What about games that involve a gun?

People argue that aim assist is overturned in Apex Legends. Whether theyre right or just salty that they died is another thing

Arcade stick is the best input method. Especially for turn based RPGs, where speed matters most.

It's so weird seeing the sheer number of posts on GameFAQs/Reddit/etc where people struggle with the switch from controller to KB+M

like, keyboard is the easiest control scheme ever >_>

Love listening to mouse and keyboard players bitch about aim assist, as though they dont have any tangible advantages over controller players.

It depends. If you were to pair a keyboard player against a controller player in a game like Overwatch where there is 0 turn rate, the keyboard player will be at a significant advantage because of strafing and being able to instantly change direction.

That being said, 0% turn rate is awful game design

Not in a shooter, unless there's aim assist.
With aim assist in certain games, controller actually has an advantage, disgusting as that is.

Maybe in multiplayer, but sluggish controls in single player stuff is a cancer that needs to die

Unless those games give aim bots to controller users, I do not believe you.

Gameplay should be fast paced, but you shouldn't be able to change direction instantly, especially in an FPS. It's unrealistic

Being able to aim totally accurately without using sights is also unrealistic, yet every single FPS that's worth playing lets you do so.

Idk what you mean because a lot of current FPS have shaky accuracy when spraying and much better accuracy when aiming

That's kinda funny because I remember the same complaint happening in Titanfall 2. The aim assist got nerfed there even on the PC version iirc.

Why do people do this?
I also, almost exclusively, play on PC with a controller. My PC is connected to my TV. So while I do have a wireless mouse and keyboard, they're on a small table, which is not ergonomic whatsoever. So a controller is just so much more convenient (and it's what I'm used to). If I play a shooter, it's almost always a single player one, so it's not like I'm at a "disadvantage" against AI.

So I will ask you this, why does it matter?
