Mouse and keyboard, attempted playing a FPS on PlayStation, very difficult for me.

Motion is by far the most enjoyable.

Head/eye tracking is the fastest and most accurate.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Multiplayer - mouse only
Singleplayer - pointer (Wii/PSMove)



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I prefer my analog sticks and I play the way that normal, sane people play (non-inverted y-axis) :P



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Duel analog controller. If I'm felling randy, the ColecoVision steering wheel.

Headtracking. Fast, very precise, almost felt like cheating in RE7 lining up headshot after headshot.
Second favorite Move/Aim. Just as fast, just a little less precision due to drift.
Third favorite Mouse aim, good old reliable but you need to find that balance between precision and speed.

Least favorite, analogue sticks. I got used to it, took a while. The only method that still relies on auto aim. When you're doing fine adjustments by strafing I would not call it a good aiming method by any measure.
Actually analogue sticks are tied with track pad for worst. My laptop's track pad sucks.

It doesn't have to...

I've been playing GTA4 100% in free aim mode. Don't need no auto aim!

I could hardly get through it with the default settings on ps3, which I assume includes aim assist. The bank heist was pretty frustrating with the DS3. With headtracking and aim I don't need any cross hairs or other aids either, it feels very liberating.
