Took me the longest time to get used to controllers as well. I'm pleased that o know how to use both though. Each scheme is the best at something
I go the opposite. I have been console gaming for 40 years. I can perform much better even in fps games while on a controller
With auto aim off?
Yup. Controllers just work better for me. I have fast reaction time. I beat the Battletoads speeder level!
Maybe he knows where all the unsold E.T. carts are buried.
We all know, they were found and partially excavated in 2014 for a documentary
I had the same problem, having never used a console. I've always been using PCs (starting with small 8 bit machines, to a 286, and later to the beasts we currently use (running Linux though). It took me a good while to get used to the Steam deck.
I had no choice because I have no other gaming rig at the moment while my home is being completely rebuilt, so my PC has been turned off for two years now :(.
I've gotten better at it, and I'm getting through Fallout on the deck, but I have to avoid some games. For while some games do indeed work better with a controller, others (FPS) are way better with keyboard and mouse.
So all in all, I'm glad that the Deck has opened new possibilities. But the game controller isn't the ultimate gadget, just another option.
I can handle any action game, platformer, etc. using a controller, despite heavily preferring a keyboard and mouse (excluding racing). I still can't play FPS/TPS games on a controller... it has to be m&k.
Guys, it really depends on the type of game.
Anybody really do mouse keyboard for fighting game?
Just the keyboard, but yes
+1, very much enjoying using keyboard for Tekken. Haven't had much luck with games like SF that might require 360/720 inputs.
I'm in the same camp, although I wish it wasn't so. I've gotten okayish at Rocket League with mouse and keyboard, but that really is a controller game.
Oh yeah. Had exactly the same experience. Thought I was doing OK for a while but came to realise that there are some things that are white hard to do in that game with mouse and kb
I really hate how many people haven't really picked up or understood the profound difference that gyro aiming makes for controller players.
Pretty much why my Xbox is on a shelf.
C'mon valve make a steam controller 2
I need everyone and their mothers to learn how to use Steam Input, lets me easy set up any game for Gyro on the Deck.
For example, if I have my thumb on the right track pad, it'll make the gyro much more precise, which makes aiming much nicer
Gyros are absolutely key going forward
He wrote E.T on a spilt keyboard in vim and managed to exit it first time.. True story John Candy told me.
<...> managed to exit it first time <...>
That is not possible...
Controller is more comfortable to me, so unless I'm playing an fps that requires a lot of precision, I play on controller. I already have to sit at a mouse and keyboard for work everyday
I much prefer controller for anything that's not FPS. Steam Input makes this glorious.
I want to make love to Steam Input
That's an interesting perspective.
