Gamers gate is taking pre orders for Dark Souls - prepare to die edition at $39.95. It's very nice that they aren't charging $60 for this game. Does it make up for the almost certain bad console port? Who knows. I'm still looking forward to this game though, it's just a shame that it comes out on August 24th, one day before GW2's head start.

Dark Souls is out for the pc and there are already people hard at work fixing things for the port:

If you're getting the pc version this is worth checking out. Makes you wonder if just a single dedicated fan can do this in less than 24 hours after the game is released how come the devs couldn't do it themselves in the months since they announced the pc version?

Whatever the case mods are what make pc gaming great and I can't wait to play this game in the next week or two after I get my GW2 fix out of the way.

When I had my 360 I enjoyed the game, almost bought it for PS3 but then heard about the PC version. All the subsequent stories of the bad port killed it for me though. Hopefully, like you say trag3dy, the modders can really make the game what it should be on PC. I just might get it.

Did you get the game already?

Yes it is a quick/bad port but it works.

I am glad they actually listened to fans and released it for PC (with new content). Right from the start From Software have said they don't have much experience with PC development and are struggling. So it was expected that the port wasn't going to be great. I am just hoping a lot of people still buy the game because you have to give them credit for having a go and listening to fans. A lot of publishers don't do that.

Also if people buy the game, it might make them invest more in PC development for future games. I'd love an Armoured Core on the PC.

Glad the mod cleans up the screen a bit but the game is still perfectly playable without. I'd rather have this as it is on the PC than no Dark Souls on the PC.

I am getting annoyed with people invading my game. I was in the depths and quite far in, had loads of humanity, lots of souls. Some guy came in and killed me. So i had to get back down there to retrieve it. Nearly there and i got cursed (no humanity) and died! So i lost all my original souls/humanity!

I know the game is supposed to be hard but i wish i could switch off people invading my game. I don't want to have to block the game with my firewall, just to stop it going online.

      After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
