Did they fix the controls working well with PC's

Heard in videos its really set up for consoles and changing angles etc are a pain and you have to use the keyboard, and possibly other issues. Was this fixed? Any answers on this?

This game is fully playable with mouse and keyboard but I strongly suggest you use a gamepad as the game is very much a console port. Also, in multiplayer games you'll notice a tether, as in you have to stay within earshot of the other player(s)- most find this highly irritating, and while there is no "official" fix, you can google how to access the in-game console which does have a boolean setting for the tethering.

Thanks for the useful info! It is the main reason I was hesitant to purchase the game haha

The controls with m/kb are an abortion. I have no idea how they managed to ♥♥♥♥ them up so badly.

I re-mapped 'a' and 'd' to move/straife left and right. That meant the keys no longer rotate the camera, and it becomes pretty unplayable...but... Then I found holding down middle mouse button rotates the camera fully, excellent! That's exactly how we controlled camera rotate in DS+2, as is mousing to the edge of the screen. Sometimes, and I don't know why it even holds the entire mouse movement to 'rotate'. For as long as you don't use the mouse for another command that is. Anyway I am trying to reproduce it so I can manage to do it allways rather than only sometimes.

You can play, but it's horrible!
better attach an XBOX 360 controller, much better.
I don't know how gaming mags in germany gave this ♥♥♥♥ 9/10 or 85%.
alone the "playability" with mouse/keyboard deserves a 50%...

Actually when you re-map the keys the game runs well. It took me about half-to-an-hour of playing to get it properly, but now - second nature. I agree the game is great.

I think there was a massive dissapointment at first with the game, with the controls because they were unmappable. For left handed players in particular that was a terrible bind. Community backlash caused the developers to patch mappable controls. It plays really well with the keys as I said, excellent in fact.

I did understand the point of using a controller as the keys were at first. I take on board that controllers (systems) are gigantically popular. Even though I only recently heard of using controllers with PC, somehow buying one passed me by. I have always been happy with all games, to stick to PC and PC controls.

buy logitech gamepad is less than 20$ and it same as Xbox

controls isn't bad; if someone doesn't know middle mouse button, it's not the game's fault

@ aaslangoren, and everyone, and tony666,

Yes it's fine. The camera rotate works exactly as it did in DS1+2; middle mouse and mouse to edge of screen. (Middle mouse is listed in control config as camera rotate, but then I found it by accident too.)

Movement control I find slightly preferable in DS3, compared to DS1+2. 'W a s d', are slightly more intuitive than point and click to move. Since they are re-mappable then movement can be assigned to arrow keys for left handed players. (DS1+2 still good fun though, even by today's standards.)

I'd say, yes the controls are fixed, since they were unre-mappable when DS3 was released. It was community backlash which made the game developers patch the 'fault' of un-configurable control keys.

i cant even start a game because not 1 key on my keyboard or mouse will accept the difficulty i select....

that's weird, tho, that the steam store page for ds 3 doesnt say partial or full controller support. controller support is very important to me, since im on a recliner in front of a tv, so im a lot more likely to buy it if it has controller support. they might be losing sales by not mentioning that this game has full controller support.

Works like charm with any controler and x360ce...
