"texture mod" there are distinct engine changes. Though i do love when a non-programmer does a review with few knowledge of core engine functions and changes. I dont disagree the fact the remaster was a brick to the dick, but that doesnt mean its "bad". Just demoralizing in a sense, also "wrath" should throw things away from you, not launch them in the direction you face. It makes more sense this way. Honestly, maybe dark souls will finally be good for once.
@@javierititin sure, but you're asking for clairvoyance, which is not what his point was, he was saying Bethesda did a better job with the Skyrim remaster.
No kidding... I mean, if they want to see a remaster done right, point them in the general direction of Halo: Anniversary Edition, Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age...
Your comment says "I really liked the gladiator's original voice. It sounded more ruthless and savage" but when I click on your comment, it's your actual comment.
That's the point. The one and only big deal with this Remaster is the rebirth of the community. And they (=developers) know it, goddamnit! That's why they're going to pull out such as a lazy... Fix, 'cos this isn't even a proper mod to the original game.
Have fun with the remaster... or PTD, which you can't buy.. even as someone who didn't buy DS R, this hurts me more than you'll ever know. both games are dead, all because of Bandai's greed and because they just didn't allow both to coexist, like they did with DS 2.. They killed Dark Souls 1 on steam, that's about it. :I
If it’s but 8 years and I see “remaster” I’m expecting Halo anniversary not this Halo anniversary shouldn’t be the odd one out, it should be the standard for remasters
Their remakes because they are built from the ground up on a new engine and assets, and they add new modes like forge. A typical remaster is just a port with shader and resolution updates.
Spartan Studios No, a bad remaster is just some port and shaders. It's a good remaster because it dosen't change the story and the levels, enemies and weapons are the same. It literally has a function to change between old and new graphics with a press of a button. A remake would be based of the same game and story but changing it alot in some areas. Either new gameplay mechanics or story rewriting. Shadow of the colossus for the ps4 is a remaster. Metroid zero mission and Metroid: Samus returns are remakes.
God bless you Todd Howard, for giving us innumerable ports of Skyrim, praise be to the deliverer of features that just work, and the most accurate experience of a dead wastelaned to date Jokes aside I have no problem with how much Skyrim got sold, I knew 76 was gonna be a dumpster fire and decided to wait and watch before buying, decided not to buy it ever, and I got my enjoyment out of Fallout 4. Plus I've still always got 3 to go back to (as well as all the others), and I think it gets more of a bad rap then it deserves. Broken Steel was pretty shit though, Creation Club is a scam, and I don't like Zenimax denying Obsidian royalties on New Vegas, though I'm not even terribly fond of Obsidian anymore after the travesty that was Pillars of Eternity 2...
It is indeed incredibly insulting that they aren't giving those who own the original on Steam the remastered version for free. Like Skyrim and Bioshock did.
That's my only issue with this really. It's obviously meant for the newer consoles but it should be free for people on PC that already have the game. It's greedy as hell to take down the old, cheaper game (that could be fixed with mods for the most part) to make people pay $40 for the "new game" or $20 for a patch.
Skyrim only gave you the special edition if you already had all of the dlc. Otherwise, I don't think you even got a discount. So yeah, either own all their dlc or shell out another 40 bucks.
If you drop about 100 dollars on dlc and get every single one, you get skyrim special edition for free. If you own Dark Souls for PC, you get the remaster half off. Neither is a good business practice but i'd rather pay 60 dollars then over 100.
Also witcher 1, 2, and 3 enhanced editions. The bioshock remasters, skyrim enhanced edition (with the addition of paid mods of course), darksiders, and many others that just don't come to mind right now.
@@roiroije243 It wasnt. Malcom might be lifeless, but he shows how less of a F**K fromsoft gives about their multiplayer. People can roam around freely and ban other players without a problem. People that change their ingame NAME get banned, while godmodders and teleporters can roam freely, since i do it myself. I wont get banned for godmode, but for changing my name. Great anti cheat.
Metro 2033 Redux improved graphics, runs WAY better, added new weapons and enemies from the sequel, added higher res character models AND improved the AI of enemies significantly. 5€ for owners of the original.
im rotting for metro exodus too, i have the redux version of 2033 and last light on ps4 and the improvements are amazing in comparision with the 360/ps3 version the light effects are beatiful
It’s funny. I bought this recently for 9 dollars when it was on sale. And didn’t realize the remastered part. I played and said “wow it’s just how I remembered it” and then read the remastered and said “what?! It doesn’t look any different”
Honestly is they had just made the graphics better, fixed all the damn bugs, and made the covenant system actually work *glances at gravelord nito*, it would have been worth it. But to release it in the state it is in, AND remove dark sould from the steam store, that is unforgivable.
Attila The Pun Gravelord did work, but you only saw the red phantoms in NG+, but saw the messages in NG. And no one played past NG for long considering that the difficulty spike an insane amount in NG+
There was also no incentive to go to NG+. Unlike DS2 for example, where you could only get certain items in certain NG+s (bonfire ascetics didn't work for all of them).
The game comes out in 11 days. There is no "fixing all damn bugs"; that is not how programming works. Beside these fucking dipshits will always, ALWAYS find glitches. They ARE making the graphics better, it may not be a massive uplift, but it's a noticeable one so what in the actual fuck did you miss here? They're making changes to how multiplayer works and this video was made using the network test, here's to hoping it fixes the fucked up connectivity issues the original on PS3 and X360 had that even prevented consoles in the same house from finding each other. Why would anybody expect this to be more than a remaster? What exactly is the outrage behind removing Dark Souls from Steam? That version was originally a GFWL, it's been a bitch trying to find if it was patched out cause somehow I found ways to to crack, pirate, and cheat than some useful fucking information on the subject. Not only that isn't the connectivity of the Steam port fucked just like the original? I sure as fuck wasn't going to play DS on steam for that last fact alone.
Riiswolf Calm down bud. Most people, my self included, expected a bit more than just a graphical update and fixing a few minor things. If they're gonna re release Dark Souls, there were a few very simple things they could've done to make the game even better. The fact that they are charging $40 for it on most platforms is what blows my mind, considering how little was actually changed
You brought up some fair points. For someone who already owned Dark Souls, this isn’t a very satisfying release. Though, for someone like me who’s never gotten the chance to play it in the past, it was really great. That’s mostly because I got it on Switch and it comes with those perks. I also got it nearly a year after release and from my understanding there were a few patches since then. To be honest though, there were some minor oddities I noticed, even never having played the original
From what I can tell. The Switch version is basically the PS3 version with stable 30 fps and a handheld mode though. So it's just a functional DS 1, which might actually be better than the remaster. I've seen some really weird changes to lighting in the other versions of remastered
As i'm a fan of Early Access games, my tendency to buying them pretty early faded off finally after a long time. This also translates to games that are released (mostly on Steam), which i buy quite a time after they "matured". This is dictated not only by the price (that for fresh releases is pretty high most of the time), but also due to some "patches" existing or mods to check out in the near future (if i ever like the game so much). Seeing as many current games are riddled with bugs, while some titles in EA have small amounts of them (if any), it's a strange comparison of games that "are made well" against those that are not...
Damn I had no idea about how little effort was put into this remaster. I guess the only consolidation is it'll revive the PvP?? But... it would've done that anyway. Pretty disappointing, the exact opposite of this video
The Act Man WHY...MY GOD, WHY do you people think they would waste time and money redoing the whole game just so they can release it on current consoles...that's retarded...your expecting waaaaaaaay to much here folks.....it's just not logical....bottom line...you folks are mad that it's not a new souls title and experience...it was never meant to be.
Darrelvision97 x I understand you, yet I don’t agree with you. You are the kind From is looking for, who will accept it because compared with the 360 version it is a good enough version. Maybe sad was not the right word, what I mean is that it’s sad that a company can do such a poor job and still get defended because the only other version some played is a shithole compared
Blame Bandai, From barely had any involvement in this. And I agree, people who let companies get away with half assed cash grabs like this is EXACTLY what is wrong with the gaming industry. Why be creative and make new games when you can milk nostalgia?
OrionnEntity - You haven't fucking _lost anything_ as it comes out. DS:R is a shiny port because that's what remasters _fucking are._ It might not be a great port, but it's hardly in the top twenty awful things a publisher has done in the past six months.
The Man Who Sold the World I’m gunna get this out, this may not be a very good remaster but I still like it, and none of you can take that away from me.
The Man Who Sold the World pretty much. The only people who like the pvp in this game are people who literally backstab fish every-single-fucking-encounter. The meta rn is 15 great club 50 str hornet ring backstab gg. This pvp is simply broken and has been for years. The retards will stay and the rest of us will go back to a more rewarding pvp experience.
SotFS was like a year after the original reason to be fair. That's what irked a lot of people with it (along with it trying to improve the lighting, which the preview demo had a LOT better use of than the original DkS2, but also than Scholar)
I'm still angry over that. An arm and a leg it cost me with all the DLC, and then they go and release a paid patch at full price not a year later. Should've saved my money instead of wasting it on a glorified beta. Edit: Those greedy sons of bitches.
Yeah, that was a surprise. Dead angling to me was an interesting little mechanic that added a bit of strategy to the combat, as you had to know your weapons and positioning to exploit it. You'd think they would keep that and not instant chain back stabs. Which don't really need any skill to use. "Oh I pressed a button when I was in the generally vicinity of your back, and I took 80% of your health! I am the best!"
To put it simply, its where your attack bypasses your opponent's shield due to the angle of the weapon's strike and the defending player's hitbox. It typically favors wide sweeping weapons, as the game calculates that such attacks hit past the angle the shield is protecting. Its technically an exploit, as it does take advantage of the game's hitbox calculations, but it was still an interesting detail and I would have preferred they expanded upon it.
Appley Animator it's a secret forbidden technique where you swing your zweihander (or similarly long weapon) not in the direction of your opponent, but to the right of him, to catch him with the part of the weapon hitbox. That way you will never be parried, because game think you missed him.
Agreed. It sucks that I can't play DS1 with my friend cause we have different versions of the game. It sucks that people who didn't have Prepare to Die Edition probably won't get a chance to play any of the big mods for DS1. Just a lot of disappointment all around
DS3 was already the biggest insult, removing all the mechanics and turning it into simplified garbage while offering less content than anyother DS before apart from the boss design. This at least is at its core still a good Dark Souls, of course though fuck that unnecessary remaster.
Liam SmithI mean, it's DS, one of the best games ever made, it is an utter fucking insult to anyone who has the game on PC already, but it's still a fantastic game, best one in the series.
granting us eyes? everyone saw this coming its just that people are retarded enough to waste 40 dollars for 6 player multiplayer and a new coat of paint.
Oh noes! Some random dude on the internet with lame sense of humor will see that i couldn't understand this poor excuse for a joke, what am i going to do with my life!
1Lomi exactly. As much as people complain about SkyrimSE and paid mods, it ended up not rly effecting the fanbase. I never found a skyrim mod that i had to pay for after paid mods were implemended
Before you comment just remember, saying "if you don't like it don't play" is probably the worst thing you can say in this type of argument next to "if you think it's bad if like to see you try"
Idk. seems like the dark souls games were more popular. like majority didn't notice these games until ds1 was being called the most difficult game ever made (totally debatable, I heard demon souls was harder)
Apparently Bluepoint is working on a remake that is "bigger than Shadow of the Colossus". It could be Demon's Souls, or it could be something else. Just the fact that they're remaking older games still gives us a tiny beam of hope that Demon's Souls might be remade or remastered someday.
*why are people just now getting disappointed they literally listed everything they were going to do right after they announced it months ago.....* i just wish they redid the graphics...but i guess that requires work
'Technically' they redid the graphics, although without improved models and rendering engines, the slightly higher res textures look almost no different, there are even still stretched textures when some NPC's look upwards and show their neck a little bit
Even then they really probably didn't redo the graphics, most of the time when you make these things you make them in a higher resolution you plan to use for a situation like this when you can use improved tech. So all they had to do was take the textures they made originally and slap em on in the right place
It honestly makes sense to remove the outdated version when the new one hits. The old and new player base won't and can't be matched (more phantoms), it'll fragment it further. It avoids consumer confusion; as much as we want to think that people understand that one copy is older and one is newer, there'd still be people buying the "wrong" version and complaining that there's multiple versions available. There's other reasons, if you think critically about it, you can come to those yourself. Do PC players need to upgrade yet? Probably not, wait for a sale to get it cheaper.
This video certainly doesn’t deserve the hate it seems to be getting. I’m a huge DS fan, 400+ hours on steam. Why does the community act so sensitive when someone criticizes the game, or in this case a half assed remaster that isn’t out yet? I was upset to learn that the original will be removed from steam, but that made me like the video because it’s valuable knowledge.
+patrick because in their eyes Dark souls is a complete masterpiece nothing wrong, which is why if you say "i prefer DS2" like i do they'll start jumping on you spouting how you are a complete scrub or need to "git gud" because i didnt care for DS1. once got into an argument about that it is not fun since they don't even use the most logical of arguments
600+h here for DS3 myself. DS: Remastered is shit. As the playerbase currently is showing. steamcharts.com/app/570940 It had 16.000 players on launch. Now it has hardly 720.
@Oligoden i was expecting a remaster, a graphical update at the least, im sorry but all they did was fix some issues you could've patched in the original game, im not spending 40 bucks on a game with new lighting doesnt even do anything
@@Rammkommando no that is not what their thinking, what they are thinking is its not because they fucked with dark souls, but because the remaster is overall... kind of terrible. like objectively more terrible than the original ds1. and i have played all the games, ds3 is my fave and props to you if you like ds2, im not in that camp but did enjoy my play-through of it. they promised a remaster that added more bugs, didn't fix some of the old problems, and the graphics weren't as improved as they could have been, that is all im saying, not trying to lampoon you, have a nice day
Sadly...I wholeheartedly agree with the points you made. Lazy ass development, no matter how you look at it. They could have done so much more instead of giving us a game as broken as it was nearly a decade ago. I would of rather had a half-assed Demon's Souls "remaster" opposed to this.
Fixing known bugs ,improving already existing mechanics and change little things that can be changed with fix and updates doesnt make it a remake . remaster doesn't mean just a graphic update
As Kevlodin stated, it is entirely possible to make improvements to existing mechanics and fix bugs(which have been known for nearly a decade) without requiring a "remake." As a developer I would never expect to do half assed work and be paid in full by arguing semantics(REEEEEEmaster _not_ remake), yet so many people justify this sort of thing from game devs and publishers all the time. I understand some people only seeing DSRE through through their nostalgia goggles, but at some point we have to accept this for what it is: lazy.
To be fair, to get special edition for free you had to own either the complete edition of the original Skyrim, or base Skyrim and all 3 DLCs. If you own only the base Skyrim and no DLCs like I did, it was full price.
Yeah, that was bullshit, because I had to essentially buy all three dlcs for 30 to 40 bucks (and I had paid the game 5 bucks) so yeah, that was a no no for me. And adding insult to injury: paid mods.
I mean, if you owned Skyrim but didn't own any of the DLCs then SE probably didn't mean much anyway. If they gave SE for only owning the base game then they'd have made far fewer sales.
As a console player on PS4, I'm just happy to be able to play the game again, since I don't even know where my old 360 is or my copy of dks1, and I generally prefer having it on PS4 anyway. However, I fully agree with just about everything here aside from maybe omnidirectional rolling, since that would be a disaster with Dks1's backstab system, also, I'm 99% sure the controls are freely bindable in remaster as well.
when I say omnidirectional rolling would be a bad idea, I mean that backstabs would be even easier to perform than they already are, I generally think that they're a good idea in other games, but not with dks1's instant backstab system.
@KeepingMyPeace me being on console doesn't change the fact that a lot of the changes Inferno proposed would have made the game far better, no harm in me agreeing with that. also what do you mean by "You're safe"? you say it like the world is ending for PC players, like it's a massive issue for them. most PC players already have the game and thus this doesn't affect them, they don't have to buy it and shouldn't if they don't feel like it's worth it, the main group of people getting shafted are people on PC buying the game for the first time, as the remaster isn't worth $40 in the slightest, especially if you could get the original for a lot cheaper before and then mod it. actually, why not pirate the original at that point, it's not like the devs give a fuck, seeing as they took it off steam, the main thing you're losing out on there is the functionality of steam itself, and maybe some peace of mind.
The lack of gameplay and that one DS remaster photo led us to believe that the lighting and textures would be overhauled greatly. This is a 7 year game (it looks it), and although it's my favourite game of all time, I am beyond disappointed with it. Today the graphics don't really hold up, especially considering they've been greatly improved upon from DS2+3 and Bloodbourne, so the least they could do is have comparable graphics as it looks like a total downgrade in the remaster. A lot of people saying dur it's a remaster not a remake durr. The fact of the matter is, DS fans are a die hard community of gamers and they love this game to bits, they feel as though they've been cheated to a certain extent, because not enough effort has been put into this remaster. For PC gamers it's a joke, the results you can get from DSfix is identical to the remaster besides some mediocre effects. When you see what was done with the recent Burnout remaster you can see why fans are disappointed. Burnout was not a complete remake, but they remastered enough pieces of it for it to be legitimately called 'a remaster.' Skyrim remastered done enough in the regard also. In my opinion you can't just say "yep, we'll boost the resolution and add a few effects in", and call it a remaster. Then have the audacity to ask people to pay for it even though the original port was almost unplayable on PC, it should have been free for PC gamers.
P Holmes If you didn't know they were all made in different engines, so they aren't gonna look on par with DS2 or DS3, don't comment if you don't even really know what you are saying yourself.
The graphics hold of for me.. they are still really good, doom and wolfenstein still look great today aswell if you are all about graphics then go watch a movie.. games are about gameplay, gameplay and gameplay with a cool sprite animation added sometimes..
If I'm all about graphics I wouldn't have Dark Souls listed as my "favourite all time game", would I? Have a read at my post again and maybe you'll come to a different conclusion on my view-point...
Ugh So many salty casuls talking shit about the remaster even though they haven't played the full release yet. This is the reason why I hate the souls community. Even when they pretty much listened to whiners like this guy here they still aren't satisfied. If you don't like it then don't buy it!
"DS1 is a great game that all of us own & its 8 years old". so WTF are you GD Moron Idiots been Bitching & Crying for a Remaster for!?! LoL!... Get a F'in LIFE! & play games you haven't already played before 8 years ago!?!... LoL F me...
Inferno I love watching your videos but comon man... 1) All the original mods and "care and love" as you said has already been proved to be easily transferable to the remaster. 2) You know damn well that $20 isn't fucking dick. $20 is the cost of lunch for an adult. 3) Comparing Halo or Skyrim to Dark Souls isn't apples to apples. I love Souls, but it's an undeniable fact that Souls has always had a niche following, and I know you shit on Bandai already but being serious if it wasn't for Bandai we wouldn't even have souls because From Soft has given zero fucks about the western audience until recently and if we're speaking frankly, even Bandai's following is literally fucking nothing compared to what Microsoft or Bethesda have. 4) I hate doing this but I need to address your final points. 1: It's literally in the game controls. 2: Separate game engine entirely, might as well re-build DS1 from scratch at that point. 3: Haven't paid too much attention on my mage but I think it looks fine. 4,5,6: Agreed. 6: You can, there's no invasions, but you can summon. 7+ & beyond you're being a nitpicky bitch so I'm gonna ignore em. 5) At the end of the day here are my thoughts. They took a niche cult following game that grew more than they ever expected and cleaned up the original to re-release to others. They made easy fixes, but a lot of those easy fixes overall had a pretty significant impact when they're all added together, especially the multiplayer which was dick without a 3rd party program. With a larger audience than ever before, for once when you invade in the forest you don't know if you'll get an actual PvP match or a gank squad cancer session, which is beautiful. At the end of the day it comes down to this: I've already sunken ~80+ hrs into the remaster, which comes out to $0.50 per hour of entertainment. Sounds like a damn good bargain to me. I'll buy you a damn copy if you think it's bad, and if you enjoy it, I expect a video explaining why you enjoy it with a shameless plug for me :-P I agree it's not perfect but to say it's insulting is pandering to the bandwagon of haters. Your channel and videos are usually aimed to generate salt, but it's obvious that you embrace fun and good times. Disappointed that that wasn't the case here.
It would have been great if they had changed these things as well: 1. Fix backstabs 2. Fix backstabs 3. Fix backstabs This games pvp could have actually been improved with such a simple change. What a shame. Edit: What the fuck I've never had this many likes for a comment
Josh Jones Honestly can't believe they put such a emphasis on larger/more frequent PVP encounters if the game has huge mechanical flaws that disrupt any sort of balance.
I love backstabs because of the amount of tech it spawned. The only way to counter how OP it is is to play a meta build sadly. Another thing is how one handed and strength weapons for the most part are useless. Two handed is dominant as there is a hidden 75% block modifier ontop of current damage resistances. The biggest danger is stamina, which is easily avoided with green blossom
I never got a chance to play the original, because I got into this series later on ( I don't have a gaming pc and my ps3 broke) So for me I am happy just to get a chance to play the game. But I understand how it can be frustratingly similar to those who already owned the game.
This Guy It is. I've played it. I didn't mention earlier but my ps3 broke during my playthrough. And the amount of time I got to play it, I loved every second of it. But it's okay if you don't like it. We all have different opinions.
You could buy it right now on Steam, that's what I did and I didn't have to install anything else to make it work. It just worked. (but I don't care about having 60 FPS so that's why I'm not using ds-fix). Apparently we get to have 50% off on the Remaster when it releases, but you'd have to verify that.
Sam Like I said in my comment. I don't have a gaming pc. I only have this average laptop I use for schoolwork and just browsing the internet. It can't really handle any hardcore gaming
Someone tries to sell you a dog turd for 20 dollars. You make a video telling people this guy is selling dog turds for 20 dollars. You outline what 20 dollars could get you elsewhere and what this particular guy could do better for that price point. You do this while hordes of uninformed or apathetic consumers try to rip your throat out for talking shit about their dog turds. This is entitlement. This is the state of the gaming industry.
If they could've fixed these problems, they would've done it the first time round. Or the second. Or the community would've found a fix in the seven years it's been out.
"This dog turd is not worth 20 dollars" OH MY GOD STOP CRYING YOU ENTITLED BITCH ok. I still fail to see how outlining the flaws with a subpar product is entitlement. I do not understand how saying "I am not buying this thing and here are the reasons why I think you shouldn't" is entitlement, although the nice strawman you built nicely avoided any of those reasons so I guess that is no concern of yours. I guess our disagreement lies in your last sentence. I do believe people that pay 20 dollars for something are owed 20 dollars worth of something. Videos like these along with the rest of the community outcry just show that people do not think they are getting what they pay for, and I can't fathom how it can be a bad thing for a community to try to demand more bang for their buck. We are all videogame consumers in the end. We already see the devaluation of the concept of a remaster in the examples given in the video. Wonder what the "plebs" will let them get away with next time.
@@ant1965gaming They did almost nothing extra that already wasn't added by community. Making people pay for it is retarded to say the least. Waste of money
Yeah.. this remake looks very lackluster and uninspired and it's a dick move that we can't play the original DS1 online anymore. But they had to do it right? Why else would we spend 40 dollars on a remake, that from everything I've seen and heard is worse than the 'remade' and modded DS1 we already have. Greedy bastards!
are we going to have to pay for ds remastered? or if we own it we will get it for free? im thinking about the first option... since nothing is free in 2018 anyways
If you want to play, you'll have to pay. For the price of just 40 dollars, you can now buy a lesser version of the game you already had. Isn't that exciting!? Thanks Bandai Namco, you're the BEST! Bandai Namco confirmed that there will be no discount on PC : www.vg247.com/2018/01/12/dark-souls-remastered-priced-40-owners-of-the-original-on-pc-could-get-a-discount/
MoeHolyGhost I'd be more prepared towards facing ps3 players, that played the game once it first came out. I'd buy this if I still didn't have my PS3 and Dark Souls copy. As for the revamped PVP; I never much cared for that mechanic anyways. All the PVP modes in the souls games (Mind DKS2:SOTFS) were lagfests, which usually resulted in you being killed from nothing at all.
In my opinion the only point of buying it on PC is for online, same thing will happen on PC. For a lot of people on PC DS3 was their first souls game and they likely didn't play DS1/DS2 after that. It will be a bloody good time as well.
At first I was confused when you said they gave Skyrim Remastered to those who owned the original Skyrim for free. Then I realized and saw it was if you owned every DLC. I almost had every DLC. Except the Hearthfire one. The one about building houses and stuff that I had no interest whatsoever in that may as well have been a mod. *REEEEEEEEEEE--*
come on people show the witcher 2 some love,CD project red also gave out the enhanced edition to the original pc owners for free and the graphics boost was still worthy of being called a remaster.
When I went through a rough time in my life, Dark Souls is the thing that got me through it. The constant repetition of death and rebirth with moments of reprieve was a microcosm of existence, the point where everything could be fine again and eventually, it was fine again. Three years later than that, I want to sow my significant other this game I not only love, but may have saved my life, one she knows not only from reputation but from one Plague of Gripes video (I had to show her since I quote it in casual conversation) and its sad that the best I can say about what I've seen is that "Its on the Switch!" Golly dangit, just... golly dangit.
"Spoil yourself with an SSD" - dark souls has fixed loading screen length lol. if you speed up the game in cheat engine the loading screens go faster. SSD has exactly nothing to do with it
I havent played the original since it came out so I was excited to get the remaster and..... it's exactly how I remember but smoother and it was only 30 bucks so I'm happy.
"DS1 is a great game that all of us own & its 8 years old". so WTF are you GD Moron Idiots been Bitching & Crying for a Remaster for!?! LoL!... Get a F'in LIFE! & play games you haven't already played before 8 years ago!?!... LoL F me...
RawLu You're selling product not insulting with a paste and copy comment. Which this game wasn't meant for people who had played Dark Souls imo. If you hadn't played the game, go for it. And not everyone was crying for a remaster, not after it was confirmed. I don't see any changes that are significant and I was looking into it but not anymore. I know this is UA-cam. Dark Souls Remaster could had been done better. Your comment seems out of touch and not thought out truly with all due respect.
I mean, we don't actually have to acknowledge Rawlu's comment in the first place. It did a pretty good job at disqualifying itself for being taken seriously.
Im happy for darksouls remastered because since i play on Xbox and i live in a country where we don't exactly have Gamestops i wasn't able to play dark souls 1 if it wasn't for the remasterr (as far as im aware of) i wouldn't be able to experience the game.
I'm looking at IsThereAnyDeal.com's Price History for Steam, and it seems like Legendary Edition stopped having sales in February 2016, which was before the offer's announcement on June 2016. Individual DLCs have had very few sales after the offer's announcements, and never any sales as good as before the offer's announcement. Seems like getting all DLC would cost $35 at fewest between the offer announcement and end date, which is more expensive than the Dark Souls offer. Feel free to correct me if any of that is wrong.
Nathan B can't take a joke can we? Don't go to the comments, littel boy. I'll call it a texture mod because all the other changes are so small I can't even seriously call it a improvement. Guess what... There was mods for those small things too. Hmm...
Michael C you're one of the people that would complain that it's the same game and at the same time complain if they made it different. Ffs if you don't like it don't buy it
I Symmetrik Loki 8 1: That's not what I'm saying or did. 2: comments & likes say other wise. 3: Argue with points. You suck at this. What I am saying is that It's a rip off selling something that is not improved on & that the mod community dose better. Did u even watch the video? Because I agree with the video on points. What I say is that the changes should have been there MANY years ago. That this is basically a 20$ patch with a half ass texture pack & that the changes don't change anything of value.
Not only was skyrim remastered free if you already owned skyrim on steam, they also didn't pull the old skyrim. You can still get and play the original if your system cant handle the upgrade or if you want to try all the old mids that havent been ported over yet.
*they also didn't pull the old skyrim* Bethesda didn't pull the old skyrim, but they definitely made sure so that people who knew that the old skyrim had better mods, support, and no paid mods being shoved down your throat, would have to pay extra inorder to purchase the old version of the game, at least on Steam. The game is hidden from the store unless you find a direct link for it, and that's before you realize that the game never goes on sale, so you either have to spend around $40 for a 7 year old game, or cave in and buy Special Edition that goes on sale frequently. Not any better, honestly.
They only gave it to you if you had all the DLC, also they did pull the Legendary Edition, which then meant you had to buy the older, vanilla game and all the DLC separately again, while the Special Edition was an all-in-one package. Clearly they were still steering you towards it. But I do agree, there's not reason to get rid of the older DS:PtD version on Steam, except to force new players to play the remaster.
This is why I buy physical copies of games. I still get to keep my original dark souls. Although I won't be playing it anytime soon but at least i have it
devils advocate abit, this remaster doesn't totally fuck up the engine and hours worth of mod development. so its great they didn't pull it. wit this they can get away with it abit more, but im still full heartedly against the decision. gonna loose alot of respect if from and namco keep on keepin' on like this.
The Cost comparison part against halo anniversary edition is even worse now because you can get SIX Remastered halo games for $40 on pc with the master chief collection (with even more new features and a significant number of bug fixes), or just one for $10.
Even Dark Souls 2 Sotfs was better, Graphical improvements stabilisation, DLC included movement of enemies and items so it's harder to play, difficulty changed balancing and so on and that was worth the price for Consoles anyway. But that price for a 6 year late patch I don't own a Pc I'm a console player and even that is insulting
but the point is its already possible so it technically doesn't change anything besides convenience. I unlocked target in Bloodborne a lot to be able to roll depending on the fight.
That's a very stupid comparison. Unlocking to roll versus locked on to quick step while in DS it's unlocked to omniroll or lock to roll in 4 directions. Very bad comparison.
The comparison is that you can do both of them if you choose to. Lock on if you need to attack and unlock for roll options. Same in both games. Of course I never had too much of an issue rolling in DS1, but there were times when I had tried to roll back and it rolled left/right
*Thanks Bandai Namco. From is not responsible for the Dark Souls IP and was not involved with Dark Souls Remastered. All of that Belongs to Bandai Namco. Same thing with Demon's Souls and Bloodborne belonging to Sony.
....the special edition that also comes with all of the DLCS. Of course, it'd be ridiculous to expect them to give you 40+ hours of new content (larger than a Dark souls game.) for free.
"if you owned skyrim, you got the remaster for free", nope, you had to own skyrim *and* all the dlc, i bought skyrim back in 2012 on steam and i still don't have the remaster
You mean shot in the back of the head with a 12 gauge shotgun like that testimony from the las vegas shooting? I wonder what he had to say. Sure must've weighted a lot on his mind if he was willing to dislocate his shoulder to pull the trigger in that position.
To be honest I'm shocked the didn't fully remaster the whole game theyve had at least 4 years to make the game look pretty instead we got Dark souls : cash grab edition
You mean remake? 'Cause if you change gameplay and rebuild graphics from scratch then that's a remake, not a remaster. Either way, a complete remake was just not realistic. It would be too much investment for a game that is really not that old.
CidGuerreiro1234 It's 8 years old. If it really was that big of an investment, they should've just left it alone, or done the few things that the video brings up to make it better, not much work. The fact they took the original off steam, including all the mods, pisses me off
joethetimelord , yes, that totally justifies utterly shitty bussiness practices, brilliant logic."Oh, are they selling day one patch for 20$? Guess they just gotta make their money somehow"It's the publisher's money. Go fuck yourself.
Boo Machine They're selling a product, take it or leave it. I'm seeing a remastered port of the original, which is exactly what they were advertising. Overblowing your expectations isn't their fault.
I shared this video on a DS facebook group and let me say that people is so damn conformist. They are just covering their ears and eyes and saying they`ll buy it anyway just because the name of the game is Dark Souls. I mantain my opinion tho. You are 100% right, Inferno.
The only reason I’m buying this game is because my brother has never played the original Dark Souls, and I refuse to buy a new system for one game. Or rather, a new old system
I'm a new DS player started with the remastered and you know like you can put your shield on your back? Wouldn't it be cool if that made you immune to backstab because you're technically trading frontal defense for back defense.
You'll have to first complete a secret qeust in _Dark Souls: Remastered_ which will turn Gwyn into a furry, thus giving him a tail. During the boss fight, cut that tail and sell it to the Firekeeper, who will allocate 1 carrot onto a _Minecraft_ save of your choosing. Then you use that carrot to get a roughly 20% chance to tame a horse.
Hold nothing in your hand and then try right clicking the horse while standing near it. It will probably kick you off a few times but when you see hearts coming from the horse, its tamed. Remember that you need a saddle to ride it around, or you could use a lead to pull it somewhere.
Sudden idea on how to fix backstabs in the Souls series!: Require the pursuer to have been walking for more than a second beforehand+ 10 second backstab cooldown? From?
Necroposter here. That's a terrible idea because after a BS, now the person can bumrush the other without fear of getting BS'd. A grabbox like in DS2/3 is much better.
Will I still be able to play original Dark Souls at least with the mods? You're right, the remaster is insulting. Scholar at least added new content and changed things around so that it feels like a new game, even if you played the original DS2. This is just a cash grab. Also, you forgot "making Bed of Chaos not shit" If they improved the entire Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith sections, that probably would have been worth 20 bucks.
That's fine at least. As long as wulf's mod works it should be ok, at least for a while. Of course, now that the original is no long available, the DS1 multiplayer base will continue to dwindle. Just like DS2 after Scholar came out :/
I considered SOTFS an insult. Just like PC players when I found out that the game came out on my platform and was "better" but I had to pay for a game I considered inferior to DS1 it pissed me off. It was how the game was "supposed to be played" so it annoyed me that I had to buy the game again to get that. And you can blame this on my console since it wasn't strong enough or whatever. Now it's happening that for console users this is a nice boost to our game, we can platinum it all over again. But for PC users it's just paying for something they should have had since the beginning. Either way, having to pay to make the game "better" is BS regardless, but at least you don't have to pay 40 bucks for it like I will.
I'm just pumped for portable Dark Souls on my Switch. Does anyone know if Bed of Chaos has been changed? If that was not fixed, then we've definitely got a problem here.
That's literally the only shitty thing they did. I played Dark Soul's Prepare to Die Edition with a shitton of Bugfix, Graphic and other stuff mods and it still wasn't the best. Dark Souls Remasterd is it. Just a bit more from some Modder and it will be even better. The only thing you need to do is to buy it for 20 bucks.
I've never made a video like this before. I'm kind of scared that I'm going to be murdered.

As long as you're not throwing us to Neo..
"texture mod" there are distinct engine changes. Though i do love when a non-programmer does a review with few knowledge of core engine functions and changes. I dont disagree the fact the remaster was a brick to the dick, but that doesnt mean its "bad". Just demoralizing in a sense, also "wrath" should throw things away from you, not launch them in the direction you face. It makes more sense this way. Honestly, maybe dark souls will finally be good for once.

If it’s but 8 years and I see “remaster” I’m expecting Halo anniversary not this
Halo anniversary shouldn’t be the odd one out, it should be the standard for remasters
Not So Melancholy No it shouldn't because by definition the Halo anniversary games arent remasters their remakes.
Spartan Studios why do you call it a remake? It's very clearly a remaster. Enhanced the visuals and added online for the multiplayer. That's all
Their remakes because they are built from the ground up on a new engine and assets, and they add new modes like forge. A typical remaster is just a port with shader and resolution updates.
Spartan Studios No, a bad remaster is just some port and shaders.
It's a good remaster because it dosen't change the story and the levels, enemies and weapons are the same. It literally has a function to change between old and new graphics with a press of a button.
A remake would be based of the same game and story but changing it alot in some areas. Either new gameplay mechanics or story rewriting.
Shadow of the colossus for the ps4 is a remaster.
Metroid zero mission and Metroid: Samus returns are remakes.
Spartan Studios it says REMASTER right on the store page for anniversary.
You're joking right?

Jokes aside I have no problem with how much Skyrim got sold, I knew 76 was gonna be a dumpster fire and decided to wait and watch before buying, decided not to buy it ever, and I got my enjoyment out of Fallout 4. Plus I've still always got 3 to go back to (as well as all the others), and I think it gets more of a bad rap then it deserves.
Broken Steel was pretty shit though, Creation Club is a scam, and I don't like Zenimax denying Obsidian royalties on New Vegas, though I'm not even terribly fond of Obsidian anymore after the travesty that was Pillars of Eternity 2...
It is indeed incredibly insulting that they aren't giving those who own the original on Steam the remastered version for free. Like Skyrim and Bioshock did.
That's my only issue with this really. It's obviously meant for the newer consoles but it should be free for people on PC that already have the game. It's greedy as hell to take down the old, cheaper game (that could be fixed with mods for the most part) to make people pay $40 for the "new game" or $20 for a patch.
Skyrim only gave you the special edition if you already had all of the dlc. Otherwise, I don't think you even got a discount. So yeah, either own all their dlc or shell out another 40 bucks.
It's still 20 bucks if you own fucking Dark Souls 1.
Desmond Most people who own DS and Skyrim have all of the DLCs. Dark Souls could have done the same.
If you drop about 100 dollars on dlc and get every single one, you get skyrim special edition for free. If you own Dark Souls for PC, you get the remaster half off. Neither is a good business practice but i'd rather pay 60 dollars then over 100.
Now let us wait eight years for the Dark Souls remaster remake.

"change the jump button" ... but.... they made that an option on the settings...
Honestly is they had just made the graphics better, fixed all the damn bugs, and made the covenant system actually work *glances at gravelord nito*, it would have been worth it. But to release it in the state it is in, AND remove dark sould from the steam store, that is unforgivable.
Attila The Pun Gravelord did work, but you only saw the red phantoms in NG+, but saw the messages in NG. And no one played past NG for long considering that the difficulty spike an insane amount in NG+
was it supposed to work this way? we don't really know. If it was thats just stupid and needs to be changed anyway.
There was also no incentive to go to NG+. Unlike DS2 for example, where you could only get certain items in certain NG+s (bonfire ascetics didn't work for all of them).
The game comes out in 11 days. There is no "fixing all damn bugs"; that is not how programming works. Beside these fucking dipshits will always, ALWAYS find glitches. They ARE making the graphics better, it may not be a massive uplift, but it's a noticeable one so what in the actual fuck did you miss here? They're making changes to how multiplayer works and this video was made using the network test, here's to hoping it fixes the fucked up connectivity issues the original on PS3 and X360 had that even prevented consoles in the same house from finding each other.
Why would anybody expect this to be more than a remaster? What exactly is the outrage behind removing Dark Souls from Steam? That version was originally a GFWL, it's been a bitch trying to find if it was patched out cause somehow I found ways to to crack, pirate, and cheat than some useful fucking information on the subject. Not only that isn't the connectivity of the Steam port fucked just like the original? I sure as fuck wasn't going to play DS on steam for that last fact alone.
Riiswolf Calm down bud. Most people, my self included, expected a bit more than just a graphical update and fixing a few minor things. If they're gonna re release Dark Souls, there were a few very simple things they could've done to make the game even better. The fact that they are charging $40 for it on most platforms is what blows my mind, considering how little was actually changed
You brought up some fair points. For someone who already owned Dark Souls, this isn’t a very satisfying release. Though, for someone like me who’s never gotten the chance to play it in the past, it was really great. That’s mostly because I got it on Switch and it comes with those perks. I also got it nearly a year after release and from my understanding there were a few patches since then. To be honest though, there were some minor oddities I noticed, even never having played the original
From what I can tell. The Switch version is basically the PS3 version with stable 30 fps and a handheld mode though. So it's just a functional DS 1, which might actually be better than the remaster. I've seen some really weird changes to lighting in the other versions of remastered
As i'm a fan of Early Access games, my tendency to buying them pretty early faded off finally after a long time. This also translates to games that are released (mostly on Steam), which i buy quite a time after they "matured". This is dictated not only by the price (that for fresh releases is pretty high most of the time), but also due to some "patches" existing or mods to check out in the near future (if i ever like the game so much). Seeing as many current games are riddled with bugs, while some titles in EA have small amounts of them (if any), it's a strange comparison of games that "are made well" against those that are not...
Damn I had no idea about how little effort was put into this remaster. I guess the only consolidation is it'll revive the PvP?? But... it would've done that anyway.
Pretty disappointing, the exact opposite of this video
have you played it yet?
is there going to be an original Halo Wars awesome video?
The Act Man WHY...MY GOD, WHY do you people think they would waste time and money redoing the whole game just so they can release it on current consoles...that's retarded...your expecting waaaaaaaay to much here folks.....it's just not logical....bottom line...you folks are mad that it's not a new souls title and experience...it was never meant to be.
hello
no, I'm mad that they charge 20 bucks for it if you already own the game.
Wait so, this was a Skyrim advertisement the whole time??
I feel sad for people who defend companies that do this, the excuses they give to defend a poor job amazes me tho
OrionnEntity Well I think the remaster is amazing as a person who's only played it on the 360 years ago and loves pvp and coop. Don't weep for me.
Darrelvision97 x I understand you, yet I don’t agree with you. You are the kind From is looking for, who will accept it because compared with the 360 version it is a good enough version. Maybe sad was not the right word, what I mean is that it’s sad that a company can do such a poor job and still get defended because the only other version some played is a shithole compared
yah its dumb, they are the same sort of people that defend activision and EA.
Blame Bandai, From barely had any involvement in this. And I agree, people who let companies get away with half assed cash grabs like this is EXACTLY what is wrong with the gaming industry. Why be creative and make new games when you can milk nostalgia?
OrionnEntity - You haven't fucking _lost anything_ as it comes out. DS:R is a shiny port because that's what remasters _fucking are._ It might not be a great port, but it's hardly in the top twenty awful things a publisher has done in the past six months.
Now this is Dark Souls: Prepare to Refund Edition.

SotFS was like a year after the original reason to be fair. That's what irked a lot of people with it (along with it trying to improve the lighting, which the preview demo had a LOT better use of than the original DkS2, but also than Scholar)
Scholar of the First Sin improved the living shit out of 2, I guess
I still like more the original DS2 over Sotfs
I'm still angry over that. An arm and a leg it cost me with all the DLC, and then they go and release a paid patch at full price not a year later. Should've saved my money instead of wasting it on a glorified beta.
Edit: Those greedy sons of bitches.
Sotfs was incredible compared to base game, esp on console
Wait did I hear that right?
Dead angling *removed?*
does this mean they killed giant dad? good lord please tell me I’m misunderstanding something here
Yeah, that was a surprise. Dead angling to me was an interesting little mechanic that added a bit of strategy to the combat, as you had to know your weapons and positioning to exploit it. You'd think they would keep that and not instant chain back stabs. Which don't really need any skill to use. "Oh I pressed a button when I was in the generally vicinity of your back, and I took 80% of your health! I am the best!"
Wait... Can you explain dead angling? I've heard it before but I can't fully remember what it was.
To put it simply, its where your attack bypasses your opponent's shield due to the angle of the weapon's strike and the defending player's hitbox.
It typically favors wide sweeping weapons, as the game calculates that such attacks hit past the angle the shield is protecting.
Its technically an exploit, as it does take advantage of the game's hitbox calculations, but it was still an interesting detail and I would have preferred they expanded upon it.
Appley Animator it's a secret forbidden technique where you swing your zweihander (or similarly long weapon) not in the direction of your opponent, but to the right of him, to catch him with the part of the weapon hitbox. That way you will never be parried, because game think you missed him.
Чё Бля okay, thanks. I think I've accidentally done that to a few poor hollows as I panicked and started swinging my great club around like a mad man.
Honestly my biggest problem with all of this is the removal of Prepare to Die edition. There was literally no reason to do that besides greed.
Agreed. It sucks that I can't play DS1 with my friend cause we have different versions of the game. It sucks that people who didn't have Prepare to Die Edition probably won't get a chance to play any of the big mods for DS1. Just a lot of disappointment all around

Thank you for granting us eyes, Inferno! 🙏
granting us eyes? everyone saw this coming its just that people are retarded enough to waste 40 dollars for 6 player multiplayer and a new coat of paint.
^SWOOSH! That was the joke flying over your head.
Ah hah hah ha!! Ooh!! MAJESTIC!
Oh noes! Some random dude on the internet with lame sense of humor will see that i couldn't understand this poor excuse for a joke, what am i going to do with my life!
Awoo
Basically, we're paying for living Dark Souls servers. That's pretty much it.
But for that you just don't trash away all the game and replace it with a 40$ version
Yuka Mochida don't forget the crispy 60 fps
Yuka Mochida 60 fps without the dsfix glitches, i wont need to be scared of ladders and the drake's foot
friendlyelites I feel that.
and will probably still need mods to function properly
Also, original skyrim is still available.
Because hell, SKSE and thousands of thousands hours of modding would have been lost
1Lomi exactly. As much as people complain about SkyrimSE and paid mods, it ended up not rly effecting the fanbase. I never found a skyrim mod that i had to pay for after paid mods were implemended
Before you comment just remember, saying "if you don't like it don't play" is probably the worst thing you can say in this type of argument next to "if you think it's bad if like to see you try"
Alright! I won't follow that advice for EA games!
It's a real shame they never remastered demon souls instead
MM-528_HZ Let's just not stop hoping
+Dr Spicy 97 too bad petitions are useless
Idk. seems like the dark souls games were more popular. like majority didn't notice these games until ds1 was being called the most difficult game ever made (totally debatable, I heard demon souls was harder)
From has no right to that IP
You gotta ask Sony, but they switched off the multiplayer for Demon's Souls already so I guess it's dead
Apparently Bluepoint is working on a remake that is "bigger than Shadow of the Colossus". It could be Demon's Souls, or it could be something else. Just the fact that they're remaking older games still gives us a tiny beam of hope that Demon's Souls might be remade or remastered someday.
*why are people just now getting disappointed they literally listed everything they were going to do right after they announced it months ago.....* i just wish they redid the graphics...but i guess that requires work
They didn't list a price or the fact they were removing the original from Steam months ago.
Nah, they first started with "nothing changes except graphics and framerate"
'Technically' they redid the graphics, although without improved models and rendering engines, the slightly higher res textures look almost no different, there are even still stretched textures when some NPC's look upwards and show their neck a little bit
Even then they really probably didn't redo the graphics, most of the time when you make these things you make them in a higher resolution you plan to use for a situation like this when you can use improved tech. So all they had to do was take the textures they made originally and slap em on in the right place
It honestly makes sense to remove the outdated version when the new one hits. The old and new player base won't and can't be matched (more phantoms), it'll fragment it further. It avoids consumer confusion; as much as we want to think that people understand that one copy is older and one is newer, there'd still be people buying the "wrong" version and complaining that there's multiple versions available. There's other reasons, if you think critically about it, you can come to those yourself. Do PC players need to upgrade yet? Probably not, wait for a sale to get it cheaper.
Dark Souls:
The Fire Fades Edition (Literally)
This video certainly doesn’t deserve the hate it seems to be getting. I’m a huge DS fan, 400+ hours on steam. Why does the community act so sensitive when someone criticizes the game, or in this case a half assed remaster that isn’t out yet? I was upset to learn that the original will be removed from steam, but that made me like the video because it’s valuable knowledge.
+patrick because in their eyes Dark souls is a complete masterpiece nothing wrong, which is why if you say "i prefer DS2" like i do they'll start jumping on you spouting how you are a complete scrub or need to "git gud" because i didnt care for DS1. once got into an argument about that it is not fun since they don't even use the most logical of arguments
600+h here for DS3 myself.
DS: Remastered is shit. As the playerbase currently is showing.
steamcharts.com/app/570940
It had 16.000 players on launch. Now it has hardly 720.
@Oligoden i was expecting a remaster, a graphical update at the least, im sorry but all they did was fix some issues you could've patched in the original game, im not spending 40 bucks on a game with new lighting doesnt even do anything
Agreed. I bought Dark Souls remastered for my Switch just so I could play it while on the go.
@@Rammkommando no that is not what their thinking, what they are thinking is its not because they fucked with dark souls, but because the remaster is overall... kind of terrible. like objectively more terrible than the original ds1. and i have played all the games, ds3 is my fave and props to you if you like ds2, im not in that camp but did enjoy my play-through of it.
they promised a remaster that added more bugs, didn't fix some of the old problems, and the graphics weren't as improved as they could have been, that is all im saying, not trying to lampoon you, have a nice day
Sadly...I wholeheartedly agree with the points you made. Lazy ass development, no matter how you look at it. They could have done so much more instead of giving us a game as broken as it was nearly a decade ago. I would of rather had a half-assed Demon's Souls "remaster" opposed to this.
StrayKurtis so what you want is a Remake.
Fixing known bugs ,improving already existing mechanics and change little things that can be changed with fix and updates doesnt make it a remake . remaster doesn't mean just a graphic update
Thinking the same
Sure, guess whatever you want, you should just go for a "patch note" to see all the changes (ergonomy..), in addition of the graphics one.
As Kevlodin stated, it is entirely possible to make improvements to existing mechanics and fix bugs(which have been known for nearly a decade) without requiring a "remake." As a developer I would never expect to do half assed work and be paid in full by arguing semantics(REEEEEEmaster _not_ remake), yet so many people justify this sort of thing from game devs and publishers all the time. I understand some people only seeing DSRE through through their nostalgia goggles, but at some point we have to accept this for what it is: lazy.
To be fair, to get special edition for free you had to own either the complete edition of the original Skyrim, or base Skyrim and all 3 DLCs. If you own only the base Skyrim and no DLCs like I did, it was full price.
Duncan Hansel yeah but sykrim se was the base game and all the dlcs which makes sense either way its still 10 times better than this
Yeah, that was bullshit, because I had to essentially buy all three dlcs for 30 to 40 bucks (and I had paid the game 5 bucks) so yeah, that was a no no for me.
And adding insult to injury: paid mods.
I mean, if you owned Skyrim but didn't own any of the DLCs then SE probably didn't mean much anyway. If they gave SE for only owning the base game then they'd have made far fewer sales.
I still paid full price on Xbox
The crowned one Who will stop you from playing "superior" version for free at 2160p 144fps? Nobody forces you to buy "inferior" version.
As a console player on PS4, I'm just happy to be able to play the game again, since I don't even know where my old 360 is or my copy of dks1, and I generally prefer having it on PS4 anyway.
However, I fully agree with just about everything here aside from maybe omnidirectional rolling, since that would be a disaster with Dks1's backstab system, also, I'm 99% sure the controls are freely bindable in remaster as well.
I'll take janky backstabs over trying to roll past a boss and instead rolling directly into him and dying...multiple times
Then just unlock, you can still omnidirectional roll, it's just more awkward (makes it even more baffling they didn't implement it, but whatever)
Reapy_s0ul He didn’t make the video for console players, nobody needed your opinion. You’re safe.
when I say omnidirectional rolling would be a bad idea, I mean that backstabs would be even easier to perform than they already are, I generally think that they're a good idea in other games, but not with dks1's instant backstab system.
@KeepingMyPeace
me being on console doesn't change the fact that a lot of the changes Inferno proposed would have made the game far better, no harm in me agreeing with that.
also what do you mean by "You're safe"? you say it like the world is ending for PC players, like it's a massive issue for them. most PC players already have the game and thus this doesn't affect them, they don't have to buy it and shouldn't if they don't feel like it's worth it, the main group of people getting shafted are people on PC buying the game for the first time, as the remaster isn't worth $40 in the slightest, especially if you could get the original for a lot cheaper before and then mod it. actually, why not pirate the original at that point, it's not like the devs give a fuck, seeing as they took it off steam, the main thing you're losing out on there is the functionality of steam itself, and maybe some peace of mind.
I never owned the original dark souls, so dark souls remastered was totally worth it for me
Same too bad it’s dead. I really wanted to experience this game in its prime
Im pc gamer and I have bought it, im not dissapointed...the pc port for the original version was a garbage, so i was happy for the remastered version😄
Shizno I mean, 2000 players doesn’t really count as dead. You can still invade people and get invaded and summon
Shizno prepare to die has a couple hundred
Trichinosis that’s worldwide though. My region is practically dead and I can’t worldwide because of my poor connection.
The lack of gameplay and that one DS remaster photo led us to believe that the lighting and textures would be overhauled greatly. This is a 7 year game (it looks it), and although it's my favourite game of all time, I am beyond disappointed with it. Today the graphics don't really hold up, especially considering they've been greatly improved upon from DS2+3 and Bloodbourne, so the least they could do is have comparable graphics as it looks like a total downgrade in the remaster.
A lot of people saying dur it's a remaster not a remake durr. The fact of the matter is, DS fans are a die hard community of gamers and they love this game to bits, they feel as though they've been cheated to a certain extent, because not enough effort has been put into this remaster. For PC gamers it's a joke, the results you can get from DSfix is identical to the remaster besides some mediocre effects. When you see what was done with the recent Burnout remaster you can see why fans are disappointed. Burnout was not a complete remake, but they remastered enough pieces of it for it to be legitimately called 'a remaster.' Skyrim remastered done enough in the regard also.
In my opinion you can't just say "yep, we'll boost the resolution and add a few effects in", and call it a remaster. Then have the audacity to ask people to pay for it even though the original port was almost unplayable on PC, it should have been free for PC gamers.
P Holmes If you didn't know they were all made in different engines, so they aren't gonna look on par with DS2 or DS3, don't comment if you don't even really know what you are saying yourself.
The graphics hold of for me.. they are still really good, doom and wolfenstein still look great today aswell if you are all about graphics then go watch a movie.. games are about gameplay, gameplay and gameplay with a cool sprite animation added sometimes..
If I'm all about graphics I wouldn't have Dark Souls listed as my "favourite all time game", would I? Have a read at my post again and maybe you'll come to a different conclusion on my view-point...
Ugh So many salty casuls talking shit about the remaster even though they haven't played the full release yet. This is the reason why I hate the souls community. Even when they pretty much listened to whiners like this guy here they still aren't satisfied. If you don't like it then don't buy it!
You're an idiot
I don't know what people expected, this is a lazy cashgrab from Bamco that was made with close to zero involvement of From
"DS1 is a great game that all of us own & its 8 years old". so WTF are you GD Moron Idiots been Bitching & Crying for a Remaster for!?! LoL!...
Get a F'in LIFE! & play games you haven't already played before 8 years ago!?!... LoL F me...
Oooooh this is gonna be so good.
Edit: Oooooh this was so good.
Inferno I love watching your videos but comon man...
1) All the original mods and "care and love" as you said has already been proved to be easily transferable to the remaster.
2) You know damn well that $20 isn't fucking dick. $20 is the cost of lunch for an adult.
3) Comparing Halo or Skyrim to Dark Souls isn't apples to apples. I love Souls, but it's an undeniable fact that Souls has always had a niche following, and I know you shit on Bandai already but being serious if it wasn't for Bandai we wouldn't even have souls because From Soft has given zero fucks about the western audience until recently and if we're speaking frankly, even Bandai's following is literally fucking nothing compared to what Microsoft or Bethesda have.
4) I hate doing this but I need to address your final points. 1: It's literally in the game controls. 2: Separate game engine entirely, might as well re-build DS1 from scratch at that point. 3: Haven't paid too much attention on my mage but I think it looks fine. 4,5,6: Agreed. 6: You can, there's no invasions, but you can summon. 7+ & beyond you're being a nitpicky bitch so I'm gonna ignore em.
5) At the end of the day here are my thoughts. They took a niche cult following game that grew more than they ever expected and cleaned up the original to re-release to others. They made easy fixes, but a lot of those easy fixes overall had a pretty significant impact when they're all added together, especially the multiplayer which was dick without a 3rd party program. With a larger audience than ever before, for once when you invade in the forest you don't know if you'll get an actual PvP match or a gank squad cancer session, which is beautiful. At the end of the day it comes down to this: I've already sunken ~80+ hrs into the remaster, which comes out to $0.50 per hour of entertainment. Sounds like a damn good bargain to me.
I'll buy you a damn copy if you think it's bad, and if you enjoy it, I expect a video explaining why you enjoy it with a shameless plug for me :-P
I agree it's not perfect but to say it's insulting is pandering to the bandwagon of haters. Your channel and videos are usually aimed to generate salt, but it's obvious that you embrace fun and good times. Disappointed that that wasn't the case here.
It would have been great if they had changed these things as well:
1. Fix backstabs
2. Fix backstabs
3. Fix backstabs
This games pvp could have actually been improved with such a simple change. What a shame.
Edit: What the fuck I've never had this many likes for a comment
Josh Jones Honestly can't believe they put such a emphasis on larger/more frequent PVP encounters if the game has huge mechanical flaws that disrupt any sort of balance.
I love backstabs because of the amount of tech it spawned. The only way to counter how OP it is is to play a meta build sadly. Another thing is how one handed and strength weapons for the most part are useless. Two handed is dominant as there is a hidden 75% block modifier ontop of current damage resistances. The biggest danger is stamina, which is easily avoided with green blossom
Eh how ds1 was, hated it but what everyone asked for, would've loved that fix tho :/ but no spilled milk everyone will readjust back
It's funny they didn't improve the PvP very much since the online component is the only thing they put more than a day's work into.
The Story Theorist bloodborne got damn near everything right, such a great game and experience
I never got a chance to play the original, because I got into this series later on ( I don't have a gaming pc and my ps3 broke)
So for me I am happy just to get a chance to play the game. But I understand how it can be frustratingly similar to those who already owned the game.
This Guy I cant wait that long. I am pretty hyped to finally play this game
This Guy
It is. I've played it. I didn't mention earlier but my ps3 broke during my playthrough. And the amount of time I got to play it, I loved every second of it. But it's okay if you don't like it. We all have different opinions.
You could buy it right now on Steam, that's what I did and I didn't have to install anything else to make it work. It just worked. (but I don't care about having 60 FPS so that's why I'm not using ds-fix). Apparently we get to have 50% off on the Remaster when it releases, but you'd have to verify that.
Sam
Like I said in my comment. I don't have a gaming pc. I only have this average laptop I use for schoolwork and just browsing the internet. It can't really handle any hardcore gaming
Oops I missed that!
Top 10 Screeches in Dark Souls needs to be redone.
Number 1 is obviously the fanbase's reaction to DSR.
Finally someone who's not a dolt
Someone tries to sell you a dog turd for 20 dollars. You make a video telling people this guy is selling dog turds for 20 dollars. You outline what 20 dollars could get you elsewhere and what this particular guy could do better for that price point. You do this while hordes of uninformed or apathetic consumers try to rip your throat out for talking shit about their dog turds.
This is entitlement.
This is the state of the gaming industry.
If they could've fixed these problems, they would've done it the first time round. Or the second. Or the community would've found a fix in the seven years it's been out.
I like this post
"This dog turd is not worth 20 dollars" OH MY GOD STOP CRYING YOU ENTITLED BITCH
ok. I still fail to see how outlining the flaws with a subpar product is entitlement. I do not understand how saying "I am not buying this thing and here are the reasons why I think you shouldn't" is entitlement, although the nice strawman you built nicely avoided any of those reasons so I guess that is no concern of yours.
I guess our disagreement lies in your last sentence. I do believe people that pay 20 dollars for something are owed 20 dollars worth of something. Videos like these along with the rest of the community outcry just show that people do not think they are getting what they pay for, and I can't fathom how it can be a bad thing for a community to try to demand more bang for their buck. We are all videogame consumers in the end.
We already see the devaluation of the concept of a remaster in the examples given in the video. Wonder what the "plebs" will let them get away with next time.

@@trythrusting9980 have u even played ds1 is looks 100x better they didnt want to change anything it's a remaster up the graphics stop complaining

Plenty of remasters does more than just a simple 60 fps and trying to up the texture/graphic but overall downgrading the game.

Broken Souls Remastered
Yeah.. this remake looks very lackluster and uninspired and it's a dick move that we can't play the original DS1 online anymore. But they had to do it right? Why else would we spend 40 dollars on a remake, that from everything I've seen and heard is worse than the 'remade' and modded DS1 we already have. Greedy bastards!
are we going to have to pay for ds remastered?
or if we own it we will get it for free?
im thinking about the first option... since nothing is free in 2018 anyways
If you want to play, you'll have to pay.
For the price of just 40 dollars, you can now buy a lesser version of the game you already had.
Isn't that exciting!?
Thanks Bandai Namco, you're the BEST!
Bandai Namco confirmed that there will be no discount on PC :

CLOTH PHYSICS WAS THE ONE THING I WAS REALLY HOPING FOR MAN COME OOOOOOON
10:30 my favourite part is that it makes the game 64 bit, reducing lag, and allowing you to install waaaay more mods.
Obviously don't buy on pc
But on ps4, all those squekers going through ds1 for the first time.
It's gonna be a BLOODY GOOD TIME!!!
MoeHolyGhost I'd be more prepared towards facing ps3 players, that played the game once it first came out. I'd buy this if I still didn't have my PS3 and Dark Souls copy. As for the revamped PVP; I never much cared for that mechanic anyways. All the PVP modes in the souls games (Mind DKS2:SOTFS) were lagfests, which usually resulted in you being killed from nothing at all.
In my opinion the only point of buying it on PC is for online, same thing will happen on PC. For a lot of people on PC DS3 was their first souls game and they likely didn't play DS1/DS2 after that. It will be a bloody good time as well.
At first I was confused when you said they gave Skyrim Remastered to those who owned the original Skyrim for free. Then I realized and saw it was if you owned every DLC.
I almost had every DLC.
Except the Hearthfire one.
The one about building houses and stuff that I had no interest whatsoever in that may as well have been a mod.
*REEEEEEEEEEE--*
Alpha Dumast well special edition comes with all dlc so.. I'd expect you weren't getting that much of an upgrade for no money.
Hearth fire was ight
Calm down daequan 😂😂😂
but the most important question is ...
was the sniper crossbow buffed?
My guy yes ok asking the real questions
yes ok .
come on people show the witcher 2 some love,CD project red also gave out the enhanced edition to the original pc owners for free and the graphics boost was still worthy of being called a remaster.
When I went through a rough time in my life, Dark Souls is the thing that got me through it. The constant repetition of death and rebirth with moments of reprieve was a microcosm of existence, the point where everything could be fine again and eventually, it was fine again.
Three years later than that, I want to sow my significant other this game I not only love, but may have saved my life, one she knows not only from reputation but from one Plague of Gripes video (I had to show her since I quote it in casual conversation) and its sad that the best I can say about what I've seen is that "Its on the Switch!" Golly dangit, just... golly dangit.
I'm surprised they let us keep leveling up at bonfires.
InMaTeofDeath but i love having to sit through multiple loading screens to talk to some emotionless waifu >.>
Al Gogh Rythm I have a SSD and I'll always take 0 loading screens over faster ones.
I was replying to Matthew. But yeah, there's a huge difference. The PS4 has an agonizingly slow drive.
"Spoil yourself with an SSD" - dark souls has fixed loading screen length lol. if you speed up the game in cheat engine the loading screens go faster. SSD has exactly nothing to do with it
Keter I googled this because it sounded like nonsense. Do you know what an SSD does?
I think youre wrong about one thing. We can expect to see patches in DSR. Most likely in the catacombs and the tomb of giants.
I havent played the original since it came out so I was excited to get the remaster and..... it's exactly how I remember but smoother and it was only 30 bucks so I'm happy.
good for you, hope you enjoy
Hope you enjoyed the worse lighting
I just wanted darksouls 3 character creator
sorry, too much work
@_STOP_ - What's wrong with DS1's character creation?
I think they mean all the extra features like saving presets and such. Of course, DS3 also has better models and more options in every regard.
The Mean Arena I don't know...because it's fucking dogshit?
*spends 32 hours trying to make a girl character that doesn't look like it came out of the radioactive dump.

"I'm mad because you complain" lmao is it not okay to have an opinion about a games remaster because we have the option to play the old one?
RawLu You're selling product not insulting with a paste and copy comment. Which this game wasn't meant for people who had played Dark Souls imo. If you hadn't played the game, go for it. And not everyone was crying for a remaster, not after it was confirmed. I don't see any changes that are significant and I was looking into it but not anymore. I know this is UA-cam. Dark Souls Remaster could had been done better. Your comment seems out of touch and not thought out truly with all due respect.
I mean, we don't actually have to acknowledge Rawlu's comment in the first place.
It did a pretty good job at disqualifying itself for being taken seriously.
SimplyMav True.
Im happy for darksouls remastered because since i play on Xbox and i live in a country where we don't exactly have Gamestops i wasn't able to play dark souls 1 if it wasn't for the remasterr (as far as im aware of) i wouldn't be able to experience the game.
Very late, but I am happy for you.

If you owned Skyrim and ALL of the DLC THEN you got it for free.
Jade Merrydown yeah if you didn't have that dlc for house building you still are stuck with the original.
the skyrim legendary edition costs like 3 dollars in every steam sale.
I'm looking at IsThereAnyDeal.com's Price History for Steam, and it seems like Legendary Edition stopped having sales in February 2016, which was before the offer's announcement on June 2016. Individual DLCs have had very few sales after the offer's announcements, and never any sales as good as before the offer's announcement. Seems like getting all DLC would cost $35 at fewest between the offer announcement and end date, which is more expensive than the Dark Souls offer. Feel free to correct me if any of that is wrong.
You could pickup the legendary edition or the dlc's extremely cheap from key sellers.
The dlc was like $5. I know as far as dlcs go, it's not much but 5 bucks is pretty fair for what it was.
Dam expensive for a texture mod.
Nathan B can't take a joke can we? Don't go to the comments, littel boy. I'll call it a texture mod because all the other changes are so small I can't even seriously call it a improvement. Guess what... There was mods for those small things too. Hmm...
Michael C you're one of the people that would complain that it's the same game and at the same time complain if they made it different. Ffs if you don't like it don't buy it
I Symmetrik Loki 8 1: That's not what I'm saying or did. 2: comments & likes say other wise. 3: Argue with points. You suck at this. What I am saying is that It's a rip off selling something that is not improved on & that the mod community dose better. Did u even watch the video? Because I agree with the video on points. What I say is that the changes should have been there MANY years ago. That this is basically a 20$ patch with a half ass texture pack & that the changes don't change anything of value.
I Symmetrik Loki 8 btw. If you are going to name your self loki (An clever character) show some intelligence instead of arguing like Thore.
Not only was skyrim remastered free if you already owned skyrim on steam, they also didn't pull the old skyrim. You can still get and play the original if your system cant handle the upgrade or if you want to try all the old mids that havent been ported over yet.
*they also didn't pull the old skyrim*
Bethesda didn't pull the old skyrim, but they definitely made sure so that people who knew that the old skyrim had better mods, support, and no paid mods being shoved down your throat, would have to pay extra inorder to purchase the old version of the game, at least on Steam. The game is hidden from the store unless you find a direct link for it, and that's before you realize that the game never goes on sale, so you either have to spend around $40 for a 7 year old game, or cave in and buy Special Edition that goes on sale frequently.
Not any better, honestly.
They only gave it to you if you had all the DLC, also they did pull the Legendary Edition, which then meant you had to buy the older, vanilla game and all the DLC separately again, while the Special Edition was an all-in-one package. Clearly they were still steering you towards it. But I do agree, there's not reason to get rid of the older DS:PtD version on Steam, except to force new players to play the remaster.
This is why I buy physical copies of games. I still get to keep my original dark souls. Although I won't be playing it anytime soon but at least i have it
devils advocate abit, this remaster doesn't totally fuck up the engine and hours worth of mod development. so its great they didn't pull it. wit this they can get away with it abit more, but im still full heartedly against the decision. gonna loose alot of respect if from and namco keep on keepin' on like this.
Bakaloid that why I bought it on g2a not supporting Bethesdas bullshit. Also pirated the mods.
Oblivious newcomers vs. Min-maxing vets.

As someone who only owns a PS4 and didn’t play the original, I’m looking forward to DS Remastered.
Wait MidAir on steam?
Did they just release a free version of Tribes and nobody told me ?
SHAZBOT
I never understood tribes
Yahyia Selman because you were too slow

Fuck off. lol
The Cost comparison part against halo anniversary edition is even worse now because you can get SIX Remastered halo games for $40 on pc with the master chief collection (with even more new features and a significant number of bug fixes), or just one for $10.
Never played a Halo game. Should I get the Master Chief collection on Steam and play them all?
Even Dark Souls 2 Sotfs was better, Graphical improvements stabilisation, DLC included movement of enemies and items so it's harder to play, difficulty changed balancing and so on and that was worth the price for Consoles anyway. But that price for a 6 year late patch I don't own a Pc I'm a console player and even that is insulting
Wait, they're taking it off steam?
Just... why
viaxon6 One, it already got taken off steam weeks ago. Two, the original is objectively worse in every possible way.
viaxon6 $$$$$$$$
BECAUSE FUCK YOU GIMMEH MONY
The original with fan made patch are better than remaster and cheaper.
Cuz if they didn't no one would buy this abomination.
Omnidirectional rolling would definitely affect gameplay. Not saying it shouldn't have been added, but it's odd you implied it wouldn't.
but can't you already do that if you are not locked on to a target? Technically it would be the same I think.
Yeah. You can roll any direction, if you're a robot with two thumbs on your right hand.
but the point is its already possible so it technically doesn't change anything besides convenience. I unlocked target in Bloodborne a lot to be able to roll depending on the fight.
That's a very stupid comparison. Unlocking to roll versus locked on to quick step while in DS it's unlocked to omniroll or lock to roll in 4 directions. Very bad comparison.
The comparison is that you can do both of them if you choose to. Lock on if you need to attack and unlock for roll options. Same in both games. Of course I never had too much of an issue rolling in DS1, but there were times when I had tried to roll back and it rolled left/right
It's 2021 and nearly impossible to find PtDE for any platform. Thanks, Fromsoft.
*Thanks Bandai Namco. From is not responsible for the Dark Souls IP and was not involved with Dark Souls Remastered. All of that Belongs to Bandai Namco. Same thing with Demon's Souls and Bloodborne belonging to Sony.
@@sodecdash9336fromsoftware kind of belongs to bandai namco,so his statement aint wrong.
Funny that you compare SSE to DSR, since the name Miyazaki is just Japanese for Todd Howard.
Commander Phoenix from soft don't make this
It’s a meme you dips
Scrupulous Skeleton
It's a joke you dipshit
I disagree. Todd Howard has oversold some stuff but he has always been quite active in having a discourse with the community. Miyazaki not

Oversold what? Skyrim (not counting VR versions) has the same number of ports as DSR.
They added the instant-estus selection by holding d-pad Down like in DS3
Correction: If you owned Skyrim AND all of the DLC, you got Special Edition for free.
....the special edition that also comes with all of the DLCS. Of course, it'd be ridiculous to expect them to give you 40+ hours of new content (larger than a Dark souls game.) for free.
Larger than a Dark souls? those motherfuckers take 100 hours out of me.
Jack Garcia but why? They are short 26hr max games
It took me 30 hours and I did restart a couple times (after 3 hours). Though I didn't do the DLC stuff.
You just did the main story right?
"if you owned skyrim, you got the remaster for free", nope, you had to own skyrim *and* all the dlc, i bought skyrim back in 2012 on steam and i still don't have the remaster
inb4 Bamco sees this and mysteriously In🅱erno+ is found hanging in his closet with no foul play suspected
Butchimus found shot 3 times in the chest *labeled as a suicide*
You mean shot in the back of the head with a 12 gauge shotgun like that testimony from the las vegas shooting?
I wonder what he had to say.
Sure must've weighted a lot on his mind if he was willing to dislocate his shoulder to pull the trigger in that position.
To be honest I'm shocked the didn't fully remaster the whole game theyve had at least 4 years to make the game look pretty instead we got Dark souls : cash grab edition
You mean remake? 'Cause if you change gameplay and rebuild graphics from scratch then that's a remake, not a remaster. Either way, a complete remake was just not realistic. It would be too much investment for a game that is really not that old.
CidGuerreiro1234 It's 8 years old. If it really was that big of an investment, they should've just left it alone, or done the few things that the video brings up to make it better, not much work. The fact they took the original off steam, including all the mods, pisses me off
It's like they're spending all that time and money working on a new game or something.
joethetimelord , yes, that totally justifies utterly shitty bussiness practices, brilliant logic."Oh, are they selling day one patch for 20$? Guess they just gotta make their money somehow"It's the publisher's money.
Go fuck yourself.
Boo Machine They're selling a product, take it or leave it. I'm seeing a remastered port of the original, which is exactly what they were advertising. Overblowing your expectations isn't their fault.
I shared this video on a DS facebook group and let me say that people is so damn conformist. They are just covering their ears and eyes and saying they`ll buy it anyway just because the name of the game is Dark Souls. I mantain my opinion tho. You are 100% right, Inferno.
Cliperinho I feel u bro
The only reason I’m buying this game is because my brother has never played the original Dark Souls, and I refuse to buy a new system for one game. Or rather, a new old system
I've seen the opposite. Everyone is raging.
Hansomecookie what system do you own?
MultiSonicdude I’ve had a PS4 since it came out, but after I went off to college my brother bought an Xbox for some reason so I have both.
I'm a new DS player started with the remastered and you know like you can put your shield on your back? Wouldn't it be cool if that made you immune to backstab because you're technically trading frontal defense for back defense.
The bugs are features :P
hmm mean while I've seen a levitating Iron Golem and a Moonlight butterfly that went off it's rail...
William u seem hurt
Lucky yesssssss u understand
skyrim fans embrace this comment
DSR*
I mean... at least we get portable Dark Souls out of this...?
catbeweird meh
catbeweird nobody plays that
Yeah but that's been delayed to the fall
Does playing it on a laptop count as portable?
1un4cy yup
Does anybody know how to tame a horse in minecraft?
snow potato pork chops Try apples or sugar, I guess it uses those items to tame.
:)
Yeah but you need to git gud first
You'll have to first complete a secret qeust in _Dark Souls: Remastered_ which will turn Gwyn into a furry, thus giving him a tail. During the boss fight, cut that tail and sell it to the Firekeeper, who will allocate 1 carrot onto a _Minecraft_ save of your choosing. Then you use that carrot to get a roughly 20% chance to tame a horse.
Hold nothing in your hand and then try right clicking the horse while standing near it. It will probably kick you off a few times but when you see hearts coming from the horse, its tamed. Remember that you need a saddle to ride it around, or you could use a lead to pull it somewhere.
Sudden idea on how to fix backstabs in the Souls series!: Require the pursuer to have been walking for more than a second beforehand+ 10 second backstab cooldown?
From?
Necroposter here. That's a terrible idea because after a BS, now the person can bumrush the other without fear of getting BS'd. A grabbox like in DS2/3 is much better.
Will I still be able to play original Dark Souls at least with the mods? You're right, the remaster is insulting. Scholar at least added new content and changed things around so that it feels like a new game, even if you played the original DS2. This is just a cash grab.
Also, you forgot "making Bed of Chaos not shit"
If they improved the entire Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith sections, that probably would have been worth 20 bucks.
If you have the original version, you can still play it. You just can't buy the original any more.
That's fine at least. As long as wulf's mod works it should be ok, at least for a while. Of course, now that the original is no long available, the DS1 multiplayer base will continue to dwindle. Just like DS2 after Scholar came out :/
I considered SOTFS an insult. Just like PC players when I found out that the game came out on my platform and was "better" but I had to pay for a game I considered inferior to DS1 it pissed me off.
It was how the game was "supposed to be played" so it annoyed me that I had to buy the game again to get that. And you can blame this on my console since it wasn't strong enough or whatever. Now it's happening that for console users this is a nice boost to our game, we can platinum it all over again. But for PC users it's just paying for something they should have had since the beginning.
Either way, having to pay to make the game "better" is BS regardless, but at least you don't have to pay 40 bucks for it like I will.
I'm just pumped for portable Dark Souls on my Switch.
Does anyone know if Bed of Chaos has been changed? If that was not fixed, then we've definitely got a problem here.
Jordan Neal of course not
Jordan Neal Yeah, I don't think so.
Works as intended.
If Bed of Chaos and Blighttown have not been fixed i am going to riot.
So I should get Halo anniversary instead of dark souls remastered?
Actually, if you have the console and you enjoy the genre, totally, it was worth the price and if you have a bud to play with, you can co-op.
Don't count your chickens Raptor... 343 might fail to fix it like they always seem to fail at just about everything...
I wish I owned dark souls 1 on steam :') I never got around to buying it and now I'm stuck with getting remastered if I want to buy it
That's literally the only shitty thing they did.
I played Dark Soul's Prepare to Die Edition with a shitton of Bugfix, Graphic and other stuff mods and it still wasn't the best.
Dark Souls Remasterd is it. Just a bit more from some Modder and it will be even better.
The only thing you need to do is to buy it for 20 bucks.

Skip this garbage. It was never worth it.
You should still be able to buy the original from places like cdkeys, kinguin, g2a, etc
@@YourLocalRaccoon they are expensive as fuck 160€ minimum.
