I mean yeah I guess it's a good metaphor, if you cook for yourself and want a grand meal you need the whole set, if you only ever eat macaroni and chicky nuggies you don't need all that now do ya? The PC is for people who play a lot of everything, but the console is quick and easy to grab if you know you're only gonna be playing a couple of games on the family television now and then

That's what a gamepad is.
It's a freakish compromise of a flight Joystick and arcade controls. It works but it's still basically the worst for any given game.

platformer: arcade stick
flight: real joystick
driving: wheel
UI driven games: mouse/kb
FPS: mouse/kb

There is no game where a gamepad is the *best* choice. It's just the most convenient for most things in one device. It's a spork.

Mouse and keyboard should be a spork and the controller a fork
>why
Because you can technically eat everything with a spork, but I'd rather use a regular fork instead (some games are just better with controllers, but still playable) and for the controller there are some genres that just doesn't work with it, using one to play let's say a RTS would be like using a fork to eat soup.

>>746918220
That's the dumbest fucking metaphor.

A controller is a device SPECIFICALLY made to play games on it.
A keyboard and mouse are general purpose devices repurposed to play games on them.

The "controller has no accuracy compared to mouse" argument also holds no water in:
1.) games that do not rely on aiming
2.) controllers with gyro

That's like saying a brick is a better hammer than a hammer, because you can also use a brick to build a house while you can only use a hammer as a hammer.

You are over simplifying it. The extra challenge and inefficiency needs to be meaningful. For example, animations that lock you into a vulnerable position that will punish you for bad timing like only Monster Hunter potion flex are good since it is something you control and work into how you play. However, something like input delay is just bad or awkward targeting are bad since they aren't meaningful and just get in the way. Going back to controllers, gyro where you lose accuracy from shaky hands is the option you are looking for that is less efficient and accurate but still better than mouse. It is a meaningful challenge to overcome and separate players of different skills compared to a mouse that is much more stable and consistent since you are sliding it across a surface. Analog aiming is bad because it is in conflict with how you would naturally want to adjust your view and aim. It feels robotic and disconnected compared to gyro or mouse.
>>
>>746918220
Perfect analogy. PC gaming is something faggots have to do at a table like a cuck while console gaming is functional and you can do it anywhere.
>>
>>746926141
I did. In my opinion CS would work okay on mediocre ranks if you trained gyro controls for tens of hours, but Dota seems absolutely awful on it. Even Valve probably realized, because I remember they had some official support for the original steam controller in main menu but they gutted it before releasing the second one, lol

>>746930451
Nobody uses spirogyra or whatever the fuck toddler controllers have, and a mouse is analog aiming.

>The PC is for people who play a lot of everything
Honestly most PC gamers are playing the same gun/ball/gacha slop as the console and mobile crowd. We just have better access to mods. The one big exception is MMOs, which are still mostly a PC thing with some exceptions like FF14.
>>
>>746930662
>while console gaming is functional
wtf does that mean?
>>
>>746918220
Kinda true. Occasionally a spork is the appropriate utensil though.
How does something more advanced like a steam controller with its additional buttons and trackpads fits into this metaphor?
>>
>>746921848
I would say controllers are only adequate for 3rd person games like 3D platformers and action-shooters. Maybe driving games if you don't have a wheel.
KB/M mogs for literally everything else.

>aircraft games
Have you ever tried playing a flight sim with just a controller? It's literally impossible because you cannot map all the control surfaces on the limited amount of buttons on a controller. You will have to use kb/m to press and adjust shit in the cockpit.
Unless you're playing something extremely arcadey like Ace Combat, controllers are absolutely shit for any serious sim games.
>>
>>746926048
>A controller is a device SPECIFICALLY made to play games on it.
>A keyboard and mouse are general purpose devices repurposed to play games on them.

It's fascinating how a device made for games fails at it so spectacularly while devices made for pointing and typing work so much better. Most games worth playing are completely incompatible with controllers because of their limited number of buttons that only allow you to play very simplistic games.

Steam controller or PS4 and 5 trackpads give you up to 16 extra inputs that are as easy to hit as the number keys on a keyboard. It isn't controllers that are the problem, but specifically Xbox design that is holding everything else back.

>>746921848
Every platformer style game I've played for the last like 10 years has a control layout that depends on at least shoulder button + face button combinations that are wildly uncomfortable on an arcade controller if not outright needing the additional inputs of the analog sticks. Wheels suck ass without direct steer and/or FFB and are completely unsuited to any non-car racing game.

Play video games retard.
