high adaptability is also a core attribute of the PC master race.

If it's a PC game that received a shitty port to a console and doesn't work, are you fucked or can you fix it yourself?

Generally everything is ported from consoles to PCs. New consoles are essentially glorified PCs, anyways.

My point was not to say the PC version was worse than the PS3 version. Wait, yes it was. The port was absolutely fucking horrible. It was fixed by modders who did a great job, but my simple issue that I'm either not presenting properly or people are missing is I should not have to disable half my USB items and use GWFL to play a game.

Let me rephrase to simplify: PORT SUCKED. YES, PCs > CONSOLES BUT THE PORT NEEDS TO BE BETTER FOR DS2. FROM HAS ADMITTED IT.

If you really want to make me happy, make a Linux port. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck GFWL.

No purpose as far as I could tell, except to take away parry in order to balance how ridiculously good great shields were at blocking.

I really wish I had known how strong Parry was my first playthrough. It's one of those things I didn't get until I actually read up on the game after beating it the first time through by doing the tank thing to every boss...

GWFL is dead and why did you have to disable USB devices? that's the first time I'm hearing about that.

My 360 Controller wouldn't work without it. That really was my biggest pet peeve in that I couldn't get into playing it with a keyboard and mouse. I circumvented it using a glovePIE script, but it was meh. I finally found the fix on a board where the code had issues and to disable USB devices to get it to work. To this day if I want to use my 360 controller I have to disable my n52 and G15.

Really going to try and hold off for the PC version, but have a feeling I will end up buying them both. Fuckin BS.

While I prefer kb/m to a controller in most cases, I've been thinking for a while that the keyboard really needs a replacement for gaming. It was never intended to be used as such, and while it gets the job done, it's becoming clearer every day that we need something new. And I'm surprised it's taking so damn long.

Yep, mouse is obviously vastly superior to the right stick for fine camera aiming, but the left stick is easily just as superior to ESDF for movement. In any game where fine aiming is never required, I just use my DS3.

Optimal aiming: mouse, because you're specifying a position and that's what mice do.
Optimal holonomic movement: joystick, because you're specifying a velocity and that's what joysticks do.

It's too bad that this type of device:


Never caught on, because that allows for a joystick + a keyboard. Virtually all games I've played the best you can do is bind the joystick to WASD and you have a very poor emulated WASD control.

In addition to that, using an oculus rift type HMD in a game that allows you to detach your head movement from your crosshairs would be amazing.

For FPS or MMOs, I agree wholeheartedly. However, combat in Dark Souls to me <my opinion solely> with it's slow nature and no need for quick turns really played far better on a 360 controller. I can parry at will with the 360 controller. No can do with KB/Mouse.

Before DS I'd never played any RPG with a controller, and really solely used my 360 on my PC for racing games and flight sims when I didn't want to break out my flight sim gear. The game just plays so much nicer for me with the 360 controller.

I'd prefer a handheld device like the Wii controller's nunchuk with the joystick and some more buttons, maybe the d-pad there too. I'd program the rest to my mouse.

Have you tried rebinding parry? It's on mouse4 for me.

The only thing I want is the Demon Souls bosses back. Dark Souls had incredible bosses, but Demon's were just much better. Old Monk fight was literally one of my favorites in any game.

One silver lining to my car accident is that her bro delayed our trip for the aches and pains to be 100% gone - so I no longer have the same conflict. But I feel for you. (And honestly a trip 9 days into DS2 for a week might actually be more painful in some ways - all that early learning lost...)

Maybe I'm retarded but is there a way to get release day shipping on this from Amazon? I thought they used to do that.

Seems bugged recently with preorders that it won't give a definite date on when you order it - just adjust the shipping time to something else then back to 2 day and it updates correctly.

Doesn't sound like that to me. It says "increasesdifficultyof enemies" so I would assume more hp/damage, maybe more aggressive too. I remember from a vid, that the devs made an announcement during the network test that they were going to make enemies tougher (somehow did it on the fly during the test) and the guy said it increased aggro range among other things. Probably the same effect.

I can confirmed that they increased difficulty on the fly... Those big fat guys with the chains or meatcleavers or whatever turned into instant assrape for me before I got used to it.
