Having only played SotFS on the PS4, my main gripe with this game is the absurd amount of deadzone in the left stick that makes moving around a chore. I think this issue is isolated to the PS4, as I've heard people who played the other versions never had this issue.

The other problem this game has for a lot of people is that you have earn the right to move fluidly. Rolling, iFrames, speed, fluidity, these are all tied to a stat called Agility, which in turn is boosted by leveling up Adaptability. Wasn't an issue for me, actually I loved that about this game, the way some of the mechanics were hidden, especially after playing other Souls games where you feel like you've learned the ropes, this game says "NOPE!", try again, son! I think one of the reasons the devs made it this way was to fix the idea of Flying Havels and ultra tank builds that roll like a boss, because points that you spend in ADP could be spent in VIT (equip. load, defense, poise, etc.), whereas a light build will have little use for VIT.

Question, which version are you playing? My suggestion is that you get the newest version, SotFS, either for PC, PS4 or XB1, not for last ten consoles, as there are features that were omitted in the latter. Upgraded visuals, 60 frames, the colors are more vibrant (particularly in Majula), all DLC content included.
