The LULz are real, at the events themselves, blues original news post, and CJ Parker's comment #2 which says it all. 

 

Been playing The Evil Within 2. It is good. Slightly less creepy and fucked up than the first (still some fine moments), slightly more sensible / logical, more of a gameplay emphasis. 

Dark Souls 3 for £16

PC controls are semi-broken, bosses are often terrible, save points are badly spaced.....and the design and aesthetic and theme and looks and monsters and everything is the best realisation of dark gothic fantasy you will ever see. Get it if you didn't last year. 

but haven't really been able to dive in because of the horrendous controls. I've attempted it several times at this point. Steam supports dualshock2 now so perhaps I'll give them another whirl. Again. 

Sure, you CAN use kb/m but it feels bad. Don't do it! :) 

That is completely 100% wrong: Dark Souls is a 3rd person action game and just like any other 3rd person action game (FAKK2, Alice, Severance, Enclave, Evil Within/2, Tomb Raider/ROTR etc etc) controls perfectly - IF THE PORT AND KEY REBINDS WORK - with mouse and keyboard. 

Quake: Sure, you CAN use kb/m, but a joystick and foot pedals feels much better man!! 

Hugs and kisses Shamb. 

 

unless you're going for pure masochism, which is kind of in line with the series? 

And you are part of the problem. Welcome to killing PC gamning, fucktards. 

Daz explained the "benefit" of a controller - analogue movement speed, wow fuck me I am trying to think of anything LESS relevant and useful to the main challenges of Dark Souls 3. Oh yeah trying to take ouf Dragonslayer Armour in a tiny arena, that analogue movement is gonna really help compared to the ability to dodge quick, time attacks, predict twatarmours attacks, decide when to heal, choose attack types, react in milliseconds etc etc. Or maybe it fucking won't. 

IIRC DS1 and 2 are fairly broken with PC controls and definitely broken with key rebinds, I perma-deleted DS2 and should have filed for a refund.

DS3 is broken with key rebinds but IS fixable with GlovePie, although if you use WASD I think it's fine out of the box. Either way it is definitely 100% playable and perfectly fine, I am a DS3 nub and not a hardcore masochist, and had no problem with the game apart from the huge challenge spikes on some bosses (most of which are trivially easy in coop).

HTH (since no-one else is being helpful). 

I may download it this afternoon and test out steam's fairly recent dualshock2 support. fingers crossed. 

That we all have been waiting for instead of the multiplayer only Quake Champions:

or

Pretty much self explanatory, this injects raw mouse input for camera control, allows to set different sensitivity for regular camera/bow aim camera plus enables pretty much any arbitrary bindings. Use in conjunction with a gamepad if you want, too.

In other news, people speedrun devil may cry 3 with a keyboard only...

What is so broken about dks3 key rebinds anyway? 

Can't rebind mouse buttons to movement functions (possibly can't rebind mouse buttons at all?). I just set some arbitrary keys to movement and GlovePie to emulate them with mouse buttons. 

is always an option. Even with Dark Souls 2 (too bad it won't fix boring levels tho). 

Style is still great. Gameplay seems entirely bollox. Video commentary is better than both:

Hopefully the devs will see this and put some proper gameplay in. TBH my overwhelming thought is "the style of this game would be perfect for a stylish, excitingly themed modern retro shooter with proper normal run and gun gameplay". Doubt they'll realise that potential tho. 

Though I wasn’t expecting much from scorn 

I watched that very video last night. Looks interesting. I like that all the information is diegetic. Kinda makes the crosshair a little out of place. Perhaps they can incorporate that into the world somehow.

Would like to more action, though. 

I've been sick so spending a lot of time on the couch this holiday weekend. I happened upon Ravenfield which is a SP only, very minimalist remake of Battlefield 2. Pretty over the top but super fun. If you liked BF2 this is a good time-waster / substitute.

It's early access but very playable. I think this one will really shine if they fix a few things and add the promised content.

On demand slo-mo is worth the price of admission.

I have always benefited of "analogue movement speed" with keyboard+mouse in decently designed games...you just tap the fucking direction/go key more or less rapidly unless you want full speed....duh ;D

Works great in most games
