I'm a PC gamer that is perfectly fine playing a game with a controller if it feels better. I believe I played the Arkham games vis controller rather than mouse, for example. Many of us are versatile. |
It's nonsense that kids nowadays are more 'tech savvy' and thus into PC. When I grew up we were very tech savvy, soldering together our own sound cards for 286 / 386 PC and also a stereo adapter for Commodore 64. (It just separated the low and high sounds between left and right, a gimmick) Fact was, consoles were much more like PCs with MSX, C64, Amiga 500.
When I got in my late teens I got a Play Station for convenience and racing games. It just works, and that's still true today. Want hassle free gaming, get a console. Want to mod and tinker with games, get a PC. I play (and debug) FS2020 on my gaming laptop where I also prefer to play point and click games (like The Big Con currently playing) and enjoy hassle free gaming on console, currently on PS5 (currently playing Ghost of Tsushima and Tlou2). God of War is a game I would rather play on console. HDR just works, all the settings have already been optimized, don't want to mod it.
It's great to expand the audience bringing more games to PC (And vice versa). But you can always tell where the roots of a game are by the UI. So I stick to playing stuff that works better with KB+mouse (+flight stick +add ons) on my gaming laptop and the rest on consoles. I can't imagine playing FS2020 on Series X, just not having little navmap running alongside kills it. (plus I can play the big con during cruise with alt+tab, running two games at the same time works fine). And I can't imagine getting the same experience out of God of War on my laptop. (Unless I connect it to my TV, get it all fine tuned to run at even pace without Judder, use a controller, get HDR and sound sorted out, and Windows to stay quiet while playing, ergo simply easier to play on console)
I hope it leads to better dualsense support on PC than DS4 got.
Getting close to Schiphol. Had to google the ILS frequency for Runway 27, inputted it into the on board flight computer (A320) with keyboard and mouse, so much easier than with a controller. Very cloudy approach, low visibility, good to have ILS! Amsterdam right now
