AUTUMN STEAM SALE NOV 27-DEC 3: The wallet slaughter begins now. - Page 2

I'm interested in Dark Souls but have heard mixed reactions to the PC version. It recommends using a controller, but I probably won't have a controller adapter until Christmas atleast. Are the keyboard + mouse still usable?

Otherwise, I grabbed Deponia since Harvey's New Eyes was really fun. Plan on grabbing the other entries before the sale is up.

Controller is optimal, but apparently people can have a passable experience with keyboard and mouse. Also you are a wise man for taking on ultimate-endgame-bossmode-difficulty point-and-click adventure.

In addition, the controller has to be xinput enabled or it will just not work with Dark Souls. Just a heads up.

So far I have bought nothing on the steam sale, but that other part of the divekick 2 pack went to me.

So Rogue Legacy is incredibly frustrating. I get that you're going to die and that each playthrough is different but come on, I want to punch through my monitor after 15 mins.

This post more than anything else has convinced me I need this game. Funny how that works.

It really is much lighter than the usual Roguelike, as you can grind your tower if you're having a hard time and if you missed something, just ask for the Architect to lock the castle, you can do it as many times as you want.

rogue legacy is tame, man. Now Risk of Rain? there's a fine example of remorseless destruction that increases exponentially every minute.

I must agree, Risk of Rain is a fantastic clusterfuck of roguelike progression that maintains the right amount of conflicting messages for a good panic.

You must stay and collect items so you can survive the harder encounters, but if you stay too long then the harder encounters come to you and you won't survive.

Using Keyboard on Dark Souls would be a lot easier if the devs had changed the button prompts to keys rather than leaving them exactly the same as they were on Xbox.

Probably going to wait on that controller adapter. Otherwise the game looks promising. At the very least, waiting to grab it allowed me to get it at $6 rather than $10.

And in case you were not aware, mod the game to make it less console port-y shitty. Mainly DSFix, but there's a whole slew of mods nowadays probably.
