No, Dark Souls Is Not The Worst Port In History
I keep hearing the same lines over and over again: people refuse to support the “lazy” Dark Souls port; some are calling it the worst port in history.
Some PC gamers are so infatuated with mouse and keyboard, even the very thought of playing on a controller is sacrilegious.
But here’s a few things to keep in mind:
This is an incredible game with many dozens of hours of gameplay. There’s a fix that makes it look leaps and bounds better than the console version and takes about one minute to install. Plug in a controller and you’ll have a challenging, rewarding, dark action-RPG that really is something hardcore PC gamers should play.
I’ve noted the problems with the port, and it does have them. There is no conceivable way I’d play the game on mouse and keyboard and live to tell the tale. But with a controller the game plays flawlessly, looks amazing, and promises hours of new content.
Durante, the modder who fixed the graphics issues, is already on the fourth iteration of his mod. The game, in other words, just keeps getting better. And I keep beating this drum because I really think you’re missing out on a great gaming experience if you’re a PC gamer who hasn’t had the chance to play this yet. You can say From is lazy or the port is awful or whatever, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re going to miss out on something very worthwhile.
Having played the game on Xbox 360 and PC now, I can say hands down I prefer the PC experience. So what if a modder had to nudge it along? It’s a shame From didn’t get that far itself, but the fix is in, folks. The Dark Souls community strikes again
I’m biased, absolutely, this is one of my top five games of all time – but if this port was actually bad or unplayable (and it is with mouse and keyboard in my experience) I would say so.
If I enjoyed the console version more, I would say so. I’m not the best Souls player out there, but I do know a thing or two about the game, and it’s bloody terrific on PC.
Just buy a controller. It’s a good accessory for any gaming PC anyways.
And enjoy the gorgeous views.
All screenshots taken from Neogaf. Screens of my own experience thus far can be found here.
P.S. I meant to ask: What do you think the actual worst port in history is? You can vote for this one. I promise I won’t cast Soul Arrow on you until you disintegrate.

Πιστεύω ότι αξίζει πολύ να το παίξει κάποιος είναι πολύ καλό και έχει πολλά συν +,έμενα αυτό που μου την είχε σπάσει είναι ότι είχε πολλά bugs και μου κολλούσε συχνά ,επίσης είχα θέμα με τα frame rate όπου σερνόταν σαν σκουλήκι.… (σε ps3)
Ειδικά αυτοί που δεν έχουν κονσόλα επιβάλλεται να το παίξουν , Το πρόβλημα όμως είναι ότι έχω ακούσει διάφορα άσχημα σχόλια όπως: ότι δεν είναι καλό το port , ότι έχει αρκετά bugs ,τα γραφικά δεν είναι βελτιωμένα και το χειρότερο ότι δεν μπορεί να παιχτεί με keyboard, κάποιοι είπαν ότι θέλει χειριστήριο αλλιώς δεν…
δεν ξέρω κατά ποσό ισχύουν oλλα αυτά εγώ θεώρησα σωστό να τα γράψω !
Θα δούμε πάντως τι θα γίνει, εγώ μάλλον θα το δοκιμάσω !

Tα μοναδικά προβλήματα frame rate που αντιμετώπισα ήταν στην Blighttown. Εκεί είναι γενικευμένο το θέμα και ναι υπήρξε πρόβλημα..Κατ' τα άλλα τεχνικά προβλήματα δεν αντιμετώπισα πουθενά και το θεωρώ αριστούργημα στο σύνολό του. Τώρα όσον αφορά το Pc, μια χαρά μπορεί να αποδώσει το gameplay το keyboard-mouse combo, δεν βλέπω που το δύσκολο. Αλλά και μοχλό να θέλει, με 15 ευρώ βρίσκεις γαμώ τους μοχλούς πλέον στην αγορά. Επίσης πως γίνεται να είναι κακό port από τη στιγμή που δεν έχει γίνει καν release? This is From Software we're talkin about.. Για τους λάτρεις των RPG, πιστεύω να το έχετε τσιμπήσει ήδη
Enjoy fellows.
p.s. Στα παραπάνω footage μια χαρά φένεται...

Dark Souls: Prepare To Die A Bit Less, Perhaps
In news that will doubtfless prove SHOCKING to that contingent of gamers who believe that playing a highly challenging videogame says something meaningful about what manner of human being they are, the lead dev of notoriously unforgiving and badly-ported RPG Dark Souls claims to be considering adding in an easier mode for those who are put off by its steep challenge.
Before you reach for that pitchfork, bear in mind that nothing is confirmed – in fact From Software’s Hidetaka Miyazaki seemed to be thinking aloud when he told free UK tabloidMetro that “it is true that Dark Souls is rather difficult and a number of people may hesitate to play. This fact is really sad to me and I am thinking about whether I should prepare another difficulty that everyone can complete or carefully send all gamers the messages behind our difficult games.”
He was equally aware of the part challenge plays in Dark Souls success’ and appeal, however – “I personally want my games to be described as satisfying rather than difficult. As a matter of fact, I am aiming at giving players sense of accomplishment in the use of difficulty.” He does go on to tackle the aspect of this game, or at least its reception, that has troubled me as I’ve watched assorted twitter folk wave their e-penises about their experiences in it – that there’s a difference between difficulty that adds to how “interesting” a game is and difficulty that is really just “hindrance or stress that does not attribute to such interesting and worthwhile elements.” In other words, Dark Souls is a great game because it a great game, not because it’s a hard game. Hard, by itself, means and says nothing. In Dark Souls, it’s merely one part of a much grander, much more ambitious design.
Despite these ruminations, I’d be very surprised if Dark Souls did have an ‘easy’ mode retro-fitted to it – more likely it would make an appearance in whatever the next Souls game turns out to be. Either way there’ll be scandal, of course, but he’s not talking about removing the difficulty – trouble is that won’t negate the outrage of those who feel the Souls games are their special members’ only club that the riff-raff shouldn’t be allowed into, even if they are restricted to the cheap seats.
Then there’s the other issue around Dark Souls. While Hidetaka Miyazaki isn’t pressed on why the PC port is so perfunctory – even to the point that it took fans mere moments to fix one aspect of it – and whether it’ll be improved, he does also reveal that “we did not plan to create the PC version at all on our development schedule. So the petition campaign was absolutely [a] big surprise for us. I believe that the petition was one of the main factors that we finally determine on creating the PC version.”
Online petitions do work after all then, eh? That’s very heartening (and frightening, given that mobs just as frequently form around insidious causes as quasi-noble ones), and I hope will spell good things for the PC-based future of the Souls games.
