Arm wrestling

[Echo Zakarias]

So I just started the game and already I'm suck with arm wrestling being broken.

I try to move my mouse but it's so sluggish and unresponsive even on max sensitivity that I could just throw it across the room and even that would hardly do anything worthwhile. Can somebody explain to me how this thing actually meant to work?

I watch videos of the minigame and I just dont understand what is going on and for all I know the game is broken and my laptop cant handle it... which is unlikely because I do have a high end gaming laptop.

I have the lowest sensitivity and I arm wrestle no problem. Dunno.

After more reading into the controls it turns out that me consistently sliding the mouse right doesnt do anything because apparently the minigame was designed with joystic taps in mind. How ever I cant "tap" the mouse accurately because it's not how a mouse functions. The devs really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up this minigame and managed to create one of the worst ever minigames I've ever seen.

This game should not exist on PC in this kind of state when you cant even port something as simple as a minigame to function right. Now I understand why combat and controls overall are so bad in this game.

I think your overexagerating slightly, you can play the whole game without arm wrestling once, its a tiny mini sub games.

Lets all kick off about gta v because the darts minigame is crap.

The fact is plenty of people using mouse and keyboard can arm wrestle fine and as I say, its only a tiny tiny part of the game, that you can totally ignore anyway.

Oh and by the way it was not ported to pc, it came out first on pc and was ported to consoles nearly a year later. :p

Funnily the controls dont feel natural for a PC tho.

And I know it's first world problems, but I'm a completionist and I like to do everything in a game...

But it might just be the fact that I started off arm wrestling the knight in the arena rather than the tutorial character. I started off with arena just to get a taste of the combat and skills.

Playing on PC, works just fine when you're used to it. The trick is to barely move the mouse at all; the circle indicator follows the horizontal bar across the screen for the most part, you just need to move the mouse *gently* where required to keep it in. It was a little frustrating for me too in the beginning, but once you get the feel of it, it becomes surprisingly easy - and a good way to farm Orens quickly. :^)

The fist moves on momentum, you can jack up the sensitivity on the mouse (I have two buttons that can do that) and ever so slightly move the mouse in the direction the bar is moving.

It took me a few attempts till I worked out Arm Wrestling. It is about keeping the cursor in the bar not moving it all the way to the right...
