SynysterShadows1213 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Do any you PC players find it hard to play with a mouse and keyboard? I'm just curious because I want to....but I'm too used to a controller. Depends which game really. Something like Assassin's Creed is easier to play with a controller than keyboard but games where you have to point and shoot (like ME or Dead Space, RE) those are better with keyboard and mouse. I prefer it that way I've only really used my controller for 3 games I have (Fable 3, AC, and DMC4), but I stick to keyboard and mouse the majority.

mikedepreston Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Xpox. I find it vastly more enjoyable to play games on the xpox than the PC, not to mention that Oblivion runs better on the xpox than on my peat-fired olde PC so it doesn't stand a chance with Skyrim.

And considering Skyrim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIROryuu Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I've said in my other similar threads, I'll be buying it for xbox 360 on release day. Play it how it was intended. Then when I've exhausted the game for all that it is, when I'm no longer interested in finishing the storyline again(there is always 6 months later and a year later like I always do, enjoy a game like it's new again). I'll buy it for PC and mod it to make it more to my liking. Use other mods and enjoy what others have poured their effort into.

Squiggoth_the_mighty Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Erm... judging by the way this discussion is going I may be throwing lamp oil on your fireball (note the Magicka inspired pun there... anyone?), but definitely on the PC for the mods and the keyboard+mouse set-up (the way it should be IMO) but if I start hankering after console like crappy controls I'll just sync my PS3 pad to the pc via USB if Skyrim supports that variant of controller set-up. and just to add a smidge of off topic flavour... RealSwords mod in Skyrim, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the controller simply because I don't have to reach around.My keyboard is built for comfort when typing not gaming sadly. So reaching is annoying at best. I like mouse controls for aiming but you can't have your cake and eat it too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimembrain Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have a few reasons I like controls on the 360 Pad more than key/mouse combo .. wasd keys are not sensitive to pressure and I like that delicate touch of a thumbstick .. might as well use a Dpad .. my wrist doesn't like moving the mouse around to move the cam .. the slowed down pad response makes the framerate look smoother since the cam doesn't jerk around so much .. I feel more connected to my character controlling them with my thumbs than I do with my right wrist and left index,middlering fingers on the wasd keys .. a lot less effort .. also each game on the PC uses way different key setups and q,e,r,f,z,c,v are always up in the air .. it annoying to get use to it for every game .. my pad is much more simple ... that all said .. I still use my PC over my 360 .. I just hope Skyrim has full gamepad support for the 360 remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord J Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 PC is superior because of the modding community which is able to significantly extend the life of the game. I must've got at least 200 hours extra playtime through mods in Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
