Perhaps those new bosses will be added via the hinted at DLC. One can hope. Want some more dark souls action.
Even if the bosses are the DLC for the console version. I'll be getting this again.
I wonder if we can get them to also give us Demon Souls as well. I would love to have those in my PC collection. Time to return.....to the King's Field.

Woooooohooooo!
Shouldn't we be praising something darker than the sun tho? What's the opposite of a sun, a black hole? Let's praise that.
Can't wait to feel those master race frames per second breezing cooly along my cheek as I get torn apart.

Fuck yeah. I hope the modding comunnity recieves this game with arms wide open. Imagine the posibilities.

Pretty much any game they want, as most PC games are still supported via dedicated servers :D

I'm buying it even though I already have a PS3 copy. That game is that good to me. And I never do that. Yay!
Dear Mass Effect fans,

PS: Praise the Sun!

Hey this is pretty darn neat. Glad to see this wonderful game coming out for even more people to play.
The 2 bosses are actually restored content, their images can be found in the data in the game.
That said, glad to see Dark Souls coming out for PC, let's just hope its true though and not some april fools thing.

I'm skeptical about the controls, and probably won't be picking this up, but good for you PC gamers.
(hoping that this doesn't end up in stupid console-PC wars later)

Kid,
PC gamers are not against plugging xbox controllers(etc) into their PC's for games that don't fit for keyboards.

@kid the console controls for this game was the stupidest fucking abomination I've seen in years, don't fool yourself. Its why I took my copy and used it for shotgun target practice. I'll be buying it again now that it has a sensible control scheme.
Can not wait for this!
Also I have been thinking how they would resolve the multiplayer issue that could come up on the PC platform because by its nature it is open.
Perhaps they could have a regular one that is a 1:1 match of the console one and an open one that uses a separate character slot that allows PC players to hook up directly with friends and or use mods?
Like how Blizzard used Battle.net and Open Battle.net for Diablo 2 before Blizzard took the stupid bus to the RMA-always-online-screw-the-consumer-because-we-want-WoW-players-not-Diablo-players model.

I disagree with the framerate quip, the game should also work properly at all resolutions, i.e. widescreen and Eyefinity/Surround.
I've never had any frame rate problems? Am confused. Note: Iron Maiden's "Moonchild" just started playing on my iPod. ;)
Kidding of course, this should be played by all! And it would be awesome for Dark Souls to be ported over too, but I'm pretty sure Sony holds the publishing rights to that so it's not likely.
Stop with all the bitching about framerate issues. The game played fine, and it's one of the best games of all-time. Enough is enough. This game is a masterpiece that now even PC gamers will enjoy, no matter what Conrad's shitty review says.
Ive already put 50 hours into my character on the 360, the PC version would need to have more than just a couple new bosses to justify a rebuy. Like proper online co-op(or, if I could dream, LAN), modding API, extended graphical options, etc.
Id buy a true PC version, but have no interest in buying just a port.

@Domii, dude have you even played the game? Go to Blighttown and tell me theres no framerate issues.
@ Achromatis
Bullshit. I have log about 200+ hours in to the game and I had no framerate problems neither did my friends. In Blight town it did drop down just a little when I was heading down the swamp area, but not game breaking like the idiots here make it sound like.

I' so looking forward to getting this on PC. Japanese games on PC, great stuff, more Japanese games should be released on PC even if it is digital download only. I would love to play Vanquish on my laptop if it were ever released.
@ Football Religion
I had no such problems, but if a small minority did have those issues, then it's important to mention that From Soft has release several updates already that should take care of those issues. So talking about issues that aren't present anymore in DS, would only turn off potential DS future buyers therefore hurting From Soft and the fan movement.
Please no more misinforming people with issues that are now irrelevant my fellow Dtoid comrades.

Duno what to tell you then, because I and my friends all experienced horrible framerate drops in Blighttown(specifically, up on the rafters). Down into the low teens, it was so bad most of my deaths there were from frame skipping and walking off ledges and being unable to time blocks or counters - and thats on top of it already being a relatively challenging area.
The only way I was able to get through there without returning the game(which I considered) was to play looking backwards at a wall. Any time I looked down or out during combat got me killed, it was challenging for all the wrong reasons.
Not that it made the game "bad" or invalidated the rest of my experience, but it was pretty sloppy to ship the game with an area like that. In my definition its a broken area, because its a combat game relying on timing with an area that has a framerate of 14-18.

I'm starting to think tha you don't know what "framerate" means, dude.
Dark Souls was a fantastic game -- one of my favorites -- but the framerate was absolutely unacceptable. Blighttown was a nightmare to play, and the framerate dipped in many other areas of the game, too. This has been a complaint of everyone who's played it since its release. It was programmed a lot worse than Demon's Souls.

Damn-i-need-a-rig-now...wonder-if-the-input-lag/queue-problem-will-be-fixed...that-and-the-framerate-pissed-me-off-more-than-everything...especially-after-demons-souls-had-neither-of-those-issues
Buying on Steam, and gifting a few copies to friends that never got to know the joy of Dark Souls on 360/PS3. You have my money, FromSoft
@Achromatis @pedrovay2003
The magic word is "was" guys. It might of been an issue for some at launch, but it's over now. The game has been patched, Therefore the framerate bullshit should end. Its pointless to keep talking about this anymore.
Btw guys, the funny thing about all these is I have put a shit load of hours in to this game and I still haven't beaten it. I'm just having so much fun farming so I can school assholes that gave me a hard time before with my 5+ demon titanite spear. Im fucking addictive, I know. lol

@ domii
dude, you must really love consoles, because everyone else is happy to admit there are problems with the framerate. it's okay, being a console gamer perhaps you've never even seen a game running at 60FPS, so how would you know!?
if you love this game so much you should buy a PC, so you can experience it the way it was meant to be played. /trolling
really though, i've seen the frames drop in DS, it's not been fixed and it's really not that unusual. i've played loads of great games with framerate issues. i don't mean to be snobby, but it's kind of par for the course on consoles, especially when they are pushing the visuals to the limit on old hardware like they are at the moment.
i'm really looking forward to this BTW! Thank you From! good to see more jap devs embrace the PC. :D

@ psycho terror2
We were having a great conversation here, there is no need to make this in to a PC vs Consoles bullshit.
@ Football Religion
Didn't you read my previous comment? I play the game EVERYDAY! When I have time ofcourse. I have the PS3 version and they have patched it already. So maybe you haven't updated it or it might be a problem with the 360 version I don't know. But you can check any Dark Souls forum, and see that FS has adreesed those problems already. If not, then I don't know what to tell you, but I hope you're enjoying the game bro.
