I know this is a joke but... That quite literally *is* a big reason why a lot of bugs aren't fixed... It's because the community has come to view them as "features." Anytime there's a remaster or remake of anything, whether it be a movie, or game, or what have you, the creators have to walk a very precarious tightrope of trying to revamp the product, but not changing it so much that it alienates fans of the original. Inevitably, there will always be a large chunk of people that cry because "It's not like the original!" and therefore will shit on it for that. Despite anything being a bug, changing it from the original is what will make people complain. And then there's videos such as this one, that shit on it for not being different enough. It's a situation that the creators are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. Take note of like any remake of any classic movie ever, and there's a very high chance people just automatically shit on it, regardless of how it actually is. The same effect is happening with remasters and remakes, like Dark Souls: Remastered and Warcraft: Reforged. It's virtually a coin toss whether any fanbase will accept a remaster/make of anything.

[@Legojimbo99]

Something in common with DSR and Scholar was that at some point things they promised was suppose to be a patch in the future, instead they ended up selling the game back to its customers with the minimal improvements. What I liked about Scholar was that it changed enemy placements, for veterans it just spices things up a bit (though I didn't understand why there was so many petrified people all around Drangleic randomly). I liked what they did with Scholar, incorporating the DLC's a bit better so you had to find keys around the world rather than just being given to you because you bought them. DSR I find rather insulting, least DS2 to Scholar there was noticeable differences in areas (lighting and effects predominantly from what I remember) but shown from the vid anyways I can't tell apart the original to remaster really

How can you call something a remaster when you did the bare minimum and didn't fix 8 year old bugs?

[@L2DaK2Dap]

Simply put, its the pricing and removing DS PTD Edition. I knew it would be some textures, framerate fixes and bug fixes. But $20 for existing owners? Its ludicrous. CD Projekt Red released Witcher 1 and 2 Enhanced editions which added proper bug fixes, cleaned up animations, new gear, new quests, new characters, new difficulties and this was all free for people who had already bought the earlier versions. To be fair, these weren't complete engine swaps, that is likely why DSR is so expensive. That and Bandai feeling they can milk their braindead Souls fan base. If they went all out and fixed Lost Izalith, Bed of Chaos, added improved rolling, cloth physics, restored some cut content and maybe even some new stuff, then people would be a lot happier with the game and price. As it stands, you're getting fleeced.

[@TehronGaming]

If they fixed Lost Izalith, Bed of Chaos, restored cut content and/or added new stuff it would make the game a remake instead of a remaster, which in my honest opinion would be worth the full $40 price tag even for existing owners of DS PTD, myself included. Though in it's current state it's nothing but a cash grab for PC players.

[@beezymeech]

It is literally called dark souls remastered, and was marketed as such.

[@edot_michael]

its not a re-release, a re-release implies a re-issuing of the original game either on it's original platform (IE: Greatest Hits, Platinum Hits or Complete Edition) or on a new system with no changes except for the standard resolution bump or framerate bump. This game was marketed as a remaster, which is taking the original assets and revamping them for a new platform, which is what Bandai Namco did, except they did a shitty job overall.

[@robertpendli340]

rereleases and ports often revamp graphics, a remaster requires remaking all graphical or audio assets, and a remake is when you recreate a game from the ground up.

[@clipbit]

To be honest, seeing the changes they've made, this seems more like something they should just release as a patch for the original rather than a $40 game... pretty much the only reason I would get this is because the original crashes every 2 minutes on my PC, but that was something THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED YEARS AGO AND IT SHOULDN'T BE SOMETHING WE HAVE TO PAY FOR

Doctorzzim (1: sorry for my bad english 2: sorry for the big comment) I am crazy I would said it in their face. Shurely, they've done a good work in some aspects of the game like remaking the effects of spells, but there's a Lot of things that they SHOULD have done and you know that, more... Important things you know? Things that we really needed, things that we really ASKED FOR. They didn't fixed MOSTLY of the bugs (actually they fixed the "small" bugs, the big fucking messy bugs like chain backstabs or the Pricilla's corruption bug are still there) + the new bugs, game mecanics are still broken, and it somehow looks even worse than the original at "some" parts. They should have improved the original game and added new features, they haven't done a real good job in none. The "mecanics" they added like the "coop scaling" doesn't work properly. They had ALL the time in the world and seems like their job is at half.

Honestly SOTFS barely changed anything actually important about the game. There’s some cool changes, but overall it really wasn’t that amazing or necessary. But the thing is that that wasn’t really the purpose of that particular remaster anyway. In the case of DSR, however, the expectation when you bring back an OLD game like this is that you’re doing so to bring it into the present day... I mean why bother otherwise? And unfortunately DSR really doesn’t meet that expectation. I’m happy to have it if only so that I can play the game online with people again, but realistically, it didn’t achieve what it really ought to.

[@InfernoPlus]

SOTFS was at least fun since the level layouts were different. It wasn't great but it at least it was *something.*

It wasn't going to be some masterful rework, but only a cheaply produced graphics update. Did all that stop me from buying the game and enjoying it? No. Inferno is just salty his modding capability is gone within the rework and has to make it sound shit for everyone else.

[@sirprize8572]

Virtually everything you complain about after "The Ugly" section requires engine work, and frankly you have no idea how complicated it may or may not be to introduce those features without migrating the entire game's codebase up to a newer version of the Havok Engine. And by the way, virtually ALL of the weird graphical things you point out are just as bad or worse in PTDE. Worth noting, From did not actually work directly on this remaster effort, Bamco outsourced it because From was already busy working on Sekiro. It's also worth noting here that they were NOT using a proprietary, built-in-house engine that they had complete access to and expertise with the source code for. They used an off-the-shelf engine purchased from a vendor. Everyone complaining about "oh they didn't add this" and "oh but later Dark Souls titles have this!!" seem to be missing the crucial point that those things could (and most likely would) require massive amounts of additional work to implement or fix, and were simply outside the scope of this project. I am extremely disappointed that they didn't base the remaster on the latest version of the game (thus re-introducing bugs that were already patched in PTDE), but overall I completely understand why they didn't spend hundreds of man-hours implementing Cloth Physics, of all things. It REALLY bugs me when people say things like "adding off-handed two-handing would take two minutes to implement" as if software engineering is just a bunch of computer guys saying hocus pocus and throwing pixie dust onto a circuit board and "bam" a game gets made like magic. That's just not reality. A lot of things that seem simple from a layman's perspective actually get quite complicated when you dig into the code.

@@youlikefeet fuck you

[@dantex9083]

youlikefeet, would highly disagree. The ONLY reason I was able to play through or even attempt DS1 remastered was because I wanted to connect get a better understanding of the realm after playing DS3. By modern standards of gaming, I would hardly call DS1 Rem. "art". Not by PC standards and not by PS 4 console standards.

[@dantex9083]

No, I am not referring to graphics, but an argument could be made on that front as well. I do mean "art", and by extension "art direction". DS1 is quite bland and to my eyes (DLC excluded) soporific in this respect. I prefer the dreary, glossy wet Gothic feel of Bloodborne and the object and building design (artistically) from DS3.

Just played through this game, and didn't experience any issues. Most players will not experience any of these, so I hope that this doesn't turn players off this amazing game.

I have experienced some of the bugs but most aren't particularly game breaking. the 60 fps is worth it on console.

[@technomage6736]

I'm about half way through and have had no issues aside from the janky controls that were in the original.

[@uberboomer8670]

It's definitely not a breathtaking remaster like Shadow of the Colossus or Demons Souls, but aside from the bow fps aim I experienced none of these issues and I played on launch day. I'd hate to think of someone like me who never played the original to be turned off from an overly nit picky critique, still a great experience that I'm about to run through yet again. I also think the $40 launch price for a full game plus the outstanding dlc seems reasonable to me. It's no GTA Definitive Edition

@@uberboomer8670 well those examples you gave were not remasters; they were remakes. Big difference, not to be a dick or anything but a lot of people confuse the two terms for some reason.

@@uberboomer8670 the take away was that someone like you is very much going to get value out of this remaster, as are some other returning players. It is clearly stated in his wrap-up and the complaints from an update point of view are still completely valid. If you walked away as a new player thinking the opposite, it's a comprehension issue on your end.

[@miraj6272]

One of the things that really pissed me off was the ram memory error, which wouldn't let many players in the game even if you meet the requirments. And guess what? The community bypassed that error.. and now most people with can play the game.. And its not over yet.The game is locked on 60 fps makes your game your game run in slow motion when you go below 40 which is dumb af, like wtf. Why make this stupid decision? I ran 60 for the most part but when it goes below that its more unplayable than the original one. Hell DS3 feels still great at 30 fps, unlike here. Oh well. Also I hope the weapon match making is fixed if it hasn't already.

[@WhatTheFrogDoing]

The game physics are fundamentally tied to FPS. That just something we'll always have to deal with when it comes to DS1.

[@LazyMaybe]

The reason the game is locked to 60 fps and slows if you go under it is the same reason the original was locked to 30-game speed is tied to framerate. Clearly they decided that undoing ds1's sphaghetti code to separate game speed and framerate was not worth the dev time.

[@JOKER27667]

I was wondering why my game ran like its in slow motion. My PC aparently cant handle the "remaster" so i have 60 in some areas but then it drops to 40-35 in a second and everything slows down. Its a shame i was really excited to play this game.

[@scumpergumper]

I still think this is an overreaction for a general net positive. You no longer need to mod your game to play it right, who cares it is THE way to play OG dark souls.

[@mccad00]

It’s only acceptable if you didn’t already own the original PC port. Having to buy the same game twice, when the newer build is effectively just a patch for the previous build is ridiculous and should be shunned

Dark Souls, 2011: Graphics painstakingly tweaked by the original developers to deliver a rich, cohesive visual atmosphere. Remastered, 2018: Graphics ported to a new engine and rushed to completion by an outsourced development team on a budget. The results speak for themselves.

[@NexusKin]

This is why I bought the original 2011 version on Amazon for my X360, and it's perfect.

[@undakovrist8161]

I'm just here to make the small but sometimes seemingly important distinction that chain backstabs are not technically a glitch or bug, but rather players exploiting the design choices made by FromSoft when making the animation queuing and animation priority systems, and the fact that critical attacks generally have a very high priority among animations. It was a conscious design choice that they made, but just probably did not expect to be used in the manner that we use it. As such, exploit. Not bug. That is all. Oh and curved swords seem to infinite stun in Remaster. Unless you're staggered by the very first swing, and you roll out on that swing. Second and third swings (which repeat as you spam) are not escapable. This is not the case for QFS, but all the rest of them since that's the only one with speed malus. And maybe not PGS. idk. That thing is just tiny. Might actually get knocked out of its range on attack, I haven't tested despite having a meme cosplay build for it.

[@InfernoPlus]

That is true but in reality it's unintended and unfun so "bug" is a close enough classification. And that curved sword shit is really funny if true.

[@undakovrist8161]

I mean I disagree, but that's mainly because all I do is meta level PvP and we're all just looking for the mind games and variety in wakeup options. And yeah like 90% it's sure. People have tested at least Shotel, Falchion, and Gold Tracer. Only escapable if poisebroken on the first swing. It's fucked mang.

To be honest, the pvp was the worst multi-player experience I have ever had. And the over reliance on gravity as a substitute for difficulty was just annoying. Yes, I started on ds3.

[@R3IsL]

GD Martine Fournier I haven't been stuck on a single area and I've only died to two bosses once. The only summonings I've had was for one of the starter areas just to try it out and for a few bosses. I'm not really having any trouble with the difficulty if anything I think I've died even less on dsr than my first playthrough on ds3. I just hate that half the areas are dark as shit and littered with fucking falls. I've died to gravity waaaaayyy more than any fucking boss or enemy. And the pvp was an awful experience. I'm not even hating on dsr either I'm just sharing some of my distastes. I thought some of the bosses were pretty cool and the way the areas were connected is a really nice touch, Also the lore that connects with ds3. But then again I don't know why I'm explaining all this. Some edge Lord twinking the fuck out thinking he's a god for beating dark souls doesn't have much of a valid opinion either.

R3IsL "I've only died to 2 bosses once" were the only bosses you fought asylum and Taurus? Also you're hating on dsr like it's different than ds1. "Yes I started with ds3"

[@joshuakim5240]

+R3lsL The reason for DkS1 having so many janky gravity and visual impairment gimmicks (especially with the 2nd half the game where Tomb of Dark asf Gravity, the Duke's invisible Gravity Archives, the Bed of Gravity, and Kiln of the First Gravity) is to mix up the game's playstyle content. Many of these areas require stopping, examining, and assessing different ways to pull through them. In contrast, Dks3's literal only forced playstyle shift is becoming hyper aggressive against the Irithyll Dungeon jailers. The concept is similar to how Zelda games have different temples utilizing different puzzles and obstacles that require certain new things to be done to get past them. The problem with DkS1, however, is that its new obstacle shifts are ALWAYS paired with gravity. And can you blame Fromsoft? Gravity was the only thing powerful enough to put down Black Iron Tarkus.

[@R3IsL]

Thayer Platt No, I only have two bosses left. Manus and gwyn. Why are you insulting my skill like that? What a cheap fucking shot. And how am I hating it? Wtf? And I said I started with ds3 bec I already knew people would be replying assuming I had started with ds3.
