Do I suck or are the controls clunky?

[Dysbro]

I just can't get behind the controls, something feels off

[Spynion]

you didn't buy the dlc for controls my guy

I like the inertia but really despise anything that take away the control from the player, and there is a lot of this in this game.

Whoever designed 'platforming' AND 'bow mode' needs a good spanking. Literally.

I died twice due to my character just either free-running like it's assassins creed off a random edge of a cliff, or worse ♥♥♥♥♥♥ world geometry when you're walking on logs and your pawn pushes you off to your death.

I genuinely swear if you fall more than one floor, you are dead. We weren't THAT fragile in Dragons Dogma 1 and worst is the only way to restore "missing health (Not white covered)" is to make a camp/rest rather than use healing items for a full heal. Game is just more inconvenient than challenging, yay how original.

Why is this game trying to be Red Dead/Souls like so much? Who are these brain rot morons that hate "instant player movement/control", when you press your character to do something, they SHOULD do it.

[Ambrozy]

Not really. Feels fine.

[Demistic]

The controls are clunky, and even a slow jog has you taking several moments to stop moving. It is annoying and very troublesome when you try to be precise.

[BINARYGOD]

no, the game is just bad in many ways - it was charming for many other obvious and non-obvious reasons 12 years ago, but here we are with a mostly9the-same sequel like its ten years ago, and well... welcome to modern-day gaming. Nintendo-sometimes/Sony-sometimes/MS-sometimes/Indies-frequently, but anything else and you are f@cked.

It's basically the character turning. It's made for controllers, not whipping around with the mouse. That's what makes it feel heavy. The camera itself turns fast enough, but the character doesn't respond to a turn instantly. I'll probably get used to it, but yeah, feels kinda mushy.

Been circle strafing mobs and dodging attacks as a glass cannon since the days of Quake, not being able to do so kinda bites. I made a fighter just so I could have a shield

You probably suck, because I love the controls. I hope you're not using a kb/m, because even the developers state on the main page that you should use a controller for this game.

That shouldn't be the case though, the original Dragons Dogma had excellent Keyboard/Mouse controls. The devs really need to optimize the Keyboard/mouse controls if they want to release it on PC. One thing they could do to help is unlock the Alt key to allow people to bind stuff to it. In DD1 Alt was the block key and right mouse button was the heavy attack/Impale attack. It feels so natural having the impale attack as the V key.

The gameplay is worse than DD1 in most ways.

im old and my hands hurt from my controller use after 3 hours
