Controls are terrible

[FKA]

The controls for this game are terrible. Having detective mode as LB and the up button as Batmobile was the only right choice. You're constantly using detective mode so it should be easier to reach. You're only calling the batmobile once in a while. Worst thing is is that you can't change them.

Also, the braking being X and change camera being RB is truly a sin. You almost never change the camera.

The objective screen should've never ever been an dpad button - it's a waste of space and should've been included in the select menu. The absolutely awful gadget select screen that completely takes you out of the action is terrible.

The other Arkham games had perfectly fine controls, how the ♥♥♥♥ did they mess up this bad?

The controls are fine. The only thing that took me a bit to get used to was to use the X to break while in the Batmobile because LT is the default for every driving game.. so I kept pressing LT a lot, but in this game makes sense because of the tank mode....

In any case, doesn't take long to get used to the controls. Less complaining, more playing and it will be second nature in a minute.

No, players should be given the opportunity to remap buttons as they see fit. The controls are an unintuitive mess.

You think the gamepad controls are bad? You should see what they ve done to the players that use the keyboard.

Less whining, more playing. After a couple of hours of gameplay none of that matters anymore. You just get used to it.

Once again, no. After a few hours I'm still not used to the horrible controls. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

I don't even want to imagine how horrible the keyboard and mouse controls must be if they're that much worse than the gamepad controls.

What? As soon as you rescue Poison Ivy, you can remap the controls to use LT as the accelerator and RT as break/reverse, and also make tank mode a toggle rather than having to hold something down.

Yeah it's kinda crappy that that option is hidden until you rescue Poison Ivy, but it IS there even though they don't point it out.

You might just be a slow learner then... Like you, I also didn't think the controls were ideal, especially on the batmobile.. but It wasn't any trouble to adapt to them after the tutorial phase of the game.

I'm actually a very quick learner, but being a quick or slow learner has nothing to do with this. The controls are downright awkward in terms of positioning. Honestly, this isn't that hard to get.

This is a dumb discussion at this point. The option to make the controls the way you want already exists, it's just hidden until you rescue Poison Ivy in the main story. Is it dumb that they hide it until then? Yes. Is it dumb that they don't tell you the option is there after that? Yes. But it's there.

This still does not fix all the other terrible design decisions that I mentioned in my OP.

Regardless.. this thread is pointless. This game 3 years old and done. It's not like the devs will come here and patch the game controls to your liking. You either adapt to it, or just move on. It is what it is and complaining about won't fix anything. Just play the game.
