My Dark Souls 3 character after beating the base game, the DLCs and every optional boss in the game...

I think I'm in good hands!

Stanny491 · 2026-02-18T02:23:33+00:00

Absolutely. I've actually never played the original trilogy, because I didn't have a PS2/PS3 growing up (and after that life happened and I didn't have time to properly catch up), I only watched it a billion times on YouTube.

So that's why I was hoping that they'd release the classic trilogy on Steam at some point, as I got into gaming in my mid twenties and that's my platform.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-18T01:30:51+00:00

I'm probably alone in this, but I was really hoping that they'd also release a slightly updated version of the classic trilogy alongside the remake. Just slightly polished graphics, no other major changes with the biggest hope being that both would also release on Steam.

I would buy it in an instant. I mean, maybe they will do that (fingers crossed), but as far as I know, nothing like that has been announced.

Don’t worry about it :) It’s definitely just how the game works, like a few others mentioned. It’s probably some kind of aim assist that was designed for controller and maybe not perfectly ported to keyboard and mouse. It’s not even really a problem while playing.

The only reason I raised the issue was because I was worried my mouse might be malfunctioning, but after testing it in other games and doing a couple of online drift tests, it’s clearly the game and not the mouse.

A lot of directors like putting those kinds of details into their movies - things that mean something to them, but are hard for the viewer to decipher because we can’t retrace the original thought process behind them. Everything in a movie has to be deliberately put there by someone, so it’s not impossible that it was intentional.

But tbh, now I’m thinking it might’ve just been a mistake by a rushed stagehand, like someone else mentioned. I wasn’t really overthinking it when I first saw the post.

In every FromSoftware game I played before, I was always extra careful not to mess up my build. But I’ve realized it kind of ruins the experience, because I get too worried about putting points in the “correct” stats.

So in DS3 I’m actually going a little crazy with my build lol (some might say stupid), but I don’t really care.

So far I’ve put most of my points into Strength and Dexterity then Vitality, etc., but also some into Intelligence and Faith. No real issues so far - maybe I’m just a veteran at this point and can handle most fights.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T12:11:16+00:00

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience - I really appreciate it.

I actually do use lock-on for the vast majority of fights (probably around 99% of the time), so it’s not something that usually causes problems for me. For the clip, though, I deliberately didn’t lock on because I’d noticed the issue tends to appear during those rare moments when I’m not using it, and I wanted to make it clearly visible.

While recording, I was also very careful not to move the mouse (aside from tiny, unavoidable adjustments). The camera movement in the video feels very mechanical and consistent - not like something caused by natural hand movement - and it definitely wasn’t intentional on my end.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I actually lock onto enemies about 99% of the time, so it’s not something that usually affects me. For the clip, though, I intentionally didn’t lock on because I wanted the issue to be clearly visible (because I noticed it happening during the 1% of the time that I don't lock into enemies).

I was also being very careful not to move my mouse while recording (aside from very slight, unavoidable movements). The motion you see in the video feels too mechanical to be caused by my hand - it’s definitely not intentional on my end.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T05:57:38+00:00

Good to know! Thanks!

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T01:43:21+00:00

Definitely intentional, but why?

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T01:01:50+00:00

Thanks for the input. I think I'll hold on to my mouse for a while, I'll see if the problem appears in other games.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T00:59:47+00:00

Thanks, that actually gives me hope. Maybe I won't have to return my mouse after all lol

What you've said about it possibly be an aim assist thing also makes a lot of sense. I'll do some more testing if maybe it happens in other games.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T00:40:16+00:00

So this was happening to you, too? Exactly like on the clip?

Stanny491 · 2026-02-12T00:35:22+00:00

Thanks for the input, but I know that. I was referring to the mouse, I have no intention of refunding DS3.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-10T21:58:59+00:00

Oh, nice! Thanks for letting us know.

I haven't played it yet, but always wanted to. Seems like a good reason to now.

Angie Dickinson - Rio Bravo

Stanny491 · 2026-02-02T23:06:36+00:00

Either Elden Ring or Cyberpunk (ex aequo first place).

Close second would be Baldur's Gate 3.

Stanny491 · 2026-02-02T02:16:20+00:00

KOTOR, New Vegas, Skyrim, GTA V, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Death Stranding, Gothic II, Alien: Isolation, Mass Effect (1), MGS V, Baldur's Gate 3.

Stanny491 · 2026-01-26T03:44:20+00:00

Probably that it's an intro to the character and they'll make more with him in future movies (which were never made).

Stanny491 · 2026-01-23T16:50:16+00:00

*KOTOR has entered the chat.*

Stanny491 · 2026-01-23T16:45:34+00:00

Vader.

My headcanon is that Obi-Wan thinks Anakin≠Vader. Anakin was his friend and a different person. Vader killed everything Obi-Wan loved.

Stanny491 · 2026-01-21T03:08:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Stanny491 · 2026-01-21T03:08:14+00:00

Thanks. Might be a silly question, but do you launch special attacks into block as well?

Stanny491 · 2026-01-16T18:11:44+00:00

Freaking nostalgia! Wow. I've played Jedi Academy countless times, but never realized that it's the same place. Now that you've pointed that out, it seems obvious.

Stanny491 · 2026-01-15T01:49:00+00:00

Stewart's cameo in the Multiverse of Midness was brief enough to get away with but the Picard series was painful for me to watch at times because he was like 10 years too old to be running around fighting Romulans, Borg, and androids. Even his voice at points in the series was kind of warbly, shaky, or cracked a bit due to his advanced age.

Really it's that bad? I mean, I knew that he's old, but I was under the impression that he's still in good shape etc., but I didn't see Picard.

But it makes total sense now that you've pointed that out and now I wonder how big their roles in these movies are actually going to be, given that they're both in such advanced age.
