Is anyone else annoyed with the mount controls?

[Octavius Rex]

The Dodge/roll button being the only way to slow down is annoying, but the part I can't stand is trying to look around and the mount steering with mouse movement, and the horse controls being camera relative and not horse relative.

No, because it crashes so often that I didn't reach the point in game when you have mounts...

I'm still stuck on the acceleration button. Tutorial says to tap the button, but the horse doesn't go anywhere. You'd think an electric engine would be near-instant acceleration. They have some tweaking. I'm more interested in them adding a normal horse. Why don't the villagers have horses, like it's the year 1000 AD or something, before vehicles were invented so they should have horses right?

Horrid. Really horrid. Better to go everywhere on foot. Just pretend that the game does not actually even have mounts, because in a way, it doesn't.

Which way might that be then?

In the way that the mounts as implemented are a dumpster fire full of sewage and tires.
In the way that; if someone gave you a car that you can out run, that slows to a crawl if you don't keep mashing a button twice a second, and the most efficient way to stop is to jump out of it, did they really give you a car?

A mount at full speed is twice as fast as Aloy sprinting, on the track-ways. Off the track-ways I've not measured it, but I imagine it will still be faster. Mashing the 'go faster' button is unnecessary, perhaps once a second to get up to full speed, then less than that to maintain it. To stop, press and hold the 'go slower' button, the mount stops very quickly, well within twice its own length by my estimation, cars don't stop anywhere near that quickly.

I do play using a controller though, so keyboard mount controls may indeed be broken.

Sure. On a flat space with no obstacles, I'm sure it could move faster. In practice, it hiccups constantly. It even prompts Aloy to remark "You're no mountain climber, are you" when the road has a slight incline.

And just once for each and every single pebble or stick on the ground. That brings us back to "mashing".

I'm glad you are enjoying your oranges then, because these apples are rotten.

I tend to ignore them too, i prefer to run 2000 steps, it gives Aloy some cardio to explain away how she can run 2000 steps without running out of stamina. lol

Its worse in Forbidden West, from experience, a pebble on the road stops my charger completely......i went back to running everywhere....if i encounter machines, i kill them, get the resources they drop and resume running.

The mounts are just so overrated.

gah i dont like the mounts at all so I just dont use them

Me too. I am running and sliding everywhere.

[Sкiткj3ll]

Incredibly. I just don't use the damn thing xD

[Dr.Abscondus]

Controls are taken directly from the console controller which is even more frustrating than the mouse.
