Why was this even a debate?

lowest common denominator gets confused at keyboard

Because you can't regulate the speed of your movement on a keyboard since you don't have a second mouse for your second input. So in third person KBM always looks retards since you character has to either run or slow walk at all times

That is an autistic thing to give a shit about. Third person and driving games are fine with kb+m if you dont exclusively breathe through your mouth. What situation do you really need to regulate your speed when you could just add crouching or shift to walk like half life 1?

Regulating the speed of your movement is fine for those games that its important in, for First Person/Shooter games its less an issue because you want to be moving at full speed anyways almost always.

Yeah I do actually enjoy video games and like to be immersed in them. Also modern third person games have full blown animations that you can't even trigger without gamepad because they're inbetween the "slow walking" and "full run" animation cycles. Don't tell me it's a good thing that you literally can't experience the content of the game

Genuinely the first and only controller I've been looking forward to ever since the original Steam Controller. But I'm a bit disappointed due to the integrated battery instead of swappable AAs that just werk.
And also I'm not buying until there's 3rd party, open-source, non-Steam software that lets you map it.

I haven't had a console in years but I remember early ps1 games let you rebind your controls completely, I think some n64 games did too.

But from GC/PS2 to ps4/xbox one, reminding your controls doesnt fucking exist besides maybe a few preset options. Consoles dont give their users options at all because the raped accept their fate, idk about the new consoles though if they finally fucking fixed that.

Same anon from last post, I don't play on consoles at all anymore. I tend to rebind either in DS4Windows, the game, or the emulator. If I need more buttons, I just set up a modifier key for macros. Also I often just emulate mouse on the right stick and DS4 touch pad. If I use native stick look support, I play with quick updating and high rate look accel so I can aim better. No need for aim assist or bullet magnetism. If I need to type, I can just put my controller down and use a keyboard.

Controllers are more comfortable therefore they are better. I don't care if aiming is easier on kbm, i'm fine with sacrificing a bit of performance for comfort. If you take videogames so seriously that you actually give a shit about this then you're a faggot.
>>
>>730688403
Then do them again. Learn another trade. Get better at your instrument or pick up another one. There are infinity plus one useful and worthwhile things you can practice before you resort to gaming as a means of self-validation. I'd sooner take up competitive yo-yoing. If I'm loading up a video game, it's for leisure, entertainment, and enjoyment. It's to play with a digital toy box, where any challenge exists in the service of fun, not the other way around. The term "movie game" is a pejorative that rings hollow because games are not above movies and your skill at playing them deserves about as much reverence as your skill at masturbating.
