To be fair if I played any fps on a controller I would probably be just as bad.

It's just like aiming on a miniature joystick.
You DO have a joystick, right anon?
>>340844220
I don't, I only play games on keyboard + mouse.
Then again, I'm not paid to do game reviews.

You'd think he at least would have a bit of foresight and play the game a bit and get accustomed to the controls before making a fucking video.
How are you supposed to trust the opinion of someone that doesn't even know how to play the game properly.
>>340844713
that's not "getting accustomed to the controls" that's "I have never played a shooter in my life" bad. It's worse that he's on a gamepad.

I don't understand how it is possible to be THIS bad. Especially since it's their job to play and review videogames.
I played Halo a few weeks ago after having not touched a controller in close to 5 years. I was still 100x better than this guy.

I remember when you were forced to play with a Joystick in Arma because the controls for mouse were completely fucked if you got into a chopper or plane and you'd crash that shit 12/10 times

>>340845801
What the fuck is this sorcery
Aiming with a controller is hard. But not impossible. I played through Doom with one, and with moderate success. But if I'm ever going to replay the game it's going to be on PC.
>>340845801

>>340846190

>>340845801
That's because mouse is better in projecting manual hand aiming. Sticks are better with tank/machinery aiming though

Because it's fucking awesome.
>>340846307

Better as in more fun/immersive.
There SHOULD be a hindrance to your aiming in those situations.
Same with stealth games. Not being able to reliably instantly shoot everyone in the head is a plus.

Is it better to have higher or lower sensitivity when it comes to aiming with consoles?
>>340849987
I prefer low
>>340849442
i felt physical pain watching this
>>340849774
You are literally gimping yourself if you play FPS games without a mouse and keyboard
>>340849987
Higher. You need to be able to turn quickly. On a mouse, your max turning speed is essentially unlimited, and thus lower sensitivity for higher precision is better. On a console, higher sensitivity is harder control but provides an objective benefit over lower sensitivity.
My entire console shootan experience was clearing Vanquish on Hard. But that's a TPS. I wonder if I'd be just as bad at this.
>>340846307
anything about aiming better with a controller is a lie
this myth about TPSs being better with a controller, etc
all aiming is pointing a reticule over a target, and the mouse is objectively superior at this
>>340845801
Its not that hard to play games on a controller Doom was easy even on the hardest difficult. Plus most guns like super shotgun, and heavy assault rifle just a cake walk
>>340843768
I think your childhood would be more awesome if you didn't waste it by playing video games t b h
>>340844114
No, you have to be a special kind of fucked up to be this bad with sticks. I don't understand why anyone has trouble with it. Sure, it's not as accurate as a mouse, but you should be able to play single-player just fine.
The person playing in the .webm must have palsy or something. If you can't take on NPC enemies, you're just fucking bad.
>>340845789 >>340845801
It take a little bit of time to use the sticks. Sometimes people need a good game to really get them into dual stick control. (Pro-tip: The learning game really should have aim assist) Once you find it, after about I'd say two hours of gameplay, you're good to go. I recommend pic related.
I genuinely think that Polygon gave this to a eight year old to review. Which is weird, because I've seen eight year olds who are perfectly fine with the analog sticks.
>>340845801
Dude it's not hard. I can never understand why PC only players have such a hard time. If millions of consolefags do this every day, you can do it. Of course, there's really no reason to on PC because a mouse aim is much better no matter what. I'm just saying that anyone can play PvE with a controller.
The thing of it is, unlike a mouse where you just put the cursor wherever you want it, instantly, you generally aim with a joystick by sweeping the reticle across what you're trying to hit and pulling the trigger at the correct time. Or at least that's what I do. I've been playing console fps for 15 years now and it's worked. That's with and without aim assist in games, just incase anyone wanted to start that argument.
Playing against people using mice when you have sticks, however, is going to get your dick stomped in half.
>>340845405

>>340849442
>>340849774

Mouse and keyboard is better for FPS in every way, but this .webm is bad by any standards. It's not hard to be accurate with a stick. This kind of shitposting does nothing but lead to more shitposting.

>>340853809
kb+m is uncomfortable. It's better in terms of utility, but it's extremely uncomfortable to anyone who's used to sitting back with a controller. FPS are the biggest reason I can see to sit forward, at a desk, to use a mouse.
But for anything else, I find it better to sit back with a controller that I can hold in both hands, with all buttons accessible from the grip. I don't like having one hand hovering over the keyboard and the other doing motion control.
Games like RTS and Civ are another story, they basically require a mouse. But you're making a big deal out of using a controller. It feels a hell of a lot more natural to me to grip something that has the controls on it than to put my arms on a desk. I mean, the military flies drones using controllers, not mice.
>>340844704
I can't listen to this fuckwit for more than 30 seconds.
>>340853956
At that point, why not just use a mouse? That seems to eliminate the point of joysticks.
It is pretty damn cool though. I'd be willing to try it out. Maybe even buy one.
> it's a /v/ decides to circlejerk and shit on consoles episode
You people are so predictable. If you don't own a console, then that's fine. But there's no reason to harass and insult console players. I mean, if you prefer McDonald's over Burger King, you don't drive to Burger King, go inside, start insulting the customers there and throw Big Macs at them now do you?

one thing consoles (at least the control scheme) have over PC is comfort
>>340854197
Probably because it's handheld, but the way that controller is set up doesn't seem like it would be too comfortable to use.
>>340844704
>the few times I've done something I don't usually do had made me uneasy
No shit, retard. Everyone is uncomfortable at the range at first. It's part of becoming competent and safe around guns.
>>340853956
what's it called though?
>>340843768
that's on purpose
when you grow up/adapt on consoles you get good with the stick, and have no excuse for bad aim after that.
while i agree that mouse is much better that is total bullshit.
>>340845801
>its LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
I mean I'm not going to deny mouse aiming is clearly better but come the fuck on, aiming with a controller is not difficult at all.
>>340854238
If I was having a meal in a public place and someone started eating their whopper over my food and getting their chewed filth all over my meal I'd fucking complain, yeah.
>>340854285
Yeah but there's no tool to grip. I like having this thing that I pick up, hold, and manipulate. This isn't hard to understand.
It's like anytime someone prefers using a controller, you see it as an attack on PC gaming in general. Just use whatever tool you feel most comfortable with on a per game basis. I'd never play Dark Souls with kb+m, I'd never play a PC shooter with anything but a mouse.
>>340854414
Actually it's more like the guy eating the whopper is only doing so because he has important places to be, but then someone with steak they bought with mommy's credit Card comes over and tries to start shit by """accidentally""" dropping his food onto the other guy's tray.
Meanwhile the steak itself has been barely eaten, has ketchup on it, and it probably well done.

Arthur Gies. The loudest cunt on Polygon, who used Suicide Girls as his social media account for years so he could objectify women on the go.
>>340854084
>the military flies drones using controllers, not mice
No.
The military uses a HOTAS setup to fly drones (or regular aircraft for that matter). The reason for that is that for controlling aircraft you're best off with a flight stick - not some tiny analogue stick that has barely any deflection range.
>>340854595
They actually do use 360 controllers in some cases. Or at least did. I don't think it was for the big ass drones, though.
All I know is, I want to play a Gundam game with a setup like that.
>>340847464
Halo was always inferior to Timesplitters 2, you child.

Do you think Polygon might be looking for a new FPS reviewer? I am sure they would be interested in someone who can actually moderately play vidya.
>>340854685
>They actually do use 360 controllers in some cases.
No, they generally don't. For testing purposes they might use a variety of input devices, depending on what the developer/engineer decides to use, so as long as they don't yet have real hardware they might hook up some intermediate device which might be a controller or something else (the military obviously uses a wide range of entertainment devices on the market for their purposes), but in general the analogue sticks on controllers are pretty poor for controlling aircraft, simply because they have so little deflection range.
>>340855096

Can you stop talking out your fucking ass
It's insulting
>>340843768
Is he using a flight simulator joystick on 1 sensitivity?
You're supposed to compensate for the difficulty in aiming by moving the left stick in tandem with the right.
>>340855686
Noticeably, people as bad as that Polygon player can't move and aim at the same time. I've seen it regardless of control scheme.
I could understand being bad and going slow, but people who are REALLY badmostly girlsdon't even attempt to move and aim together in the first place, and it never works out because there's too much going on to do that.
>>340854685
They use a 360 controller to control a couple types of automated tanks IIRC, and to control the Lazer on that new ion cannon thing. Using a 360 controller on a plane or drone though is unheard of, and for good reason.
>>340844114
The first time, sure, you're going to be this bad.
But after some practice you actually can comfortably play, it just werks.
>>340844220
Nope, joysticks involve more arm joints.
>>340856437
not even
basically when it comes to aiming with a controller you have to move the thumbstick/reticle to the general area that the target you want is then you actually strafe the character into the final position
>>340844114
do you get paid to give your opinion on games though?

This is just a preconception everyone seems to have. I owned TF2 for the PS3 and was accurate as a fucking surgeon with the scout. Even after switching to the PC version and playing it exclusively for years I could never achieve a mastery even close to it when using mouse and keyboard.
I'm playing DOOM 4 on console without problems too. I think people who mastered Golden Eye and Perfect Dark controls on the N64 can pretty much become experts in any control scheme.

Yea but holding buttons on a d-pad can get annoying while at the same time i'd have no trouble holding an analog stick up for 6 hours.
