Who the fuck cares? My stat was fifty-something on a PS3 controller. Anyone who thinks it's shameful can go shit themselves. Are their readers some unironical PC masterracists or what?
I thought using a controller was so normal and uncontroversial that no one would even think to say that as a joke. "As a living room gamer, I'd like apologize for gaming on a chair instead of the couch. I'm so sorry."
Yeah as someone who has a wrist injury that makes chronic gaming with kbm very difficult, the attitude around this stat from PCGamer is kinda shitty.
Like, some games are far better on controller. Dark Souls is the first that comes to mind, but I honestly can't see myself playing any melee based action game with a mouse and keyboard, regardless of my injury.
Realistically, the main advantages of kbm over controller tend to be hotkeys and aiming. Aiming can be overcome with gyro, which I use very frequnetly. Hotkeys is harder to overcome, but if you have spare buttons on your controller, steam input can at least make hotkeys something you can customize without much issue.
Yeah, some games are just worse with mouse and keyboard. I bought mad max this year, and I'm not going to use keyboard when half of that game is driving. And even when that isn't the case, I'm not hauling over the keyboard and mouse when streaming the game to the tv. Right tool for the right job. I can't understand how someone has a problem with this.
For me, its an easy solution. Is the game require fps / tps style of aiming? No? Is it mostlyclicking and dragging items? No? Then the choice is controller. Yes to any of my quistions? Then its, kbm. Easy squeeze.
