Author Topic: Controllers for PC  (Read 3573 times)

this sounds really intense; filed away as goofy lan party idea
i've had a thing where i basically made everyone play melty blood with flight sticks, and that was pretty fun, surprisingly doable too

downside is you can't move at all rofl

there was a vine of eggpire playing DFC with the Dreamcast twinsticks at NEC


I was playing RE2 on an emulator that was locked at like 10 FPS and I was trying to have a set up like I was playing an FPS.

no stop

DFC being trash aside (still buying it eventually lolololol) twinsticks are legit

-snippity-
THEREFORE. No matter how much you practice on controller, as long as the people on PC practice just as much, you will never be better than them, no matter how small the difference.
I appreciate the graph, I really do, but I do not think it is entirely relevant. The information in the graph is true, if everything but the platform is constant. However, that is not typically the case. The only point I was making is that it is entirely possible for a good player on console to have the same skill/accuracy as a decent player on PC. Do you agree to this?

four buttons... barely...

nah

DFC only uses four buttons anyway :V
also the joysticks are digital so you'd be able to use the right stick for extra buttons lolololol

Definitely possible. The entire point of the graphs was to represent the fact that if you control for all other variables besides platform, that's the result that comes out. It is entirely possible yes, and I'm sure that if we were to actually hold a competition with professional players it would be a damn close match, and both sides would have a sizable chance of winning due to all the thousands of other variables that aren't accounted for. The question, as far as I was concerned, was which one was objectionably better, not which humans are better than eachother, which is as far as I'm concerned, completely random.

I bought a wired 360 controller about 3 years ago for my PC 'cause I heard that it was the only one that I didn't need anything else to use on PC. It's still going strong even now and I can honestly say that driving games just would not be the same without it, neither would Dark Souls which is the game I originally bought it for; it just works.

That being said I apparently have rather large hands and I can't hold Playstation controllers comfortably so this might end up being a factor unique to yourself

The nvidia controller is really nice but it only works with through the tablet and not the PC :(

I sometimes use my 360 controller if I just want to lay in bed and play games on my TV instead of my monitor. The mobility factor is nice.

well to be fair the devs couldn't give a forget to make it (reasonably) playable with keyboard and mouse.

Even if they had I couldn't see it being much better on mouse and keyboard no matter how good the controls were

The format of a hack and slash is simply not easily transferable to KBM.
