So I ended up not buying Dark Souls for the PC...

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]I think a lot of your issues may be internet related tosh :S And searz, it updates for YOU for an hour because you have farmer boi internets ;o I for one am ok wtih it and actually like it coz I get gamerscore for my xbox account, AND steam achievements (I think) :D[/quote]

[quote=Searz]For people with better internet it may update a bit faster, but it's still REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING, regardless if it's 30min or 60. It's a buggy, poorly designed and unstable service. Remind me why it's even remotely good again?[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Try 1 minute. >_> lol And it isn't unstable, from what I've noticed o_O I mean it's probably a bit frivolous and annoying for PC only players, but since I have an xbox too it's nice to get gamerscore for some of my PC games ;o[/quote]

[quote=Scrax]I have yet to see anything good with this service, though. Windows Live won't prevent pirating, so they might as well just discard it as the piece of garbage it is :)[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Another thing: I totally like the unforgiving factor of Dark Souls, but someone esle noticd that a big part of the dfficulty consists not only of pc-port, but also general problems? Camera is one ***************************** that actually lets me repeat the gargoyle fight for the god knows how many time. Another thing is the genius behind the button layout... I'm using a noname controller (mouse+keyboard unplayable, luckily I like playing with a controller) and x360ce to pretend that I was dumb enough to hand another shitload of my bucks to Microsoft, meaning that I'm using the orginial button setting. So... why is it that somebody really came up with the idea to assign a menu to the movement stick button..? Infight, moving, accidentally pressing the stick button, everythings down except movement, need to press another button to exit menu --> 0.5-1 secs the enemy can use to bash my head in.[/quote]

[quote=Diesel]I'll admit that GFWL stopped me from ever playing Bioshock 2 since you have to log-in to save the game and GFWL never let me, but be happy that From Software and Namco Bandai even got this far to porting the game AND adding some DLC with it WHILE not re-selling it for $50/60 which they had every right to do so. I have Dark Souls for 360 and I almost want to get the game on the PC just to pat the publisher and developer on the back for doing this off of a fan petition.[/quote]

I played Batman:AA and had to update for ~30min, then a year later(or so) I played Bioshock 2 and had to update almost an hour (hmm, Bioshock 2 might have had some issues during installation, I think that's why I remember it being so slow). GFWL stopped me from playing Section 8: Predjudice because of the constant "corrupt profiles" and some more bullshit issues. [i]Sure, I do understand the appeal of gamerscore, but that's like accepting a cookie in return for daily payments of a kick in the balls.[/i] Everyone loves cookies, but I don't wanna take kicks to the balls on a regular basis just for a cookie.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]Yea I remember some issues with BS2 too, haha. Might have just been signing up for an account or something, that was be4 I even got my xbox ;o lol and nice analogy :P DIESEL DON'T LET IT STOP YOU FROM PLAYING BS2 THAT GAME IS SO GOOTNESS[/quote]

[quote=Diesel][quote=wRAthoFVuLK] DIESEL DON'T LET IT STOP YOU FROM PLAYING BS2 THAT GAME IS SO GOOTNESS [/quote] I'LL RE-INSTALL AND TRY AGAIN JUST FOR YOU.[/quote]
