Better played with a controller?

[reesu]

I tried playing with KB/M but the controls feel awkward. Anyone felt the same?

No.
KBM all the way.

Changes I made : Dodge from LCTRL to Middle Mouse Wheel Click
it's so convinient. LCTRL is now for ranged weapons.

The default keyboard settings are a bit off, but once you reassign the keys KB/M plays very nicely. I don't care whether a controller might be better, because I never use a controller, so I'm just happy that KB/M works well.

The game was made for a Dualsense, touchpad, haptic feedback, and standard controls are perfect for it.

Obviously KBM. Why would i play with controller on PC? That was the main reason i waited for Last of Us PC version. Years ago, playing with controller was almost impossible for me.

Now years later, owning a PS4/PS5 i completely got used to playing with controller as well, but 98% of the time i still enjoy playing with KBM way, way more. Not even a competition. There are very few games where i prefer controller over KBM.

I would say controller is better for fighting games (Tekken, Mortal Kombat) and for small amount of 3rd person games, like for example Marvel's Spider Man, because swinging and fighting feels better with controller in that game. But for everything else it's easily KBM over controller. I have heard that controller is also better for "Souls" games, but i can't speak on that, because i don't play these games.

Just looking around with camera, moving character, everything is just way more faster, more accurate and more responsive with KBM (unless you use aim assist, but that would be nonsense with KBM).

Aiming with a controller vs mouse firing with a bow... hmm

Its PC = freedom of choice, play it using a guitar hero controller nobody cares.

Controller is the only way to fly for pretty much every game ever created imo. Only thing I use a kb/m for are click games like deck builders and crpg's/turned-based stuff.

I get headshots pretty much all the time with a controller. I actually aim better with a controller as it's less 'spazzy/jerky' than a mouse is.

Also, being able to infinitely control how fast/slow you move with a controller makes it leagues, mother effin' leagues, better than a kb/m can ever be that can't control this.

Its a 3rd person character action/adventure game so yeah, I use a controller. Specifically a PS5 controller.

[mickyluv]

Better is subjective. I prefer to play games like this with a controller. It's what the game was designed for.

[hypehype]

M+K is always superior.

but when I'm playing vs AI opponents in a single player game, I want to kick back and relax, not be in the sweat mode position crouched at my desk.

I don't need an MLG M+K to play a single player game.

Yes, it's awkward on M+KB. Don't listen to all these clowns, most of these kinds of games are better played with a controller. The only downside is aiming, but it's such a small part of this game that it won't matter. Anyway, if you have a gyro on your controller, you can set it up gyro mouse in Steam Input in just a few clicks.

However, this particular game feels a lot nicer on the native DualSense. The haptic feedback and additional speaker really add to the atmosphere. Too bad that you have to play wired on PC and disable Steam Input for it (so no gyro mouse aiming), but it's not an FPS, so it's a minor problem.

I've played both and controller flows better by far. My thumb is responsible for like all of the actions other than movement on keyboard so it gets overwhelming. Other than bow aiming controller is better

I would t say it's better or worse just more comfortable for me personally to use a controller in a game like this.
