Tony Carpenter Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Bloody hard game to play even on casual. I feel I need a controller instead of keyboard and mouse.

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 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
antler Posted June 4, 2022 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.

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

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.
