Don't get me wrong here, I really do like Dark Souls, I even play it on the PC but without the help of some mods it almost isn't playable for me. The console version is fine as it is.Dark Souls is an extremely polished game. It does suffer from a technical standpoint (limited PC options, etc), which they've already mentioned prior to making the port.
Also them mentioning it beforehand doesn't make it more polished.
Quote:In addition to that, it was the first time they created a game for the PC. I don't see how it isn't playable without mods. The game runs perfectly fine without any mod.
It almost isn't playable for me in its original state because:
- The mouse cursor is constantly visible even though it serves no purpose during gameplay, which is extremely irritating
- The resolution is limited to a crappy console level, which looks awkward on a decent PC monitor.
- There is no AA which makes the above point even worse
- The framerate is locked at 30 (okay, that isn't THAT bad)
- It had some weird sound issues (though some patch seems to have fixed that
- A lack of options in general
I'm sure I forgot something, but those are the main points why I think the PC port is NOT polished. Though it's not the worst PC port I know of^^
Just to reiterate, I really like Dark Souls, but without mods like DSfix the PC version is kinda crappy.
