    I'm getting really close to beating Dark Souls 2 but kinda stuck once again so tabled it for now before I break something

    Been fucking around a little on Dolphin too.

    Also got L.A. Noir on ye olde PC. Just went so far as completing the first desk last night - basically a tutorial section. Having weird problems configuring the game though. Settings set lower that should have an improvement having the reverse effect and so on. It's really weird. According to compatabilty recomendations I should be able to run it on mid-high at 1080p. But nope.

    fucked around a little with some old school nes and snes stuff off and on for the last couple of weeks too. A little Castlevania 3 and 4, a little Mario and TMNT 4......PREHISTORIC TURTLESAURUS!!!!

    And um yeah, about it. Blah.

    That's because a console 'remaster' (higher resolution) is a standard feature on PC unless a developer was daft .

    Would probably be better than here man XD. I mean a dead end job is not seen as something holy in america, here in england im being told im not good enough to clean toilets ¬_¬ or stack shelves or indeed anything like that and manual labour? Almost gone and what's left gets chocked in insurance bullshit "can't have you on site without insurance" (this came from being so desperate i offered to work for free)...all the while the job center keep setting the moving hoops on fire. Only thing they say im good for is the new "work based help development programs!". Starts off with:
    A) we sit you down infront of our little computers child (yes, sometimes these "THINGS" have that type of patronising personality) and we look over your shoulder to see what you are doing ^^
    when this fails and we KNOW it will, this leads to:
    B) we put you on a slave labour job, 7 till 5 (sometimes 9) EVERY day saturdays included for 150 pound every 2 weeks, yes we know this is WAY under minimum wage, yes we KNOW this is slave labour but we are the government if you dont like it WEEEEELL you can go on the street little souless animal ^^ maybe a food bank that we denied the existence off for 6 years will give you some food? but we doubt it, we started to shut them down! OH DEAR!

    I believe the game was originally built for consoles, so the PC version is a port. A port of a last gen console game.
    Maybe it is possible to force 4k I wouldn't know You probably have to mess around with files or whatever.
    But there isn't an official release or patch to improve the game to current gen standards.

    Some of the dialogue has changed now anyway, ok so not much and it's only related to questioning. I remember reading that originally the relevant dialogue was intended to be different than what it was in the first release.

    Depends on how well they ported it. If it wasn't done by monkeys the engine/game will support arbitrary resolutions and framerates and have better textures.
