The buggy is fine, mouse bound driving controls are stupid

[Hominin]

why invent 2 new and stupid vehicle controls when there are standards for it? w/s for forward and back, a/d for steering and mouse for looking. instead we get 2 modes, one where mouse affects steering and another where mouse changes forwards and backwards it is like they are trying their best not to get anything just right

or you could play properly with a controller - as it was meant to be

the game is meant to be played either with a controller or with a keyboard and mouse. that is why is has settings for both. fandom is lame

The very first controller eons ago were for pc. Consoles didn't exist.

I prefer steering bound to the mouse. That's how it is the Borderlands games. That's how it should be in every game.

And what were those controllers?

I think you'll find simple joysticks and mice predate controllers...

Yeah, no... Should really be a matter of choice...

Any car game worth it's salt will generally have KB for car control, mouse to look around, or control any turrets, etc...

Otherwise, let the player choose how they control the vehicle...

The absurd part is that there is a choice in the settings but instead of mouse steering on/off, it is mouse steering or mouse acceleration. if you choose the one with mouse steering off, mouse swaps w and s depending on where you are looking. who does that work for?

You're joking?

I guess we can all thank Microslop for insisting that everything has to be developed with the XBox in mind, as Bethesda clearly have forgotten their oldest supporters are PC gamers...

Seriously wtf with these controls ?????

[Dr.Sid]

Mouse and keyboard controls are really bad. You can switch Flexible and Traditional, but both suck. We need controls to be independent of camera. GTA5 style. W is always forward. S is always back. AD is always turn. Also would be nice to react on walk button to go slowly.

Sigh, so you all are telling me they couldn't even get the buggy right?

[ThatOneDude]

Only complaint I really have about the aim centric controls is that looking backwards reverses the throttle controls. Forward should always be forward. But maybe I'm just less picky after growing up on Halo. lol
