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

I play a lot of FPS games and I’ve always been a PC player come up playing with keyboard and mouse. However, I tend to find controllers to just be more ergonomic and more comfortable. To me, the best way to play is simply controller with gyro aim.

I love my Steam Deck for this and I also love my Steam Controller, however I find it to be a bit too big for my small hands, which is a big problem that I have with it, because this thing is so innovative, it’s just so good!

I played Battlefield 1 on my Xbox today. And aiming with just a joystick is horrendous. God I miss the gyroscope every time I can’t have it.

Picked up Warhammer Dark Tide since it’s on gamepass. I played 8 hours straight. This could be bad…lol

Will definitely pick this up. The first game and MM were great.

Boxtifer,

Same! Pretty pumped.

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

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

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

Davel23,

There are several games in that series, most if not all of which are on GOG for cheap. I recommend Caesar III (don't bother with IV), Zeus, Pharoah and Cleopatra. They all follow the same basic formula and are a lot of fun.

Elder millennial, here. One of the weird things about the 90s was cereal boxes marketed to little bastards like me at the time would often have some kind of toy included in it.

PC gaming was kind of in its infancy and growing rapidly in popularity, so eventually the inevitable happed: a cereal company promoted their cereal by shoving a fucking CD into it, that little bastards like me lost their shit over, installed, and played the snot out of.

Chex Quest.

It was literally just Doom, except reskinned so the demons were boogers, and everything else was a fucking Chex cereal advertisement.

AND IT WAS AMAZING! lol

Best box of cereal my parents ever bought. Not a bargain bin, but I feel like “in a box of cereal” fits the spirit of the question.

Staple_Diet,

When I grew up AoE was put in cornflakes.

Staple_Diet,

Cornflakes is cereal. AoE is Age of Empires, you might have heard about it. The comment I replied to was talking about games being released in cereal boxes. Where is the context lacking?

spearz,

…if you read that comment without context, it sounds funny? It did to me, anyway.

Staple_Diet,

Ah, I see.

Hey that was me, too! Definitely worth $4 for that game, and a free box of cereal, lol.

Rhynoplaz,

Gonna vouch for Chex quest. That game was SOLID! 😂

batmaniam,

That had to be wild to work on. You get brought into the kickoff meeting for what you assume is going to be some soulless marketing gimick, then they start laying it out.

It had a plot, a decent amount of levels. There was a good amount of heart that went into that.

XbSuper,

I got the original roller coaster tycoon from a cereal box! I got other games too, but that’s definitely the best (by far), and only one I remember.

Age of Empires 2 when a Kmart was closing down back in like 2001.

I got Fallout 1 and 2 in a 2-pack for $10. This was back in the early '00s before the others were released. I loved those games so much.

Well this is more of a digital bin but I picked up Brother a tale of two sons on sale ages ago because the art looked cool. Hands down one of the best games I ever played, made me sob like a bitch.

Dungeon Keeper. I can still hear the sound FX of a slapped imp, or the Dark Mistress’ scream

all shareware was bargain bin.

Jazz Jackrabbit was THE fucking SHIT.

Krudler,

Oh shoot, thanks for reminding me of that old classic! That reminds me of Jill of the Jungle as well!

If my memory is right, after seeing how good sonic was on the megadrive,I was surprised with Jazz on my PC. It was so good and showed me that I didn’t need a console.

Krudler,

Second reply…

I distinctly remember in my city various computer stores had kiosks which were basically coin op PCs and for $1 you could transfer shareware onto a floppy disk. You were still responsible for paying for the full license if you liked it.

Does anybody else remember these?
