Dark Souls II

Never tried the mouse fixes but I've heard it is pretty good, but if you are planning to play DKS 1 and 2 better borrow or pick up a cheap controller and an USB cable

I just want to try out the game (i'm pirating anyway), to get the feel before I purchase DS2 for real

I have played about 40 hours without a controller and I thought it was bearable, your directional control is fairly awful though. The amount of times I have fallen off the world is tremendous. If you can stop yourself from judging the game on your mediocre controls you should still be able to form an impression of the combat and the design, which are absolutely excellent.

Started on friday, and finished now ~41h played. Enjoyed this game a lot, more than dark souls 1 i believe. You can also choose to not go NG+ instantly, so im finishing some of the bosses i missed now. Sorcery was fun, might try dual weilding now.

Well it works, controls are fucked but it's playable, but game is awesome and has made my butt hurt hard already in the second zone (those church ruins or whatever) with some golden knights killing me there and some big hairy dude killing me somewhere else, had to repeat 7 times and I still haven't figured it out
Awesome difficulty indeed.

At least didnt make the mistake most do and went to the graveyard first... don't be slovenian cheap-ass, buy some joypad. Any is good, as long you use it with x360ce.

Oh I did go there and died 3 times then figured out I'm not supposed to be there. Won't get any joypad because I only tested the game for a bit how it feels, I'm not gonna play through it, I want DS2 to be the first DS game with proper PC controls. I loved what I've seen, combat is great and I love the feel of weight you have when fighting.

Suit yourself. I don't believe that someone is a true gamer if he doesn't have more than one controller, be it wheel, joystick, gamepad etc.

I used to have a joystick but I fucking broke it trying to save a falling airplane from imminent crash by pulling back as hard as I could in Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows 95 (or even earlier, I can't recall, almost 20 years ago)

EDIT: I do feel that Dark Souls difficulty can definitely be "broken" by reading tutorials/guides or watching gameplay videos, I'll have to refrain myself from doing that if I want max hardcore.

Nexus will eventually give us a perm. gravelord enemy difficulty, also a reason why special boss runs have only been possible on the PC.

Your posts, Vibe, are more deeply stirring to my blood than any imagining could possibly ever be.

the biggest bummer for me is the idea of the non-respawning enemies. sure, its to prevent grinding, but it also makes the game not feel like dark souls without enemies always intruding. you can just lose potential souls forever. i don't like to level up too high (best pvp lvls were around SL100)... i almost feel like ill have to be forced to spend my souls or probably get completely raped in NG+ and above... hmm..

not to mention you're almost penalized for exploring by having the chance to permanently lose souls...

is SL important over 125?
