@dts: I'd say if you're looking for an excuse, pick it up early while theres some crazy multiplayer to be had.

with dsfix, if you already own dark souls, it's literally pasting a file from a zip to your game directory, its hardly a "hassle", but maybe thats worth $20, or even $40. ymmv.

granted Remaster does more than just charge you $20 for dsfix, but with the removal of Prepare to Die edition from the Steam store, and the loss of mods (modding Remastered will get you softbanned), I guess thats a decision you... cant make anymore, and the amazing array of mods aren't available to you either and never will be. Unless they re-list PtDe or package it with Remastered (like sane people would)

Just noticed the quick look is coming in 7 hours. Also the game was released a day early and call me crazy but has any video game been released early that wasn't at least a lukewarm mess?

seriously most movies that release early are hot garbage and get released early for a reason, and the only games i remember being released early were because street date was broken so they said fuck it, but do street dates even exist anymore for video games?

Wow..... what a mess

Console scrubs probably love this version (rightfully so)

PC scrubs will be like "$20 patch" (rightfully so)

pros:
better lighting and sparkly stuff
6 player pvp
revived pvp playerbase
dedicated servers!!!!
|draw distance (omg valley of drakes you can totally see the drakes on the bridge even from a distance)
multiplayer healing items balanced
UI scaling option
original bugs, glitches, core gameplay, and feel largely intact

cons:
original bugs, glitches, core gameplay, and feel largely intact
$20 patch
framerate worse than dark souls 3
dedicated servers!!!!!!....... for matchmaking. after that it's still p2p. please enjoy your lagstabs!
game speed is now tied to framerate (drops in framerate slows the game instead of skipping frames)(ie: you're gonna die a lot to bullshit you can no longer predict)
random frame pauses during online/autosave synching
hacking is rampant, same old hacks/griefing works
merely connecting with a hacker can potentially get you softbanned
original "prepare to die" edition removed from steam storefront and can no longer be purchased (hopefully temporary)
no mods allowed
$20 patch

I think they missed a huge opportunity here to repackage and tweak Dark Souls for Current Year. It feels like a half assed port of a port that barely justifies the (ymmv) $20-$40 price tag. I think if you never played it before, or only on console, this release will seem great, but anyone else will probably be pretty bummed out. At least we can look forward to the re-release of Demon's Souls and be able to play it on PC in like 2 years? Yeah probably about 2 years.

AU$918 for entry point VR.

i am so fucking bummed out right now
