Remastered is aesthetically different enough that it shouldn't be considered preservation of the original game. We deserve reasonable access to the original Dark Souls on PC.
More people need to be able to play this original version of Dark Souls without having to resort to piracy or paying 10,000,000 dollars for Steam Keys. The servers don't even exist anymore without mods, Namco literally has nothing to lose.
I wanted to get into this game so badly and started a run in a copy of Prepare to Die edition I borrowed on Steam from a friend. Then, not only did library share get phased out, Prepare to Die got taken off the store front, so I have this game installed on my drive but I can't even play it! Madness, the original version of Dark Souls should be available to all regardless of it being "outdated;" the Mario games on NES are technically outdated by Mario All Stars on SNES, and you don't see Nintendo forcing us to play only All Stars if we want that experience!
The Souls games are my favorite series of games ever. Dark Souls Remastered is awesome, but as many fans know, it's barely a remaster. Experiencing the original Dark Souls should be something that everyone should be able to do without needing to pirate it. You can't gatekeep art because a "better" version was released.
Ive played this game on console together with my brother and it was some kind of a lovely experience. By now i 100% the games of the soulsborne series, but the remaster does have another feeling than the prepare to die edition. I really loved this version of the game (of course also the remaster) and i would be so happy to be able to play it once again, but somewhen we lost the console game. Because its gone from the store front i cant buy it except paying 739€ for a steam key which is simply not possible for me. I am convinced the game should be preserved and made available for anyone without paying ridicolous prices!
This is my comfort game. The sounds, music, map, world building etc. is perfect. Though clearly rushed in the later stages, the overall experience is incredible from start to finish. I feel so melancholic playing the game now and remembering all the areas I used to invade, summon and be summoned, read and place messages and just experience the game with others for better or for worse. Despite that it still serves as an amazing experience even solo and the lack of online features now make you play the game in slightly different ways. I still load up the game just to take in the sights and environments of my favorite locations or do a play through with a new build for old times sake.
The remaster changes too much of the game, the lighting and "remastered" visuals to spells, bonfires, and a handful of textures clash with the original aesthetic and vibe. The atmosphere of the original game is utterly ruined in so many areas due to these changes. Not to mention the broken rolling animations. Once you notice them in remaster you can never unsee them and they just serve as a reminder you're playing an inferior version of the game.
I'd hope GOG can do all they can to get Bandai to approve the game for release here one way or another. GOG could even bundle in dsfix which makes the game perfectly playable, similar to what they did with Alpha Centauri and its user made mods that have allowed the game to function better. Even without the multiplayer this game makes for a great experience and allowing people to buy and own it again so they can experience the original developers vision and intentions is right in line with what game preservation is about. Not to mention saving some people hundreds of dollars from key scammers.
An incredible game. I would love to play on PC and really am ready to be all in with GOG as opposed to Steam. Any way this can be played will be amazing! DS1 is legendary.
Многие говорили что игра сложная, она не прощает ошибок. Из сложного было ложе хаоса и добраться до некоторых боссов сложнее чем победить боса. Игру нужно сохранить по адекватной цене а не за 100+$

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
