Response times will be quicker but that isn't going to speed up the slow animations/movement of the game. The perks of the joysticks on the controllers is that it helps with that fine smooth control when moving and riding a horse, imo anyway. Much like GTA 5 when driving, flying and running about, a controller just felt right, just have to go back and look at the gta 5 thread to see all the crying over the controls in that game when using K+M
People seem to think this game will be like quake with a K+M lol.
Of course if it is anything like GTA 5 with regards to switching from 3rd person to first person view then the movement, aiming and animation feel/control will be a lot quicker/more snappy.
Reminds me a bit of assassins creed origins and odyssey when it came to animation and movement, people went on about odyssey feeling better for movement, combat etc. because it was incredibly snappy/quick, that largely ruined it for me as it was too arcadey then. Origins was more "clunky" as the animations were slower and everything felt like it had weight, this was much better for that style of game imo.
