Fuck Yo Mouse

i dont know how anybody does a mage job without windower D:

BLU was the most retarded shit ever. I had to hit 3-4 macros every time I wanted to cast a spell, which was every few seconds on Greater Colibri.

I never have gone back to play PE, but I am overly cautious of your saying it'd have a good keyboard/mouse setup.

It plays almost exactly like an early 2000's PC FPS. It does take some fine tuning though.

[Kiarax]

I'm not sure how you got it controlling that well, since there's only one sensitivity for turning in any direction, so it feels weird as fuck.

[Tempyst]

I'll see if I can dig up my old controller configs

[Kiarax]

It was playable when I tried it, it just felt fucking weird. Since no matter how hard or lightly you push in one direction (on mouse or analogue if you use a controller), it always goes the exact same speed. Really throws you off your aim when you're used to FPS's nowadays.

[Kiarax]

Or I'm just fucking retarded, thinking about it you can probably map the aiming movement to the analogue on the N64 can't you? I guess that would solve the problem, lol.

Yeah that's how you do it, map WASD to the arrow pad/c buttons for moving/strafing, map mouse to analog stick for aiming, left click for Z, right click to one of the trigger buttons for aiming, and then whatever else to what feels right. If I remember right you have to map some modifier to the right click so when you're holding it it keeps the reticule in position instead of trying to reset it to the middle, but you only need that for scoped weapons.

The only real awkwardness is that the reticule shifts from the middle when you look around, unlike a typical PC FPS. Fair enough though, because playing PD with a mouse and keyboard makes it five times easier as it is

I dont understand how people do complex things such as solo RDM with a controller. From what I saw when I played with one (I dont own a PS2 -> USB controller, was playing at a friends house) you had to hold down a shoulder button to bring up the macro pallet akin to holding alt or ctrl and then navigate using the arrow buttons to the right macro. That's got to take a lot more time than simply ALT+#

It takes slightly more time, but you forget in ffxi theres a lot of time where you're waiting on a spell to finish casting. I play with a controller and I have no idea how you play ffxi using the keyboard. Most of the time I've jammed the macro 2-3 times before it can even go off anyways. It's not really an issue moving left to right.

Would you call it daddy while bending over the arm of the couch?

"GoldenEye 007," whether it's aged well or not, introduced a lot of the things people take for granted nowadays (including popularizing zooming sniper rifle viewpoints), so it still deserves respect. It could in fact be the best FPS of all time when you consider how good it was in its day, compared to the competition, and attempt to scale up that quality to modern standards.

Of course, nobody does that because the bar must be constantly raised, so I would not call it the best first-person shooter of all time in 2009.

Oh for sure, I agree whole heartedly that without 007 many things in the FPS genre may not exist, would have changed entirely, or would not be brought about until a later date.

But wheels were also first made of stone before we got to where we are today.

[Shiroikage]

I can't play GoldenEye anymore. It feels too dated for me.

[Colenzo]

Actually, a couple years ago for my friends birthday we went and got a copy of golden eye and bought a bunch of alchohol and had a tournament it was epic.

What kind of noob uses a controller for a PC game?

Just stay on your console, fag.

[Ishido]

mouse = performance
controller = other... stuff?

mouse comes with the added bonus of a keyboard though, and with that a lot more options as far as buttons/etc.

it also means porn is just a few keystrokes away

Enjoy your awesome keyboard controls on shit like DMC4. Quit being a fucking moron.

[#686578]

Keyboard/mouse does suck dick for Action/Adventure games.

PC GAME

Granted DMC4 is on the PC too, but it's a fucking console game.

Reading an entire post is not something you do well, is it?

[Kiarax]

Yep, a game on the PC definitely isn't a PC game.
