    I think you are better off with a controller.

    This game doesn't seem to be like shooters, where the best twitch reactor will get the kill first.

    This game focuses on pressing the right button at the right time, and the controller fits that job perfectly. Controller players might do better jobs than PC players.

    It's obviously flipped when we talk about shooters, because PC shooters have a mouse and they can instantly aim at their target, whereas a controller player has to drag the analog to their target, so controllers would be inferior to mouse in shooters.

    But this game isn't like that. This game requires you to press specific buttons in a special way in the right moment, so I honestly think you are better off plugging in an XBone or PS4 controller to your PC, everything will be laid out for you.

    Until we get an official consensus of what the PC controls actually are, I'm gonna have to go with the controller.

    Mouse and keyboard rules for shooters. But I agree. With this game I think a controller would be better. It looks like having two analog sticks are needed and precision aiming isn't so necessary.

    I'm definitely planning on playing with a controller at this point - I wouldn't play Smash Bros or Burnout with a mouse and keyboard, and I wouldn't play Team Fortress or LoL with a controller. I can imagine a workable kb&m scheme here but the controller setup looks better.

    I totally agree with you

    I'm sure it would funktion with the keyboard and mouse,
    but there needs to be a certain unchangeable mouse speed to guide the weapon.
    Otherwise it would be impossible to block or attack in a correct way.

    I might play with a controller but if they do have a good set up for the KB + Mouse then i will use that. What they could do is movement is WASD, When you lock onto a target you use the mouse to change the direction you will be attacking/blocking, and the left mouse and right mouse could be R1 and R2, respectively.

    Could be a solution and not too bad; it's quite intuitive

    Its simple, obviously i do not know all the things you can do and how they are done on a controller, but it would be fairly simple to put it into M&K.

    Seriously, I adore the idea behind For Honor. And I hate to be a party crusher, but, guys, let me give you a heads up as a lifelong PC gamer:

    When it comes to Ubisoft and PC games, the gameplay, the controls and the feeling should be the LAST thing you should worry about.
