The “good” news is that Piranha Bytes isn’t involved in that one.

They’ve been like this for decades.

Ah. Ok, that makes sense!

Does the Android version already have gamepad support, or would it be touchscreen only?

I can’t imagine wanting to play a mobile game on Steam Deck… but having access to other native apps sure sounds like a win. Didn’t consider that.

Right. Okay.

But why?

That’s a defining characteristic of console gaming, though. Even things like performance vs quality modes didn’t exist until this generation. It’s one of the reasons most PC gamers aren’t also console gamers.

I need to go back and play that. I put it on hold shortly after release in the hopes they’d polish it up. I’ve heard they did, but I haven’t gone back.

I was about to say “hey, I like their UI”… but then I remembered by I generally don’t play casters. It’s because you are right.

Those are big ones. Also, no way to disable chromatic aberration (a known migraine trigger), no DLSS/FSR, and broken anticheat that blocks online play if you dare to fix those problems yourself.

As long as major games like Elden Ring are shipping without basic PC features/settings, I would say the industry is definitely not treating it as mainstream.

It’s Asus.

It runs Windows.

It means nothing for gaming.

Flawless Ultrawide can also be used to fix most of those things, but in either case, EAC will block you from online play… which is, like, half the fun of a FS game.

The gameplay is perfect. But how about just fixing the PC version with some basic things like…

1. A setting to disable chromatic aberration.
2. Fix the broken ultrawide support.
3. Add remappable keybinds.
4. Unlock the framerate.
5. Add DLSS and FSR.

You know, basic, fundamental PC features.

Series S strikes again.

With interest?

Ultrawide support? If there were no new content, I would pay just for the ultrawide support.

Except it will be infected with a Ubisoft launcher and Denuvo malware and I do not pay for anything with Denuvo filth in it.

Two things stand out in this article as deadly mistakes for any soulslike…

…spells with cooldowns

…attack with a long animation I couldn’t cancel into a dodge

These are almost always dealbreakers as they take control and agency away from the player. It’s disappointing to see these same basic mistakes being made by yet another FS-emulating studio.

I want that game - exactly as it is - but with new, modern graphics. AC+AX is about as perfect as a game can possibly get. Just needs a fresh coat of paint.
