Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition technically wasn’t a bad port, it was just as barebones as you can get. It was basically a console game that happened to run on PC. To this day, the game can only be played with either a controller hooked up to your machine, or with various third-party mods and utilities.
Granted, we were told to expect as much – From Software outright said that due to a lack of experience with developing for PC, they’d simply release a 1:1 port of the Xbox 360 version with absolutely no PC optimization. It showed, with a lack of proper KB/M controls or graphical options. Even knowing what we were getting into, the PC port was considered pretty lackluster. The developers apologized later on, promising that the port for the sequel would be more polished.
