Dark Souls is the laziest port I have ever seen for PC - the game does not even show you the keyboard shortcuts, it just uses the gamepad icons. It's THAT bad. Add a downright broken, fickery camera, actions that require pressing a keyboard and a mouse button at exactly the same time etc. etc.
It's a really, really, really shoddy port. Shame!
Right now, I am completing my "scrap list" aka games at <5$ that I'll buy tomorrow.
Any recommendations?
To be fair, it's not the first and I bet it won't be the last that has that problem. The real reason I think Dark Souls should be ashamed are the graphics. All textures are console-crappy ones and it took 2-3 days for a random dude create a patch that "fixes" this problem. Without this patch the game is far too ugly to be played.
As much as I HATE Kotor2, I'll try to give it a 2nd chance with the community patches you speak of. Not only that, I only played a pirated version of it, so it's another off my "Bad Karma" list.
P.S GOD-EMPRAH DAMN IT, I can't get a damn Prison Architect card!

Disappointed in Van Helsing not going down to 75%. The rest...meh. Pity for Dark Souls. Might pick it up at Christmas for the Xbox *looks at fiancee*
Apparently prices were bugged and are now properly discounted. Still...really? So many repeats...no series sales? Splinter Cell series? Meh, meh, meh. Just bought Chivalry.

For a last day its been a bit sucky. I really hate when they only put on game in a series up for sale, not the whole thing, especially when the previous games are old. Conversely I did pick up the complete Tomb Raider series for a tenner. ^^
Things I wanted to come up for sale but didn't? The original Call of Duty's(I couldn't give a toss about the later ones). Don't Starve could have been a lot cheaper (feck paying £7 for an indie game). Bioshock: Infinite was tempting, but I don't see the point in buying it at its current price unless the DLC is discounted to. Better to wait a year for the base price to go down as well.
...and the last 4 offers are in. To end with a blast, the last 4 flash offers are Crysis 2...uhm...Total War Shogun...eh...Retro City Rampage...and...Endless Space...okay, Valve, now you're just trolling.
Worst steam sale so far. First few days were good, then started the endless repetitions and the ending was a bad joke. Booo Valve. Booo.

yes, Dark Souls is a great game and yes, 7,50€ is a ridiculously awesome price for it, but if you need to pay another 25€ to be able to play it on PC, you can keep it.
Thanks.
On further regard: if you like Asian settings, get Sleeping Dogs and if you haven't bought Max Payne 3 yet: do it.
There is a mod (if you PM Soladrin he can tell you where it is) that makes the game playable on the PC.
Or you could be like me. I bought Darksiders 1, found it annoyingly unplayable with the camera being tied to the mouse, and bought a wired xbox controller for 20 bucks (you don't need the fancy adapter) and downloaded a program off of Microsoft's website.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.
