no-gamepad games

i.e. dark souls

Who in their right mind plays souls games or any action RPG with mouse / keyboard?? You cannot even play demon souls with a mouse. A mouse is for aiming in shooters and the like.

You misread my comment. I'm saying Dark Souls is an example of a gamepad game. I updated the comment for clarity. I see how it wasn't clear, my bad.

Can you not? I've played various third person combat games (are they all part of "hack n slash"?) with a mouse just fine. I do prefer controller, but there's nothing wrong with using a kb/mouse in most of those games. Is Dark Souls control scheme really that bad?
