my friend and I both played it on the pc with keyboard and mouse after applying the DsFix, and had no issues throughout the whole game. Although it does come down to preference imo, if you aren't an avid console gamer then keyboard and mouse would be fine and in some cases might even be better.

you can always rebind keys to your liking too so it makes the necessity of a controller even less relevant.

Playing dark souls with keyboard is definitely possible, I've played around 100 hours on PC with keyboard. (I do NOT use the mouse, you can control the camera with jkil, this works pretty well imo). In the end a controller does work better and if you are new to dark souls having to get used to just using a keyboard on TOP of learning the game is gonna be too frustrating for 99% of people I think. In short, get a controller, play this game, it's an amazing game and definitely worth it. Playing with just keyboard or keyboard mouse (which sucks imo) is possible but if you're new I strongly advise against it.

You can get Call of Juarez Gunslinger + Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon for 8.50$ right now, they are bundled together (both games are published by Ubi). Reading some reviews, it seems both games are fun, short and worth the money. The problem is you need to use Uplay to play Blood Dragon, i don't normally complain about DRM all that much, but im getting sick of Ubisoft making me use that piece of garbage DRM machine, on top of Steam itself, just seems redundant, and unnecessary. Also considering CoW does NOT require Uplay at all, and its in the same fucking bundle, im frankly baffled, and im hesitating whether to get Blood Dragon or not because of it. Sorry for rant.

Dark Souls is definitely worth the money. I would argue that it should be part of its own genre. Not sure what that would be named though.

I picked up a $3 PS2 to PC converter from amazon and I use one of my old playstation 2 controllers with it. It works so well, I'm amazed I didn't go with a gamepad on PC sooner. I use the x360ce controller emulator with it.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

So I'm downloading Dark Souls. After seeing it in every sale, and never pulling the trigger, well...its time. Now i read that the game uses GFWL, is there any way to disable that PoS? Obviously, will play either way, but if there is some way to get passed that, it would be great. I ask mainly because i heard GFWL was being taken down or something of that sort, so i wondered if this is the case or not. Thanks.

Edit: Also, are there any mods for the game, mainly talking about texture mods and/or ENB's?

No, you have to play using GFWL. The universally accepted best mod is DSFix (look it up) which does a whole bunch of things, including high resolution support and the ability to uncap the framerate (there are gameplay consequences to doing this though, so you probably shouldn't... it's capped at 30 fps for a reason).

I'd be curious what TL think of Gone Home. It looks damn terrible from having seen most of it from a LP.

In the end you're mostly reading or hearing someone tell the story... what's the point. Go read a book.

Sorry to ask more questions, but I cannot get DS to run, it wont even launch. Windows 7, tried with/without DSFix, installing GFWL manually, verifying game cache. Is there something im missing here?

Edit: Lulz, restarted my PC, working now.
Edit2: FUCK GFWL. Been trying for an hour to get this fucking game to work, and i cannot connect to GFWL and therefore cannot save. If anyone has any help, im preety much out of options, ive tried all the shit ive read in all the threads, im sure i missed something, but my head hurts and im going to bed, thanks to anyone who can help.

So I think today's deal of the day goes to Dark Souls.

If you really have no controller at least get the DSFIX mod as it will help the controls better.

Remember when i said i was going to bed?....I lied. Ok so been at it for almost 4 hours now, and still cannot get Dark Souls to recognize GFWL and sign in. Normally pressing Home button on the keyboard would bring up the GFWL overlay, it does not, and yes the GFWL i installed is the newest version. Has anyone else ran into this?

Btw i can sign into the client just fine, it shows my old xbox account with achievement points and all, but theres no option to add the DS key, or any options at all really. I cant go to sleep until i figure this shit out, but it looks like i may have to pirate an old version of the game, which would also use an older version of GFWL, which in turn would allow me to make an offline profile and play. (Dont hate me, but ive pirated the game before earlier this year, and was easily able to make an offline profile and play/save, all as well.)

I wish I could help you out but I'm not near my computer with GFWL right now . Are you saying there is no option at all to add a game key? Because I'm sure they have that option in a menu somewhere.

This is correct, there is no option, nor was i ever asked to input the CD key. Its honestly like the game isnt "hooking into" GFWL, regardless if i sign in to the client before or after i launch the game. DS should launch, and also launch GFWL at the same time, from what i remember anyways.

Yes, I have a real problem with this and The Stanley Parable. I question whether these should be sold as 'Games' since there's basically no action you really take and the story just unfolds by itself. I think they need to advertise these as 'Virtual Stories' rofl.

Insurgency is on a 75% flash sale. I just bought the four-pack which takes another 25% off of the total pack price.

Pick this game up if you like "realistic" multiplayer fps. I had a lot of fun with the free mod and I'm sure they're doing a good job on this sequel.
Here's some information on the features: http://www.playinsurgency.com/

That fixed GWFL for me when I reinstalled Dark Souls a couple of weeks ago.
