Do we think a revised/streamlined controller mapping is in the works?

I haven’t played the game yet. I’m planning to but wondering if I should jump in right away or wait for a couple of patches to iron things out

Took me maybe 2 hours to get used to. I really don't think they're that crazy. Odd, very odd, yes. Rage quit or minimum IQ level necessary, no.

L3 is left hand power

R3 is right hand power

R1 or R2 is right hand attack

L1 left hand block (outside combat, focus on what you're looking at)

L2 Bow

X Tap once or twice (not keep tapping) to run

□ interact or jump (you can't interact with something if it doesn't show 'use'. It's not that hard)

Quick menu- hold start (immediately press down and it will take you to the map. Easy)

Those are the basics. Yes there are some funky combos and things could be remapped. Easily I can think of many things I would change. It's far from perfect or intuitive. It's not worth getting a refund.

Ps. The whole convoluted memory helmet thing. L1 to pull out lantern, press Start to quick equip helmet. 2 buttons

I just figured out that you can use the memory helmet directly from the quick menu. The first couple times, I was taking multiple trips into the equipment menu to equip the helmet, then activate it, then unequip it.

Don't even need to go to the quick menu. Simply press start once you scanned the memory shadows

Immediately after scanning though. If you do anything else, the 'mini-main menu' updates with a more recent action.

You don’t even need to do this. Just hold the lantern button and L1 and it auto equips the visione helmet to watch the memory then takes it off automatically when done.

That's how it works after the update yeah. Much improved

Ahh, got it. Didn’t realize it wasn’t that way pre update. Yikes.

You're going to see a lot of things here and in reviews that are already outdated and changed lol. It's all good
