I don’t know about that, I wouldn’t want to play a fighting game with standard keyboard. An ergonomic keyboard could work though. In any case from what I’ve seen those guys either play with a gamepad or an arcade stick.
I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you’ve mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.
I definitely still played Quake with keyboard only and having it automatically look up or down on ramps.
I think during playing Jedi Knight I started using the mouse and having the revolutionary idea of using the numpad for movement and the surrounding keys for important Force powers. Because that was so much better than using the arrow keys.
One day when you’re an adult, you’ll look back at the childish patronising insults you threw at millions of women, men and children, none of whom you know or have any right to judge, in order to feel a sense of smug superiority for a few moments on the Internet.
If adulthood hasn’t happened yet, it’s not likely. I broke enough Atari controllers to have paid my dues. Fixed em with superglue and tape. But, you know. I was twelve. Then I got older and purchased big boy toys.
You ought to consider shorter sentences. And drop some of the formalisms. That works better for today’s audiences.
‘Gran Turismo’ is in fact quite good, and supports wheels. Their fantasy tracks are really nice, starting from the first game — I had to have them as mods in ‘Assetto Corsa’. ‘Wreckfest’ also works fine on consoles.
Man those smart TVs are so cheap now. The video screen is what you interact with most, its the biggest part of the experience. Get yourself a huge TV, an HDMI cable, and call it your gaming monitor. (My TVs don’t get to talk to the internet.)
Mouse and Keyboard superiority!!!
Mouse and keyboard has never felt right for most games for me.
Seeing people play something like Assassin’s Creed on mouse and keyboard is just wild.
It’s better for FPS games and worse for action games.
Don’t forget about RTS, MMO and some CRPG.
And fighting games

A mouse? For shooters?!?

No idea when I switched to WASD.
JK 2. Mouse wheel up and down for push and pull, click for choke. Others can be keys.
Next you’ll be telling me you missed tank controls in games. Why strafe when you can slowly rotate to turn?
Yep. Tomb Raider and Resident Evil are the only 3D games I like.
Ya. The controller people on their little boxes do not understand.
Like, I could plug a controller into my PC … but WHY?

I’m gonna just ruin everyone’s day by sharing that I play racing simulators with a controller. On PC.
Im gonna add to the ruination by saying I play shooters on PC with a controller
Really? Like, I know its physically possible. Do you survive long?
But … a little ruination is always good. Game on, friend.
Sure. Racing and flight simulators are a joke on those little boxes. Ya need a PC. Do you use extra monitors?
Hah, I play on a laptop with just its screen.

Yeah, it would also be the biggest part of my room.
:] Laptop it is, then!
