Mouse and keyboard

[Staringeyes]

do you play well with a mouse and keyboard or is a controller preferable?

[Railgun]

I would like to know that two. Is the mouse and keyboard working well ?

I found that controler works way better here.

if you change a couple key bindings mouse and keyboard work fine. Q is arkward to keep hold of to sneak, so i switched it to a number key on the side of my mouse, and changed the interact from F to E.

I tried using my controller, but my movement joystick has been messed up and it's a pain to use in this game with it like that way. I have noticed though with keyboard and mouse, there's no way to pan your camera around during the dialogue wheel conversations...which is very annoying since the inital camera set can be quite botched, setting it up from the persons side or another odd angle to have a conversation. So essentially I have to play with a keyboard, mouse AND controller for poor camera angles during conversations....like really?

Also as mentioned on this thread and I saw other ones, having to hold Q to walk is just dumb and can make fingering on the keyboard feel awkward especially if you don't have a multi-button mouse. A toggle option would be the obvious fix...it feels like this game was made for a controller and set up for PC controls in a rush and not tested properly internally,

I can't understand why someone would use a controller while playing on a PC by god sake

I have played the time played on my profile with KB/M, looking around and moving is fine, but the combat part is just terrible, i havbe played alot of games with KB/M like Rise of the Tomb Raider and the previous one and even Remember Me, which all had a similar control scheme and they worked awesome with KB/M, but this game just doesn't work well at all when in combat.

I will be restarting the game while using my XboxOne Controller and i will find out.

I agree, i normally use KB/M, but sometimes PC games that are so obviously ported and they tend to not really bother to optimize the KB/M controls and it makes the controller a more preferrable control choice.

try playing Dark Souls with KB/M

Game was obviously not tested on PC. Even if you disable the mouse acceleration in the config, camera still has this floaty quality, making it a constant annoyance. And trying to do combat without lock on is a major pain.

What is so badly designed? I like playing with a controller and also like KB/M. Some games like Hollow Knight, Batman, Cuphead, Rocket League and so on are much better with a controller

For myself, it's called comfort. Some people don't play on conventional desktops. Sitting back in a comfortable chair, while on your big screen with a keyboard and mouse gets tired after awhile. And from someone who's been playing video games since the NES, it's a bit of nostalgia. For other games (Let's say GTA) driving with a joystick for subtle movements instead of an all or nothing WASD, makes a huge difference. While other games, lets say FPS you'd want to use a KB/M. To each their own.

Now you can understand instead of complaining in the future and adding pointless comments to a thread.

PC/console and input method can be judged and optimized separately.

It is the right tool for the right job, not some hard rule as PC=KB+M.

The strength of the PC is that it offers all choices, not that it has only a keyboard or mouse.

Third person action games are objectively better if you can dodge in an analog manner versus 4/8 directions you would get with the keyboard. If you add mouse to the act of dodging it can be awkward and you loose camera control.

Equally true, some driving games are better with a driving wheel or even a normal pad. Accelerating, breaking and drifting feels better with triggers on a rumbling pad than pressing WASD on a keyboard. And in a hard turn, I can move my body and hands, leaning in. I know it does nothing, but I feel more immersed.

Some 2D platformers are better with pad, some are better with WASD. Depends on level design, needed precision and the fell of movement and jumping.

But to get back to the subject, all third person action games feel significantly better to control with a pad for me, the same way as all shooters feel better with KB+M, even though consoles have no lack of shooters with satisfactory mechanics implemented on a pad.

So I can't understand why one would stick to KB+M on PC and not pick and choose the right tool for the right job. Sticking to one tool is a console trait and one of its weak points.

I play Rocket League with KB/M and i played Batman with the KB/M also, they are well done for those control schemes, i just think any game that gets ported to the PC should have its KB/M controls optimized, otherwise its just a lazy port job for more profit.

If you are a true PC gamer that uses the almighty Mouse and Keyboard, then stay away from this game. Lots of features are not included here like switching targets, panning camera on dialogue, akward key bindings, actions with no key bindings at all, etc.. when using a mouse and keyboard.

Its like they really want you to play with a controller as the game is not complete without it. Either wait for patch for all the mouse and keyboard issues are fixed (if it will ever be).

I just hate devs prioritizing consoles over PC, just dont sell on PC next time if you cant properly port a game.
