Well it’s only because from software did a really shit job at porting the game. Elden Ring plays fine with the mouse and keyboard.
Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse
degen@midwest.social 2 months agoOh I played the hell out of the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls. Keyboard and mouse was the objectively wrong way to play the game lmao

For sure. I wasn’t even mad it was rushed and just was stoked to have it on pc. I remember a petition going around cause everybody wanted it so bad.
It was a culture shock when I realized how well later games played lol

Haha what an absolute masochist! I’m impressed.
I played through Jedi: Fallen Order, which was my intro into the genre, then tried it for Elden Ring and got hard stuck in the opening area. Still pretty useless at them overall but no longer feel like I’m battling against the control. It’s 100% just a skill issue.

To be fair, I did use a controller, so it wasn’t that bad. It even ran way better with the hd mod than the 360 version ever did.
I did get kind of masochistic with it though lol. My last run was a soul level 1 that I think I stopped playing around Anor Londo. If I remember correctly, the archers were rage inducing and I never got back into it. It’s probably still my all-time favorite game, jank and all.
