Sif hype! It always hurt to fight him (<3 animals [tha og mvp boss]). Bitter sweet when you fight Artorias. Super cool the expansion is is included.

Alright, I've looked everywhere.
How the heck does one buy this for PC?
Even the BandaiNamco website doesn't have it listed for PC.

might be a strange opinion... but i think it looks a little too clean with 60fps .-)
don´t get me wrong, 60fps is better than 30 and the stuttery mess that is Blighttown, but it has some sort of cheap look with the higher framerate...that is an effect i have with a few games and this here is one of them. Or maybe i have played too many hours in the inferior version that i can´t get my brain to adjust to this sort of smoothness for the game, haha. It is a little bit like watching a hollywood movie versus a soap opera: something feels cheap visually.
That's not so weird actually. I remember the reason nobody liked the higher framerate in the Hobbit movies is because it reminded them too much of soap operas and those cheap TV documentaries.
Maybe that's how the game looks to you, too. I did notice some of the animations look a little off in 60fps, which just makes me wonder if slower games like Dark Souls really need it.
1:17 That texture pop-in ;)
Yeah, maybe it get that cheepish feel like RE: Revolutions 2 but just think about DS2 which I probably played mostly due to 60 fps. I think you will adjust and not being able to go back.
However I'm concerned about if it's easier to parry? I tried DSfix recently and found it really easy to do. Is easy parry a DSfix- or 60fps-"problem"?

You smell that? it smells like death, suffering....and SunnyD.
I praise that the sun be with you brothers.
Too bad that ist seems confirmed the new lighting looses all kind of details on armor textures...
I mean just compare with this : https://youtu.be/ZfI-eC9HiYA?t=9m51s

it's hard to beat, I watched it so many times in the days leading up to the release
I'm torn with this. I'm not impressed by the Remaster, thry've done very little to improve it and I'd argue it's a port and not a Remaster. I have also replayed it twice in teh last 18 months, once on PS3 (so I could play with my mate) and once on PC wih dsfix.
On the other hand, I love this game and I can't get enough of it and the idea of having populated servers again for co-op massively appeals to me.
I've cancelled and and re-ordered about 3 times now over the past month as I try to decide, but the fact the servers will be populated again on this great game has finally made me sway towards buying it again, for the 4th time (have 360, PS3 and PC version).

Yeah, they're absolutely crap at promoting it across all formats. Anyways, this is the SteamDB page for it, and there's speculation pre-order (or at least Steam store page) will go up tomorrow. I find pre-order unlikely, since a one-day pre-order is pointless when they can just sell it on the 25th without any pre-order faff. If you look at the SteamDB page history, you'll see

So they pushed the store page out early, by accident, and then undid that. Bit of a mess, really, but, eh, only two days left.
I've never played this, only DS3 and Bloodborne. Question, can you start the dlc when you've beaten the game or does that send you to NG? When are you supposed to dive into the dlc?
Yeah it sends you straight to NG+ after the final boss, Not sure if they changed it for the remaster, I took on the DLC like 3/4 through the game I think
Beating the final boss takes you straight to NG+.
So you need to do the DLC before taking the final boss on. I recommned doing it towards the end of the game, the DLC is tough.
I'd even go as far as to claim that the Dark Souls DLC is the toughest of all the Soulsborne games.
Got a copy reserved at the local store. Never had the chance to play Dark Souls before, even when I loved BB and DS II and III.
I think I am ready!

I did it as soon as it was available, which is over halfway through the game.
mh, to me the first version of The Ringed City is tougher (and the bosses are more difficult even if we consider the patched version).
You can being the process of accessing the DLC after you've obtained the Lordvessel, which is about 2/3rds of the way into the game. Unlike recent games in the series, getting to it is rather complicated and not spelled out at all, so you might want to consult a guide to point you in the right direction.
Here's what the problem is if you bought this, day one, on the PC.
The port was atrocious, and everyone here knows it. Some people will actually defend From Software by saying it was their first port.
But if the community, in just a few days, fixes the major issues of your own crappy port, without even having access to the source code, then you're not just lazy, but you're borderline incompetent.
Some people around here dislike the word 'lazy' - but frankly there's no other word for it. I don't believe for one second that From was unable to implement on their own the same fixes that the community produced within days of the game's release.
It's a moot point anyway because if you can't even be bothered to implement, via a patch, the same basic fixes made by your own community (once they've shown you, embarrassingly, how to fix your own game... once they've schooled you on the basics of porting), then you ARE lazy.
And now... how many years later... From finally decides to fix their game... and actually wants me to pay for it?
Screw that. They won't be getting one red cent of my income.

Four full flegded souls games in 5 years...yep. Lazy is a fair assessment.
That sounds interesting. Love me halbeards in souls games. But monk? Based on Cleric I guess?
More of a DS1 thing, really. Parry is super easy in DS1, you can wait for the very last moment and get the parry.
I prefer it this way, though. Parry and riposte in DS1 and Bloodborne are by far the most satisfying in the series.
I've been looking forward to jumping back into this game since it was announced. I'm going for a sorcery build straight out of the gate this time. Usually I save that for a second or third character. I already have the plan mapped out to head straight into Blighttown for the red robes and tin catalyst, and then get after Griggs of Vinheim and Big Hat Logan.
Useless to me because I don't point down, I toss a prism stone and pray gesture. And it's 70 quid, so fuck that.
Also, I'd have accepted gesture DLC instead of that overpriced medal. "Pumped Up" from Dark Souls 2, anyone?? No? Just me then...
Its steam page will surely be amazing when it finally appears. I expect to be praising the sun.
I am speaking for myself, obviously, and was agreeing with someone else. I'm getting the game too. I'm just not ultra excited about it. It's ok, don't be offended
