Increasingly I find it depending mostly on what the game was built for… I was raised, if you will, on PC point and shoots, and so my preference is for mouse and keyboard. But even a lot of AAA games these days that are console ports have noticeable pointer lag and aggressive reticule gravity or other aids. I find these really frustrating since they interfere with the 1:1 sense you get with motion on a mouse, so I’ll switch to a controller instead.

Hogwarts Legacy is an example of a recent AAA release that has such heavy reticule gravity that sometimes the best strategy is to just hold an analog stick forward and not move it (e.g. in the broom races)… I hate this kind of thing but I feel like it’s something you put up with as a PC gamer due to the popularity edge the consoles have. At least it tends to be games where fast aiming isn’t a huge factor.

It depends on how big of a role precise movements play (that are controlled by mouse on KMB). And how much I gain from the analogueness of controllers. Take Death Stranding for example: Shooting is relatively few and far between and it rarely requires high precision when you shoot (most weapons are either splash damage grenade-types or fully-automatic with a generous enough amount of ammo). The trekking along to deliver packages feels much better on a controller. So DS is controller territory for me, even if it involves shooting.

Red Dead Redemption 2? Couldn’t imagine playing it half as well with a controller, because most guns have a very low rate of fire, gunfights are a lot more lethal and (thanks to the “Scroll Wheel Movement Speed” mod) I am able to casually meander at different speeds even while getting all the benefits of playing with keyboard and mouse.

Can you use one of the premade to tell your custom to wait at camp?

No, already tried that. Unfortunately doesn’t work…

EvaUnit02, rok temu do gaming w Do you know any good JRPGs with engaging gameplay similar to SMT?

tri-Ace games have fantastic combat mechanics, imo. Give the original Valkyrie Profile, any Star Ocean (later games have more intricate combat), or Resonance of Fate a spin.

Noxar, rok temu

This is the first I hear about tri-Ace games. Thanks!

First person or shooter games I use mouse and keyboard for better control. I couch PC game so it’s actually a wireless trackball and keyboard I use. For anything else it’s controller.

I don’t believe you can do that.

Since i’m a console player mainly i find myself trying to use a controller when playing pc. However, i recently started playing half life 1 which didnt have a controller option and its gotten me more used to the idea of using keyboard and mouse

First/Third person shooters and tabletop-esque games, keyboard and mouse. Pretty much everything else, gamepad.

I’d eventually fall through a hole and maybe see talking animals several hundred feet below.

I’ve been wasting time with Noita and BG3 as of late. I played Noita before leaving for work today, so the most likely thing to happen is I set myself on fire.

MouseWithBeer, rok temu do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

Keyboard and mouse for literally everything except things where using a wheel makes sense (ETS2 and ATS).

I can not use controllers at all. I can’t wrap my head around using them properly and pretty much all except one (ps3) hurt my hands after 15 mins.

It depends, am I going to be a washed up disco star or a car obsessed binoclard?

I‘d probably die in the French revolution
