I think he was being sarcastic and making fun of PC gamers I could be wrong though.
Takes a kitty to understand and not hate me!

To the OP, thanks for posting the video, I had unsubbed from the Biscuit a while back for many reasons so I missed this one.

But whatever, I'll sign it. Always nice to get a great game out there a bit more.
He's a giant PC elitist like all the time, but he does have some very good points.
I agree. But seriously, what the fuck was that "I'd like to see it be on PC where it can truly be appreciated!" shit? Over 1.5 million copies sold in under a month! That's a fucking lot of copies, y'know?
He is on about truly appreciated because it's an atmospheric, hardcore CRPG, which is kinda what PC gamers go mad over. He wasn't saying oh the console games don't get it or anything, it's just this sort of game he thinks is adored by PC gamers, which I gotta agree with.

I think you put it a lot more tactfully than him though. :p Just saying.

[HEADING=1]Do you want to play Dark Souls on PC?[/HEADING]
Ofcourse you do, well tell NAMCO Bandai yourself, through this petition.
http://petitionbureau.org/DarkSoulsForPC
There are well over 6000 7000 8000 9000 [HEADING=1]10.000[/HEADING] signatures set and I'm sure the Escapist can add to this.

I'm too lazy awesome to write down 10 pages of motivation of why they should bring Dark Souls to PC, so most reasoning can be found in the video below.

Well first of all, you're bastard you beat me to it D:<

Second i totally agree with whole plan of porting DS to PC, the one thing im worried about is that they dont botch the controls and commands, and i already signed it.

hahah i think its great that the elitist pc crowd miss out on awesome games like this.

Dark Souls is my personal game of the year.

i own a PC, and an Xbox, but i dont feel the need to tell anyone and everyone why one is superior than the other.

get off your high horse and buy a console :)

TB is a veteran PC gamer, he has had to put up with the entire genres he loves being withered down as the market changes, and sadly I would agree that most these trends tend to be tied to console gaming in a vague way.

I don't mind so much as I have tried to have a producer sort of out look (future job I hope), but a vet like him... well his patience most likely died long ago :(

I'm slightly fan boyish(if you count thinking it is the best experience) of PC gaming, but I was hoping the Escapist wouldn't let this thread fall into fan boys and flaming like it currently seems to be infected with :(

Awwww Christ I'm subed to TB and I gotta say he does sound like a prick in this video. Dark souls is great on PS3 as is. I am not opposed to releasing it on PC because it broadens the market and increases retail of the games, but on that note why don't they also release it on other consoles as well? If it increases over all sales then isn't that a good thing? As for TB, its just the way he sounds in the video that is particularly annoying, PC is superior yes, but TB, you can appreciate it on console just as much as you would on PC. Its like as if I said I can't "appreciate" PC shooters because they are more of a console thing. Just makes me seem like a massive dick... ahh TB you always get me.

The man above me makes a very good point though, and makes me feel particularly sad for TB.

Well I'm a PC gamer (It's a pretty high end one) but I also play xbox and wii. I dunno I don't like this attitude we seem to be getting about it all.

It's a shame this thread is getting a bit flamey though. Dark Souls is an awesome game (even though I'm pants at it) and more sales is more pennies towards a sequel.

I do think that the game should come to PC (and the 360 and the WiiU), because giving more people the chance to play a good game is always a good thing.

And WOW that guy is a total fucking twat. Which is a shame, because in his actual business analysis made a ton of sense. That is, whenever he wasn't spouting the usual PC Gamer cry of "Look at the size of my penis PC!" that seems to be hard-wired into every PC Gamer alive.

After watching that video, I really hope Namco never releases the game on PC.
But why? It's a great game and everybody should be able to enjoy it. I wish that no games had to exclude any platforms but sadly that's the way things are.

Also, I know TB can seem a bit PC elitist and he is but he provides good points.

PC is my main platform (I have a PS3 that is pretty much used only when I want to play Dark/Demon's Souls, go figure), and I usually agree with TB's opinions as far as PC gaming goes, it's just that this particular video he seemed to come off as a bit insufferable.

Yep got to second that, I personally as a PC gamer don't even care if my PC games are not super better looking the consoles, which many have becomes obsessed with, but it's a sad repercussion among PC gamers caused by the console focused market.
I am fairly thankful however, as the PC market I think will retake it's place as the main design platform, due to the surge of users and such, mostly caused by all the new MMOs, F2P, Steam and GOG (god I love GOG :) )

Oh well let's hope dark souls comes out on PC, tho i'll have to wait till I have recovered from the recent steam sales XD

Well I get why, as I said he was a bit pissed, as it's something he feels is totally clear that it should be on PC, and as per norm people just never bothered to check it out as an option. He was probably pissed as well due to the recent "This is why we can't have nice things" video, which again I agree with. On the other hand I would still say he isn't as PC fan boyish or annoying as the Yogcast XD

P.S Accidently reported myself XD

Hate to burst your bubble even further but between From Software and Namco Bandai only 4 games got PC releases. It's quite obvious that they're not heavily invested in the PC.

Maybe they just don't like the idea of someone modding Dark Souls and creating insta-kill weapons, ruining the games challenge and wrecking havoc on other players.

I guess. The way he said it made it seem like he was saying something along the lines of "console players can't appreciate these games!"
Which scarily, it could be when talking about TB.

Jesus Christ, can they just release a statement and tell us if they are going to do it or not? This is getting ridiculous.

Everywhere, console fanboys are shitting themselves and whining because they couldnt deal with yet another title joining the PC and leaving consoles behind, while the PC fanboys are bitching about how much better the platform is and blablabla. I am so sick of this bullshit.
Give this man a medal! He has the right idea! Every one simply shut the hell up, and enjoy what ever platform you use!

And I'd like to see all the popular PC exclusives released on Console, and not shitty ports.

Seriously.....PC gamers need to stop complaining that they get hard done by since all the games are coming out of console. PC gamers have more exclusive games than console gamers will ever have.

In the end, the argument is moot. Grow up, get a job, buy both console and PC. Not finished university yet? Then finish that first, then worry about your fucking video games.

(more related to TB than the petition)
I am a PC gamer, i am also a console gamer so i enjoy the best of both words. And there is nothing that annoys me more (gaming wise) than PC elitists. I am sick and tired of the same groups of people saying how much better PC gaming is, and then bitching when a game comes out that they cant play.

It won't happen.

How often do you see Japanese developers or publishers (aside from Capcom) make a PC version of their games?
