I'm absolutely favorable to mouse and keyboard as control system (in fact, they are pretty much my favorite one) and I still wouldn't advice anyone to play this game with anything else than a controller.

I posted above with several other points distinct from (or ancillary to) the combat, and I can elaborate on them if you'd like. I've played a lot of QW keyboard only because we didn't have a (working) mouse for each pc in our computer lab, I even prefer keyboard over the xbox gamepad for fighting games.Īll I read about the game is how wonderfully difficult it's combat is, without any info in regards to why it's worth the time investment. People are different, that doesn't mean they are weirdos and keep in mind practice is a big factor. It's not exactly a fast game, the camera has a lot of automated movement (because the thumb sticks are so terrible) and I'd take the precision kb offers and the fact that I can access all the actions without cramping my hand any day. I found it better keyboard only than controller (mouse fix wasn't quite there yet). I came across people claiming that M&KB for this game were 'just as good' in the past (which I still think it's mostly bullshit), but you're probably the first one in existence that I read who's capable of claiming that they are even better than a controller.

The world is full of weirdos, apparently. Quote from: Tuco Benedicto Pacifico on October 14, 2013, 05:07:22 am Assume absolutely everything is going to kill you. After that it's off to Anal Rodeo to fight Snorlax and Pikachu. Just finishing Blighttown.Īfter Blighttown is Sen's Funhouse. I'm also probably not very far into the game and I have a feeling that things are gonna get crazy later on. I'm also not finding the game too terribly difficult - aside from stunlocks while learning boss attack patterns, I hardly die. Being able to quickly and freely move the camera was by itself almost enough reason to ditch the controller. That was the worst part of using m/kb, once I had that sorted out there wasn't much of a comparison. Playing Dark Souls on PC Playing Dark Souls on PC
