Pad or keyboard

[Wrightyuk]

whats games do people prefer the playstation/xbox pads to play with over keyboard and mouse for example Redident evil

 

[Wrightyuk]

I meant which games do you prefer with the pad and which with KB+M

 

[Wrightyuk]

Defo got be pad for driving games for sure

 

[Wrightyuk]

Pretty much just driving games I use the pad for. There are some odd titles that do work better with pad but for the most part it's KBM all the way

I think games like resident evil are defo pad tho

Why? When you have to aim with guns then a good portion of PC players are going to prefer a mouse to do so. I've not played it but a quick look at a gameplay video I can tell I would want to be aiming with a mouse rather than a controller.

Well i always used pad for resi back in the day as they were console games things like fifa and driving as well i prefer cod games fps game for kbm

Something like gears of war, I've flip flopped between mouse and pad. Generally end up with mouse though.

Never played that always hear good things but again that's like a console game ajnt it

its really easy for me
third person: pad
frst person: KB+M

somthing just feels wrong using keyboard/mouse when i can see my character.
same with first person gamepad just feels wrong

Defo agree here couldnt put it better myself but adding fifa and driving to the pad list haha

Something fun to play with a mate. Don't think I'd bother with it single player as much.

Games like diablo are like that i prefer gaming that with mates

Pad for pretty much everything other than football manager

Football manager the game that only requires the space bar

Mouse and keyboard for everything for me.

And I do mean

I hate gamepads. Always have. I bought one to try Dark Souls with it, but ended up giving it to my kids. I thought the reason Havel was kicking my butt might have been because I was disadvantaging myself by not using a controller, so I tried it out, but quickly realised... nope, that's even worse! Turns out I just needed to git gud, which appears to be input-device agnostic

Not only do I find controllers quite difficult to use in terms of accuracy and fine control, but everytime I have tried to get used to using a pad I end up with tendinitis in my left hand after only a couple of hours.

Last game I tried was Persona 4. Got the pad back from my son, played for two hours and my hand hurt for the next two days. I have a bit of hypermobility in my hand joints, so I don't know if I'm just not cut out for using a controller anyway.

It does mean I miss out on the few games that are just really not optimised for M&KB, but these are few and far between. I've beaten multiple NG+ (+++) runs of games taht are supposedly not mouse-friendly like Dark Souls I, II & III, The Surge, Nioh and they've all been fine.

Each to there own man

Prefer kb and mouse. But you have to use what the game is made for though really.

I agree
