Support for Mouse and Keyboard in PoE2
This is probably the biggest thing holding me back from really diving in to the game right now, even though I bought the $60 package. Diablo IV, with all its faults, does a decent job making it controller-friendly. PoE is much more clearly leaning into being PC-focused. I have no interest in setting up a gaming rig (again), so most of my gaming is done on PS5. If things don't improve significantly, or they don't enable KBM support on consoles, I'd more likely bite the bullet and open a premium GeForce Now account and eat the $60 I spent on the PS5 version - but only once the game's fully released and the dust settles. Either that or move to LE once its console version drops if it works well.
I understand the PC focus of the genre generally, as that's where it was born. But ARPG's aren't nearly as wonky on consoles as RTS's were (RIP), as long as some work is put into the foundational interface and not just turning a cursor into stepped navigation. |
