But why would someone need mouse and keyboard on Xbox when gamepad is so much better?! /sarcasm
Because I grew up on a NES and Genesis, not a computer. God forbid people understand preference. Plus why would I want to game on a type writer when I could use a device MADE FOR GAMING?
So what? I grew up on NES as well.
I will take controller when I can. I'm used to it and I prefer it in most games. People who think Mouse and Keyboard are universally better all the time are very arrogant and shortsighted and its tiring.
Its not. Its just better for shooters.
I'm interested to see wth this will do to competetive gaming on consoles.
Mouse users competing with PC people? Disabled autoaim for the mouse users? Impossible to balance, and most likely a PR nightmare for any semi-serious shooter producer.
More excuses. Lets just put it into practice first before everyone acts like an expert in things that is virtually never done save one or two times.
It's not done one or two times.
Many PC shooters let you use controllers in them right now. It's giving you an option. But it's usually a very bad idea unless there's some kind of obscure exploit like how TF2 let you turn faster than you were supposed to with a charge attack if you used a controller. Using a controller makes you lose.
There was also a console port recently for Battlefield or something, I forget, but I think it has auto-aim for controllers but not so for mouse/keyboard. It's a shit show I hear. But this of course begs the question of why one implement gets auto-aim as a crutch if the only difference is "preference."
Xbox actually did a concept test a very long time ago with a shooter they were thinking of making for consoles and PC userbase put together. In playtests, the console players got rolled
literally every time. It was straight-up embarrassing. They scrapped cross-platform altogether.
Using a controller is a valid option in shooters. An option in the same way you can turn your gamma all the way down to black, your sensitivity to a million, and rebind all your controls to suicide. People only do it if losing or stubbornness is their preference.
