It bothers me a little that a PC port for a game as big as DS doesn't have proper support for the peripherals that the platform is likely to use, I mean come on, even the action pop ups still show the Xbox buttons which to me screams shitty port and makes it all the harder to get used to KB&M. I even went back and played DS1 one again with a pad and it just feels.
I eventually caved and bought a pad to play with and I've never looked back. the general consensus seemed to be that without the use of third party mods for hotkeys and bindings the game was broken with KB&M. I found myself struggling to pull off simple actions like jump attacks and guard breaks at all, let alone consistentely.Īfter doing some digging online and asking questions on forums etc. I managed to battle my way through the first Dark Souls with KB&M and while it took a little getting used to I got proficient with it fairly quickly and had no issues progressing or beating others (the majority presumably using controllers) in PvP.ĭark Souls 2 on the other hand I found almost impossible to play with KB&M with key bindings being different from the first game and not having a lot of freedom when it came to what actions you could bind to keys.
