I dont think it does. Not that it matters much anyway. Everytime I summoned someone they were so overpowered I just stood back and watched them rape the boss in like 20 seconds. :lol:

 

but the ones you summoned would be around your lvl right?, not too overpowered.

I think its supposed to be like +/-10 of your soul level or something. But I am guessing player population is also taken into consideration. So probably if there are no players of your soul level around, it will let you be joined by someone who is a little out of your league.

 

Then there is other stuff like Blackbox glitch. So the players you summon could well be low level but might be carrying equipment from their NG+++ game or whatever.

 

I remember summoning for the Capra demon and this guy who came in like 2 shotted the boss. :lol:

 

Edit Summoning isnt always all about bosses either. Often people you summon are actually super nice. These two guys I summoned in Anor Londo showed me the hidden room with the awesome Havel's armor. Another guy I summoned for the Crystal caves killed a bunch of crystal lizards for me.

 

They didnt have to do that. They could have just finished the boss with me and gone home with their souls but they just decided to help out anyway. I will always take those guys over uber powerful ones that go in and out in like 60 seconds.

 

And whenever I am summoned I try to do the same. Pay it forward.

RELEASE DATE

 

Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition will be released on August 24, 2012 with the console DLC following in the winter.

 

The DLC will cost 1200 Microsoft Points or $14.99 on the PlayStation Network.

 

NEW CONTENT

 

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is expected to add many hours of gameplay, which can vary from player to player.

 

The expansion introduces a new chapter called the Artorias of the Abyss, occurring after Sen's Fortress, in which the player must stop the spread of darkness within Lordran by defeating the Dark Knight Artorias.

 

This, of course, comes packed with a bunch of new things including:

 

New Bosses - Artorias of Abyss, Chimera of Tomb, and more

New Areas – Oolacile Tomb, Old Ruins and more

New Enemies – Abyss Guard, Chained Prisoner and more

New NPCs – Hawkeye Gough and more

New Weapons and Armor – Equip some from the new bosses, enemies, and NPCs

PVP Online Matchmaking System - Quick matching for co-op or PVP in an arena-style PvP

Sounds like a pretty decent chunk of content there. CANNOT wait or the PC version.

From Software "having a tough time" porting Dark Souls to PC, frame rate issues remain

 

 

Dark Souls developer From Software is having a torrid time getting its beloved action RPG up and running on PC and has confirmed it isn't including any optimisations for desktop gamers.

 

Producer Daisuke Uchiyama told Eurogamer that it had underestimated how tough it would be to port the game across.

 

"To be completely honest, we're having a tough time doing it due to our lack of experience and knowledge in terms of porting to PC. First we thought it would be a breeze, but it's turned out not to be the case. We're still developing right now - we're crunching right now.

 

"In Japan there's not much of a PC market and we haven't really taken into consideration that audience before. That's one of the reasons why we haven't been able to step up on the PC platform until now."

Uchiyama went on to confirm that it hasn't fixed the frame rate problems that had hobbled certain parts of the game on consoles.

 

"In terms of the frame rate for say, Blighttown, From Software sincerely apologises for that happening [in the console version]," he said.

"In terms of the PC version, the quick answer is no, [we won't be fixing the frame rate problems]. Because we wanted to get the PC version out as soon as possible, it's more strictly a port from the console version. We haven't been able to step up into doing any specific optimisation for PC.

Why didnt they just hire some other studio (a competent one preferably) to do the port for them?

 

Ah well, will wait and hear impressions from people before I make a decision. Right now, still very much in the buy camp.
