Spoiler

I just saw on mine a co-worker Facebook:

Will it be a PC version? Will the Codex finally reckon Dark Souls as one of the best "Action-RPG" of the last years? Will it be a shitty DLC? Will ITZ really happen and the gods are just teasing us with a great month for the Codex? Will the person who wrote "help us breakdown" fix that?

 

[Haba]

Won't be PC announcement.

 

[Excidium]

Would be cool.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

A new and exciting Dark Souls patch for our loyal ps3 and xbox fans!

 

[Morgoth]

Expansion pack or PC version. No point otherwise to make such an announcement.

 

[Kaol]

What is so amazing about dark souls?

Heard real good things about it, was the only thing I considered buying a console for. Would be super cool if it was ported to PC.

Yep. Heard only good things about it, also from the console players of the Codex, so a PC version would be great.

 

[Volrath]

A PC version would never work without a gamepad.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

dark souls is so good that even reddit gamers use it as the sole example of why games these days are still awesome and to refute any claims of decline

"Games handhold the fuck out of you these da-"
"DARK SOULS, STOP BITCHING"

"Games shove a generic plot in your face and use exposition like a fat man uses his microwa-"
"DARK SOULS NUFF SAID PERIOD"

"Games have shallow mechanics and the same fucking kind of monste-"
"HAVE YOU PLAYED DARK SOULS IT DID IT RIGHT"

 

[Volrath]

Dark Souls is the new TWitcher for codexers.

Cool story bro.

But DS is nothing like twitcher.

Like... at all.

I'm still skeptical about action RPGs in general, but it depends how it is done i suppose. I liked FO:3 and FO:NV but they were first person.

It's not an action rpg. It has number and dragons, so it's an old-school hardcore rpg experience.

Good job, that should keep us busy arguing until they reveal what's this all about.

 

[Metro]

Combat is really good, the rest... not so much.

 

[Gregz]

Never got to play this one, hope it's a PC port.

 

[Whisky]

I'd need to get a gamepad if a PC version came out. Shit just would not work with mouse and keyboard.

Only problem with the game is the slowdowns in many areas. If that was fixed in a PC port, I'd definitely pick it up.

 

[Havoc]

Yo dawg, herd u like announcements. So I announce an announcement about an announcement that will announceFUCKTHISSHIT!

Newshit game that punishes failure, imagine that.

Also good aesthetics and atmosphere, for our resident artfags.

Might actually be a decent game then

 

[MaskedMan]

Prolly ps vita version or some shit.

 

[praetor]

for you numbnuts that claim it wouldn't work on kb+mouse: have you ever played Blade of Darkness? it didn't have the most polished/optimized/whatever controls scheme, but it was sure as hell more than serviceable. fucking

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Blade of Darkness had more difficult combat than Dark Souls too.

Unless you played as hax Amazon that is.

 

[ChristofferC]

I think I would really enjoy this game.

yes and no (looking at DkS from a pure melee standpoint since taking into consideration the seriously OP magic/pyro would be unfair since BoD lacks something similar). i'm replaying it now (knight & barb) with oscuro's rebalance (makes it a bit more difficult, imho). dodging, for example, doesn't give inv frames and covers much less distance and is quite a bit clunkier (not counting the amazon, of course), but it combos straight into a dodge-attack at fairly low levels making it more "combat-effective". blocking is also much less effective because of lulzy low durability of shields early on (although later they become significantly more important.. aaand they don't drain any stamina) and enemies aren't usually staggered for long. but you have a much wider variety of moves/weapon so landing hits is somewhat easier than in DkS, and some very powerful combos are quite easy to land making fights against most of the big baddies quite trivial. the only reason why i'd give a slight advantage to BoD over DkS is because it pits you more often in fights vs multiple opponents that are relatively agile, can block and have fast attacks (knights, goblins, orcs etc..) although that advantage is partially negated because enemies can damage each other so you can whittle down their health by just circling around them, and the fact that DkS has the way too easily abused backstab

So is this the first time an online petition ever accomplished something?
