Is Dark Souls 2 a good PC port?

How to beat Vendrick in Dark Souls 2?
Attack him right after you defeat Velstadt. You can’t rest at the bonfire or leave the location.
You can begin the fight later,after a rest,without any Giant Souls in your equipment.
Start the fight after collecting all the Giant Souls. There are exactly five of them and each one reduces Vendrick’s resistance by a half.
