PC Dark Souls for August?

[Apr 07, 2012, 11:49 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

NeoGAF reports that the latest issue of German print gaming magazine PC Action confirms long-standing rumors of plans for a PC edition of Dark Souls, saying it is expected this August. This also states the PC edition of the action/RPG will have some new bosses, but will otherwise be identical to the console editions. PC Action's new issue tease has no indications the magazine offers any such announcement, but and image of the cover seems to confirm the news. Thanks VG247.

I suppose if you would prefer your games to be more like God of War where you can mash through the combat and you know for a fact that eventually you will win....then no...this game is definitely not ever going to be worth it to you. If there is such thing as a thinking man's action game, Dark Souls is it. (as is it's predecessor) As soon as you start trying to go all Kratos on this game...and nearly everybody does....you die, and the death penalty is stiff. I don't mean that to be nearly as condescending as it probably reads. I like a good button mashing action game as much as the next gamer. This game just isn't one of those, and if requiring actual planning and thought before jumping into action doesn't sound fun...then this game will be a lesson in frustration for you. Particularly when you realize that a good many times you will simply have to get your ass kicked to learn how not to get your ass kicked.
