it was? I don't remember it being horrible on PC

Yeah.
Quote from the director Yui Tanimura


And it was. They didn't bother changing any of the Xbox button command prompts. So it would show press A button to continue showing the Xbox button, but it's something totally different for you.
And it was horrible to try and play with the keyboard.

well I never tried kb/m, and I always have my controller essentially appearing like an Xbox controller to my games, so no way for me to really notice that

Yeah I forget what it was exactly, but it was something like they had sprint mapped to one key and you weren't able to do that sprint that ends with a jump and roll that you would use to get to ledges.

well another thought is based on how the game does control, mapping in a way that is good for kb/m probably wouldn't be easy with how it's designed, hell I'd imagine it'd need a bit of an interface rework since some of the interface is setup in a way that best matches a controller, but not so much a kb
the game just has to much going on to really get what I imagine would be a good kb layout

but outside of those I never noticed any issues with 2 or the SOTFS release on PC

Looks moderately easy tbh

a bunch of youtubers and streamers have the game now
although they are only allowed to show 1/3 of the game before april 8th

they got it apparently to keep up with the fact it's already out in japan

looks the same of dark souls 2....

from what I've seen so far it has some interesting looking differences
