The real problem with DLC, quite apart from the fact it costs money, is that most developers don't give it enough TLC. Instead of feeling like extra content, it can feel like superfluous content. Dark Souls has always followed its own path. And with its new content, which comes as part of the PC's Prepare To Die Edition and will be available to buy on consoles soon, it shows just what DLC should be like - almost.
"Online features for the PC version of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (DX11) have been reactivated.
Online features for the base version of #DarkSouls II for PC (DX9) will be made available at a later date.
Our thanks for your continued patience and support."
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition saw the Souls series debut on PC 10 years ago today, alongside Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 re-releases.
Still use it as my go to on Steam, but I will never make the mistake of booting it up without mods ever again.
And it was garbage.
Luckily it was easily fixed by a modder who actually wanted a good product to be sold to people.
Dark Souls tweets: "PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services.
Servers for Dark Souls: PtDE will join them shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience."
