Of course, that could just be psychosomatic. In an odd way, I actually find the parrying system to be far easier. The mouse/keyboard controls are jarring, but after an hour of fiddling I was able to get everything working fairly well.
I've downloaded the resolution fix (which now has a mouse cursor fix as well!) and have been playing the hell out of this game. So you can imagine my elation at the sight of a PC version. No matter how many hours I put into the system, I just couldn't get my mind wrapped around some of the base systems (especially parrying). I absolutely loved Dark Souls for consoles, but truth be told I am terrible with a gamepad, at least in comparison to mouse/keyboard. Okay, so I'm in a bit of a situation and wondering if anybody had any advice.
