We have already seen 60 FPS footage, so we know they are targeting that framerate.

The former two souls games alrerady do tho, they make up 50% of total sales across all platforms.

I am experiencing serious issues with Tales from the Borderlands. Game stutters from the very beginning (even the cursor in the menus lags), it goes from 200+ fps to 1 (!) fps constantly.
I have tried to disable g-sync and forced v-sync but nothing. I have windows 10. Am i the only one?

I understand.
Ni-Oh hasn't been confirmed yet. It was announced as a 'console exclusive' at the PSX event, which is indicative of games that are coming to PC as well, but there was some contradictory information out there as well.
You're probably right though. Even if the game does come to PC, the port will likely be circumspect due to KT's involvement.
Souls have feelings too D':
Ba-baka!
E: for what's worth their 0-5 bar thing is worthless, got a match against someone with 4 bars and had worse lag than a cross the atlantic connection. And on the lounges sometimes you'll get better games against 1 bar than against 3 bars.
<3 Silence, Rashido.
Yeah, it's literally useless. Was playing an AndroidGAF person the other day, guy's in Florida. 4-5 bars, endless lag. But I dunno. One day, some day. You'd think, like rai's mentioned before, they'd give us a ping and frames stat instead.

Just to play Devil's advocate here for a second.
According to a lot of people on the internet, which you seem to equate to truth at times, Dark Souls port was one of the worst to ever grace the platform.
Dark Souls II had "downgrade-gate" over the footage shown vs. what was delivered to all platforms, most notably on PS3/x360. PC still looked very good, but from what I recall, it never matched the original shown footage. And prior to SotFS (DX11), I think the game defaulted to 30fps on PC and had to be modded to 60fps (though not dificult) which lead to issues with weapon durability.
Speaking of Dark Souls II SotFS: on PS4 it seemed to me, at times, to have some framerate issues. They weren't prevalent through my experience, but there were a handful of times when everything was off.
Dark Souls III is probably trying to push the limits of the PS4/X1 to look and be a Dark Souls for the new console generation and is going to be locked at 30fps. Knowing FROM's previous tendency to push consoles and end up with areas like world 5 in Demon's Souls, Blighttown in Dark Souls, etc., who knows how constant that 30fps on consoles is going to be...
Now the Dark Souls PTDE port left a lot of people bitching about the game they begged for, but it did solve a lot of the framerate issues PS3/x360 had while staying locked at 30fps. So while I actually agree with you that there's no reason to hit the panic button regarding the PC port of DS3, I wouldn't be surprised if there's something "wrong" considering the history outlined above.
Considering that KT seems to be starting to take an interest in PC as a viable platform and putting more effort into their ports as we get new releases from them, it's quite possible that Ni-Oh, should it come to PC, may actually be a decent port. Arslan was a step in the right direction and there's buzz about internal changes at KT regarding PC ports and we know more are coming as well, so there's no reason to believe it's going to be garbage quit yet. Is there a chance it will be? Sure. Is there a chance it won't be? Sure. Either way, at this point, we don't even know it's coming to PC, so assuming that it's going to be a "circumspect" port is pointless from my POV.
any of you actually played those sniper ghost warrior games? I feel like I haven't seen a single person talk about that series on gaf but they sell really good
edit: i guess not!
it's like a dollar 70 here for 3 games, or 2, whatever

Just watched the Nioh Walk Through (TGS 2015)
It looks even more like a Souls game, haha. Not that I complain (^_^)
Seeing enemy's stamina bar is an interesting change.
Koei-Tecmo should spell good news for a PC port. Let's see how and when.

I hope it's good, more interested in that than DS3 at the moment.

You're right -- I'm probably partially mixed up on that because of the weapon durability issue that took them forever to resolve (and it was present in SotFS too).
I mean, hell, you have people talking about it being better to lock the framerate to 30fps in order to prevent the issue:
http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/dar...-first-sin-686257/still-avoid-60-fps-1769860/
I probably forgot that it was like that from the start on PC since the bug showed up again in SotFS (and on all platforms) which is why you see a lot about the issue from 2015 when you search.

I still don't understand people complaining about this one. I played Souls 2 from start to finish and never once broke my weapons.

It took so long that I honestly thought it was a feature.
And I particularly liked that feature. In most Souls games, and especially in Bloodborne, I have a tendency to lock into a weapon and rarely change. The quick degradation forced me out of that.

Nice blanket statement yoshi-kun.
So they made it better?
._.
It was an exceedingly minor issue that rarely effected players.
I mean then I will pick up SFV again as well.
I won't abandon you leafy
Not until you finally get arrested anyway.

Messy please.
Where is this coming from? Dark Souls 2 defaulted to and ran at variable framerates up to 60 FPS on PC day one. (Day -3 actually, when I looked at the press build)
It was and is a great PC version.
Arrested by who? The L.A.P.D?
That's Lewd Animu Police Department if you're wondering.

Surprised they haven't shown Alex yet.
Very well optimized too. My shitty laptop was getting 50-60fps with medium settings

ESO maybe? I've never been big on MMOs, but I've been playing ESO a lot since you can basically play it as a single-player game. Also because I've always liked Elder Scrolls games. FWIW though, the only MMOs I've played at length were DCUO and ESO.
Is that why Milamber disappeared?

Seriously, all because they took offense that news was repeated. SteamGAF needs its ambassador back.
The turn around From made was a complete polar opposite to their first release.
You would hope KT/Square would take notes, instead of the one step forward, two back we've been getting.
Lashman needs to start naming names and calling these people out, either publicly or through the moderation staff. Treating someone else negatively and sending them harassing messages should be chastised.
Not to mention that he was a very helpful member of the community.
Tide you over? You insult BlazBlue with such vulgar statements.

Some of the weapons are fragile as hell though.
There's a whip I can't even use because it breaks after killing 5 enemies.
you're probably the first person who understand rhaknar here
i stayed up late last night cos this friend of mine threw up on my floor and passed out on my bed and had to goof around for a few hours outside my bedroom until the smell went away
and i had to wake up early cos she had to leave -__-
