Played consoles/handhelds most of my life. I feel most comfortable with a controller in my hand and usually prefer it to a mouse, efficiency aside.
>>
>>337304610
It's not that bad. I played halo competitively (don't laugh) and it was alright. Everyone else has the same crutch.

Despite popular belief, I kept my sensitivity in the middle. People who play high think it makes them good but.. ehhh.

Also, when playing with a controller you learn to rely a lot more on movement rather than aiming. Instead of adjusting your aim, you adjust your character position.

Just like any skill, it becomes more and more intuitive the more you do it.

Mouse>controller>keyboard

Mice are great for aiming and very comfortable to hold. Keyboards are not comfortable because they're design primarily for typing, not controlling a character. I know PC gamers have to defe d KB+M with their lives, but it's just wrong. Keyboards suck and are not as ergonomic as mice or controllers.
>>
>>337309016
I would take a keyboard for something like 2D platforming over that shitty dpad the 360 controller has. WSAD + numpad works really great for those
>>
>>337305407
That's all you can do on a pad, though.
>>
I don't prefer it, but I got started gaming on Xbox. I haven't been a PC gamer for that long, so I'm better with a controller than a keyboard and mouse for most games. I don't play competitive shooter on PC with a controller obviously, I just prefer to use a controller for other games. Maybe that'll change in the future.
>>

With skills. M&K is too ez that even a toddler can do it
>>
>>337308798
Most of the professional console FPS players I've seen play on much lower sensitivity than most of those montage making "pro" players.
People think being fast gives you some sort of edge, but really being comfortable with the controls is best.
>>
>>337308565
>keep
no, you're just paranoid
>>
>>337304610
They can't. Analog sticks are so fundamentally poor at precise aiming that console FPS have an aimbot built in. Otherwise it would be almost impossible to shoot with any accuracy.
>>
>>337304610
I like games such as unreal tourney and quake but I enjoy occasionally playing halo or something because it's generally an entirely different play style. It's a lot more slower and engagements feel like bullet time since aiming is less fast and requires more time to get a precise shot off.

I don't know about using a controller on a PC platform though it feels like shit

Four full X/Y camera control in FPSes:
Mouse > Gyro > Remote Pointer > Trackpad > Analog Stick > Trackpoint > Buttons/Keys/D-pad
This is objective fact and cannot be disputed.
>>
>>337309210
I disagree.
Any game that doesn't require aiming, I use a controller.
>>
>>337310647
Why is it that it becomes easier to aim in games when you turn off all aim assisting options then? Aim assist is not necessary, and quite harmful, to controllers.
>>
>>337304610
There's a reason why a game will never allow cross-platform matches. As long as there isn't a huge skill-gap the PC players will always end up winning.

The entire console-fps world is kept completely seperate from old-school/PC fps games, because console controls are built around aim assist.

It's mostly because consoles are the mass-market and not developing for them would mean huge losses. That's why the arena-shooter genre pretty much died out. You couldn't port that gameplay to consoles, so fps games were changed to be slow/aiming down sights/aim-assisted.

Moving the character with the left stick. Aim the view with the right one. Use the weapons with the buttons.

Why the fuck would you need more precise movement controls when 90% of the time you're just pushing up on the analog stick to move forward anyway?

>hurr durr gamepad is better for movement
Guess what faggots, not a single thing is keeping people from using some sort of hybrid joystick movement + mouse aiming in FPS on PC, there are several of good quality one handed controllers. Yet NOBODY has ever found an advantage in them at a competitive level. That's case closed right there, you can argue all you want with your console ignorance, it doesn't change reality.

Now, here are some reasons why joystick movement isn't as good as it seems.
1. Half your movement is done by the mouse anyways. Circle strafing and rocket jumping are both pretty intricate, yet you really only need one movement direction, the rest is done by aiming
2. You already have 8 directions on keyboard, you're not really that much more precise with a gamepad in a hectic situation, in addition, with keyboard you know EXACTLY what kind of movement you're getting at all times. That's how people can do millimeter perfect jumps.
3. Keyboard changes direction instantly, controllers don't, their movement is a bit sluggish, just as their aiming. Both 2&3 help with quick timed movements, like popping in and out of cover in sync with your fire-rate

This is the most retarded argument since it backfires completely. PC has the biggest selection of controllers and is most compatible with different displays (Monitor, TV, Projector) which you can use wired, wireless or however the fuck you want.

For an FPS? Literally never. If a mouse and keyboard are available, a mouse and keyboard are what should be used.

If you are playing a shooter, it better be with friends on splitscreen or you should probably kill yourself.

It doesn't though. Just because that one time it pulled your aim off someone doesn't negate the huge positives it constantly gives you. You get best of both worlds of sensitivity automatically (fast for map maneuvering and slow when having to aim), smoother tracking, and even a net gain to reflex time when someone tries to juke you due to it automatically pulling in the direction they're trying to go.

To be fair, the only one I know of that you can still find is the g13, and it has shit ergnomics and a ton of games can't read true analog inputs from it anyways. The Razer ones are still good but have dpads, not analog sticks

Ideally you'd have a controller with a trackball in place of a stick

it's not a fucking aimbot, it also doesn't ruin relative skill since everbody has it.

It just compensates for the lack of fine control, it doesn't go above that and litterally aim for you.

There's layers upon layers of aim assists on console. What you're turning off is "sticky crosshair" or whatever. You still have enormous hitboxes, bullet magnetism, where bullets auto aim on enemies close to your crosshair, aim snapping when you go into ADS and so on.
The only games I know of on console where you don't have an aimbot is Quake live and CS:CO. Both are pretty unplayable

>>337318428
>it doesn't litterally aim for you.
It literally does, cuck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL1_ht1EdAU
>It just compensates for the lack of fine control
This is pathetic, it IS an aimbot. It doesn't become less of an aimbot because some of the values in the .ini file are 0.5 instead of 1.0
>it doesn't ruin relative skill
no, but it lowers the skill ceiling enormously since someone who can't even aim properly will get as many hits as someone who can keep the crosshair on someones head in movement.

Apart from CS, fps are always dead on PC. Even the latest COD has like 10k players.
