    I do over 90% of my gammeing on a PC.  Everything I've heard about the PC port says it's crap.  So which is the bigger pain?  Crappy xbox hardware, or the lazy port?

    OP sounds really silly in his post.  He puts down pc version because it a port.. therefore, worst case scenario you're playing the same game on better hardware.  PTD is simply amazing, I couldn't be happier with this game.

    Dark Souls + DLC not released yet on console + Resolution Fix + Controller = EPIC 1080p GAMEPLAY
    I think you're wrong

    There's nothing silly about that. Better hardware doesn't necessarily mean a better experience. Ports can be bad even for good games. Without the resolution, having the engine locked to the same resolution as the Xbox version pretty much defeats any hardware advantage and if you're expecting a typical Keyboard+Mouse experience, things don't sound so rosy for the PC (I haven't played it yet myself).

    I've played it with keyboard and mouse after installing the fix and it's wonderful.You just have to change the buttons the right way.

    The port isn't that bad, it's the same as the console version, but with new content, cheaper and with mouse issues (I also disabled "Wall Camera" or something like that in the options because the camera behaved oddly with walls).
    You should get it for PC and download DSFix (Resolution Fix), which will make the game look amazing (much better than on consoles) and play with an X360 controller or, if you want to use keyboard and mouse, also download the Mouse Fix. Also, the game will load a lot faster on PC and (using DSFix) you'll have other graphics/game options besides playing at whatever resolution you want (like SSAO)... Damn, I thought this topic was new.
