I would say, the steering of the space ship was a huge negative. Almost made me give up on the game right away. What made me give up 2 hours in was the stupid poison fog which killed you instantly but You could only see it with a static camera from a few meters away. What an unbelievably dumb mechanic.
Whelp... spoilers I guess? The space ship has an autopilot, and you only need to actually steer it in certain sections. As for the "poison fog," once again there are only a small number of areas where it actually becomes important to use the camera to navigate it. Most of the "fog" can be easily circumvented entirely, and the most significant area where you can't is entirely optional.
If those are the two things that you found difficult, I'd recommend giving it a second chance. Also, there is an extensive mod scene for the game, and you can literally remove things which are giving you grief if you really want too.
Honestly, people complain about the ship controls but it's not bad at all. Play around with it for 10 minutes and you'll be zipping around in no time.
I heard a games podcast, where one of the hosts played the game with kbm. He really struggled, especially in DB, because the thrust has no step-ups. By that time it was an annoying flaw with the game and there was only a mod to fix that, which was, by itself, broken.
Played the game on a PS4 a while ago and loved everything about it.
No way worked for me. First I tried kbm. Then I bought an Xbox pad specifically for this game. It got better but was still too annoying.
I am sorry to hear that, because for me, the game was a really special experience.
Yes, the ship controls needed a bit getting used to it, but when you get the hang of it, it's really easy to navigate. And I loved it, that they tried to immitate real sky mechanics and didn't make the ship behave like a boat or racing car.
But as far as I heard, you are not alone with the struggle.
DB is just painful all around until you figure out a method that works for you, which is the intention I'm pretty sure. The way I solved it, I never used anything but full thrust or no thrust anyways.
