Yeah I was referring to the mod. I’m pretty sure you knew I was referring to the mod, but in case you missed it, the mod is what I’m referring to. The mod. That mod which is a mod that mods the game in a mod kind of fashion. Have I mentioned I meant the mod yet?

It is better than drunk vision…

vcatkiller:
Framerate issues?Oh good thought it might be just me and my cruddy system trying to run the hi-res patch.Nothing gamebreaking yet, just not silky smooth.

Oh and I haven’t de-hollowfied yet so haven’t had issues with other players – yet.Complete lack of experience meant I kept getting owned by BFs on the 360 version so I’m putting that off as long as possible.Having problems with mobs as it is.(although I’m *finally* starting to get the hang of backstabs – a little..)

I know of the DoF fix and other mod by the same awesome guy but what is this high resolution ‘patch’ you mention?

*waits patiently at you feet*…

Eventually he gets into the actual game proper, and proceeds to stab a few zombies and step into the first room full of urns and a giant beastie appears.
Spent the next 20 minutes laughing my ass off ass he repeatedly gets ganked by said large monster and running back into the room to try again.

I had to leave shortly after , but he swears he’s further into the game now and enjoying it at any rate ;D

It all adds to the atmosphere, your character has a shining light that seems to come from within to help light your path, but it doesn’t help you to see enemies lurking in the distance.

This is one of the most atmospheric games I have played, on par with S.T.A.L.K.E.R in thar regard.

While the PC port wasn’t as polished as some had hoped (before FROM shattered our dreams and explained the resolution issues) it is still the definitive version of the game.

Unfortunately some of the framerate bugs are still present, but nowhere near as bad as the console versions – and no, its not my PC, just about everyone I know who has played it experiences issues with framerate at one time or another, but overall, it doesn’t detract from the game.

The game is a harsh, cruel mistress, you really are your own worst enemy and the sooner you work that out, the better. One thing I love is that if you get a bit ahead of yourself, say you travel back from Sens to firelink shrine at a high Soul Level, it is still possible to die going back through the starting areas, the game is never safe and unless you do it properly, you will die even in lower areas.

Absolutely brilliant, its a shame there still seem to be many connection issues, whether these are due to the servers, the GFWL software or just peoples inability to set their networks up properly, there seems to be far too many ‘Summoning Failed’ messages popping up for my liking.

The fact that it is on the PC also leads to people who want to ruin your experience, by wait of cheating and/or hacking, manipulating their save games to be a low soul level with high stats, running around in endgame armour at soul level 20 etc.

Being invaded by these people really ruins the game, as normally when you were invaded, you always felt like you had a chance, a shot at beating the dark phantom now tip toeing down the hallways of your world and while there were savegame hacks for the 360 version, I don’t think it was anywhere near as bad as what I have seen so far on the PC version. I had the PS3 version and AFAIK there was none of that.

It is, but keep in mind those are small shots. And you can adjust brightness. That said I like to keep it close to suggested settings, it makes it rather moody that way…

Finally had a chance to play the PC version last night. Been ages since I played the game, got my butt handed to me until I settled back into "the rhythm" as it were. Can't believe the asylum demon killed me twice! TWICE! Then eventually my fingers remembered what to do. Much facepalming.

And yeah needs that graphics patch. Looks rather plain without. Looks rather crisp and clean with.
