I know console is big in japan but if you're gonna sell on steam, then get your ♥♥♥♥ straight and make a proper PC port. This is unacceptable

As you might already know, controllers are not working. For me, not by unplugging all other input devices, not via third party programs, nothing. My controller is actually just an old PS2 controller with an USB adapter, but it has worked for every steam game I own so far, including Dark Souls I and II and save for one specific game.
