Are you playing with a mouse on a PC? Try it with a controller, it completely changes the game. The PS5 movement system is vastly superior to the PC movement with a mouse.

Wait, really?

I have never played a Baldurs game, but I'm planning to play this one when I eventually get a PS5... And I thought it would suck with conventional controllers.

Running around the world is better with a controller, but actually interacting with things is easier with a mouse. You can click the left stick to use a cursor for precise targeting.

I have it on both PC and PS5 and I greatly prefer it on PS5. My computer loads things faster, and it looks better, but the PS5 version is much more immersive and considerably easier to move around. Inventory management is a lot better on PC though.

Can just use a controller on the computer, right?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

AFAIK you can. I haven't tried since I don't have a controller for my computer.

Your controller should work through steam input (or natively if you use Linux)

I can use a PS5 controller on Linux? Will it affect the PS5 sync when I go to use it there again?

I don't own a ps5, so I'm not 100% sure on the ps5 sync, but there shouldn't be any issue for that as Sony put out a firmware update to make it work well with pc at one point. But for me with my ps5 controller, it works and pairs flawlessly, and the touchpad on the controller works as a mouse on the desktop.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

No problem! Message me if you need any help, if you can't to that on Lemmy just mention me in a post or something idk

The PS5 controller doesn't work there?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Does it? I haven't tried. When I tried to use a PS4 Pro controller in the past it messed it up and I had to reset it to use it with the console again. Can you use PS5 controllers with a Linux PC?
