Partial Controller Support?

[keoninumuri]

How is this using a controller? It says only partial controller support. I don't want to buy it and play without being able to use a controller though...

u can but you need to basicly bind every control to what button u want, its a pain but worth it if u cant use one, id get used to keyboard if i were u but u can use a controler but you will need to do some work to set up before u play, also u need to disable a audio thing in your pc settings wich is easy, message me and i can help u do the audio thing

Yeah, try playing dark souls with your mouse and keyboard. I'm sure you'll love it.

And as for some actual non-patronizing help, what kind of controller do you use?

Edit: Forgot to mention, if you use one of steam's supported controller types (I use an Xbox controller), you can load up a community made controller configuration. Worst case scenario, I can help you make one

I use this: https://www.gamestop.ie/Playstation%203/Games/58023 It's a wired generic PS3 type controller. I originally played this game and Battlefront 1 on the PS2. I wouldn't have any interest in playing it with a laptop mouse and keyboard. Thanks for the help.

Ok, first you should test to see if your controller supports steams profile system. If you add me here I can get you instructions really quick

The game should be stated as having full controller support to play it, but it could just be because the main menu for this game doesn't have controller support. I don't see regular controllers navigating the main menu, but the Steam controller could be an exception. Can't say I know, though, since I've never tried that sort yet.

The game has some pretty good keybinding for controllers so you should be good once you have a controller hooked up to your system and get everything set up in the settings.

Love it? I sure did.

I went through everything on Dark Souls 3 with Mouse and Keyboard. No regrets had.

first of all he's not talking to you D*ckhead, also what about fighting games ? marvel or smash ? what about 3d platformers ? what about local multiplayer / coop games ? there's plenty of instance where controller is more comfortable / superior / better

Over two years late there, but let me clarify on some confusion I think you may have:

To start off, he didn't need to be talking to me for me to make a comment to his statement. Dark Souls 3 was a fun game that's quite nice with even M&K so I put it in a lil' cheeky manner to his obvious sarcasm. No harm done.

Second, I think you missed the first part of my post which showed me being supportive towards games having the proper implementation for controllers. I wasn't here trying to say that M&K was better than controller in all scenarios either.

There are a good number of games I'd happily play with controller like on my Switch though it would be pretty neat to see how they play with M&K input. Mario Kart is especially interesting when using the mouse for turning, acceleration, and item uses (You can play with just a mouse which is pretty awesome since I can drink at the same time). It's overall, for the most part, a matter of preference unless you're going for top optimization like with aiming in a FPS game or selection methods like for RTS ones.

But really though, just lighten up. I'm not here to get into input device elitism if that's how one can describe it.

If you waited more months to post that comment, it could've been four years late instead of just three. Oh well.

M&K input is very flexible for lots of games. Would recommend.

dark souls if mouse and keyboard is so much better than controller imo

I have no idea why this discussion is going on but I will deliver my enlightened take after five and a half years of meditation.

Just play with whatever you're most comfortable with.

'Bout time I set this record straight
All the needle-nose punchin' is makin' me irate
Sick o' my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' fallin' on deaf ears
Where you gonna be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools and all the politics
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got ♥♥♥♥ when they passed out the good stuff
Bam, are you sick of me? Good enough, had enough'
