Is this playable/enjoyable on m/kb? Asking for a friend that is interested in the game but does not like playing games with a controller. I feel like it might not work very well on a m/kb due to all the stance/weapon switching mid-combos...
Everything is remappable and it's perfectly playable with m/kb. If your friend has played any of the souls games or sekiro with m/kb then they'll be fine.
It's not a good way to play the game. It functions in a literal sense but it's not intuitive or fun to play that way.
Not to talk shit about your friend but I have no idea why some people are so against using controllers for games designed around controller on PC. I see people absolutely struggling to force themselves to play certain games on kb/m in the PC community all the time and I'm always left asking why people put themselves through that.
On the other side I also don't get why people think playing a third person action game with m/kb is bad by default. All you are doing is moving around and pointing a camera, which is better on a mouse than a stick. You can also do things like sprint around while looking and not have to use claw grip stuff that you would on a pad. Even back to Arkham Asylum and City on PC the m/kb controls have worked great for third person action games.
