The First Ten Levels: Blade & Soul

Blade & Soul is a great-looking, polished MMORPG, with more interesting and tactically flexible combat than most games in the genre.

I still need to try this, but I'm currently burnt out on eastern mmorpgs after hammering Black Desert online :(

Only two things I'm annoyed with:

1. Lacks controller support even thought it's great for that.
2. Queues get ridiculous at times if you're not a premium player.

It completely has controller support. It was originally a PS3 game.

@Bran: it only has support when you install third-party tools. They are not native, therefore no 'support' from the developer on it.

I suggest you try again, I was just using a controller a few minutes ago. The game pad tab is locked until you check the enable controller box.

Are we playing the same game? The graphics are dated, the areas are small, there is instancing everywhere, and combat for the first twenty levels can be boiled down to "hold left mouse button to kill."

Now, that's not to say the game is awful and there is nothing redeeming, but the game is below average as a whole. The story is quite uninteresting, the animations are poor, and the voice acting is bad.

The game absolutely shines when it challenges you to use your full combat abilities and this does make PvP fun.
