I personally prefer the keyboard&mouse for everything. The main advantage being that your hands won’t emit a liter of sweat when playing

The only downside is that you need a desk for them

Por que no los dos?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

With a PC you can choose both.

If you're not using a ddr mat are you even a gamer

[-] MML@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

It works well for Bomberman Generation

I always thought Halo CE for PC did it right, but I once offended a lot of BF2 players with that idea. BF2 had terrible driving though.

Gyro aim really helps with shooting on controllers :3 I can't play games without setting that up these days

[-] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 20 points 3 days ago

I have tried so many times, I just can't get used to it.

I love the Valve hardware stuff with touch sensitive sticks and trackpads. Deactivating gyro when lifting your thumb just feels so natural! Other manufacturers should at least implement this for the sticks

Yes, I very much agree, I was shocked how good gyro flicking with a sniper felt on Splatoon

Wasn’t there a dude who played Call Of Duty with a flute? I cont find the video and it used to crack me up.

I feel like the odd one loving keyboard and mouse for every type of game. (And I mostly play third person... shooter?I don't know what is dark souls? And also platformers/Metroidvania)

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Same but I like controllers for most games, event shooters. Just play what you like in a way that makes you happy. :)

[-] northendtrooper@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 days ago

This is why you choose Bongos as a controller.

Which is best for submarines?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 34 points 3 days ago

Logitech F310.

Oceangate fucked up and used the 710. Very possible the wireless signal got messed up and it sent the signal to implode instead of surface. The 310 is wired and wouldn't have that problem.

[-] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 days ago

The implosion happened because someone entered the Konami code that made the sub about 50 times more heavy

Keyboard doesn't suck that much for driving but it's way worse for precision movement for platformers and top-down action games. And obviously "twin stick shooters".

Solution is those MMO joystick controllers that have a bunch of buttons and a joystick for your thumb. I've always wanted one but I know from my Steam controller experience that setting it up for each game individually is a total pain.

[-] zewm@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

The problem with keyboard driving in most setups is that the turning is either on or off. So you can’t make smooth movement. You have to do that tapping shit to keep the car straight. Also the accelerator is either 0 or 100.

On control with analog and trigger have different levels of sensitivity allowing for granular controls.

I know that now a days there are some keyboard switches that have this, but it’s far from the standard.

Perfectly explains my Cyberpunk2077 dilemma. I want to FPS with keyboard and drive with controller.

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 days ago

You can just do that? Even if you were speedrunning you could probably switch from KB to pad or viceversa in the time the animation completes

[-] AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah this is how I play GTA

Every game that plays better on a controller is just some form of a racing game. RPGs are low speed racing games with lots of wacky options like speed racer. Sports games are team racing with some hitting and throwing mixed in. Side scrollers are racing games with jumps and power ups.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Wdym those p’ay better on a controller?

True, though you can get used to either. And if you aren't playing competitively, your comfort is the only thing that really matters
