Gamers petitioning against Dark Souls PC use of Games for Windows Live

Gamers demands the game be on Steam "or no sale".

ATi_Elite4397d ago

The Dark Souls Pubs are out of touch with the world of PC Gaming!

Why on Earth would they use GFWL? GFWL is the scourge of the Earth and PC Gamers HATE it! This is well known and well documented! Also how can you turn down Steam when Steam has shown to produce game sales and make Pubs/Devs a nice chunk of cash!

Hopefully they take note of the petitions and uproar and get rid of GFWL or at least do something to get a Steam release or a NON-GFWL version!

GFWL punishes you for buying a game!

I totally agree on this. For such a niche title as this, they (FROM/Bandai) more then any other publisher should know that GFWL is sh*t and that there are better ways to do it.

If you are going to do a job, then do a good one.

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.
