Controller vs. Keyboard/Mouse

[Dominian]

Hey, I am about to start playing and was wondering whether the game would better be played with a controller or keyboard.

Heard good things about both way, but which is better and why?

I am proficient with both and have the xbox360 controller

as always aiming is alot easier with kb+m .. combos work better with a controller

I like the controller. 3rd person games feel a little weird with keyboard and mouse, especially if they're action orientated.

KBM is currently greatly hindered by some absolutely horrid mouse acceleration which seems to kick in at completely random, making turning with mouse and otherwise maneuvering a literal russian roulette, as sometimes you do just fine, other times your camera rotates 180 degrees and you just start going in the opposite direction you were supposed to.

I started with a Xbox controller an switched over, I feel KBM is better for this game

Same as RazorChain for me. I usually use my Xbox controller for third-person games, so I've started off with it. It worked fine except for aiming with a bow, so I decided to try keyboard + mouse instead. After a bit of time required to learn keyboard shortcuts I actually ended up enjoying the game more with keyboard/mouse.

I started with an XBox controller, and if you are comfortable playing with one then I definitely recommend a controller, but for some reason I seem to experience lag on my controller input and miss a lot of the counter prompts or those Last Chance quick time events.

Now I usually only play games with Mouse&KB so my aim and reaction time on controllers is horrible, but it flows better. The prompts feel better and work well for the most part.

After I switched to Mouse&KB I had to readjust the keybindings several times over until I found an overlay that suits me. Putting things such as Combat Chain Finisher on the 1,2,3,4, and Grab&Drain on Q&E respectively to have easier access to everything.

What annoys me most about Mouse&Keyboard though is that sometimes it feels way too sensitive, I had the camera jerk around, and have some problems with Sneaking/Finishers as they share a key and sometimes I just crouch in the middle of a fight when I want to execute someone.

TL;DR: Both work, both have their own disadvantages. Definitely pick Controller if you are comfortable with the aiming and controls, keyboard suffers from the usual "too many actions on one key"-Syndrom that it get from the controller bindings.

Played the whole game on controller, felt right the whole time. I would guess that this game was made with controller in mind first. The bow aiming has auto-aim AND time slow, so it's no problem at all to pull off headshots. Other fighting / moving around felt perfect on controller too.

Finished it on Xbox 360 controller. I suffered a little with bow aiming, surely I take more time than I'd need on mouse, but it's fine, the game makes things easy.

I usually avoid playing third-person games in controller, as I suck at aiming with analog stick and get lost easily when looking vertically, but it felt easy right away after trying, specially because I picked it to play right after finishing Ryse: Son of Rome, which has a somewhat similar control scheme.

I played all earlier Batman Arkham games on KB+Mouse, but after Ryse and Mordor, I'll surely play Arkham Knight on Controller right away.
