Mouse control SUCKS!!

[djadmoros]

CIA boot camp: Only minute deviations from direction of mouse movement lead to failure. Not predictable. Really sucks the fun out of playing!

So I have found that the issue is slight angles, if you move your mouse left with a slight up or down motion it might count it wrong.

You just have to get real good at moving it in a straight line up down left right. It also doesn't have to be a hard motion, a soft motion works better also hold right click during the motion.

That being said Im buying a wireless controller for my PC after this madness.

The whole control scheme sucks. PS4 motion controls don't translate well to PC

After playing this on a controller, I can see what's going on a bit clearer. The thumbstick on a controller automatically returns to center when you flick it, so something like flicking the mouse to the right to open a door is totally different on a controller. Your mouse remains in the same spot but the controller returns to center. It totally changes the way you think of the movement in combat, etc because you're always at center whereas on a mouse you're moving all over the place. It just makes no sense. Controller is immediately intuitive and actually feels *good* surprisingly. It feels like someone designed this and knew what they were doing--as long as you're on a controller. They just failed to design for KB / mouse entirely while designing this.

Also lol@us trying to figure out the controls in this thread for legit 2 years next month

I am playing with the Logitech gamepad, the one that's like a PS controller, and the game feels great with this. I also have an off brand Xbox gamepad but not as good IMHO because of the way Aiden requires you to use both sticks--it's just nice having them side by side--more intuitive.

Ha--I just looked. It was a Playstation exlusive. That explains it. This game was designed for a PS gamepad and nobody ever thought about anything else. If you want to play this game, only way is on a playstation-style gamepad IMHO. I more or less just randomly chose this gamepad and it really works well.

this game is supposed to be played with controller. controls are OK, you just have to understand that they are arcade controls. where you expect to press a button to perform a task instead they ask you to pull the sticks in the direction of supposed task. or if they want to you to climb or cross the river you use LB - RB to make steps, when you possess someone you hold sticks to direct inside their body (L faces right, R faces L) while pressing LB, when you harm someone you direct it outside (L faces left, R faces right).
the tooltips are working for controller and it's obvious what to do. also it's more forgiving when you try to get directional move.
my most issue is my bad timings for some QTEs and pressing the wrong button (I'm bad at reading button label and pressing it).

this game was quite easy to control, just watch what direction your character moves and do the same mouse movement, I don't understand what people keep complaining about, I finished the whole game with the keyboard and mouse without any problems

Uhmm watch this vid:

So like the movement where she's blocking the punch at 15 seconds-- she moves her hand next to your ear. Do you move right / back to dodge/ absorb the incoming attack (the natural way you might move in a fight--like a boxer trying to dodge a punch by leaning or stepping back)? Up to move her hand up to her ear? It doesn't help that the camera is also moving and it makes it appear she's moving a bit to the left as well. And then at 20 seconds when she kicks the inside of his knee: she's moving her foot forward, up, and to the left. So yeah.... Which way do you move your mouse? Up and to the left? Diagonally upward to the right to represent the forward movement of her foot from her body? This is not intuitive at all. And then at 31 sec when she's parrying the punch, her body is moving to the left, her hands are moving upward and to the right.. So which way do I move? Left, upward, and right? And then 35 seconds when she blocks the right and pushes his hand down it's several motions, up and foward and down and then an attack where she's back fisting the guy which is a movement that's to the left and then to the right. Get what I'm saying? I think it's very hard to interpret where you're supposed to move your mouse--it's never explained very well.

That’s NOT the problem though. I know where my mouse is supposed to go, I follow the instructions, and it still fails like 50% of the time.

In case you’re wondering: I tested it on easy mode which does show you which direction to go.

I keep getting stuck on the monkey bars start of they CIA bit. Using pc. No matter what I try the controls don't work and I can't get off! Did anyone work this out? I wanna get past this and playyy

Just got the game Sept 2023 and mouse and keyboard are truly HORRID. i dont use a controller, to say i should is so weak. advertise this as a controller only game . SO frustrating. it does not register when i move the mouse when it says it should. Adjust all your mouse settings someone said. NO - imagine if you had to adjust all your mouse settings for every game you had . do not get this game if you like mouse and keyboard play - im old and i have never had this trouble with a game before and I started with a commodore 64 a REALLY long time ago, looks great and i wanted to see the story unfold but it was just IMPOSSIBLE to control.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

If you aren't willing to use a game controller, I would seriously refund this game if you still can. Then just go on YT and you can watch the entire game as a movie. It is a well made game and story, but sadly they did very poor with the KB+M control system on the PC version.

''she's back fisting the guy''

Sir, I don't think you comprehend the vocabulary that you are using.

You clearly mean 'punching', not ''fisting''. That's something entirely different.

[Still]

lol a spinning back fist is a pretty popular move. that's basically what i was describing but without the spin. but yeah bruh lol. anyways this game is great with a logitech gamepad, that $20 one everyone has. i wouldn't even attempt to play on a keyboard unless you are just determined to prove its possible.
