	[quote name="Arbit"][quote name="Rafiki"]<b>Best</b> <u>Dark Souls (PC)</u> <b>Worst</b> <u>Dark Souls (PC)</u> - Three and a half months later and there's still not an official patch for, at minimum, increasing the resolution. A PhD student spent 3 weeks creating his patch, and 2 weeks and 6 days of that time he didn't even have the game. The game is unplayable with a keyboard. I can't shit on the quality of this port enough.[/quote] I never got a gamepad and just trucked along with K&M and it's not too bad with the mouse mod and a few key rebinds, as far as the hacking and slashing goes. The big problem is when you open a menu. pg up - navigate to the right on the upper most menu (i.e. inventory screen, character screen, main menu, and the... other... inventory screen) pg dn - navigate to the left on the upper most menu arrow keys - navigate w/in the open menu insert - toggles the side panel on some screens, flips through item descriptions on others delete - deselects a piece of equipment on the inventory screen. Possibly does other things on other screens. end - backs you out of the menu system completely. Sometimes. Sometimes you will need to hit backspace to back out of whatever you're looking at first. backspace - kind of a back/cancel button at times, does nothing at others. enter - select home - GFWL invades your computer and steals your IRL soul Of course, the game helpfully tells you what buttons to press if you have a gamepad. Note that your keyboard equivalent to a given xbox controller button outside of the menu is different when you're in the menu system e.g. the game tells me to press 'Y' to toggle between one/two handed - alt is the keyboard equivalent here - but open a menu and sudden 'Y' is something else - insert in this case. It's fucked. I've been playing for 30+ hours and I still don't entirely get it. It's a testament to the game's quality that I'm playing the shit out of it anyway.
