I can't decide on whether to pick this up or not. I keep flip-flopping. I played this back when it first launched on consoles and had a lot of fun with it. Played about 180 hours or so, never went back to it after a few playthroughs. I never played the Artorias DLC as that came out after I was done.

I flip flopped for a bit and ultimately decided on a pass. Even without playing artorias, 60$ is a tall order for marginal improvements and some dlc. If you're deadset, I'd say just pick up the dlc and play on the original.

Can't wait. I've preordered it but I'm waiting for a confirmation to have it tomorrow or Thursday. Also I have Friday off and told my GF that this the next weekend will be for hardcore/no sleeping gaming lol.

Does anyone know if DSR will have a separate achievement list from the 360 version?

The game is $40 on all platforms and people with Prepare to Die get 50% off on PC.

Right. Brain fart. Still, artorias is what, 15?

Depends I guess if you care about multiplayer which I don't, so that plays a factor.

I'm genuinely tempted, but I have Detroit coming out this week anyway.

Get something new and fresh instead of 40 for slightly better graphics and dlc. Go for Detroit.

I'm a huge dark souls fan and the thought of buying this hasn't crossed my mind once.

I think most people consider Artorias to be the best boss in the entire series.

I'm torn between picking this up (played it for hundreds of hours on both 360 and ps3) or the complete edition of DS3 (which I haven't played yet (but I've heard mixed things about).

Why not both? (;
Personally I would pick up Dark Souls 1 because the player base will be massive and super nostalgic. Dark Souls 3 is also amazing but this is Dark Souls 1 with another chance and it's polished af.

Lol both eventually, I'm too much of a Souls enthusiast not to, but I meant for right now. Admittedly, I've never played the DLC of 1.

Dark Souls 3 is an amazing game.

Those mixed comments youve heard are from folks who have just realized how iterative the Souls games (and by extension, From Software games) really are.

Still pissed/dissapointed that the Brain of Mensis concept (whivh I thought was insanely cool) is literally just a re-skinned Heart of Latria.
What I am looking for in Miyazaki's new game is another new concept (already a given) that is completely devoid of any throwbacks. All new ideas please.

Pretty excited for this. Played Bloodborne last month, my first Soulsborne game, and it easily skyrocketed to one of the best games I've ever played.

At a glance, Dark Souls doesn't look as interesting, as the setting is nowhere near as appealing to me. But I have faith in the devs and also the legacy this game has, I'm sure it's great

I played Bloodborne when I had little else on the PS4, felt exactly the same way about the Souls games. Dark Souls and Bloodborne now vie for the top spot in my list of best games!

I hope they didn't change covenant items drop rate. They were pretty generous in DkS1 after patches.
Also hoped for Aged-Feather-like item.

Damn. I thought this contains DS & DS II. It just contains the first part. So do I wait for a remaster of II, or just biy it from the store?

I'd go with DS3. It's a fantastic game that's marred only by the fact that it's the third in a franchise and therefore isn't as "fresh", and the level design is a little more linear than DS1 and 2. But if you've not played it before, it still wins out over replaying DS1.

I feel you. Not sure how much time I put in, but I never played the DLC. Went through a Souls series playthrough a little over a year ago, and I'm concerned it won't feel different/fresh enough to warrant the new purchase and playthrough. I'm also wondering if I should just hold out for the Switch version.

With the PC version + DSFix I don't personally see the point in buying the remaster for PC/PS4. I will keep an eye on the Switch version though, portable Souls is very enticing. I hope that version isn't a total disaster in terms of performance. I can do 30 fps no problem, but I hope it will be able to hold that frame rate consistently.

I'm attempting not to buy this since I'm yet to actually start DSIII after finishing every other game in the series in chronological order.

BB>DES>DS>DS3>Scholar>DS2 imo. Super excited to be apart of the community day 1 for this as I didn't have a pc at the time of release that could run DS at 60fps + mods. I am ashamed to say I never finished the ps3 version to completion so now's the time! Can't wait for Friday! Hope all you red phantoms out there gank me to give me the true get gud experience ;D
