"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks."

Saying a keyboard is superior to a controller because of "more buttons" is definitely an opinion and not a fact. That is all.

*tiphat*


Agreed. There are times when a keyboard is advantageous, and times when it is not, just like everything else. That said, I partially agree with Vlad that they could have stood to allow you to bind signs to more convenient hotkeys. Minor quibble, though.


I obviously gave off the wrong idea here. I was talking SOLELY about action RPGs (true for tactical too though). A control scheme is better worse given how much is gained/lost, and objectgively you lose a shitton of functionality (objectively measured) in RPGs when you go from a keyboard to a controller, and barely gain some comfort (ironically, a subjective measure). Objectively, keyboards are better at controlling RPGs and I laugh at anyone who can't get that through their heads.

I had a rant someplace in the PC Forum about what a piece of shit keyboards were for fighting games and platformers. Again objectively, you lose a lot of ability for accurate movements in both game types if you use a keyboard instead of a controller, and only gain more keys, which are not needed. Objectively, controllers are better at platformers and fighting games and I laugh at anyone who can't get that as well through their heads.

There are so many more examples. Race wheels are objectively better due to the finer control they give you for racing games. Arcade sticks are objectively better to the finer control you get over the game in fighting games. Mouse is objectively better than anlog sticks for shooters due to the fact transition times can be brought down to near 0. Sticks are objectively better than keys for anyting that requires precise movements in a 3d evironment. etc. etc. etc.

Each control scheme is better at some things, and worse at others, OBJECTIVELY. I am honest to god tired people who can't comprehend that and then try to defend their choices by laughably pushing off facts as opinions.
