I appreciate your effort, but I've been through all of that already. Forum posts across the internet and the best "solution" I can find is to not plug the controller in until the title screen.... Which doesn't always work.
There have been times where I could play without issue for 4 hours or more. There are also times that I load the game and am immediately punching at the air or getting in and out of a vehicle without pressing any buttons at all.
This isn't an issue with the controller layout. This is specific to this game and how it registers controller input.
You bring up another good point: post-apocalyptic mailman trying to rebuild America isn't exactly captivating, especially at a time when America is taking actions to prove itself unworthy of being rebuilt, even if only in a fantasy setting.
Besides, in 40 years of gaming, Death Stranding is the ONLY game I've ever had to deal with this in. Plenty of games with bad controls and horrendous responsiveness, but this is the only one that is so supremely fucked in this way.
I have over 50% of the achievements in Death Stranding (can't find my play time on the stupid Epic site) and am a breath away from stopping altogether due to the control issues.
Trying to play this fucking game with a controller is an exercise in frustration. For some fucking reason, the game can't handle using a controller without sending phantom inputs after a short time.
If I hadn't gotten the game for free on the Epic store I'd be pissed for giving my money for broken shit.
Hey now!! You're only saying that because we've seen them do it. If there's one thing this administration demands of its citizens, it's that you absolutely must NOT believe your own eyes.
