I could never understand how people preferred a keyboard, even for something like an FPS. You need 4 buttons to move (WASD usually) which is fine, but if you're using those a lot of games make it so you have to contort your hand to unbelievable levels to hit things like C (crouch), Shift (run), Space for any number of things, and so on. In the heat of battle it's too easy to mistake V for C or something and hit the wrong button, or your finger slips, or whatever. Not to mention you're not getting smooth analog control from just WASD alone. And then don't even start with having to constantly look down to hit the appropriate number to change weapons, or even us the F series keys sometimes. Going from WASD to 7 is not intuitive at all and I can't do it without looking.

I don't care what the elitists say, give me a controller for an FPS. They're not difficult games anyway that require 1/60 reaction times and pixel perfect precision to win. Using right stick to aim is fine.

>> No.3508232

Mouse for aiming, one-hand thumbstick controller for movement actually works pretty well for FPSes. That's how the arcade FPS games in Japan work anyway.

Instead of getting angry about it, you should watch the video. He says he knows kb+m is better for FPSs, but just that he prefers using gamepad because his _OPINION_ is that keyboard reminds him of work, because he works with the PC a lot.

Pretty much all the FPS/TPS shooters are better with keyboard+mouse and I see no idea why the fuck those games are so popular on consoles. It just feels awkward. Then there's the whole genres like RTS and map painters that are simply unplayable without keyboard+mouse.

When I play some platformer type of game like Abe's Oddysee or Spelunky I prefer the controller even when I'm on PC. You'd think the console market would focus more on games that are better on consoles, but no. It's been nothing but downhill ever since they introduced the analog sticks. At least if you ask me. I don't even want to play console games from PS2 generation onwards because I hate the controls. I feel like a cripple playing those even when I'm good. Of course there's exceptions and I'm being a bit too harsh but still.
