Will you use mouse+keyboard or controller for playing?

[HEE HEE]

Personally, I think using mouse+keyboard is a bit difficult when it comes to parry enemy attacks, however I still have no idea if it would be better if I use controller since I don't have one. So, I want to know that in your opinion which one is easier to play with.

[If you guys prefer to use controller, would you reccommend me what kind of controller should I use(XBOX, PS4, etc...)?]

When i first tried the beta, i used a gamepad. Seemed like the obvious choice. Still didn't feel good though. During the 3rd closed beta I got into, i forced myself to try mouse and keyboard, and i actually think I like that better.

The games controls are so different, it takes a while to get used to no matter what. Personally, i think it's easier to parry with mouse and keyboard, but harder to block.

The main thing I like more about mouse and keyboard, is i dont get hand cramps after playing for a long time like i did with a gamepad.

I for my part am playing with an X360-Controller. I tested the KBM-Controls once during the Pre-Alpha and didn't like them back then and never touched them since then. But I'm basically only hearing positive things about the KBM-Controls.
I'd say it boils down to what you prefer. Usually i like to play with KBM more, but on this particular game I'm down to playing with a controller.

TL;DR Boils down to prefernce and both need to some to get used to.

I've always used KBM for every and any game i've played. Even dark souls 3, yes... So over the closed beta i have learned that the hardest thing to do would be to memorize the combos and do them in the correct order and to parry. I've pulled off a parry a few times but in the heat of the moment you forget to press only 2 keys instead of all of them.

After using KB+M for 2 hours last beta, i went out and bought a wireless Xbox 1 controller.

Never tried to play with K/M but i know a lot of poeple who do it. Its up to you.

[Leaniv Uisen]

Im gonna give a try to the joypad,seem optimized for that.

M+KB. It makes a lot of the high end abiltiies far easier to use. If people are having trouble with parry you may need to lower your sens(If you're an assassin your block only sits temporarily on side)

Both should work though. Just go off pref.

I'm using controller, I thought that it was a lot easier to parry.

I bet if you play with a controller first then MKB will be difficult..

Truer words have never been spoken

Keys and mouse, i found them great.

[Larentoun]

K+M.
Advantages:
1. You can easily counter guard break without an unability to dodge or feint.
2. You can easily use feints without unability to dodge or CGB.
3. IMO it's easier to parry, block, and dodge. Especially with Assassins.
4. You can chat!

Disadvantages:
1. Hard to control throws.
2. Unability to walk (or i havent found button yet).
3. Bad position of GB button (but you can change it btw).

Nah. It very much depends on the game. Like I prefer Dark Souls with a gamepad, but this game, and keyboard and mouse works just as good, if not better. Better for me since it's more comfortatble with better keybinds. I hate having to press down Analog sticks for anything :-p

I think mostly it's because the games controls like no other game. The closest comparison would have to be War of the Roses. I think this game will just feel off no matter what until you get used to it. Like learning to ride a bike.
