I'm not starting an argument about this...well I kind of am I suppose actually lol. But let me be clear I respect ppl who can game that way first at least.
I'll never understand how they think its the definitive more precise way to play though...especially a KB, they have obviously never seen the code for KB controls, or taken into account the diagonal directions that are 'usually' missing or awkward at the least.
My only issue is movement with KB, it can never be as precise as analog, as a benefit though I also realize KB users have an array of extra mappings (which are usually cheap combinations for ease of play), but even doing a gamepad calibration you can easily see that a KB could never move as accurately without using half the keys
In contrast a mouse seems more precise but thats dependent on the games code and the calibration or game settings really and its still not really as dead on as you could be with a gamepad, neither as dead on as you could be if they made a good gun for PC heh.
They like the multifunction buttons is my opinion, which I get...but all that HB is more accurate crap is a load of shit, its really more than most games only allow 4 directions and it makes it 'seem' more accurate because you can't hit 2 at once.
Sorry just ranting from a programmers point of view who can't play on either to save my life.
But kb AND mouse code are a fucking nightmare at the lower levels, something a joystick actually isn't because thats its principle purpose, not clicking on folders in the OS or typing documents lol.
Older games I understood since it was the 'way' it was done. Sadly still is half the time because devs and even companies suck at life...but these days it just makes no sense. The mouse maybe, the KB is fucking useless as hell and old dirty code.
ouch...
