I actually agree with him. That low resolution might as well be a game breaking bug as far as I'm concerned. It's unacceptable to me, but thankfully Durante resolved it.

I am absolutely ecstatic right now.
FUCKING HELL. This is insane.
Durante has singlehandedly saved Dark Souls for the PC community. If nothing weird pops up, and messages and icons get fixed....this patch will go down in history.
I'm sorry, have you seen this shit?

It's so unacceptably disgusting and it looks even worse in motion.
I'm running the game at 3840*2160, which the game downscales to 1920*1080. Better than AA.
The texture details are incredible with this level of SSAA.
Didn't think of it!
Will try it right away, probably will run like crap. Still disagree. That's on the same tier as being a graphics whore as far as I'm concerned. Unless it looks like complete shit (which it doesn't seem to. A friend said it looked like a PS3 game without Durante's patch) to the point where you literally cannot tell what is going on, or you can count the pixels on screen, I highly doubt it is unplayable.

Wow that looks god Damned incredible. Staggering even.
Don't forget to zoom in people.
Didn't think of it!
On my GTX 680 it's fine so far, but it does drop to 15fps when I save at a Bonfire, just like on the PS3. Could be bad news for Blighttown. We'll see.

I would almost call it unplayable without the patch.
But this shit looks amazing (took it myself):
I approve of Pyromancers, but come on, where's my Sorcerers at?
It looks like the PS360 game on a higher resolution display. It just looks worse because you're most likely closer to your monitor than you would be to your TV.
Clearly it was acceptable enough for hundreds of thousands of people to play on consoles. I know the fix is amazing and makes it much, much better, but the kind of hyperbole like "looks like a PSX game" just makes you guys look silly.
My GPU isn't OC, my i5 is OC to 4.5Ghz. Could this cause problems?
Almost want to see what 5120x3200 does
PC users sitting close to monitors, what is the world coming to.
And it doesn't look like a PSX game. It looks like the old Blade Runner game.

How about PS2 with extra sheen, but is saved by the art direction.

So how do you reverse hallow, I have 4 humanity and it wont let me at the bonfire, says I have no humanity.

Awww for reals ? :/
That's bullshit. You're saying playing on consoles with 50" TVs are unplayable then.
Use the humanity, it will get added to the counter at the top left.

Okay, now I tried it with a dual shock 3 with motioninjoy and it works fine.
I was planning on playing with a DS3 anyway because that's what i'm used to for this game...was only messing with the 360 pad because it was plugged in and I was lazy. Don't know why the hell it does that on the 360 controller and not the ps3 pad, considering i'm just using 360 controller emulation through MIJ anyway.
You need to "use" the humanity items first. Just equip it into an item slot and use it. The humanity counter is in the upper left.

I'm in agreement here. There is no doubt this is a shit port, but saying it is near unplayable without a resolution fix? If it looks like a PS360 game I don't see how that is unplayable. I'm very well aware PC users have higher standards, that's fine, but PS360 is nowhere near unplayable. Unless you're getting a shit frame rate, I don't think it would be unplayable.

Well, it comes down to a person preference thing. I'll fully admit I'm a graphics whore when it comes to 3D and have a very low tolerance for low resolutions.
For me? Just about. It's one of the reasons I very, very rarely ever play on consoles anymore.
Eh doesn't that just show Darksiders 2 and Sleeping Dogs?So there are currently more than 8000 people playing the game...
This is pretty impressive, especially considering the bad word of mouth before release and the fact that it's a late port.
Ah that makes more sense, missing link was Steam stats page.
The point is that Dark Souls is doing better than those 2 games in concurrent Steam users, potentially indicating that it sold better.

What in the flying fuck, my DS key that I'm trying to input is not complete, it's missing the last two characters. Can't sign into GFWL? Any ideas.
Edit: Never mind, I'm a fucking moron

Yep, it's to compare with two other big recent releases which incidentally have good PC ports from the get go (well, Sleeping Dogs does). I saw that picture earlier today so I didn't bother updating it

Darksiders 2 is a pretty shoddy port from what I gather.
Here's 3 shots in 2560x1600, with 5120x3200 used in the DSfix.ini

I'm so close to being sold. I just want to hear more about Blighttown and to see if Durante is able to fix that text problem.
I don't think it's that it is unoptimised. It's just the spikes that exist wouldn't be noticeable as much on a PS3 or Xbox 360.
I'm running a 7950on a 2700k OCed to 4.5 Ghz off a Vertex 3 SDD and I am running into erratic frame-rates as well. Hopefully they will release a patch, but it certainly doesn't get into the way of gameplay.
I'm amazed by how much better the textures are than I expected (with the proper High-Res patch at 2560x1440). I thought they were gonna be splotchy, jpeg artifact messes, but they are surprisingly clear.

Meh, other than having no graphical options it runs well and looks amazing.
a by product of playing the game, its pixelating my avatar
That's utterly hilarious.
Alt F4 to shut down the game in main menu. Happened only once, but still :/
So where are your savegames so I can tell GSM to back them up?

That is STUNNING to say the least. I will say though that if people thought the modders on the 360 were bad, just wait. It is more accessible on the PC and will get MUCH worse. And one of the best parts is the online interactions. Being invaded and one shoted while not human sounds like unfun ridiculousness.
And sounds like a lot of people are having startup issues. It is why I like my console games... very few startup worries thanks to standard hardware across the board.
Regardless glad to see those who are playing are enjoying it. Can't wait to play the DLC on the 360.
