You forgot capslock.
could just be a translation thing. I doubt there wont be a discount for owning the old version. but hey,
Does this mean that the DX9 version will be removed from the store?
rosie's kind of a bitch, but she looks the best in a swimsuit

You're just trying to get JaseC to spend all his winter money.
I like the way you think.
My capslock is broken.
By the by, someone recommend me a good wireless keyboard. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just a keyboard with like volume controls would be nice. Also is Bluetooth signal range better/worse than what regular wireless stuff? Something about my computing area makes the wireless range really short.

This is exactly why you should never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game.
It'll always be worth the wait for a price drop.
And don't forget the , either.

I was one of the "lucky" few who got it during that special Humble Bundle package. Can't even launch the game on my rig. Finally decided that I was better off not playing it at all, then heard mixed reviews over the last couple months.
I think my decision was justified.

Well, it's pretty obvious that what they mean about not being able to upgrade it's that you can't transform you DirectX9 copy to a DirectX11 copy.It's basically a different game, so it can't really be upgraded. There will be a discount for previous owners I'm sure, but you are not upgrading, you are effectly getting a new entry.

Literally, I got sick of the game on PS3 courtesy of going for A ranks every mission. To get the A ranks you had to be reloading all the time because you have to get perfect shots from really far away and hope it hits(reload till it does).

Well, considering that I'm not buying games new anyway, and usually wait until there's a deep discount before I buy anything (with keys or otherwise), this doesn't affect me too much. Might make it more inconvenient to get some of the regionally-cheaper games during sales, but I think I can live with that, at least for now.
I got angry reading through the replies. Some of the replies in that topic are downright venomous.
I already lost my save
I agree, but people are already assuming that it means youll have to pay full price either way
sounds unfun
yeah that sounds terribleBy destroying their entertainment of the game.

fortunately i don't care too much about ratings and such
i wouldn't really mind starting over tbhI already lost my save
i wanna try pyromancies and maybe dual weilding
already beaten this game enough times to be able to plow through it in a weekend or something
Nah. I just got thx A rak archuevement yesterday. I did cheese missions, but I was never relying on chance. Eveything was managable with tactics, even if some were scummy on in one case almost cheating.By destroying their entertainment of the game.

They don't need to upgrade it. Just add the DX11 version to the game as is. It's not like it'd be all that difficult. It's been done before.

Scamco is bad, but not THAT bad

I'll stick with my Direct X 9.0c version I bought a few weeks back, thank you very much! I'm completely okay with remasters, but this one feels a little cheap. Is it the tiredness, or am I not seeing much difference at all in the visuals? Adding an NPC is not a game changer. Plus the season pass will have a pretty decent discount in the upcoming sales, I'm sure. I don't know, us PC folks don't have much incentive apart from +1'ing it up, I suppose.
Even that's kind of killing the fun though, abusing mechanics is just as bad as reloading.
Either way, it's very hard to get A ranks without doing something like that.

That's not really relevant to what I was saying.
You said, "It's basically a different game, so it can't really be upgraded." which isn't true at all. They can "upgrade" the game in a couple of ways... They can pull the game and files as they are from the sub, and just replace it all with the new stuff. Or put it up alongside the current version, and add a launcher option for DX9/11.
They could very easily "upgrade" the current version. And there shouldn't be any discount in the first place either, because there shouldn't be any sort of new, separate/standalone version of the game. It's a glorified patch.
I apologize if I'm misunderstanding what it is you're saying, but it sounds like you're defending/excusing what they're doing, which is bullshit. If they are in fact selling what is basically a new, patched version of the game by itself, that's a straight up scam, and has no ground to be excused.
You get some improvements/contents and tweaks for free, quoting duckroll:
The more I hear about the DaS2 super edition, the less interested I am.

Well, not all were fun, but most came natural by refining my tactics. And after all that process was the most fun.Even that's kind of killing the fun though, abusing mechanics is just as bad as reloading.
Either way, it's very hard to get A ranks without doing something like that.
Well, except for that one time I borderline cheated and that wasn't even my own idea, but it was ultimately very interesting.

I guess I'm also a weirdo. I have profiles for any major game I play so they all have their own color. I also like setting the Start/Back buttons to the touchpad for certain games that use them a lot. You can start with the touchpad off (slide/scroll), and enable it by touching the touchpad and hitting the guide button.
Maybe you tolerate repetition/the process better than I then.
When I get round to playing VC again on PC, I definitely won't be bothering again.
yea pretty disappointing
i hope the upgrade is cheap or something
i actually got dark souls 2 gifted to me for my birthday so it's only natural i get the upgrade for the next one
Indeed you are misunderstanding me. I'm fully aware that they could upgrade the original version for the new one if they wanted and I'm not defending that. I was just clarifying that the way they will offer this will be as a separate entry/app on steam so you will not be able to buy a upgrade that turns your DX9 copy into a DX11 copy, but that doesn't mean that previous owners will not get some kind of loyalty discount. It will probably have a discount, they just don't call it a upgrade because you are technically getting a separate game.

Haha. Anything to make customers require less support, eh?
Ah, so there's Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 2 Redux (DX9) and Dark Souls 2 Redux (DX11). That's great but also supremely stupid.
Uh oh. But since games are region locked by default now I guess the trading grey market will inevitably shrink anyway.

First the Dark Souls 2 news now this ;_;
Seems like that.Maybe you tolerate repetition/the process better than I then.
When I get round to playing VC again on PC, I definitely won't be bothering again.
But it really depends on the kind of repetition. I hate the kind of repetition AssCreed and the likes offer. Collecting stuff and so on. But I do love strategy games and trying diffenrt tactics. The actual missions in VC are very short and this makes it very easy to replay them with different approaches or even with only little tweaks.
tbh it shouldn't cost more than like 15 bucks to owners of the previous version and even that is stretching it
specially since graphically that trailer didn't show anything that screamed "next-gen"
like imo it looked exactly like the game i played tbh
well for what it's worth this trend has its days numbered since there aren't any new games worth doing enhanced editions being released on last gen anymore
publishers are being really greedy in doing two versions on pc
you're horrible
horrible
Hey Sega, how's that Virtua Fighter 5 port coming along?
