OMFG! The controls totally ruin it.

[Sqrly]

I was so excited to try this game.

Then I did and now I'm wondering what kind of mind altering drugs the person who made up the PC controls was on?

You hold (w) forward and she walks in circles. Most of the game seems to be "move the mouse to the immersion breaking white dot". The camera wanders around like a drunk with cellphone.

I'm trying to cross a river and I see icons bouncing like emojis standing in fire, one is Lshfit the other in mouse 1 (I think, why not bounce the word instead of an arbitrary icon the devs decided means something) I've no clue wtf I'm supposed to do.

Why? Why would someone even think this ♥♥♥♥ up? Why do we need forward, back, left, right, jump, crouch replaced with some weird crap you imagined during a drug induced hallucination?

I'm glad they put out a demo, now I won't have to bother with a refund.

What a let down :(

I'm playing with Xbox controller and it was fine until the sparring session with that dude. QTEs were not working properly. I moved the analog as the game told me and then I got only messages saying I did the wrong moviment or that I was too late, but I was doing everything as intended and in the right timing... I had to play the same sequence about 20 times to get through it.

Shame. A QTE game that does not recognize the inputs properly is nothing but unplayable.

[Kurosu]

Why the drama ? I havent tried the demo yet but if you just use a controller , I assume it will be just like the ps controls.

After further investigation it seems all the latest "Quantic Dream" games are like this.

Console ports with only faux keyboard/mouse support.

Also, I didn't realize the game was just one long QTE. :(

I played through the game on PC with an XBox controller and thought it was more than fine.

[Turuk Makto]

I got the same problem. Some icons cant even be seen properly because they jump up and down for the movement we have to do but that prevents the icon to be recognized.

Controllers are for kids or millenials, I grew up with mouse/keyboard. Controllers came like 15 years later and I dont have one because I never got used to and hate them along with all the bad console ports.

Telling someone to use some hardware they dont have is no solution for a bad console port.

You are supposed to be using a controller. This game was developed to be a Playstation exclusive. Keyboard and mouse controls was never considered. Just use a controller.

[Camerooni]

I had a gravis gamepad on my PC back in 1990.. they've always been an option on computers. In fact computers have always been about options and having access to the right tool for the job.

That doesn't excuse half arsed keyboard/mouse controls but the game was designed for a controller and writing controllers off as for kids or a recent invention on the PC is just ignorant.

[Faint]

Wait, so how the hell do you cross the river with an xbox controller. I tried smashing both, holding both, smashing one at a time and she just sits theere until she gets shot..... Super annoying, there needs to be more explination about the different movements available, I think i got like 70% of the fighting and moving down but that river thing is just plain stupid; haven't figured it out yet.

Every console port has faux keyboard/mouse support. Look on the Assassins Creed series, i never played the games with k&m because after i tried in the first game i almost trashed my PC. Than i used a controller and it was fine.

Since then i never play a console port with k&m again

I've got the same problem. At at the CIA training base and attempting to fight. It says hold the mouse button and direct the mouse in the direction of her arms on the slow-motion scenes. I do that and it says I'm too slow. Heck, the game is too slow in realizing I had already done that. Game needs an overhaul.

[QuackBoi]

Yeah i'm using k&m, on the train/wood sequence i cannot land a single hit. It's harder than the cia base. Saying just to use a controller isn't helpful btw.

I'm not attacking you guys personally but it's on the devs to support player experience regardless of input. No need to rise to their defence, they can ignore us well enough on their own.

I'm sure i can find my X1 controller somewhere.

I finished the game with only Mouse and Keyboard... its tricky to use at first, but its easy once I get used to it.. so, no need to change to controller

[Torqada]

Game is much too strict on game play. Even with a controller the CIA training is no fun. She tries to block left, you move the control to the left and then the screen changes to behind the contender on you and it says "Wrong Direction". The game should just initially instruct you on how to move and then get out of the way. "Left" means "Left" in most other games I know except this one.

i use trackball would game not lag would all be fine xD

[Hexalotte]

I hate the controls so much, I can`t play with this ♥♥♥♥. I tried everything, mouse keyboard Controller, everthing difficult as hell, not fun at all.
