Dark Souls & Other Souls-Likes

whose getting it for pc and whose getting it for ps3?

i should probably make a decision on which to buy lol

I'm getting it on PC if they will ever release the god damn collector's edition for pre-order.

Or any of it for PC for that matter.

I'm getting it for PC but it's getting released April+ for PC which means March -> April will be a super tough month and may even tempt me to get PS3 version as well :(

I'd prefer to get it for PC but since I'm always logged in to ffxiv on my pc that would be a problem so probably will get it for PS3.

I'll get both (but PS3 first)

People all worried cause Dark Souls II is receiving a T rating instead of the M Dark Souls I received.

Just probably means there aren't characters like Quelaag or Gwynevere, the violence was the same, if not more brutal than the original during the beta.

It got rated T, really? That is pretty weird, but its not like there is a lot of blood in this series, which is also pretty weird when you think about it.

Try using spoiler tags >_<

Are we counting Demon souls as part of the series? because the tower of latria says hi if we are XD

Dark Souls was indeed pretty minimal on the blood though... Now that I think of it was there any time when there was much blood?

Aside from the bleed out animations and the Elevator Trap in Sen's Fortress? Nope.

spoilered for..well..spoilers

Priscilla trying to be a scary dragon so she can protect her cuddly forest friends from meanies.

Started Demon's Souls up again yesterday, after having it for years and only played it for about 20 minutes when I got it.

Played all day, did surprisingly well, only died once, and that was on the Armor Spider boss. I managed to down Phalanx, Tower Knight, Armor Spider, and Flamelurker.

Playing as a Royal, only upgrading my starter gear (Rapier +6 and Buckler +6 currently) until I hit 40 Endurance for the Old King's Armor, which I read is one of the best sets in the game. Also aiming for the Crescent Rapier for the extra MP Regen to stack with the Fragrant Ring I started with.

Pretty proud of myself right now xD


Any tips anyone can offer about anything for a relative newcomer to the game? Builds, armor, weapons, suggested spells/miracles, etc?

Okay all of you dark souls fanatics.

What system is everyone getting dark souls 2 on?

About to preorder either the 360 or PS3 version.

Want to get it on the system with the most jolly cooperation possible.

Getting it on PC as well when it comes out but I want a collectors edition and am scared of PC not getting one.

PS3 would be your best bet for any souls game, since that's where the "crowd" is since Demon's Souls was the ps3 exclusive and most of the community stayed on the platform.

PC might be okay when it finally gets released, but that depends greatly on how exploitive hackers can be.

PS3, I agree! I still need to get a copy of Demon Souls.

I'm gonna be on PS3 and probably PC eventually.

So umm been seeing people play Dark Souls and it has gained my interest, as someone who likes to get trophies would it be a good game to get on PS3 or is it one of those where you just have to play it on PC?

I like PC mainly because of all the mods that you can have. I imagine DS2 will have just as many as well. I wouldn't play Dark Souls as much as I do on PC if I had to play it vanilla.

Hackers don't really bother me. What others want to do with their game is their business. If I get invaded by one, I'll just alt+f4.



The PC version has achievements through the greatness that is GFWL. So if you have a 360 too, then you can simply log in to your 360 account and gain the points there.

I would highly recommend PC version over any of the other versions simply for the sake of DSFix existing. That mod alone makes it better than any of the console versions. Not to mention all the high resolution texture mods, and other various graphical enhancement mods. Like fixing the trees on the way to Sen's Fortress. Being able to actually see enemy HP bars as well. The number of enhancements are countless.

The greatest part of DSFix is the fact that the game is no longer tied to a pathetic 30fps. Can actually make it 60fps (can go higher, but the game becomes unstable).

No one is arguing the PC version is superior in quality or enhancing through modding, but the souls community was popularized on PS3, and is where most of the community remains to this day. That doesn't mean there is no reason to go to other platforms like PC, which offers plenty of benefits on it's own.

Each platform is acceptable to be on, though xbox you'll find to have more hackers than PS3 does, and you'll also have to deal with a "weaker" community than you'd find on PS3 or even PC.

I really enjoyed the ps3 version and i've got the PC version, but I still prefer to just play it on ps3.
I logged so much time on the ps3 version and got used to the framerate (for better or worse in some spots) that the pc version just felt extremely awkward in a way.

All that being said i'm going to get DS2 on ps3.

Looks like I might have quite a few people to prey on play with!

I love the difficulty of DS and looking forward to DS2, but i'm about as friendly as a crystal lizard when it comes to pvp usually :P lol
