Should i buy Dark Souls II on PS3 or PC?

[Flipzer]

So basically,
I want to know if PC graphics is so much better, or PS3 version is kinda the same?
I see people complaining about the PC version and it being a port, is it that bad?
I have a GTX 770, so i'm in the higher end of pc gaming, is it better on PC?

Or should i go ahead and buy it on PS3?

Share your opinion down below! ;)

look dude. I have DS2 on PS3 and it looks better than DS1 and have no blighttown lag whatsoever.

I never said it looked worse then DS1. I also said some areas look decent, but that' purely from the gameplay I've seen floating around the internet. Go look at one of the comparison videos, you'll CLEARLY see the difference is HUGE.

Plus PC probably won't look like the E3/TGS demo because all the good looking screenshots that used to be on the steam page were removed, and people from namco confirmed the weak looking screenshots to be the PC version.

well it's on console so I rly knew and ecxpected that the graphics won't be that much good as look dude. if u play games for how it looks, then u totaly won't like DS1 nor DS2. if u want great entense gameplay RPG with the best combat mechanics in all RPGs yet, then try it and then judge it yourself.

PC for sure with that card. Dark Souls on PC was bad for a week until a texture mod and then two weeks later a 60fps mod. Now with a good PC the game is amazing and has spoiled me as I couldnt stand Dark Souls 2 on PS3 as I have elected to just wait and get it again on PC then play it through. (got Steam preorder for $32 on a special)

I forgot to note that Dark Souls 2 PC will prob not need a mod for the textures and 60fps this time. The lighting everyone is complaining about may or may not be incleded like the demos. The bad lighting on the consoles is prob because of the lower textures as higher textures should make a big difference with the lighting and im guessing it will look great especially with 60fps which just makes everything come together like a totally different game. This is just IMHO. With all this said I still see no need to pre order so just wait and see.

with a gtx 770 hell yes get it on pc!
I have that card as well, you can't go wrong with 1080p 60fps.

It will be in 1080p which means better graphics by default. The main reason the PS3 version looks so bad is that it is upscaled to 720p.

Dark Souls II runs in native 720p on both consoles as opposed to the earlier games running at 1024x720.

It's not ugly because of the resolution. It's ugly because the textures and the lighting are bad. Side by side, Dark Souls 1 looks a lot better.

That vast majority of that video took place in Majula, one of the only truly good looking areas in the game. That entire forest area after was pretty bad.

Dark Root Garden was gorgeous, even on PS3. The Forest of the Fallen Giants... Is not.

And yes, I have played it.

for sure PC version will be better then the PS3\xbox, the only question is its will be in PC standart or in console standart.

Yeah you're right about the native resolution (was something I was told but still should have fact checked it) I still stand by my point. DSFix on the original Dark Souls just unlocked the resolution and the difference was massive. Same with any other game when you change the resolution settings. But who cares which looked better on the PS3? Fromsoft aren't EA, they aren't about the graphics and never have been. If the game looks as good as DS1 did after using DSFix then I will be perfectly happy (the game looked pretty good in my opinion and it didn't have dynamic lighting either). There is no reason to believe that it won't look as good. Either way, a diamond in the rough is better than a polished turd. It's good ass game, be happy with that.

The recent events made me believe that Dark Souls II on PC will be a simple/poorly executed port like its predecessor. That said, modders will fix that so I would suggest to buy it on PC.
