Should I play with Xbox360 controller or Keyboard?

[Zefnoly]

I just got this game and might start playing it tomorrow when it has finnished downloading on my slow internett and is unsure if I should play with keyboard or my xbox 360 controller. I played trough all the deadspace games with it but this is firstperson but is this game better with xbox controller like deadspace?

Keyboard!

I prefer Pad, use 360 pad also.

I have played this game with controller, much more comfortable.

Keyboard is better, also because you can type codes with numpad (much faster)
I prefer and recommend keyboard and mouse ;)

I usually play games with mouse and keyboard, but I'm using an XBox 360 controller for this game. I find it gives me more fluid motion, but your mileage msy vary.

Try a bit of the game with each option, and then use whichever control scheme feels best to you.

Cheers,

I used to always play with keyboard but with controller, I find that the controls are much more comfier. Also, it is better as with a controller, you can walk as slow as you want and lean at different speeds. For example, if the alien was around the corner, you could lean slower with the controller to see it without being seen. And, if the alien was behind you facing the other way, you could walk slowly away without it noticing. Basically, the keyboards movements are too instant for my liking :) Hope this helped :)

It's in first person view, so take a guess what's widely considered the optimal choice in that case.

But if you're playing while lying in bed/sitting on a couch on a PC+TV setup, a controller might be better.
While there are certain accessories to make KB+M more comfortable for the lazy gamer, it's still uncomfortable to use when relaxing on a couch.

So yeah, KB+M all the way otherwise.

But, because this game doesn't require all that much precision (plus, there is an auto-aim option, if using a controller), you can still go with whatever you feel the most comfortable with, without affecting gameplay too much.

Dumb question, it's an FPS. keyboard mouse duh.

Sometimes games like these do better with a gamepad, but I used the mouse-keyboard combo and the controls were very tight and felt real good.

Mouse control is a little funky in this game. It's not acceleration or deceleration, it is just...off. I use KB/M regardless, because I never feel comfortable with a controller, and it is not terrible, but it does seem that the camera control is optimized for a stick and not well coded for the mouse.

Play how you want it, it's an inprecice first person game, as in you're not needing to aim guns at limbs exactly so you can do well with a controller.

KB+M is far more immersive for me, because years of quakelikes mean I don't notice I'm using them.

I had a go with the control pad, though, and everything seemed to work just fine - I liked the analogue control of leaning.

Both work excellently, so whichever you're in the mood for.

360 pad !! The vibration makes the game even more scarier !!!

I dislike playing any first person game with a controller. A stick is too small for snappy and precise movement. It feels like work. The analog leaning is nice, though.

I used to like vibration, but I turn it off now. It distracts.

my 360 has vibration and that's why im using it some times when playing skyrim and etc
