My biggest gripe so far with the controls is running isn't pressing L3 like almost ALL games, and that the button on left side changes camera distance, wish it brought up the map.

I can live with the rest.

I mean, this was expected though. Everyone figured the game would start out well, it's whether it can keep it up into the later parts of the game (inch deep, mile wide).

This board was pretty positive on D4 in the first week or so too...

Its not that bad. If you want to use KB/M you can switch up keys, but that will take some trial & error. I'm using controller, it didn't take that long to get used to the basic combat flow (with the skills I have unlocked so far). The worst inputs for me atm are RB+Y and RB+RT, everything else feels OK.

Time to bust out the foot pedals and left hand on controller, right hand on mouse.

I'm watching this game on Twitch and a lot of complaints about controls being terrible. My personal take is the world feels mundane and has no lasting appeal long term.

First visual issue. When running Ray Reconstruction, while having the Echo skill trained will cause extreme screen pixelation during combat when using dual weapons + heavy atk. Turning off RR fixes it.

Going to get some sleep but I am having a blast. I only took over one bandit camp so far and have the second one to clear but got sidetracked with cooking, mining, cutting down some trees and upgrading my starter kit for a bit. There is so much stuff I hope I don’t forget the important things. Daidraco definitely plug in to a large tv and relax on the couch with a wireless controller. So good.

I cut down the tree in the middle of the town square to get the 3 wood for the blacksmith. Thankfully it landing on people didn't flag me as a criminal. Wonder if the tree will respawn.

Lol I tackled one of the bounty targets near a group of guards, knocked em all over and they proceeded to pwn me. Whoops.

Yep. Left early to play a game.

Pretty much just commenting to say that I knocked this guy up in the air and then slammed him with a force punch out of sheer fat finger - and it literally knocked his boots off as visible loot. I dont know why I find that funny, but I cracked up when it happened like a pot head.
