My controller sat on the desk in front of the arrow key cluster of my keyboard, so I could run around in first person and cap some fools with KBM, then picked up the controller for driving.
I started playing GTA V with a controller, but was really confused how difficult the boat trailer chasing mission was. After almost 1 hour, I switched to KBM and finished it first try.
I still prefer controllers for most games.
Same. I also play Cyberpunk that way. Driving cars without the ability to control the speed is just a PITA. A binary input doesn’t cut it for me there.
OTOH aiming with anything but a mouse is also a PITA. Stuff like weapon switching also works better with dedicated keys vs a weapon wheel.
Now that I write it… all I would need would be one or two analog sticks/keys and I wouldn’t need the controller at all. It’s mainly the analog triggers that I need.
I’ve been a pc gamer all my life but controller has always easily been the superior choice. For first person shooters and strategy games I’ll go KBM sure, but for every other kind of game I’ll go controller when I can get away with it. It’s significantly more comfortable for me and I’m much more familiar with it.
I grew up on consoles, mostly Playstations, so I can use controllers a lot better then some people. I prefer to use them in FPS’, movement and melee feels a lot more natural with a controller then with a keyboard. Aiming is, I dare say, an art-form with a controller and it can get really difficult when the sticks are old and losing their sensitivity (*or it’s just a crap controller).
Not to mention how comfortable it is not having to have your fingers splayed across a flat surface for the whole game.
Same here, I grew up with consoles (Xbox mostly). I’m not used to keyboard so I don’t play that well on keyboard than I do on controller for most games. The only times I do use keyboard is for point and click or strategy games.
I played through The Forgotten City and really liked it! It’s a time looping puzzle game where you have to unravel the mystery of a strange city before every day it collapses into ruin. It really sucked me into the story and I could forgive a bit of the jankiness in the actual gameplay. The characters were all interesting and were very interconnected which made the whole thing feel quite alive. I didn’t love the ending (there are technically multiple but I managed to get the canon one on my play through), it was okay but a little out of nowhere, everything before that was good.
I haven’t played Outer Wilds but from what I know of it it should be similar. The Forgotten City is based on real world history though which was pretty interesting and it’s much more compact than what I’ve heard of Outer Wilds. It look me maybe ~7h to finish it fully, but can definitely be done faster too.
I thought I'd have put the game down by now, but I'm still playing Baldur's Gate 3. I'm now deep into Act 2 on my second playthrough with the Ghost Recon team. Currently everyone (Astarion, Lae'zel, one hireling, and myself) are level 5 fighter battle masters/level 3 rogue assassins. Since just hitting level 5 fighter, everyone now has access to an Extra Attack, and you can combine that with Sneak Attack, Action Surge, Trip Attack, and Precise Attack to wipe out entire encounters in one or two turns. So far, the only difficulties with this team came at the end of Act 1 (since I was low level in two classes instead of high level in one of them) and at a particular Act 2 quest where you have to defend a portal against dozens of enemies (I just didn't have enough crowd control for that many enemies, so I broke out Gale for that fight). Other than that, I'm basically only swapping out my hireling for character-related quests, like the one I'm doing right now for Shadowheart. At level 12, I should be level 6 fighter/level 6 rogue with everyone in the squad, and we'll storm through Baldur's Gate.
Other than that, I started playing some fighting games again, and I'm not as rusty as I thought. The usual suspects of Skullgirls, Guilty Gear Strive, and Street Fighter 6. I'd probably be playing more Mortal Kombat 1 if not for performance issues and the inability to decline matches against wi-fi players; it's a shame, because the game is otherwise pretty great.
I haven't made much progress in the System Shock remake, but I am really enjoying it. I discovered the Resident Evil remake pretty late, and it's a shame how few of those games there were for so many years, by which I mean that style of RE game, not games with the words "Resident Evil" in the title. Still, we seem to have plenty of them these days, which is great to see. System Shock was 94, and Resident Evil was 96. I'd be surprised to learn that RE was inspired by System Shock, but perhaps both of them took similar inspiration from Alone in the Dark. Hopefully that remake early next year is good too.
Depending on where in the game I end up: realize I’m basically already dead, shotgun a bottle of bleach and die, or try to survive for a while, get bitten, drink bleach and die. Or just get eaten alive, or get food poisoning, or a cold, and die.
I’ll let them chase my armored car that they need to hit with 5 missiles all over and bait them into parking garages and shit where they’re super easy to kill… Just pisses them off more.
