How's the controller support?

[William]

I need to play this in my living room, due to having my bedroom moved about currently, can you play this exclusively with a 360 controller? Or do you need to input with the keyboard here and there?

yes

As all de Assassin´s Creed pc games, Unity has full xbox 360 controller support

AC Unity has guns, any game with at least 1 gun is unplayable with controller :p

ac had guns since ac2 and works fine with controllers, better than k+m, don't bother this "imput elitist"

Did anyone prefer playing DS with k+m because it had bows?

If that stands for Dark Souls, I've never tried it, but from what I've experienced, third person is more comfy with a controller, and mouse is good for fps like CSGO and strat games like Starcraft and CK2.

Official WIRED Xbox 360/PC controller, ftw. I capped "wired" because imho, it's better than cordless. Controller is build sturdy and with quality. I've dropped it countless times and still works like a charm. I've never had any problems with it in all games, especially 3rd person games. FPS games, i really can't say. I prefer keyboard

So does this game has aim assist than? Cause the enemies with guns in this game are all apparentely profesional snipers and i don't think it's possible (not for me ain't controller trained, i am controller challenged but mkay) to aim a headshot before that master sniper picks you up, and with a mouse that ain't an issue at all.

No keyboard/mouse required whatsoever. In fact I'd go so far as saying the vibration really enhances certain parts of the plot and certain actions --- e.g. parrying a heavy weapon is very crunchy and 'satisfying' with my Xbox/PC controller...

Slight exaggeration there! If you're moving, the "snipers" miss appropriately often. If you're standing still and get plugged with a 1790s musket then, yeah, it stings! If you're appropriately stealthy you can take as long as you need to "line up" a headshot.

The only way moving makes them miss is if you happen to move in front of someone else right as they fired. So, in that sense, they really are like snipers, particularly since their aim seems to be in no way affected by distance.

Now, if you are dodging around a lot, then they'll miss you every time. :-) That's by design, I believe.

I play it exclusively with 360 controller. It works like a charm. I never bothered using keyboard/mouse and, given how well controller performs, I don't think I will even bother testing out keyboard/mouse. And, even in the menus, it works perfectly fine with a controller. The only time you need keyboard/mouse is to start the game from windows.

Plus, in-game has controller's button labels. So you don't need to remember which does what.
