Dark Souls PC

[Desmond]

I downloaded and started playing this yesterday. Here are my first impressions:
Seems more or less same as Dark Souls PTDE. Graphics don't seem improved at first glance though the improved flames in the bonfires is obvious. The game looks slightly darker overall but that could be because of my settings. Pretty much breezed through the game until the Dragon Bridge. There are some very minor graphics improvements such as a few reflective puddles in Undead Burg but they don't really add anything gameplaywise. Real test will come when I reach Blighttown and Demon Ruins.

Are you guys playing DS with controller or KB/M combo?

 

[Desmond]

Controller.
Will try the remaster with KB/M later and see if it's improved.

is there any ingame info on how many times you Died ?

is there any ingame info on how many times you Died ?

None that I've seen so far. Dark Souls 2 had this counter accessible from that monument in Majula but both 1 and 3 don't have it AFAIK.

is there any ingame info on how many times you Died ?

No one would like to know about that. We die too many times to count.

 

[Desmond]

There is this - Dark Souls death counter - Home

Upload your savefile and it will tell you how many times you've died.

^^Looks like NIOH

 

[gameranand]

Well location and setting looks similar, gameplay wise it should be different.

Dedicated thread for this - SEKIRO - Shadows Die Twice

People are saying that this will be a souls-like. But the action seems to be a bit fast for a souls-like game.

Why the hell is Activision publishing this?

 

[Desmond]

Anyone up to try this?

 

[Nerevarine]

Can a GTX 1080 achieve 4k60 ?

 

[Desmond]

I am not sure, but at least 1080p 60 FPS should be possible. The framerate used to be very bad for Demon Souls, but looks like now it's fixed.

looks like PS3 exclusive

I haven't played any PS3 game so yeah, eager to start via rpcs3.

Yeah, the game was released in 2009. Here it is running on emulator.

I played this before, but the framerate is very stuttery at times, mostly due to shader compilation. So, mostly unplayable. But looks like after this latest patch to RPCS3 the gameplay has become stable.

There are many PS3 exclusive titles you can try on emulator with excellent FPS and completion rate

 

[Desmond]

Demon Souls and Bloodborne are on my bucket list. Thinking of getting a second hand PS4 just to play Bloodborne.
