Derp

i want Dark Souls for PC, but it needs GFWL, so i was wondering, is it tolerable?

It's tolerable, but having a wired Xbox controller, Razer Onza, Logitech Gamepad, or wireless receiver for a controller matters more.

It's literally unplayable with a keyboard, although you probably know that.

Absolutely horrible.

Hahaha when I tried to instal AOE online it asked me for a CD key which I didn't have, and the support thread just gave me a workaround that, altogether, took around 2 hrs.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

GFWL is very tolerable. It's not as bad as people make it out to be.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

Only bad thing is that the updates will sometimes screw you over. As in "google the game+update+GFWL error code" and fix it yourself. Only happened for me with Halo 2, thou'.

How else can I access all of my stuff when I'm not on the Xbox, including voice messages? Besides, Halo 2 needs it.

Also, I see what you did there...

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

GFWL is fine. Idk why people cry like lil girls about it. Ive had no problems that the console versions has had.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I haven't found it too bad.
