>download PCSX2 despite lacking a controller>make unique m+kb setups for each game i want to play>try them out>they all feel and play like shit
>>739095181Games weren't meant to be played on a fucking keyboard. Get mad about that all you want, but it's true. Movement using a keyboard is actual dog shit. Mouse aiming is amazing though.
>>739095305TRVTHNVKE, the only genres where m+kb is superior are FPS, RTS and point and clicks. Everything else feels wrong and soulless
>>739095181>games made to be played on a controller>try to play them with a keyboard>they don't feel good to play for some reasonJust get a shitty Logitech controller or something, they're on Amazon for like 20 smackers.
>>739095181unless the game has mouse injection you are basically simulating teh stick movement with the mouse it suck ass
>>739095181get one of these retard killer 9000
>>739095181It kinda works if turn-based
>>739095181you can buy these for like 10 bucks new go ask you mom for one kiddo>>739096989flightsticks are optimal for those you can one arm them it feels great
>>739097192I got a snes stick for cheap but it's laggy, what with being cheap, still worked for turn-based ps2 games. I'm thinking if it works, you can do with a keyboard. Flightsticks are weird when it comes to tactical games. Moving from a tile to another...with a stick? That stuff's for fighting games. sm.h.
>>739095305This is true. If you look back, something like Pong wasn't designed for a keyboard but a dedicated controller.>>739095434True.
>>739095305skill issueI play action games on keyboard and mouse all the time
>>739095181a if a generic controller won't also annoy you>playing n64 games with their weird inputs on an xbox pad with the awkward right stick>every ps/snes game fucking with your muscle memory for a/b until you remap it>stuck with choice between a shitty dpad and an analog stick for games that used dpad

>>739096746Ultimate 2c costs the same and it destroys this old pos
>>739095181just buy a switch 2 anon, stop wasting your time.
>>739095181you can play half-life, pc nigger
With WASD you can have three fingers to cover all keys, that's 75% cover, approaching full dexterity. With a D-pad on a controller you have 1 thumb covering 4 potential directions. You can't press left and right together on a D-pad like you can with WASD. Not only because your thumb can't cover that ground, but because the plastic itself can only move in one intercardinal direction. If anything a controller should have the directional keys on the back so your fingers can actually reach them.
>>739100471>just buy a fisherprice tablet No
>>739100664>implying you have standards
This was pretty close to what I had growing up to play emulator games.
>>739095181i mean, duhwhat did you expectjust buy a controlelr
>>739103452I will never buy anything
>>739098156Somehow this was less impressive to me than the water in Ico.Ico's water simulation is running on like 32MB of RAM. I expect water simulations to be good now since they're running on a $2000 GPU 25 years later.
>>739095181get a Logitech F710 they're good.
>>739095181what about buying a controller?
>>739095181
>>739095181Why not just get one of those $20 8bitdo controllers?

>>739095305all these years later, James is still right about KB+M versus Controller.
>>739095305>his "games" only need 4 buttons to be played
>>739104516True. The Nes was based.
>>739100352>Asymmetrical sticksKill yourself brown
>>739095305They do though I played armored core 3 and 4u on mkb and it felt great
>>739095434Fighting games feel closer to an arcade setup/fightstick than a controller does.Pointing this out makes gamepadfags very mad for some reason and I don't know why.
>>739104643It's not padfags that get angry, it's fightstickfags. They paid a bunch of money for something that is functionally no different than a keyboard for the task while generating twice the noise.
>>739104421>the bald cuck agrees with me
>>739104643People who shit on kbm are lazyfag who never tried different different controller and control styleThey also hate the idea of manual keybind and make custom controls
>>739103873truecd still looks great though and I really like the level of simulation they chose to go for
>m+kb for anything but browsing bunkr sites
I had this opposite of this happen recently.I bought a new controller, launched War Thunder and it asked me if I want to bind the keys to it. I've been playing War Thunder since it came out 12 or 13 years ago but never bother to try it with a controller, so I exported my current keyboard config and then just let it auto configure to controller and holy fuck, how do people play tanks with a controller, it sucks so bad. There is a console version of war thunder right? PS5, the controller gameplay is awful do console players really play like this.
>>739104757>still being mad at James for prioritising being a parent over playing a kids game nearly ten years agoget a life
>>739095434Platformers are objectively better on a keyboard.
The only game I actually played on PCSX2 was Dark Cloud and I was pleasantly surprised with how well an analog stick maps to mouse movements.
>>739105030post hairline
>>739104643Because the usual argument padniggers use is that a stick is less accessible. A keyboard nullifies that and gives the pad no reason to be there.
>>739095181That's just you being retarded.I emulated almost every game from 2000-2015 and never had a problem with controls. WASD + numpad for camera was enough for everything even flight sims. it was to the point that I preferred using keyboard than gamepad while playing AC7.Analog precision controls that require more than the 8 general directions only really became a necessity around 2020. And even then, it's very rarely an issue because every game that uses a gamepad has autoaim anyway.
>>739098937shitbox controller problems
>>739095181Skill issue, unironically
I'm mostly upset that I want to play the Socom games but they had pressure sensitive controls. I know there's modifiers but these games take up just about every button unless it slipped my mind.
>>739095181You make key binds before trying them out? What kind of retard are you.
I would tell you that you games are for controllers, but skill issue the kb is totally good.
>>739111215M&KB controls suffer a lot when game is designed around the controller.>hold x to do something>nested menu system and garbage UI in general>press button y while holding another button to do z>multiple actions hard coded to certain buttonIt feels like some devs haven't improved their PC port practices since PS2.
>>739095181Go to https://gamepadla.com/?fo=1 and find something in your budget. Try to get Hall or better yet TMR sticks if you can since they won't develop drift in your lifetime.
>>739103661steal a controller then
