You were begging the question whether or not there are other reasons for it to be locked. There are no good reasons. It's shitty programming.

Nope. They haven't even made an official statement on the final framerate, let alone any 'excuses for it. If you're referring to the 'creative vision' stuff, that was due to a mistranslation as far as I know. So much knee jerk. I get that people are upset about no 60 fps. It's upsetting. Lets not lose our heads and start saying dumb shit though. I like to think gaf can be better than that. It's why I post here and not reddit or gamefaqs.
What the fuck

I agree, I'm here because I specifically grew out of the festering hole that is GFAQ.

These are the moments that make me glad I'm more of a console guy.
don't worry, it won't be locked anyway.
Yup. It (both releases, actually) is one of the best-optimized ports of last gen,

The interview which probably EVERY poster in this thread is aware of, and which, all of us unanimously agree that 60hz or above is ALWAYS better? I'm actually waiting to know which PC game Miyazaki went ahead out of his way and locked at 30 FPS because of his "stupid vision", as the poster claimed.

no I wasn't and now you're starting to annoy me. I didn't say there were any good reasons, I said there were reasons other than the ridiculous shit posting reasons put forth in this thread. Is there something wrong with your reading comprehension? I just agreed that it's shitty programming. Go away now.

It's a tough trade off you know.
To get a good Souls game, you gotta sacrifice 30 fps. :^)

That's stupid though, because Souls 2 IS good.
Not as good as Souls 1, but whatever.
What I was saying was the poster misplaced a comment from a SCEJ producer as being somehow related to Miyazaki or FROM Software.

not nearly as good. not even in the same league really. I mean, I beat dark souls 2 a bunch of times and same with scholar which I loved but.....creatively it's not even close in my opinion.

It was a joke.
i said almost, eh.
reacting to a rumor with a "fuck you asshole, give me your game at half price and as i want it" is not that mature either

Opinions and all, but I still find Souls 2 more fun than Bloodborne
But hey it's no big deal because Souls 3 will probably be the best of all and a grand send off.
@Primethius, alright then! Can never tell even with emotes when it comes to DkS2.
Well they did it before so there's legitimate reason for concern.
Where's that "It's not enough...others fail" pic when you need it the most.
No, From Software gets far too much praise. They should be questioned at any opportunity, if this was Ubisoft this thread would be mostly negative.

I am questioning. I'm not defending anything, I'm just speculating like everybody else as to why this is happening. I also know that it's not because of 'laziness' or 'creative vision' and I'll call out that bullshit for the garbage posting that it is. Most likely it's because they suck at porting to PC without issues. Also, this thread is OVERWHELMINGLY negative, as it should be. so no idea what you mean there.
Fingers crossed and butt clench intensifies*

This is a simple yes or no kind of thing, not a let's reveal it soon.

My first thought. Especially with the spec requirements as low as they are.
Probably not true at all
They're getting ready to blow everyone's minds and announce it's locked at 45fps.
One man can dream of silky smooth 144hz Souls.

Disappointing if true, but will still keep my preorder.
But let's be honest, of all things we love FROM, technical proficiency is not one one of them. Even though all Souls games are amazing, each one of them has some glaring flaws in that regard. I would be genuinely surprised if DSIII is any different.

Glad this is getting more news worthy..How hard is it to say either yes or no.

So more info soon on the pc version, not long left till release why the secrecy on the frame rate? Its really not a hard question to answer at this point considering the game will be gold very soon.
They are hardly going to call themselves inept at porting, are they? Vision is generally the industry term for their incapability to go over 30 fps, so that is what it will be. But there isn't going to be any official statement on this unless there is a big uproar.

Well, the "A team" delivered a game with some really shitty collision and hitboxes on the PS4 at least, so that debunked the A/B crap in terms of programming at least.

That's weird. Even if it's capped it will still be better than the console version in every way.

Are you talking about Bloodborne? Because there's no chance the hitboxes in BB were worse than DS2.

Really hate that I gotta worry about this shit on PC. Glad some noise is being made though the more the better.

There seems to have been a really huge feeling of disconnect between the Miyazaki lead team and the Dark Souls 2 team. The game was not perfect but the PC version was made extremely well and gave me hopes for DS3. But it seems like Miyzaki is just disregarding that teams work completely on this game and I have always feared how the PC version will turn out. If from fucks this up I will be very angry and probably won't support their games anymore. The fact that their games have so sold so well in spite of the terrible job they did porting DS1 should mean they put a little more effort on this one.
Yep. This has been my fear since the announcement.

It's going to be a really funny situation.
This. If the game does offer the rudimentary as fuck feature like 60fps then it's a simple matter of yes or no. Either it's capped or it's not. If nothing's wrong then what's the downside for them to disclose this simple piece of information about the port?

Big enemies still have crappy hitboxes, nearly infinite stamina and you can abuse hitting trought walls

I can't believe it will be locked 30. DS2 was one of the best japanese PC ports and such a huge improvement from DS. Will be very surprised if they end up doing that.
I mean this has been the case with nearly every Souls game. People who like the games are able to look past the rough edges.
Maybe but DS2 with low ADB will still deliver the worst hitboxes scenarios tho and it still unmatched.
