Wow I'm shocked at how easy this is going to be to cheat on. Ugh.
What's the update on Durante's fix, I've been out and lost track of progress?

How does playing offline make it easier / harder? It just cuts you off from the other players' messages, summons and ghosts, and the messages don't make it easier at all, just way more enjoyable.
Fuck that, first thing I did was haul ass through the graveyard only to find a

The online implementation is cool, but hardly that important, to me anyway. I'd have no issue playing without it.
Hell, the initial Dark Souls release was really busted online anyway.
How about let people do what they want? I had lots of fun getting tips from veteran players.

I hear you like your graphics with locked frame buffers bro!
I advocate this in every situation but the start, where too many people somehow take the non-beginner routes and become soured on the game.
stop ruining my fun
Fair enough, but I think in general people should follow the floor clues
I got lucky I guess because I never went to those places in the beginning.

its been on the step 1 of 2 of that directx thing for like 3 minutes go faster damnit
Haha yeah, Durante rocks
Also just logged in to GMG for the first time in quite a while to find out I have $5 of credit I totally forgot about. With that plus the DERHE-RRDER-RINGE 20% code, Dark Souls comes out to $27. Not too shabby
Crashes on startup for you too?

Well, let's remember Windows 8 isn't even fully released yet.

The easiest way to get through the game is to summon some players to help you through a section or a boss. If you have to do it/figure it out yourself it is much harder.
Durante - you rawk, dude
Can everyone please remove the spoiler from your quotes?
PLS?
And new players, talk to everyone you are able to until you get them to repeat themselves 3 times in a row. Pay attention to what they say and you will never have to look at a walkthrough.

Yup. Easy fix though. Just find the game .exe in your steamapps folder and use Windows 7 compatibility mode. Works like a shame... Like a mushy charm.
I just noticed that the game still shows 41 achievements, meaning they didn't add any extra ones for the new content.
Lame. I've never played the game before, but it would be cool for people who have already beaten the game to have new achievements to get.
I got it for $20 after credits. Praise GMG!

First timers: Just play the game and explore for yourself. That is the only advice you'll need. If you get frustrated to the point where you wanna break stuff, you might wanna consider doing some reading.
Go to the exe files in your steamapps folder and set the compatibility mode to Windows 7. That'll fix it.

I'm going to have to load this up again on the 360. I had a terrible build and I kept on getting invaded and one shot by people. Never finished it.
Have fun everyone!
Have fun everyone!
I lie! Games for Windows Live doesn't boot... so you're stuck in offline mode.
Does GFWL even work on Windows 8?
Shit, now I'm having the same issues. Can't use my controller either.

I'm going to try manually download and install GFWL, see if this works. Give me a few to try it.

It works fine on Windows 8... On my end.
*I think I may be running an earlier version of the client, I can't remember. I'll check in a minute when I switch on my gaming rig.
Its in the description of the item. I'm giving my opinion on the item.
I just tried that. Signed in and everything. Didn't work.
Are you on the RTM or the Consumer Preview? I'm on the preview.

Damn it feel sso amazing to play this on PC.
Have to wait a bit until I can this evening, though. I'll keep an eye on the thread for updates on certain things. Enjoy everyone.
(I tend to agree, let folks experience it first-hand, no hints for now. But proceed however you wish)

If you truly need help, don't spoil it for everyone else. Follow the soapstone clues and when it doubt, summon friends.
Yeah, not working here either. And I'm also using the CP.
