Can someone enlighten me why GFWL has such a bad reputation? I understand the whole region locked thing, it's really unfortunate that people who truly want to buy the game can't. | ||

I understand the whole region locked thing, it's really unfortunate that people who truly want to buy the game can't. Save corruption, inability to properly install patches, disconnection from multiplayer portion randomly, poor support, etc Dark Souls is going to be on GFWL due to the game being a port from 360, and having similar net code. If Dark Souls is to be on steam, they have to devote another team just to work on a new net code for the game. | ||

We should be happy they even bothered doing a PC port. There's no reason to be happy they're even doing a pc port when they're going to make so much money by porting it. | ||

Not necessarily...people buy GFWL games because they want the game. People buy game from Steam half of the times due to impulsive shopping. Part of the argument that PC market is still viable, thus bringing Namco to the table, was due to the strong sales of Skyrim and Witcher 2 on steam. Dark Souls is a game that appeals to the hardcore PC community which detest GFWL, a very poorly supported distribution platform. If this port's sale fails/unremarkable, future game developers will use this incident as an excuse for refusing making pc ports. As far as I am aware of, this is the first time a port was made almost purely due to online petitions. This is kinda historical if you think about it....if it fails... Part of Dark Souls is the multiplayer portion. GFWL multiplayers are generally unplayable. There will be individuals out there who argue why bother buying this game when you can just pirate the single player and get same damn thing. | ||

It is mostly a single player game but "Why would i buy it if multi player doesnt work?" is not a valid argument, these people still spent money to make this game and they brought it to PC's on thousands of people asking for it. So stop being so ungrateful and buy it if you're gonna play it, do us all that little favour. | ||
