John Murdoch posted:No poo poo certain games are more or less suitable to different control methods, but at no point do I ever bang on about KBM being innately superior because I don't give a poo poo about how people play their games. It's especially funny though because when I say I played Dark Souls that way, a game that people have beaten with dance pads, guitar hero guitars, blindfolded, and with literal bananas, suddenly goons hiss and recoil like vampires to a cross. Beating dark souls with a dance mat is not a hilarious example of the varied control methods that people can use, it's just another sign that people play too much dark souls.

The only time I got irked about someone using the wrong type of controller was when my friend reluctantly decided to give Dark Souls a try. Knowing he's a KB+M player, I told him the game is really better played with a controller, but he insisted so I was like ok whatever. Next time I spoke with him he told me he only spent about 30 minutes on the game before giving up on it because "the controls sucked." Motherfucker.

Cuz that's the other thing, I'm guessing for a lot of people their entire point of reference is trying to boot up unmodified PtDE with KB+M and yeah, no, that's a bad idea.

It was the original PC port, which... yeah had some issues. That said, DSfix or whatever was available at the time, and that took care of most of the major problems (like not being able to set the resolution to anything greater than 720p lol).

I wonder how severe the reaction would be if I dressed full gamer catgirl and did a twitch stream playing games, while talking about how games are just a thing to do sometimes, and they aren't really important. Thinking 50% death threats, 50% dick pics. Cleavage is powerful yo.

Its not about getting mad or about super important video games, its about how fun it is to make fun of pc gamers who type and click on things all day and then keep doing it in their leisure time.

X JAKK posted:I miss the good old days of ultimate control by shoving a joystick up my butt. Then those pearl clutchers had to turn it into some weird sexual thing, and so the powers that be put these big balls on the top of the joysticks so they wouldn't fit up the butt anymore, though we would still find a way. Never controlled quite the same though. Buy a kegel controller and shove it up your butt instead. It's the modern 21st century way.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:valve already did this I'd make a big joke about it but as a trackball user myself I'll just ya there's a big difference because you can't flick the same on a trackpad. When you get really accustomed to it you can put enough force into the spin that it keeps going after you take your fingers off the ball and it'll land where you want it to, or you can just keep spinning it. Can't do that with a track pad, unless there's some rad software emulation of it I don't know about. That'd be cool. Is that something that exists? Cause I'd be interested.

FoolyCharged posted:I remember when the arkham asylum games came out and everyone swore up and down that the controller was the only way to play it and that the kb + mouse controls were terrible. These people were under the mistaken impression that it was a 3rd person action game with melee combat, when it was in fact a first person game where you shoot batman at people. You just line up the center of the screen with whoever you want Batman to beat on, click on them, and Batman immediately zooms over and bashes their face in. Thus KBM was in fact the superior way to play. Nice Van My Man fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Feb 5, 2022 |

It's weird and nonsensical, like making fun of a formula 1 driver for driving a car because commuters also drive cars. And I bet you've used a keyboard and mouse to watch quite a few pornos and never once thought that the experience was worse for people who use a keyboard for work.

Trackball emulation mode was the default and most popular setting on the steam controller's touchpad. You could set it spinning and take your fingers off and it would keep going, and it even had haptic feedback where it would kinda "click" as the imaginary trackball rotated so you could feel how it was moving. I played Dark Souls & Monhun World with it like that and had a swell time. It also had a gyro control, so you could set the sensitivity really high on the trackball for quick turns and then use the gyro to fine-aim for stuff like bow headshots. Too bad the controller is discontinued. Mine broke and I had to stop using it because I couldn't finish Sekiro without being able to jump. They use the same trackpad design on the steam deck so maybe they'll make more controllers later, but who knows what goes on in gaben's head.

Yep! In Dark Souls you could use the track pad to flick the camera around way faster than you could move it with an analog stick. Made it really useful for pulling off bullshit in pvp.
