PC Controls
Yep, found some threads about this subject, but they were old and folks had already complained once about resurrection in each of them. So a new thread on an old subject.
I am just starting Season 1.
I liked the Borderlands game a lot, so I thought I'd try TWD. I struggled through the first 3 episodes of TWD season 1, but was about to give up last night in episode 3. The controls on the PC are just so bad. I could barely get through a couple of the shoot/hit zombie scenes. They seemed to take a 1/2 hour and many, many tries each to get through ... plus watching the cut scenes over and over.
I play FPS shooter games and have no problems shooting/hitting stuff with good controls, but I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn in this game. The "reticle" just jumps all over the screen.
Then I have to aim with my right toggle, then remove my finger from that toggle to hit the A button to shoot/hit. Sometimes I would accidentally hit the RT (being an FPS player), and sometimes it would work, but most times not ... kinda odd.
Do the controls and/or cut scene skipping get better in season 2?
I hope so, as I bought both. Sigh.
Going from keyboard/mouse to my console controller worked well the TT Boderlands game (the mouse lag was awful in it, but very enjoyable after switching to controller), but maybe the keyboard/mouse will be better in TWD games. I dunno, something has to be better than the torture that the controls were in this game last night.
UPDATE------
See below ... but here is the deal...
SEASON 2 HAS WAY BETTER CONTROLS!!!!
Comments
Finally fired this up again last night, and used keyboard/mouse vs the gamepad.
It did work much better with the mouse ... sorta the opposite of how the mouse worked in the latest Telltale Borderlands game. I liked how the game controller worked in the Tales from the Borderlands game, once I got the controller working.
These Walking Dead games have great story lines, that have all the shine obscured by poor controls ... and repeating cut scenes ... arrrrrggggghhhhh. I guess that does make it scary, but not for the right reasons. LOL!
I just wanna hear the story. If I wanted FPS game play, I'd play an FPS game. Just let me watch the story, and pick an answer (that won't really matter), and I'd be happy.
Oh, well, 1 more episode of WD Season 1 down (I think I am on episode 4 now ... how many more of these?). I hope Season 2 has some improved controls.
Wrong section. Tales of Boarderlands is -----> Way
This is about TWD TT game.
I just mention Borderlands, because that is what brought me to TT games.
I liked the TT Borderlands game, I liked TWD series, so I thought I'd try the TT TWD game. Then the controls. That is how we got here.
I was just hoping for some info on how the controls are in TWD season 2 TT game. The same as Season 1 or different?
It don't matter, I bought Season 2, so I'll play it. I complain a lot, but I am hard-head and will stick with it.
It (TWD ... and TftB for that matter) is a good ... very good ... story. So, there is that. And that ain't bad.
Just started Season 2 and the controls have been updated and are way better.
The gamepad controls work like gamepad controls should.
So, if anyone is/was like me and is late to the game and thinking Season 1 controls are awful ... stick it out ... the story is worth it .. .then the controls get much better in Season 2.
how do I exit the closet upstairs at the dairy, I'm playing on my pc , and idk what 2 do
I figured it out.... and now I feel dumb.... lol
