What's the best way to control a video game?

[BMO_]

Title.
I prefer shitty control options just to make my experience more challenging. Playing a FPS on a gamepad with no aim assist is pretty fun.

I remember playing Modern Warfare on the Wii and thinking the control scheme was pretty fun and intuitive. I wish companies would explore that type of control scheme more for FPS's.

Keyboard and an old joystick each controlled with one foot

M&K for aiming while using a controller to move your character.

you use the going-into-games machine

Do you also eat soup with a knife because it's more challenging?

No, I do it with a fork.

 

[Fag Albert]

i play as many games with those big arcade machine style controllers as humanly possible

No, I do it with a fork.

Knew it, fucking casual phony. Get out. Speak to me when you can do it with chopsticks.

Depends on the game. If it's a fps I play those on my PC mostly and I used a keyboard and mouse. The best way to play any games involving shooting is the keyboard and mouse. Even if a game is third person and involves shooting. Using the KB+M makes you an accurate killing machine. If the third person game has no shooting, I will use a controller. Especially if the game just plays better with a controller. My preferred controller of choice for PC gaming is an Xbox controller. I have an old wired USB 360 controller and an Xbox One controller. I usually use the Xbox One controller. Xinput makes it simple to use and it works with 98% of the games on PC unless it's a really old game. All I have to do is plug it in and play.

I use a controller for driving and flying games. Like Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Ace Combat 7 and Project Wingman. I just can't use the keyboard to fly and drive in those types of games. But I can use the keyboard to drive around in GTA IV and V just fine. It's really weird.

Conversely I miss the dual screen system from 3ds/nds for portables.
Especially for monhun or etrian odyssey, for logistical reasons like loadouts and minimaps.

Muh dick.

 

[Boss Hawg]

Call me a normie but,
- Keyboard and mouse for FPS, RTS, etc. (PC only or focused games)
- Controller (XBox/PS/etc.) for 3rd person fighting/melee (Souls, Yakuza, Monster Hunter) and sports/racing games (Madden, Wresting games, Forza)

This,Since i am a retard who sucks at kb&m

Controller, I don't like mashing a keyboard.
Mouse for turn-based and pausable strategies.
KB+M for the rare FPV game (looking with a controller makes me actually sick to death IRL, a sudoku-grade headache and throwing up for days; I'm not exaggerating, never again).
(RTSes are for gooks. RPGs are for trannies.)
But some games' control schemes episodically suck ass with a controller, I'd love to watch designer playing the game with his actual physical hands and getting zapped to the extreme on each death.

I'm replaying The Messenger now for like the tenth time (awesome game, near-perfect writing). A to jump, X to attack, B to dart, hold A to float. Works great unless you need to do something WHILE floating. The damn frogs, despite openly catering to speedrunners, map actions to buttons instead of vice versa. I used to hook my index finger to reach the buttons and remap them around for the Fire Skylands seal in the game. I just rebought it on Steam (I get paid enough to not rape linux with tranny-authored pre-alpha controller remappers) and remapped RT to A and run on liquid to LT, whoa dude now this is podracing.

Keyboard & mouse for everything but Japanese games. Japanese games feel best with a controller.

 

[DumbDude43]

fighting games like street fighter are better on controller
everything else is better on keyboard and mouse
