Nah, Blighttown is still terrible even at a pristine 60 frames-per-second. I feel like I always gloss over this part of my adulation because it ends up being a relative blip on the radar but in the moment, woof. It's fucking irritating for a game that otherwise I adore. I have played this game enough to know where I need to go but no enough (apparently) to still not get lost and then tripped up in the geometry and die. It's confusing in a not good way with bad enemies and poison and it's just kind of all of the things about souls games that are frustrating and not fun. Is the internet in agreement that Blighttown even with a good framerate is just bad? Like, it's just BAD level design. Having said that, I don't read much about this game. 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. 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. It feels like a half assed port of a port that barely justifies the (ymmv) $20-$40 price tag. I think they missed a huge opportunity here to repackage and tweak Dark Souls for Current Year. Original 'prepare to die' edition removed from steam storefront and can no longer be purchased (hopefully temporary) Merely connecting with a hacker can potentially get you softbanned Hacking is rampant, same old hacks/griefing works Random frame pauses during online/autosave synching 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) Original bugs, glitches, core gameplay, and feel largely intactĭedicated servers!!!!!!. |draw distance (omg valley of drakes you can totally see the drakes on the bridge even from a distance) PC scrubs will be like '$20 patch' (rightfully so)

Console scrubs probably love this version (rightfully so)
