I was able to beat it on the hardest difficulty after 50 tries and actually cheered with joy afterwards which is something I haven't done since my childhood on the SNES.

Microsoft killed cross platform in the testing stages because of it

http://www.techspot.com/news/39738-microsoft-killed-cross-platform-project-because-pc-gamers-wrecked-console-gamers.html

There's multiple other tests done with the same result.

Developers are even acknowledging this. Then tell me why Blizzard is nerfing Torbjorn on CONSOLE only when he's not hard to deal with on PC. Why did ubisoft give enemies 50% more armor in the division?

Now unless your just shit posting please explain to me why there is overwhelming evidence a mouse is better for aiming.

They didn't put effort into because they knew console play would always be a casual shitfest. That's why they're focused on making PC competitive and and console merely "playable".

3D platformers play much better on keyboard and mouse since camera control becomes a non-issue. 2D platformers play just fine with keyboard only. 2D beat em ups play just fine with keyboard only. Shmups arguably play better with keyboard only.

It is a casual shitfest. And I hate myself for having friends that mostly play console shooters and force me to buy most of them there.

Here's a little secret btw. Torbjorn wasn't op on console because of the imprecise controls. He was op because console players are retarded.
>>
>>343588171

Play me in any FPS of your choice. Use your keyboard and mouse. I'll use my controller and I will wreck you. It's guaranteed.
>>
>>343588575

I think it's a little of both. The turret auto snaps which is fine when someone with a mouse can react nearly as fast. So naturally the stick is slower plus the person behind it is likely a moron.

>playing a shooter designed for console, on console
People like to ridicule aim assist and other console shooter features, and arguably that's fair when discussing competitive play, but in terms of smoothness of controls, a game like Destiny or Halo that's designed around a controller feels great, the same way a PC-oriented shooter like Half-Life or OG Doom feels great on PC.
It's when devs port games between systems without taking the control layouts into account that things get ugly, ESPECIALLY going from console to PC.
>>
>>343588957
You may be shit at the control scheme and get owned by people using it doesn't mean it's objectively bad. If someone can do good with it, then it's objectively viable.
>>
>>343588914
3D platformers are better without a doubt, you'd have to be insane to argue otherwise. 2D platformers and beat em ups are about on par since you're using digital inputs either way. Shmups benefit from the precision of keyboard tapping and having all the directions available to you at once. Only downsides are that moving in a circle is difficult (not very useful) and that switching between up/down is a little bit cumbersome compared to left/right. That's it.
>>
>>343588738
That's a lie. Third person shooters typically play better with a controller. First person shooters always play better with a keyboard and mouse.

>>343591113
The issue with those games is that the PC ports are awful. But even with those awful PC controls there's still benefits from playing on kb + m. For example you barely have to use the lock on since controlling the camera is so easy, so you're given more freedom of movement.
>>
>>343590918
Movement made with analog sticks in mind. The movement that takes a second for your character to start moving or turn around. I don't want a cinematic animation every time I move. When I press W I want to move forward with no delay, when I press S I want to turn around with no delay. Fallout 4 for example, there's this annoying fucking momentary input lag or something when you try to walk or run or turn around that might feel natural on an analog stick where you can adjust your speed but with a keyboard where movement is either off or on it's just clunky. Too many games now have irritating "cinematic" movement animations meant for controllers.
>>
>>343591487
It's not cinematic you retard, it's just regular fucking momentum. It feels retarded as fuck to immediately start moving at max speed in one direction without any sort of build up.

See Super Mario Brothers if you want to know what I'm talking about.

But as far as I know not every (or even most) FPS games have rumble when shooting, so do you just only play FPS games with rumble? Or is it the trigger of modern controllers you like?
>>
>>343591762
Momentum in SMB is fine because you can carry it and rush through the levels, and it's part of the challenge of platforming. Momentum in TPS games typically just slows them down to a crawl and makes them feel shitty to control. Just look at Max Payne 1 and then compare it to 3. 3 feels like you're controlling a fat clumsy drunk. 1 feels very responsive and as a result there are a shit ton of manoeuvres to avoid bullets that are simply not possible in 3. All because 3 went for a more realistic approach.
>>
>>343591279
Just get a gamepad and put it on your dick while playing on keyboard if you love the rumble so much.
>>
>>343592212
>But as far as I know not every (or even most) FPS games have rumble when shooting

All FPS games that register a controller have rumble while shooting.

Also, having a trigger is nice, yes.

Controller is just more comfortable sometimes. I play a lot of FPS games on PC using my DS4, even though I have a decent mouse and mechanical keyboard. It's easy to recline and relax with a controller, compared to hunching over the keyboard. If more games had good Gyroscopic aim like Splatoon does, I'd probably never play a single player shooter on KB+M again.

What we really need for him to be good again is take away the heal when deployed and replace it with a short term shield. Give him a chance to actually shoot people while deployed but also forces people to transform and move to heal.
