I think DS3 is X. At least one of the Dark Souls games is, I have it ingrained in my muscle memory.

    DS3 uses the usual souls controls

    regardless X on an xbox style controller would be "use item" or switch between twohand on a Nintendo style controller. There is no common controllerscheme where it would be dodge.

    I mean, I am too. The joke doesn't make sense as it's written, but it would if there's a different game that uses X to backstep.

    There are TONS of games that use X as a dodge button. Just because the big game dev, fromsoft, use another button for roll, doesn't mean no game does. The joke isn't about what button you press, it's about getting someone to press literally any button that would mess them up in a normally safe situation.

    These people are clearly incapable of separating the joke from reality. Who cares what button is being pressed. The joke is the same even if you put some hieroglyphics in place of it.

    Is this like an autism thing?

    Controller is practically necessary for some games, and souls/souls-like games are a great example of that.

    I think controller is only 'necessary' for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I'd prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.

    Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board
