    1. @scribble For a game like SMB a keyboard can be just as good as a controller.

      1. @redenchilada For me, I can't play certain games with a keyboard, platformers and driving games mostly. Others, keyboard and mouse is fine or superior.

        2. @scribble I s'pose it's all in what you get used to, then. I can jump between the two easily for most games, since I consider myself to have a healthy balance of PC and console gaming.

          1. @redenchilada Likewise, I just think a controller is better for some games, while keyboard and mouse is better for others.

              1. @chaosmagic Shooters and strategy games (though I don't really enjoy the latter) are much better with a keyboard and mouse. Also, games focusing on PC are, 99% of the time, better with keyboard (like TrackMania)

                1. @scribble I don't play either xD I play other games where the keyboard would not be good lol

                  1. @chaosmagic Platformers, I'm guessing?

                    Thursday, 12-Jul-12 16:42:08 UTC from web
                    1. @scribble @chaosmagic platformers *DO* work with keyboard generally, some like SMB are just the exception.

                      1. @cavatina Psychonauts is the only exception I can think of.

                        1. @scribble exception to what, platformers being good on keyboard? A lot of them can be, unless their controls are designed terribly.

                          1. @cavatina I haven't played many that work better on keyboard than on controller.

                            Thursday, 12-Jul-12 16:46:13 UTC from web
                            1. @scribble i didnt say they worked better, just they worked just as well. If they are designed well, any game works on keyboard, same applies to gamepad. Some games translate badly to gamepads, like First Person Shooters. Analog sticks are terrible for them, so they implement aim assist.

                              1. @cavatina Aim-assist. Ew.

                              2. @cavatina Meh. It's just personal preference

                                1. @scribble I know it is, but i'm just saying that controls work just as well on both platforms if designed properly. FPS's are adapted to work on consoles, by clever design o.o, any reason you are in a seemingly bad mood?

                                  Thursday, 12-Jul-12 16:50:15 UTC from web
                                  1. @cavatina I can ask you the same question, you seem uninterested to see me.

                                    Thursday, 12-Jul-12 16:50:41 UTC from web
                                    1. @scribble Huh? I'm just not being over-enthusiastic without reason sweetie, cause you strike me as in a bad mood i dont wanna irritate you o.o, also i'm not saying keyboard + mouse > All, i prefer playing with controllers, i was just saying if the developer knows what they are doing, they can make it work on both PC and console <3

                                      1. @cavatina I'm not in a bad mood, just not good either.

                            2. @scribble Even racing games work if the controls are well done, and you are good :3

                              1. @cavatina TrackMania is the only racing game I can think of that won't make any difference if I was playing with keyboard or controller.
