This is fairly close to how I feel. I'm not a big fan of complicated PC controls, and I hate hate hatehatehatehate WASD. I shouldn't have to toggle a walking function. This may change if keyboards that are pressure-sensitive ever become a standard and we can get analog walking and vehicle throttle and all that jazz. Everyone talks about how much better a mouse is to aim. Well an analogue stick is far superior for gradual speed increments. I don't care about precision shooting. And your average RTS games purposely make things needlessly complicated. I think for me, I prefer console simply because it demands a controller. Sleek, elegant, no extra uncessary bells and whistles. If it can't be played with a controller, then you're not trying hard enough :POriginally Posted by Leigh
Unpopular opinion and hyperbole aside, WASD really makes my hands ache for some reason. I can sit and type a thesis or story for hours, but I think my hands are moving more in that regard. And honestly I do prefer analog movement, and there's no option for that on PC. I truly do hate toggling walk/run
So most of the PC games I play are with a controller anyway. The only bonus is sometimes mod support. So if I had to choose, it'd be console. But I am happy this need is slowly slipping away. There are tons of PC games these days with gamepad support, and even plenty of PC games with local co-op. Which even a year or so ago was completely unheard of
It's a good time to be a gamer. Plenty of valid options for everyone. And mine is with a junky $300, 3 year old gaming laptop. And there's still plenty for me to play that's coming out. Thankfully I love me some low requirements indie games
