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.
Be it PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo, the right-most face button is the only one that is not X on any of them.
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
