Title: Keyboard+Mouse or Controller/Paddle for FPS?
Post by: Emmanuelf06 on February 11, 2015, 07:26:36 AM: I tried to play Turok with a paddle because i downloaded the n64 version...seriously, how people can play with a paddle XBOX with a FPS ?....
When i have the N64, i was able to handle a paddle but now, it's like impossible..... I prefer a keyboard/mouse + No-autoaim/Mouselook....

And you, for mm8bdm or some others fps, do you prefer keyboard/mouse or a controller? Some games are only on console so it can be a reason, but when it's on PC ?...

I put a Poll because it can be interesting about mm8bdm. :)

Post by: Laggy Blazko on February 11, 2015, 01:11:08 PM: I only use a controller when I'm playing something with split-screen multiplayer and someone else is using the mouse and keyboard (IE: Serious Sam or Doom Legacy).

Post by: -FiniteZero- on February 11, 2015, 04:35:04 PM: I prefer controllers, though both of mine are currently broken.

So I have to use a keyboard and mouse instead.

You just fucking don't.

Post by: -FiniteZero- on February 11, 2015, 04:50:54 PM: Well, for years the only times I played first person shooters was on the Xbox (later, the 360). I'm just more comfortable with that control style by this point.

Sure we fucking do, it all depends on what feels better. By your logic, controllers for PC shouldn't even be a thing.

Post by: Thunderono on February 11, 2015, 08:15:33 PM: Personally, I prefer the keyboard and mouse for FPS games. I suppose I've gotten too used to the pinpoint accuracy available with the mouse, instead of moving a control stick and hoping the reticule crosses an enemy. Generally, if it's a racing game or beat 'em up (SASRT and Castle Crashers are good examples, respectively) I'll use a controller.

Excuse me while I don't fucking care about fucking logic fuck fuck fucking fuck fuck fucking fuck. (Best impression of an 11-year old internet user Y/Y?)

But seriously, I'm always on keyboard/mouse for computer FPS's. I only ever feel like using a controller for something like side-scrollers or fighting games ( e.g. MUGEN, except I don't have a USB Xbox controller or something like that.)

Post by: BiscuitSlash on February 14, 2015, 12:41:55 PM: For an FPS on my computer, I use keyboard and mouse.

And I use arrow keys to move around, because fuck WASD. I've built up a hatred for that movement methos and I'm proud of it

Post by: Mendez on February 14, 2015, 07:28:47 PM: I always thought the general unspoken rule was that you use KB+M for precise vision and a controller for precise movement. Don't tell me you guys only stick to one method for all games, do you?
Title: Re: Keyboard+Mouse or Controller/Paddle for FPS?
Post by: Emmanuelf06 on February 15, 2015, 12:06:44 AM: I use controller for 2D games (like Megaman games) or Car/Sport games...but for FPS, i tried to play with a N64 fps game, it was awful!.....
In the past, i played some fps with a controller....(goldeneye64 and others), but it's boring when you have played a lot with a keyboard/mouse.
Without a "little" autoaim, controller can become a pain or you need to configure it, really well.....

I tried N64 (emul) with a xbox controller, not so good lol.

Post by: Laggy Blazko on February 15, 2015, 12:12:58 AM: Using a mouse for precise movement seems like a good choice, if the game allows it and it doesn't force smooth movement. I do that in Wolfenstein 3D. I also try playing vanilla doom using mostly mouse, even for movement, just for fun.

I'm completely fine using keys for driving, though.
Title: Re: Keyboard+Mouse or Controller/Paddle for FPS?
Post by: Emmanuelf06 on February 15, 2015, 12:18:48 AM: Yeah i used the keyboard a lot, when i used the emulator for megaman games in the past (i didnt have my own bank card before...) So it was helpful, but i havent a controller for it....
Pretty playable with a keyboard but it seems better with a controller yeah. I think.
Title: Re: Keyboard+Mouse or Controller/Paddle for FPS?
Post by: BiscuitSlash on February 15, 2015, 06:41:26 PM: I almost always use controller if given the choice. I only resort to keyboard and mouse if the game really calls for it, such as FPS games (TF2 and MM8BDM for example) or other random examples such as Surgeon Simulator.

Games like Goat Simulator are good either way, so I use a controller there. For Mark of the Ninja I use keyboard and the laptops touch pad thing for some reason.

Debatable. There's a handful of games like that where a controller is preferable.

While it isn't the greatest example, the PC version of DmC5 can be played with a mouse and keyboard.

I haven't tried it myself, but playing a Kamiya-inspired hack and slash without a controller sounds awful.

Post by: Jakeinator on February 17, 2015, 04:01:15 AM: if its an FPS I will most likely use the mouse and keyboard, same with MOBAs and MMOs which really can't be played with controllers. In most other situations I'd try to take the controller option. I don't like the idea of play Sonic adventure or Dust with a keyboard. The only other genre I can think of where I wouldn't care about using a gamepad or not would be a turn based RPG unless its something like Paper Mario. However most of my emulators have my input for my gamepad already put in so I'd usually use that instead, less of a preference and more of a convenience.
