It is kinda messed up that keyboard and mouse lets you be precise with looking but not with moving, and controller lets you be precise with moving but not with looking. There should be a way that lets you be precise with both at the same time!

Best controller for soulslikes, hands down

Track pads suck for FPS aiming*, but they're great for third person camera control.

*still leagues better than an analog stick though lol

Using a keyboard for games instead of a controller is like using a typewriter instead of a steering wheel to drive a car.

Gyro+stick is the only good aiming input for a controller. Stick handles the big fast movements, gyro for fine aiming.

I've softened a lot on controllers thanks to this thread convincing me to try them for Elden Ring, but I still feel a little spark of anger every time I go to precise aim with a bow and have to use the analogue sticks. If I'm in a situation where my target is shooting back I find it almost impossible because of how long it takes me to line up a shot.

Tbf archery is always just straight up rear end in Souls games compared to anything else. It's passable for pulling and at best halfway decent if you use great bows with lockon for gimmick shotgun builds.

I'm open to interpretation!
The best GTA game is the one with multiple unique cities, and multiple playable characters, of which one or more are women.

That’s right. GTA 1.

TBH a lot of you are telling on yourselves by wanting to be the "controller" of your video game.

Assassin's Creed 2 was a pretty good game, whereas Assassin's Creed was dogshit

I can think of several game series where the second game in the series is better than both the first and third, such as Just Cause, Payday, and Baldur's Gate.

Back in the early days of gaming rapid technological improvement meant sequels were often leaps and bounds above their predecessors, just look at Pacman vs. Pacman 2.

It's true, I should just give the little dudes a break.

The wheel guys in From games after Dark Souls are massively nerfed, which kind of ruins them. If they're not complete bullshit then what's even the point?

She counts as a dragon and all dragons have weapons if you chop their tail off. Also you're a monster for attacking the big fuzzy dragon lady.
