Are controls ♥♥♥♥ on M + KB?

[Levictus]

I read that the epic store release was completely unoptimized for PC with horrendous controls, broken QTEs (with no option to disable them) and other porting issues.

Does the steam version also have these issues?

I've had no issues (besides going forward and sometimes going backwards) but some people have had some problems so you'd have to see if they're good for you or not.

YES x 100

I'm at the power plant portion of the game and I've been trying to get the father character to crawl through some live power cables for the last 90 minutes. The game tells you to push down a mouse button and then a keyboard key and then another key, but then the action will fail for some effed up reason, even though I have all the keys pressed down. I put the game on easy, I lowered my mouse sensitivity to 0, and I still fail at those button prompts. I'm at my wits end, but there is no way in hell I will go out and buy a controller that I will probably never use again. I thought about uploading a video on YouTube to demonstrate how this game is unplayable with keyboard and mouse, but I think I'll just uninstall and play something else.

This is clearly a crappy PC port, plus the game itself is below average, also when it comes to story telling portion of the game. I remember when it came out on PS3 and every journalist including their grandmothers were defecating their diapers over how awesome this game is - IT IS NOT. Sony probably just paid off bunch of game journaIists, like they always do.

I don't remember Indigo Prophesy being this bad, but this is clearly a step down from that. I've heard that Two Souls and Detroit are supposed to be better, but this is a average crapfest though and through.

So basically this super ♥♥♥♥ PC port where they didn't bother to fix the controls. OK, pass.

That sounds like a massive issue.

This may actually be caused by your keyboard. Many cheap models don't support more than 2 (or 3 depending on which specific key u're pressing) keys pressed at once due to how they're build. You can test it yourself by googling "keyboard multiple key test" and using one of the online tools.

i had no issues with keyboard and mouse actually. it worked fine for me.

[PrinceXavieR™]

controller is so good.. those vibrations xD

[agentlouisiana1]

Use a controller, 100%.

Worst part is when the camera switches view and if you don't change W to S the character turns back the way he came, The camera then switches back and the character reverses again etc.
Action scenes are sh]t too since you have to react like a teenager to the prompts on screen. Looking for those prompts makes you miss the action :(
