Keyboard controls is bad
As always they can't seem to figure out how to make keyboard function without just doing the bare minimum effort of copy pasting controller settings to keyboard.

Seriously, I bet even an intern could've figured it out if they put an effort but no PC second class citizen yet again. Wonders of japanese developers in action.

I mean steam even had a popup i have never seen before when first booted up the game. They STRONGLY recommended playing this game with my controller. Was like ah well guess no K&B. That was a telling sign.

Mouse acceleration makes it unplayable currently, definitely a refund reason. JUST ADD RAW MOUSE INPUT for hell's sake, how hard can it be.

If you play an Archer, even with a controller it's difficult, you have to aim with your left thumbstick and also shoot with X, I mean, I do not have two thumbs...lol
This controller set up reminds me a lot of Monster Hunter and a reason why I never player ranged classes in that game. I am sure melee is alright.

it took a while to get used to but I thought From did it pretty well

This is worse. Way WAY worse. Maybe the worst control schema I've seen on PC. There are buttons you're not allowed to map to (I like "[" and "]" for menus, but that side of the keyboard doesn't exist on Capcom keyboards apparently). You're also FORCED to use the ctrl modifier for some actions even - literally, if you hit "R" to rebind a certain action, it will make the action "ctrl+R", and no, you can't use "R" anywhere else if you do this. Apparently "R" and "ctrl+R" are the same on Capcom keyboards. This has to be the DUMBEST implementation of PC controls for any game I've ever played. Whoever designed this needs to be fired, rehired, then fired again for good measure.

Till they ad Key mapping for most keys (like most games have had for freekin ever) I can not play this. There ARE left-handed ppl in the world you know....

Um, the game literally tells you to grab a controller.

I realize games dont come with instruction manuals anymore. But like, it was the very instruction that came with the game. Like, before it even launched.

Cheers, mate.

Its not just the Keyboard and mouse. The Controller controls are bad too There are no Lock-on Function, Camera tracking does not work you have to manual move the stick to change the angle. Blocking does not follow the Camera where you face, you need to let of the key and press it again to change the blocking position.(Yes i play as fighter class). and a lot of other things.

The Game is too overpriced for its worth. which has a lot of missing functionality that a lot of other games have already implemented on their system. I was especially surprised about the camera functions of this game actually considering they have monster Hunter and elden ring. Where the camera controls don't bother me. it feels like a backward change to be honest.

Agreed. Wanted to play archer with keyboard + mouse instead of controller, but it is actually not possible to rebind keys to what you want - especially as a lefty. Very disappointing.

The mouse look here is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up.

What's worse is this uses the RE engine, and the mouse input in the Resident Evil games is near perfect. How'd they manage to ruin it?

I can't believe how may keys they simply don't allow us to bind. I mouse left-handed, and the Number Pad is where I've bound all my movement, skills, etc. since the days when Lara Croft had a pointy bra. Can't even fall back to IJKL reasonably because all the keys right of there are off-limits!

I'm literally having to program a whole new layer on my keyboard just for this one game. Never had to do this in DD1, so I don't understand where this bizarre limitation came from, nor *WHY*. Absolute 0/10 on *the*most*basic* of accessibility options!

And no, a controller isn't a viable option for everyone regardless of what the loading screen recommends. Gen Xers (i.e. the first generation with the opportunity to grow up playing video games) been gaming long enough to where tendonitis and even arthritis are starting to become a reality.

if change "switch weapon skill" then the binding changes everywhere, but you can’t use ALT =(

Oh God I can finally play as archer.

edit: nvm for some dumb reason they really only allowed you to use half your keyboard. SMH my head screw this man.
