yeah i agree. it's super cool that there's things like jumps sometimes randomly delaying, not being able to stop sprinting so you slide off of cliffs, etc.

i'll give you jumping, they added a separate jump function in dark souls 2 to alleviate that. but sprinting? i wouldnt know because i dont sprint next to cliffs that seems really stupid

my favorite dark souls 2 thing is the legion of games goons going uhhh its not a problem that the UI is extremely finicky and all the controls are unlabeled because they didnt bother changing the graphics for the UI from the xbox version

like i will concede that as a console brawler with a lazy port, i shouldn't be suprised that it has terrible keyboard controls. but dark souls 2 really raised the bar of what 'lazy console port' meant, because now i guess it includes just not telling you what the controls actually are unless you have an xbox controller connected.

I'll concede that the kb/m controls are sorta rear end, but the controls overall are really straightforward and solid. Have you never played a 3D zelda, Larry?

I think dark souls is a lot of people's first real experience with heavily buffered inputs in a third person game like that.

I didn't like any of them. Then again I don't own a nintendo console so maybe there's something I'm missing.

I would argue Dark Souls 1 is the far, far lazier port, in that it barely worked at all until some random internet guy whipped up a fix for free on launch day.

Also I never tried to play with KB/M so I can't comment there but all of the controls are great with the sole exception of jumping, which still sucks in Dark Souls 2 even with the "improved" jumping controls.
