I don't think anyone in Fromsoft has actually ridden a horse.

Some of the worst horse controls I've experienced in a game.

Its not called "Horse simulator"

[Lunacy]

then learn how to use it, it's completely fine once you're used to it

It is kinda poor. Gotta be one of the slowest mounts in the history of video games. That's like 30% of the speed a regular hose could go.

It would be nice if when you try to turn Torrent around, it didn't do that harsh jerky partial step forward into the 180 turn that is prone to walking you off the edge of cliffs.

Why is the horse slippery as a soap?

[Sparrowlicious]

This is the funniest criticism of this game for me because fun fact, fighting from your horse is weird and hard in Skyrim as are the horse controls. Same with Dragon Age Inquisition. Awful horse controls and weird animation in some ports of the game.

Meanwhile the horse in Elden Ring is actually usable and has a useful double jump, let's be honest. You just have to consider that this mount has four legs (DUH) so you need to account for that when you do jumping sections.

Um. Torrent is one of the most natural feeling and realistic mounts I've ever ridden in a game. Have you ridden a horse?

However, that does not mean easy to control. Cause of the natural animation things like slipping off cliffs can happen cause game physics are nothing like real life physics.

Point is, it is natural and realistic feeling. But that doesn't always translate to perfect and easy to play in a game.

same, it's the best horse in games i can think of, and i don't see people posting examples of "good" horses

I mean, the controls are tight.... but realistic? Yes, yes, I have mounted horses before, but even if I haven't, I don't think horses jump and 180 like that.

None of you guys have played Red Dead Redemption 2. That's the best and most realistic horse riding in game that I've yet seen, the physics and representation of inertia and movement, anyway.

Torrent doesn't move like a real horse-like creature at all. Way too jerky and responsive, while clumsy an inaccurate at the same time and is super slow. It would be nice if it could run faster outside of combat so we're not plodding along at such a slow pace all the time.

EDIT: Note "Horse-like" creature. Everyone including their 7 year old little brother knows it's not a real horse and real horses can't double jump. We've already had 5 or 6 big brains try to pull out that brilliant gem.

*sigh* It's sad that needs to be pointed out.

Red Dead Redemption 2 for me has the most realistic mount for the genre.

You have clearly never met a real dog. Stop this nonsense.

I grew up with spirit horses that could appear at the sound of a magic whistle, and they did in fact act exactly like Torrent in this game.

What? The mount controls nicely dude .

Neat.

If you want realistic over fun then just go outside.
