Tony Carpenter Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Bloody hard game to play even on casual. I feel I need a controller instead of keyboard and mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game only lists partial controller support. That mode can be less than satisfactory when you need 3 devices to play the game. A mouse for selecting menus items, a keyboard for shortcuts, and the controller for movements, etc. Best to use keyboard/mouse only mode for them. All Windows games that were also designed for game consoles should ideally include a full controller mode in Windows, but unfortunately some do not. Some games for Windows do include full controller support. I have an XBOX wired USB controller for PC that works good for those games that support it.

abacab Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 Fyi, Steam keeps a good list of which games have full controller support, among other feature details... https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Name_ASC&category2=28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I found the controls ok with keyboard/mouse, but then again, I generally find keyboard/mouse easier than a controller for FPS games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, but I have my casual gaming PC set up in the living room next to my flat screen HDTV. Although I do have a wireless keyboard/mouse on my coffee table, a controller is preferable for that 8-10' interface. Hunching over the coffee table gets very uncomfortable after a couple of minutes. Much rather kick back on the couch! 🤣 Edited June 4, 2022 by abacab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the replay value is not there. I don't do sports games either. I'm religiously set on using a key board and mouse. I do have a controller or 2.

Many hours ( many many many!!) playing Hexen, Doom, and Quake (I and II). Then I found a game called "Arena: Elder Scrolls" Had to stop playing them. I wasn't doing anything else!! No music, no practice, no nothing!! I still play an occasional round of PGA Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
