the game was THIS good. At least it opens up the next installment in the franchise to be released on PC which is a big win!
I honestly can't stop playing it... and I bought at console launch. I still have amazing games on my shelf (Arkham City and Witcher 2 to name a couple) that I got for my bday (May) but I can't put Dark Souls down.
FromSoft really made a masterpiece, imHo.
