Ugh, Blighttown... Even disregarding the frame rate issues there, it's easily my most hated area. Love the game though, and will be picking up the DLC as soon as it hits the PSN store.
I think I dislike Tomb of the Giants slightly more, but yeah, Blighttown can't be over with soon enough.
This is going to be a long wait *twitches* , also i didn't find Blightown framerate that bad, i was more offended by its green poop-like tint. Granted, i usually just made my way across the Valley of Drakes, so i didn't see all of Blightown.
The only place that ever hit me hard on framerate was that lava pit with all the bone t-rex things. Bright town wasn't ever bad for me. Strange.
I really want to play this game, but I already dropped 60 for the unplayable 10 fps 360 version. I'll catch this on a steam sale, unless I can get a refund for the rip off that was the 360 version.
For me, blight town wasn't that bad; tomb of giants was much worse. But the area that almost made me quit the damn game was anor londo....damn that anor londo. It felt sooooo good to beat the game in the end though. I'd do it again if I had time.
Screw Blight Town, Lost Izalith is hands down one of the worst areas of the game. Especially when you have to run through the lava with all those giant dino legs chasing after you. It's bad enough that this area itself is bright as hell, but the added frame drop makes the experience so much more terrible. I could barely tell where I was going half the time; plus having your health slowly drained while you tank heavy damage from all them damned T-Rex is not my definition of having fun. Seriously, sometimes I wonder what was going through their heads when coming up with that place.
I've imported the PC retail disc, because playing offline is DRM-free (not even a CD key is needed to play offline), so I can't wait to try this. I may pick the console version up again in the future, too, since I love the game that much. But the PC version is so much smoother.

I believe the DLC is $15. You might as well just rebuy it in retail and have it all on the disc.

@seventh shen - Weird - I put about 250 hours in on the 360 version and never once did the framerate make it anywhere close to unplayable. That's on a launch 360, too.
With the resolution fix added in, and running on a decent computer, this game now officially looks better than the PS3 or 360 versions ever did on my flat-screen. Not getting any problems in BlightTown, so I'm overall a lot happier having it for PC.
I was really happy to see that they added in extra bonfire warp points, so hey console people less walking to do when the update finally hits! :D

I honestly though the dark souls PvP couldn't get any worse.
Then I played the PC version. How quickly I was proven wrong.

I've heard horror stories about the PvP. I almost had a heart attack when someone invaded me right when I was on the verge of getting cursed in the sewers, but I kicked their ass. Haven't seen any other players yet besides that.
Went through this game on console as a lvl 1 character, so I could PvP anybody anywhere. Playing on the PC doesn't seem so bad right now, though am guessing we'll see more and more cheaters as time goes on. If you can, enjoy the PvP now, while the community is still fresh! =)
with the master key i can clear blighttown in less than 10 min. i dont use any bonfire down there, so after killing the spider-bitch i use a Homeward Bone and im back at Firelink Shrine. fucking easy.
also to anyone new to the game a quick tip:
only level str and dex to use the claymore and then only vitality. vitality is going to make the game fucking easyy as fuck. fuck magic. fuck miracles. only vitality and ur fucking claymore and thats it.
cant wait to kill artorias!!!!! :D

Also, does anyone know if these retail console versions are coming to North America, or are they Euro-exclusive?
Blighttown gets a hard time, I think it's a really awesome area. A rickety, improvised construction, built at the base of a city in the runoff from the sewers leading down to the great swamp. Great design. Plus, you can take a relaxing sip of your drink, or a drag on a cigarette, in between the frames.
Am I the only one that never experienced a framerate hit in Blight Town? My PS3's fan gets really loud whenever I go there, but it stays nice and smooth.
Blighttown isn't so bad if you know what you're doing. You want to know the meaning of horrible? Tomb of Giants. To make things even worse, there's really no decent warp location nearby so you gotta slog through the whole damn thing if you wanna visit Vamos. Why don't I upgrade my weapons to Fire or Chaos? Because it would mean having to go through that terrible area again. (Well, that and Fire's kind of a shitty option in the late game) Thank god Pinwheel and Nito are piss-easy to beat.
I'll take Lost Izalith, Blighttown, and even Crystal Caves any day.
Regardless though, I'm looking forward to experiencing Lordran again. Especially looking forward to the new areas and updates.

Is the prepare to die edition going to ship with the new content on disc, or just with the DLC code?
Guys, if you're having trouble with dodge spamming enemies in PvP, use the Tranquil walk of peace spell.
It's worth it.

Been enjoying this so much more on PC than I did on consoles, no framerate issues and the textures are done so much more justice once you have Durante's fix on board!
Also, I've not had any problems in PvP, but then again my Shadow garb and fire Uchigatana (soon to be chaos uchi) and pyromancy build tear through anyone who dares jump into my world >:D

Buying this on PC was a mistake for me.The ungodly amount of hacker in the book of the guilty is terrible..Single player maybe fine but R.I.P those who actually wan to experience the PvP part of the game on PC.It's tewrrible.10- of my 17 invasion were hackers.
This is just about the best horror video game ever! Nothing beats The Depths for me, I've both seen and played some great sessions there.
wait.. wait.. so a special pc version with added content because all the pc fans wanted it on the pc so bad they made it and now they are taking that special pc version and re-releasing it on the consoles it wasnt meant to be on because the game was already released on consoles?
what the fuck is wrong with this industry?

It's more like they wanted the game itself, From said "Okay, and we'll add some extras for you guys too. Sorry, consoles."
But then the console players complained, and From was like "Okay, okay, we'll figure it out. Sorry guys."
Now there's the PtD disc coming out for the few players that still are interested, but haven't gotten the game yet, and the extra stuff is also being released as a DLC for the people who already have the game, so I'm really not sure what you're raging over.

They have, in a very real way, made a game that appeals to and rewards every archetype of player.Battle Panic
