You say that like if they get owned by dualshock users they'll stick around and not rage quit.

U could add time pens and other handicaps but the race would just be better off with everyone in the same car
I think a fairer analogy is it's like going to participate in a medieval duel, and they're handing out short swords, and a group of people in the corner are muttering "we've been training with axes all these years..."
I'm someone who feels that people should be allowed to use the controller/control scheme that best fits their abilities. Not everyone performs their best on keyboard+mouse, just as not everybody performs their best using a dualshock or Move. To limit you and say "everyone has to use X" puts someone proficient with Y at a disadvantage. How is that a different outcome than saying Y is allowed, but these people are going to be better than you with it?
Using a dualshock does not automatically make you worse than every keyboard+mouse user. I know people awesome and terrible with both.
I do, however, feel that if this cannot be implemented in a way that doesn't completely unbalance things, then it shouldn't be done. This is coming from someone whose first interest in this game was from the keyboard+mouse announcement way back when, and who has been on both amateur and professional PC FPS teams. I'm biased in favor of keyboard+mouse.
If it breaks the game, it shouldn't be allowed. If it doesn't break the game, then it should be allowed. My gut reaction is it will either: 1) Not be implemented perfectly to where it feels and functions like a game built for the PC, or 2) break the game. I have faith that CCP may be able to pull it off, but I'm also willing to accept that it might not be possible.
However, as it stands, nobody is playing this with native keyboard+mouse support. Nobody knows what consequences it will have. I'm willing, and looking forward to testing it. I hope we get a chance. But, I think all the bickering should be put on hold until we see how it plays out, because nobody knows anything but speculation at this point, and how you think things will go may not be what happens. |
