Story not dark enough. Already own it anyway. Also the PC port is really really horrible (unless they managed to patch it and make it more appealing for mature consumers such as myself)

Well, yeah, me too. Now I just play Diablo if I want mature gaming and I stick with Resident Evil and Dark Souls for the kiddie stuff.

But still, even with everything you said, it's $7 bucks. The complete game's worth 7 bucks for people that haven't played it yet.

This also comes with the DLC that you have to pay to get on PS3/360 IIRC.

Awful port, it's like you're being punished for trying to play with a mouse and keyboard. Unless you have or are willing to buy a controller, avoid this.

Yes, it comes with all the DLC.

I played through Undead Burg already. It's a fine port. I'm not noticing anything so terrible about it that I'm declaring it the unholy abomination of game ports. I am not a tech nazi and I don't really care about framerates and what not. The PC build still retains its methodical, intense pace, is as responsive as the PS3 version when I input commands and is essentially the same experience.

And I agree with Violent Storm's comments about the controller. You shouldn't play this with mouse/KB. But otherwise, the ports perfectly fine to me.

aiso pls

Framerate cap, forced 720 rendering, Games for Windows Live. Not a good port. Also unplayable without a controller as mentioned before.
Guess I'm a tech nazi or I'm just used to better ports of console games.

The director of the game called the port "half assed."

I'm still glad PC players were able to play it.

I don't know what to tell you, man.

I'm playing the PC port and I'm not really noticing all the crap that even the director says is wrong with it.

It's probably all there. There are tech nazis out there that dissect this shit to the nth degree and decide it's no good.

But for me, the experience of playing the damn thing, for myself, controller in hand, is different from all of that noise.
