Attention all Dark Souls players - Input lag, do you get it or is it just me?

Is it just me or is it just Dark Souls that has input lag no matter how good of a monitor you have? Specifically, when using an Xbox 360 wired controller. I notice a lot of input lag and it makes speedrunning this game very difficult. Do you get it on your system?

I'm playing with the Xbox 360 Wired Controller, and I have no input lag at all.

Besides the usual game mechanics.

Keep in mind the game is capped at 30FPS, with some drops in unoptimized places, that increases the latency and input lag.

No noticeable input lag for me. Although you should remember that the game tends to buffer your inputs for a pretty long time. So if you press two buttons in a row second input often still gets executed after the first action is completed. So in short: don't mash buttons :P

That's one of the few things I feel DS2 actually improved upon. It messed up a lot of different things, but its general UI design is better than DS1.

The response time is usually exaggerated/wrong when looking at specifications in the product manual and the website for the company that made the display, you'll want to check review websites to see the actual response time.

Well, my monitor is rather old. Been using it for atleast 8 years by now. So it's just connected by normal old-fashioned cable. Actually a cable and an adapter cause its cable jack doesn't match with my graphic card.

Although i'll admit when I bought it I was specifically looking for something with as low response times as possible.

Everyone has it, those who say otherwise are just used to it and don't notice it. It's a bug in the engine, check bug #1 here: http://darksouls.wikidot.com/bugs

I'm playing with a PowerA controller, no input lag at all

I suggest you re-read what's stated, it clearly says it doesn't affect everyone, and it's more common on consoles.
