Written by: Daniel Webb - "“Dark Souls” is a game synonymous with cruel difficulty and relentless death resulting in many broken controllers, yet the game’s rich lore and beautifully wicked world has earned a league of die-hard fans. The critically acclaimed game was released on consoles in the third quarter of 2011 with the PC version, “Dark Souls: Prepare to Die,” released in August of 2012."

Is the OoT screenshot a comp of hyrule field with the Windows Vista desktop layered over the foreground?
Bandai Namco has released its latest financial report, revealing that the Dark Souls series has reached around 40 million units combined.
Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.
This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.
mh ur right actually.
dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.
bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
It doesn't really though does it?
Silly argument.
PC is a PC.
A console is a console.
Both are able to play games, but consoles are more convenient and easier to use on the big screen. All the big games are made on console then ported to PC.....if they even make it to PC. Piracy is a huge problem.
Who gives a crap?
I just started getting into PC gaming and it is brilliant. I wouldn't say it is significantly better or worse than gaming on a console.
BUT! When it comes to Dark Souls a controller is without a doubt the best way to experience the game. I just can't see a keyboard and mouse being viable. Sure people will do just fine with Keyboard and Mouse, but a controller is the way forward.
The best part is both versions of the game CAN be played with a controller. It is just essentially the same experience on both platforms.
This is NOT the game to spark a PC vs Console debate. The benefits for each sides are so small it doesn't matter.
Online & control
CONSOLES > pc
PC Dark Souls > Console Dark Souls
Bob Dole's reasoning behind this; mods. A mod was released for this game a mere 30 minutes after it launched enabling the game to be played at 1080p resolution. With a controller and a HDMI cable hooked into a tv the gameplay is exactly the same. There is also a 60fps mod someone made but it only works in offline mode but it looks oh so gorgeous.
