Talk about nonsensical controls

[Reev Jax]

Game seems cool, I got the demo but man the controls are ridiculous.

The controls are pretty standard for a hack'n'slash/JRPG game.

Plus, it's not like you can't remap them to your own liking.

I disagree. "Pretty standard" might apply to the attack button, but for parry, dodge, and run I quickly found myself fumbling through buttons on an Xbox 360 controller. Having just come from Salt & Sanctuary, Little Witch Nobeta, YS VIII, and Nier Automata is like having the controls mapped against the grain in almost every way and it makes Code Vein's default setup quite unintuitive. Some, but not all of the controls can be remapped as confirmed in another thread so some players could be stuck with it too.

Why?

[Andrew. (the weeblord)]

Code vein has a very similar control scheme as a majority of other soulsborne games. Ones that I have personally played are ds1/2/3, sekiro, jedi:fo, and nioh. It's par for the course and I never felt like I was fighting the controls

[RyouDeeLuLu]

yeah, the control setup seems super wack right off the start.
I mean, I'll see what I can change. But wow not exactly easy on keyboard and mouse setup.
Am sure if using a controller is probably mapped out properly. But my gawd the keyboard and mouse defaults are super wack.

It seems like a game with controller support that can't be played with only the controller. It's constantly asking me to use the keyboard while I have the controller in my hand. It makes no sense to me.

It'd bad enough that I probably won't be buying the full game.

I got the full game, never ever had the game asking me to play with mouse and keyboard while playing with the controller. Could your controller be faulty, something with the wire or maybe the usb port? Don't know about the demo though, maybe it's a bug in the demo. The full version never asked me if that helps.

The game supports simultaneous input from all connected devices, so if your mouse is on a surface that vibrates then you will get mouse/keyb prompts.

Put your mouse on it's back when playing.

I found the controls to be absolutely useless. If I set my right stick button (which I'll refer to as R3 for simplicity) on my 360 controller to be Lock on, Right Trigger starts doing Lock on too. If I set Right Trigger to Open Gift Menu, R3 becomes Open Gift Menu too. Oh, and I had to explicitly go into the controls and bind, for example, Weak Attack to X before it would do anything, even though it was already saying that X button was Weak Attack - if I reset controls to defaults then the menu says Weak Attack is X button, but it's actually Left Trigger. All of the other controls were screwed up in the exact same way. And every time I opened the field menu, I had to take my hand off the controller and use the mouse, because the controller had absolutely no effect on the field menu.

No wait, there is one effect... right stick controls *the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mouse cursor*. Just... what. That's some epic failure right there.

The demo is supposed to be where the developers put their best parts of the game on display. The job of the demo is to impress me.

They failed. Miserably. If they can't be bothered to make their controller bindings work properly, at a time when they're supposed to be making me so impressed that I want to buy the full game, why should I believe they put any effort into the rest of the game?

Are you using an original controller? And if so, maybe it has something to do with the XBOX controller itself?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm using a PS4 DualShock and I never experienced such a problem.

I'm using a HORI Ex2 Turbo, but every other game sees it as a normal 360 controller. Every. Other. Game. I don't have this problem in Grandia 2, or Bayonetta, or Metal Gear Rising, or Batman Arkham Asylum, or... I could go on, but you get the idea.

There's a little thingy called "x360ce". It's desighed to fix problems like these, so give it a shot.

Sounds like you have the Steam Controller Configurator active and set to 'WASD plus Mouse' or something, instead of 'Gamepad' or 'Off'... Either that, or some demo specific issues...

I haven't configured Steam Input that way, but I suppose it's not impossible it's configured itself that way... I'll re-download the demo and try it again.
