    Actually just 2 game announcements (or announcements I care about).

    First new game is The Phantom Pain:
    http://www.gametrailers.com/full-ep...rds-2012-vga-2012--part-1----the-phantom-pain
    Fast forward to about 10:45 for the start of the trailer.

    The interesting thing about that trailer is it actually seems like this is some elaborate viral marketing for MGS by Hideo Kojima (possibly a separate game, but definitely seems like some nods to MGS). Just going to link to NeoGAF thread where the users have collected all the pieces to the puzzle, so to speak:

    Dark Souls 2:
    http://www.gametrailers.com/full-ep...part-4---character-of-the-year--dark-souls-ii
    Fast forward to about 2:26 or so. CG trailer, though it looks amazing. Famitsu confirmed it for PC/360/PS3 (and of course From Software, in case there were any doubts).

    Have you tried the fan patch for the PC version? I don't have it on PC (so haven't tried it), but I was under the impression it made a huge difference. Didn't think it was really unplayable (was a bad port, but the patch helps).

    I'm thinking Dark Souls 2 will be much better.

    Sorry, should have thought to link it when I mentioned it:

    It started as just a resolution patch (allowing higher resolutions), but I thought I saw him working on other issues (including frame rate stuff, although that was more complicated).

    That wasn't the main problem. I got the resolution fix the first time I play the game but it's the controller. I use a keyboard and mouse(not gamepad) like most PC users. The mouse and keyboard control(camera movements) was so bad and nauseous that I stop playing it. Another thing is that it dethroned Skyrim for the worst menu.

    Oh...well...yeah, I think M&KB would make the game pretty unplayable. I don't foresee them doing any better in the sequel (really needs to be played with gamepad).
