Now, I know there are loads of hardcore console shooter fans out there who are rightly proud of their pad skills, but let me run something by you all..
I sucked when I started using the PS3 controller. no biggie - it's a new skill for me, so I expected to, but I'm picking it up pretty well, and starting to take names. What I didn't anticipate is the way that situational awareness suffers using the console controller - as you can't glance around as fast as a human could move his head and eyes, your visual awareness cone narrows down in front of you. With mouse you could glance round more freely like a soldier on a battlefield might. Your awareness (potentially) improves, you get to admire the scenery more, and I'd argue that you feel more present and involved in the game world, so the experience becomes more immersive as a result.
this is completely subjective, the overly accurate and un ergonomic feel of KBM completely ruins immersion for me. Always has, always will. Again, totally subjective.

Also, and this is a personal observation, the console controller encourages people to dance and caper 'round like a demented ballerina. Not quite what I'd expected of an immortal super-soldier. some means of effectively using cover has a more military feel to it than hopping from foot to foot.
And this is exactly backwards. Compare any PC version to Console version and you will see PC ALWAYS has more twitchy unrealistic movement. It has everything to do with the clunky nature of movement based off of WASD style control and the point and click aiming. With WASD it becomes super simple to dance and wobble about since you can immediately change directions with the ON/OFF nature of directional movement.

So, KB/M, and move controller, it's been said. I'm looking forward to feeling more present on the battlefield!
.. and ive still got hope that CCP will do a good job of nerfing the KBM easy mode when it's implemented, but I'm sure even if they do that it will just lead to more complaining. It's a lose/lose it seems.

Without KBM it alienates every PC gamer.
With KBM it alienates a small percentage of the PS3 market (Which is only the few who can't stand the though of playing against PC gamers).
It seems like an obvious decision to make. Plus it gives EVERYONE the option of using their KBM on the game. Since everyone here has a computer, everyone can use it.
The problem isnt "playing against PC gamers" the problem is that KBM is extremely difficult to balance against a controller. It's just a simpler and more precise control scheme, and one that many folks dont get any enjoyment out of using.
and your premise that catering to PC players over PS3 players on a PS3 game is the obvious choice is just silly.
Also, not everyone here has a keyboard and mouse they could use for this purpose. I don't. I have a laptop and a tablet.
Let's all hope they get this right and none of this matters |

You seem to think people only play on consoles with pads because there scared or cant afford PC's and KB+M
... Why would someone prefer playing an FPS on a gamepad? KBM is far, FAR superior.
you seem to be confusing your subjective opinion with fact. |

I dont feel like investing money on a game where im going to get my ass handed to me just because some players have an advantage. bulshit, the mouse is going to be locked to the same turning speeds as the controller. didn't you notice that small faster suits and turn thier head faster? That's by design. CCP is going to make it so when you want to swing around with the mouse to quickly kil someone behind you you have to wait as you slowly turn around, it'll be fine.
The problem is that KBM at 100 sensitivity is still basically just point and click and any smuck can use it at that speed, but DS3 at 100 is extremely difficult. Also WASD leads to unnatural twitchy movement that isn't possible with a joystick. KBM is easy mode no matter how you slice it, there's no way to balance it. |

Coming for the guy with aim assist. Do you even realize how hilarious you sound?
So, is KBM easier or not? can you guys please make up your minds? I mean, it's kind of entertaining watching you refute your own arguments and all, but it does get old after awhile. |
