Hi. I'm planning to get Dark Souls 3 on the winter sale. Just wanted to ask people who already played: it's real to play without gamepad? xD

Should I buy a controller?

Yes. It's better to play on controller
No. Mouse+keyboard forever

You CAN play with a ⌨ & 🖱 but you SHOULD just use a 🎮 instead because you need the analogue movement to do the platforming and fighting otherwise you will become easily exasperated and 😫, and since everything is lock-on you don't need precise aiming from 🖱
Atleast that's what I think 🐱

you can aim the platforming with the mouse, it works great, at least on DS1.

Dark Souls 3 definitely controller :P Dark Souls 2 is possible with a mouse but for 1 and 3 a controller. I have some video differences my friend did if you'd like with the first boss :P

Only played with a controller but guessing the usual rule applies, controller gives more fluid movement while m/kb better camera

Dark Souls is praised as one of the hardest games ever so naturally you have to use a keyboard and mouse (who are also controllers in a way but still), unless you're playing on console, then there is no choice

I cant speak for keyboard and mouse for DS3, but I tried a bit of the keyboard controls for DS1 and it was basically unplayable for me. I have heard that they improved the keyboard controls in the later games, but a controller is still probably better.

i no play ds with gamepad. but y play other games with gamepad. Play on the controller is better than on the keyboard (except for only a few shooters and quests)

I've never tried to play with a controller, I usually play only with keyboard and mouse with 20 programmable buttons ^^
