so many ppl whining about DS not being playable without controller are full of it

yes it is annoying. but once you figure out ALL the controls and adjust to it, it is pretty decent. i like the K+M controls because i can control my direction of blocking or pricking (stab forward) with a nice blade to pinch through someone's armor or shield.

basicly a great game is not about the controls or visuals but about the game

hence my 9!

only game i enjoyed more was mafia 1 12 years ago

or zelda games maybe.

dont listen to screaming kids that only played 10 hours

the game got better after the 20+ hours

(slow pace dying all the time, upgrading slowly and figuring out the game like real life. without stupid 100% uber controls to headshot bunnys at 15km with a gamepad and presliced enemies without challenge)

only thing that is bad about DS is that once you figure it out. the game gets to easy

hahaha :)
