Oh, well that makes sense.. lol

I killed 3 and 1/2 of them a couple of times but kept dying on the last one.

I thought this was a linear game so I presumed I was failing at the easiest task.
Use a blunt weapon to kill the skeleton

If possible, get an Divine weapon to make sure they stay down and to deal extra damage

Ok, so. Guys. PS3 version, or PC version?
Is the PC port good enough and the new content worth the extra $$$?

PC version if you have a gamepad and can add the fix I'd say

If you've never played it and are going to get one at this point, definitely get the PC version. It looks beautiful, has the extra content, plays just as well with a gamepad, the fix is tiny and takes about 2 seconds to save into your game folder and that's it, you're done. It makes no permanent changes and comes with a very simple to follow readme in case you want to change anything or remove it, but by default everything is set up perfectly when you put it in the folder. You just have to make sure you turn the in game AntiAliasing option off. Plus I figure most people who are just now getting into it are playing the PC version, so if you're interested in the multiplayer aspect at all it's probably the best route.

I pirated it to see if it was worth the purchase and it's way too fucking clunky to pick up for more than $15. I'll wait for the steam winter sale.

The game just doesn't feel fluid. None of the combat mechanics felt responsive enough, even walking around wasn't comfortable. The camera is horrible, and the default controls felt extremely awkward for the 360 controller.

I mean I will pick this up when it's <$15. I just don't think it's worth the hype it's receiving.

I played it for an hour or two and then I uninstalled. I'm fine with waiting for the price to go down. Hopefully you're right and it does suck me in when I actually purchase the game.
