Rocket Arm Controls Suck

[Hank Moody]

Why isn't it set to your mouse?! This is ridiculous, has Kojima never played a PC game?

Its a ♥♥♥♥ PC port is why. Try playing it "old school" with the cursor keys. :D

Personally gave up and used an Xbox controller. Was okay.

That's funny.

I started with the Xbox controller but gave up of it because aiming was so difficult.

So much easier to hit head shots with the mouse

Damn right. But I agree rocket arm controls are...not terrible but I'd prefer using the mouse. Clicks to go faster and slow down. But hey it's manageable.

I will admit in most FPSs the mouse is way more precise. Unfortunately i got this on the PS4. I have found when using a controller, sometimes moving snake helps to zero in on that head more than just moving the sight. Give it a try.

I never even got that far, you cant rebind any of the controls around the cursor keys and I cant get used to WASD/RDFG.

Is the mouse input any good? I remember seeing that it was terrible.

Also once you upgrade the guns the autoaim is kind of offensively strong. It becomes semi impossible to miss even with thumbsticks.

Works great. I had no problem aiming or moving the camera.

Only thing that I hate is the wheel scrolling on the binoculars. 300 scrolls to zoom 1 inch. Very annoying. Had to start using the toggle zoom because of that. Ground Zeroes worked much better on that point.

First time playing with rocket arms and... agree. the controls suck. Would be nice speed control by Q E keys and camera movement with mouse.

SO true, and I'm glad someone finally said it. I still equip it just for last resort, since other arm functions layer over it, but at best, I only expect to stun two lone guys one at a time via straight shots. If I try to chain them, after the first one I'm struggling to find another and get disoriented.

Mouse would be MUCH better indeed. I'd love to see someone make a mod for it, but I get the feeling it's coded so it only works halfway well via analog sticks. For instance in GTA V, I thought steering the heli via mouse would be better once I found out you could, but it wasn't really. Too twitchy.

I've never had an issue with the xbox controller. Sure, it's not as accurate as a mouse, but it was never such an issue that it killed me or even screwed my shots up. I've missed more shots to plain old recoil/breathing than I have to the controller. Fiddle with different sensitivities. It was made for consoles so aiming with sticks is pretty natural for it.

It depends a LOT whethwer you're comparing stealth shots you have time to line up, or open combat shots, where you have to react quickly. At the latter a mouse destroys a gamepad.
