No 360 button prompts?
Playing with a controller but all the button prompts are for keyboard. This is my first DW game and I know none of the controls. THis is really frustrating. Anyway to get them to show up?

Unfortunately, nope. It really does suck for newcomers. But it's a fairly simple game, so it shouldn't take you too long to get used to it. As long as your buttons are mapped accordingly to the usual DW setup.

Unfortunately not, however it's something you'll eventually get used to as the people above me have said. Once you figure out what action the icons are actually prompting it doesn't matter too much, the controls themselves are pretty straightforward.

IE, the icon that shows a horizontal arrow is prompting you to mount something, which means LTrigger or A for mounts and vehicles, or just A for ladders, assuming default controller setup.

So you can't map the keys? You just have to get used to what's what?

you can remap the keys, but the button prompt still the same
My biggest problem, is that A = B and B = A, so I have to either press B to select something, or press B to jump. I wish you could select what the confirm button was.

Yes, you can map the keys how you want them, just not have A be jump and confirm.

as above ^^
was searching the forums for 360 button icons...i guess it doesn't have any love for pc 360 controller :(

and yea A=B and B=A is sooooo annoying it takes me around 5 mins just to get to gameplay because of the confirm button weirdness
Musou Attack is the confirm button, instead of Jump being confirm button, so I keep on using Musou Attack, instead of Jumping. >_>

blue is light attack, yellow is heavy attack, red is special, green is jump

LB is block, RB is weapon switch, Lt is horse, RT is change map





there you go, now you can kill some chinese.
I switched it, so that RT is Block and LT is Map, as that's closer to the setup in SW 3.

I was actually relieved to find this layout... this is how it works on most Japanese Playstation games. "O" button for "ok", "X" button for "cancel" or "back".... and the only reason I got my PS3 was so I could import the Japanese copies of SSM6 and 7 (DW7 and 8), Musou Orochi Z and 2 (3) and Sengoku Musou 3 and 4 (Samuari Warriors).

I don't like the button prompts or how when you look in the mapping it lists things like "J1 Axis4+", but I've got used to it already. The game is good fun.

My wishlist has reduced now to:
- Add the DW8 achievements to the set... so people can unlock -something- in the first 100 hours of play.
- Add SteamCloud support
- Japanese voice pack
