Hey guys Salam(means peace) to all
I was really excited about Dark souls on pc because finally a game had arrived that involved killing monsters and even bigger and badder ones as u went along, but after the first 15 min of game play I found disappointing . the buttons were a mess and the pregame cinematic was just ....boring..
did any of u guys think so to? or is it just me?
does anyone know if the game gets better cuz im afraid it'll make me cynical if a play more

Obviously, the only logical thing after 15 minutes of playing a game is to post about your impressions, instead of playing more.
Dude, keep playing the game.

The one and only thing to be improved in Dark Souls is a graphic. Everybody knew that graphic in this game won't be amazing because it's already two years or so on consoles. As Pemptus said, stop bitching about the game and try to play some more (it gets better every minute you play) or change the class (I've started with rogue or thief and I didn't like the way this class fights so I've created another character with warrior class and it was awesome.

Ve aleykum selam. The game is a bad console port, and the game istself is a bit diffucult for casual gamers. I played it for a few hours but it was tiring to get used to it

Get a X360 controller, install the graphical fixes, and enjoy your game tenfold

It's a fantastic game once you get past the minor annoyance of poor keyboard controls (Just grab any DirectX Input capable controller such as a Wired 360 controller), some rendering problem's (Install DSFix from here) and the badly designed inventory system. Great combat and a fantastically rich and beautiful world make's this one of my favorite RPG's of the last few years. I hope we see the next 'Souls' game brought to PC next time along side the console releases and with more native support.

Fifteen minutes isn't enough time to judge a game.

But yeah, it was disappointing. Everyone made it sound like a challenging game when in reality it's just trial and error.

It's not that FromSoftware was lazy, it was their first try on making a game for PC and they said that it would be far from perfect and that the console bugs and issues would still be there. They said that they'd give PC a try and see what happens.

Besides, the modding community has been great and have fixed a ton of problems.

I can't believe that some persons still believe this bullshit.
The resolution and a lot of other issues were fixed by a single guy in a few hour's time, so don't tell me that a team of developers, as terrible as may be, weren't able to fix or implement that in the allocated timeframe...

The developers weren't lazy, they didn't get any money to make the port better. They made the port, becouse of all of the petitions for it, but the publisher didn't give them a lot of money so they could only port it. If you want to blame anyone, blame the Publisher not the developers.

I haven't tried the PC version, but the PS3 one is nothing short of amazing. Give it a litte time.

15 minutes is not near enough to experience the True Dark Souls. Trust me :)

The pc version has its issues. Using the res and mouse fix you can happily play it without issues.
Even in its broken state, I dont care, one of the best games iv played.

I played the game for... about 10 hours and still found it rather... boring, to be frank. I didn't find the world very engaging, the combat felt too stiff and it just annoyed me in the end.

If you played on PC, thats because PC port has horrendous lags on input, making game really boring, cause you're just supposed to block everything and wait for opportunity to strike. On consoles you could parry/dodge instantly and co,mbat was ultra dynamic and ultra fun, but on PC if you try to play such a fun way you will simply die because of lagg, so you start to fight the boring way.. :/ Shame on developers, as they killed my fav PS3 game so far, and I cannot play it on PC :(

Played Dark Souls on our PS3 (we share apartament and split money to buy games) and totally loved it! Ok - game was ultra hard, we were dying nearly all the time, but it was great fun to play in group of hardcore gamers, commenting, switching etc... So... if your problem is game difficulty, then you are simply a noob and should go play SIMS or other WoW ;P

BUT....

PC port sucks ass!! Played it a while ago in friends house (he doesn't have PS3 nor X360, so he really was hyped for this game, bought it on launch) and it was TERRIBLE!! First - game is UNPLAYABLE on keyboard and mouse, mouse sensitivity changes itself during play, key bindings are shit, and you cannot bind multiple actions to one key like it's in console version so you end having to use half of your freaking keyboard!! And what's even worse when we plugged in X360 controller it was still bad as hell! Responses are just to slow, you block and response happens 0.5secs later... In game like DS it means instant death! Not to talk about textures, which are taken from PS3/360, on higher ressolutions PC looks like 10 years ago, yet game's still lagging!

So summa summarum - DS is really a decent game, I've spent like 60+ hours playing it and had great time, but PC port is worse than horrible, so I can imagine why some people throw sh*t on this game...

No, not disappointing. It's not about story and cinematics, so if you bought it for that, that's your problem. The buttons are great if you're using an Xbox 360 controller.

thanks for the graphic fix :) will surely try it :)

but about controller - didn't you find iit a bit laggy? I played DS on PS3 and PC as well (using 360 controller), and while I totally enjoed it on PS3, on PC controller was so laggy I just hided behind shield waiting for opportunity to strike, as every move i tried to pull ended up in being hit :/

That doesn't make any sense unless the game runs worse on your PC than on PS3...
That may be because you didn't use the fix though because the game runs better with it.
You may also try the 60fps mod which is included with this fix to reduce input lag even more, but you will need a beast of a PC to run the game with it however.

heh, my problem is i kinda runs beast of PC ;P (i5 2500k, 16GB RAM 1666MHZ, 2x PowerColor HD 6850 with CFX), I play everything as now on highest details, yet still got input lags with DarkSouls :/ Maybe it's because I use ATI GPU - most reviewers I've read/watched used NVidias, maybe your fix will fix that ;) Anyway thanks for the tip ;) Cause I really loved this game, and if it helps I can enjoy it also on my PC ^^
