Because for $13 is a steal.

Dark Souls is one of the worst PC ports in history. It's fucking laggy as hell, and you're fucked if you don't have a XBOX 360 controller. (Which you have)

My Windows XP pc runs this game faster than on my Windows 7 PC

I was getting fed up with all the mediocre and monetized or dumbed down games coming out, but when Dark Souls got ported it reminded why I love gaming.

It's like a mix of Monster Hunter, Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, then it's own unique take with the online aspect.
Went straight to my top 3 games.

Just make sure to get DSFix

Like getting ass raped?
Then this game is for you!

Because

• the gameplay is challenging, in a good way. Fights are really hard until you learn how to best deal with the specific enemy, after which it's a lot less hard, but every little goon can still wipe you out if you f*ck up. Victories are a lot more rewarding when they're fraught with danger ^^
• the setting is awesome - it's bleak, it's depressing, yet so much beauty shines through that I found myself pushing forward just to make that world a slightly better place again.
• the story is not served to you on a platter with sprinkles on top, you have to piece it together as you go along. That enables you to experience the story on a much more intimate level, and exploration isn't just about getting better gear and leveling up, but it's also about figuring out what led to the world being as bleak as it is.

DSFix
DSMFix

Two reasons to play the port right there.
DSFix sorts out the PC version, fixing resolutions and just about all other video issues (no FPS drops etc, better textures).
The mouse fix is not as well known as the original but it fixes everything right up control/mouse wise.

Because Dark Souls is nothing like you ever played before and not playing Dark Souls means that you will miss a rare gem in the history of gaming (except of course if you already played Demon Souls before). The game try it best to give you the feeling like you're the chosen undead in Lordran - there's no pause button and you're free to roam anywhere you want.

The combat is solid. There's ton of weapons to try, all with its unique move sets. There's no true class in Dark Souls, you can develop your character anyway you want. The boss fight is challenging. The dragons in Dark Souls is true dragon. If you're up to challenge, this game is for you. If you hate dying a lot, this game is for you.

Because it's the worst PC port in ages

(but we have mods)

you don't "need" to buy Dark Souls.

You don't need to own Dark Souls.

the game doesn't lag for me but it is still a godawful pc port due to controls and the online play system.

"You are all awesome" oh stop it you :P

cause your momma said so.

From what I saw look nice...to bad its not available in my country..

The game is really awesome. I give it GOTY 2012. Why? Because it's not crap like CoD or something like that - it's actually really fun and hard game!

Dark Souls is great, you'll have a hard start for sure, but it will work out sooner or later.

But keep in mind that DS is not a game for everyone.

Can I ask a question in someone else's thread?
If so: I'm also considering to buy Dark Souls, I wanted to ask whether my laptop would be able to run it on medium setting. It's an Acer Aspire 5750G.
If not: forget I asked :)

because all the key can register on steam ,i prefer to buy it from a russia shop(10usd or lower)

but i mind gfwl

Because it's the best RPG you'll find on Steam, I can't tell you why, but I thinks it's even better than Skyrim. The lore is great, the gameplay is epic, the world is great, everything is great.

Because it's an RPG that has great gameplay, deep lore (which you actually have to look for) and is completely open to all manner of challenge runs (e.g. boxer [fist weapons only, no shield], Level 1, no kindling, no summons, bows only... )
