Are you a PC gamer who can’t wait to finally get their hands on and play Dark Souls? If so, here’s what you’ll need in your rig in order to head off to the land of Lordran.

OS: Windows XP , Windows Vista, Windows 7, or newer
Processor: 2.6 GHz Dual-Core
Memory: 1 GB (XP), 2GB (Vista/7)
Hard Disk Space: 4 GB
Video Card: 512 MB RAM, ATI Radeon 4850 or higher, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or higher
DirectX: 9.0c
Sound: Direct Sound Compatible
Additional: Multiplayer requires microphone headset support

The idea of being able to voice chat with other players in Dark Souls still feels to bizarre to me. Isn’t having other players come in and utterly demolish me enough? Now I have to listen to them laughing at my pathetic attempts at offense, and calling me names while gleefully slaughtering me?
