Forbes- Pirating ‘Dark Souls’ will send the wrong message, and is the wrong way to treat one of the greatest action-RPGs ever made.
Dark Souls was never about having the prettiest graphics in town. If you want pretty graphics, go buy The Witcher 2. If you want fierce, gripping combat and a seriously deep gameplay experience that The Witcher 2 could simply never hold a candle to, go buy Dark Souls. Just please don’t pirate it.
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

I primarily play PC.
But I owns Demons Souls.
I'd prefer to buy this on the PS3 over the PC. It just feels more..'right'.
Really no games "should" be pirated. I'm not trying to tell people what to do but I'm a firm believer in supporting developers you love. It's easy to save a few bucks and pick up a used copy of a game or even pirate it but i like to think if I buy games full price I'm giving the developers a reason to make more games the way I like. I appreciate atlus for taking risks a lot of great games would never have made their way oversees without them. I know atlus didn't distribute dark souls but without the risk atlus took bring demon souls to NA there's a good chance we wouldn't have seen this game either.
No win situation for PC gamers. If u pirate it they'll say too many people pirated it. If u don't buy it, they'll say it didn't sell well. My opinion is don't buy it or pirate it.

Good port, good port...
No money from me
Don't like GFWL because it's too much of a pain so I won't play this but it's worth noting that it would be easier to pirate it. That's just a fair point to make. However I have no intention of ever purchasing this game so it leaves me no choice other than to just not play it.
But generally - yeah you shouldn't pirate this. We cried like hell to get it, just be plain stupid to throw it back in their faces.
