I just got done playing Dig Dug using the Xbox One S controller and my goodness it didn't even do what I wanted it to do at times despite pushing or pulling in the right direction. Btw I am trying out that new monthly pass (14 day trial) from Microsoft and there is quite a bit to choose from. For some this will be a good thing but with my backlog for life and my preference to own games I can't see me using this past the free month. Now anyway .... back on subject ...
What games have driven you crazy while trying to play them with a controller?
Just Cause 3 is my favorite game. But you have to play with keyboard + mouse + controller and I don't have 4 hands. Most of the time I use keyboard and mouse, but most vehicles are better using a controller. Some vehicles, like tanks, are better controlled via keyboard because I need the mouse to aim the turret in one direction while driving in another direction.
So I am constantly switching between keyboard + mouse vs controller and then trying to determine if maybe using the keyboard is better for this particular vehicle. What a pain in the ass it is to jump out of a car, only to get immediately killed because I wasn't fast enough getting back onto the keyboard.
I couldn't play at all using the keyboard and mouse. Elite's button configuration page has about 200 commands. I had to create a custom controller configuration by trial and error. It took days until I got it just right, so I had most of the important functions on the controller and strange flight controls that would only make sense tor me and my space pedovan.
Racing games. They suck on keyboard+mouse, and aren't much better on controller. That's why my next purchase is going to be a nice racing wheel, pedals, and shifter.
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is better with a controller but only if you have a gyroscope for aiming the bow. Using an analogue stick is ridiculous, clunky and stupid. You get used to it after a bit but it doesn't compare to a gyro.
There are also some puzzles you can't get through without it, and you have to emulate it with a mouse. But of course, you only get two axes.
Yep! I still have a fairly normal Xbox controller. But the edgy design is uncomfortable to hold = Ready Player 2. What I really loved was my R.A.T. 3 mouse.
My friend called it the Batmouse, I liked that name.
Too bad they kept dying and I owned 3 of them before I wised up and realized it was shit. It worked well, but it kept breaking too fast. Most of the RAT's were very expensive with many un-needed features. I wasn't surprised that the company tanked.
He is such a funny guy and reports about really weird old hardware (Oddware), old games on old PC's that he played as a kid, going to the thrift store and finding freaky stuff and history of computers companies - some successful, but mostly the failures.
The DS drivers for my PS3 controller are phuqqed. At least i think so. Sometimes disconnects during GTA V on PC. Every 5 seconds or so. It's a piss-off.
Do those touch screen controllers on mobile emulators count? Because if so, every mobile emulation ever. Else, Mario kart. Tilting the wii remote tilts me.
Body English counts for style points. I tilt my Xbox controller and lean into it all the time. Even when I realize that I'm doing it and say "What hell the hell do you think you are accomplishing? It's not a Wiimote."
