GamingTrend:
Let me start this review out with a confession – I am a huge fan of both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls. The first was the game that got me back into PS3 gaming for good, and entertained me so much for so long that Dark Souls became a day one purchase for me on the same console. Sure enough, Dark Souls turned out to be utterly fantastic – a game that was punishingly difficult yet still felt somehow fair. A game with beautiful, dark world that you experienced more than merely learned about. And the gameplay? It was everything I could ask for. When I heard there was a petition to bring Dark Souls to the PC, I signed on immediately. When I heard that this petition actually succeeded, I was delighted. Being a PC guy first and foremost, this was an opportunity to show my PC gaming friends what I considered to be a masterpiece of gaming that they had missed out on. With my considerable bias on display here, I want to get into what’s going to be a pretty non-standard review.
"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."
