I was watching your video. Does your game run that choppy in real life?

I had Dark Souls installed on my PC. For a long time I've been wanting to give it another run, but then my GPU exploded. I replaced it, but unfortunately my PC just wouldn't run the game anymore, so I uninstalled it and was left with no other option but to install Dark Souls II (which I really didn't want to play).

As I first started playing it, it made me want to play the first game even more, so I scrapped all laziness away and installed it again. To my horror, the game ran like s**t. I didn't remember it running it so badly (even if using and carefully configuring the DSFix mod), which became much more perceivable after seeing how smooth DSII ran. Yeah, I know Blighttown always had its issues, but that was for everybody, not just me. Anyway, the overall visuals were just not pleasing to the eye anymore, so I uninstalled the game again and don't know when I'll have the courage to give it another try.

Watching your video, I noticed it runs extremely choppy and dark. Does it really look that bad when you play it?
