Praise be to Durante!
Dark Souls is the worst PC port I ever played.

Well the options menus of Ninja Blade suffer from Engrish or silly mistakes so certainly Japanese people did the port.

You have not obviously played Saints Row 2 or DMC 3. Those are pos ports.

Those game actually played fine for me, but that was a long time ago.

what are you trying to prove? because no one cares. Just download the fix and have fun.
This. DSFix makes the game amazing, it's an awesome experience. The game really is unique and DSFix makes it shine.
Yes it won't effect the online.
There is a mod you can install that will make it significantly easier for GFWL to connect with your friends.

If the game can't work outside the box, fuck that I'm just going to uninstall the game and put in my crap category on steam and forget about that POS.

Maybe you should return your PC to the BestBuy you bought it from while you're at it.

Translated foreign interview.
It was ported by a Euro company I believe.

If I recall correctly, it was a russian studio who did the PC port. ND Games namely.

your loss, the game is gorgeous in 1080p/60fps. All you need to do is download and patch the game which would take you 5 minutes
I'll use this moment to say that I love you, Durante-sama.
Sad that the game requires DSFix, but at least it fixes it to really take advantage of the power of the PC.
edit: Woah now OP, don't go away so quickly now - it's a great game, and a stupid easy fix! Just 'cause the team in charge of the port sucked at their job, doesn't mean you outta go and throw it all out the window.

What I'm reading on some different places on the internet says that a developer called ND Games did the PC port of Ninja Blade.

I do unterstand that position. However, Dark Souls is an amazing game and there is a fix for it. You are missing out of something special. IN this case you should just use the fix, really.
That seems counter productive.
The port is shit. No one can deny that. However, they already have your money. Might as well make as much of it as possible. That or get a refund. If you don't play then they get your money and support for nothing.
The fact that they didn't know how to port doesn't make it ok at all. Imagine if any company in any other sector did the same? It wouldn't be on.

Dude, why? There are times when having that strong of a conviction in life is necessary. This is not one of those times. It will literally take you a few minutes to install the fix.
Open your pc case, pour water in it until it fills up, preferably while it's running.

Ok. You are literally the only person missing out by doing this. The developers already have your money, you might as well enjoy the game. If they don't have your money and you still have the game, then who cares what you think, fuck you.
Poorly.

Durante did it in less than a day right? I'm puzzled as to why they simply didn't purchase his code and distribute it freely with darksouls.

So there wasn't an official announcement just a translated interview that might be wrong.
Yeah, I'm staying far away from anything that FROM makes.

They published it. If they ported it too, I haven't come across such info.

No the interview cannot "be wrong".
And what do you mean no official announcement? It IS an official announcement. What did you expect? As far as I know no company ever announces on their official site or something which system is the lead, this kind of stuff you learn from interviews.
Because officially supporting something implies, well, support costs. By not officially supporting the mod they can offload the support costs onto the community while still enjoying the sales from the people who bought it because the mod exists.
(I preordered the game and thoroughly enjoyed it.)
Well, even without DSFix you can play Blighttown at locked 30fps.

If I remember correctly, he was so shocked that they would lock the render resolution of a D3D game that he had a fix framework created before the game launched and it worked almost immediately.

The hyperbole in this thread is unbelievable. The game is completely playable in every way "straight out of the box". DSfix does two important things, vastly improves the IQ of the game and allows for more then 30 FPS that's it. The PC version was still superior to the console versions even without the fix.
I believe they also mentioned it a couple times during gameplay demos.

Does no one remember From Software literally stating, "Hey guys, just so you know we really don't know what the fuck we're doing with this, so it's gonna be pretty barebones, mkay?"
And DSfix is amazing.

He has really embraced his role.
Eh, I tried that mouse fix mod, the game still plays like shit with a keyboard. There's no in game UI for mouse and keyboard, menus are still annoying to navigate, and the game still controls worse than a controller. I feel like moving the mouse should turn your character to be intuitive but it doesn't. It just turns the camera, meaning you can only really move in 8 directions. Kinda terrible.

Ah, cool.

Is there a GAF page which GFWL usernames for Dark Souls?
Watch out guyz we got a mutha fuckin bad azz right here.

Yep. And we were still baffled because we simply couldn't believe they actually meant it.
But thank god for Durante.
This thread should probably earn this guy a forum tag.
Or this juvenile post right here
Sounds like a child who didn't get the candy they wanted, screaming and crying in the middle of a shopping mall.

That depends on your PC. The game can't run at a solid 30fps (I get framedrops here and there) on my HD5850/Phenom x4 955 regardless of which settings I choose.

I have no problem with GFWL.
