10 Broken Video Games That Fans Had To Fix

10. Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition

Dark Souls may have released to rave reviews when it landed on the PS3 and Xbox in 2011, but its PC port released the next year? Not so much.

In the wake of colossal anticipation, fans were infuriated to find FromSoftware's PC port a broken mess, with the developer apparently struggling to port the game due to their inexperience with PC as a platform.

By far the most objectionable element of the port was that it was locked at 720p resolution with a framerate of just 30fps, effectively making it little better than the version available on consoles.

Beyond that, FromSoftware failed to correctly translate the controls to PC, meaning mouse and keyboard functionality were a clunky mess at best.

Though FromSoftware didn't lift much of a finger to help, within two days computer science PhD student Peter Thoman - now better known by his modder pseudonym "Durante" - released DSFix, a mod which removed the resolution and framerate caps, significantly improving the core experience.

A few months later, modder "lebbers" released DSMfix, which remedied the controls. And like that, a terrible port became a pretty damn good one, with no help from the actual people who made and sold the game, mind.

Hell in 2013, Dark Souls II producer Takeshi Miyazoe flat-out admitted that the PC port was rushed to market and the problems were expected. Yikes.
