Fallout 4 PC - Controller or M&K

Post » Sat Nov 28, 2015 12:59 am

What will be your go-to device for playing Fallout 4 on PC? I'll use M&K when modding, but will spend most of my time using my steam controller and steam link box playing on my TV :)

I'm going with controller. Sure, it isn't as precise as a mouse and keyboard, but it is a lot more comfortable and portable.

It's impossible for me to play first person perspective games with a controller, the mouse has become a natural extension of my arm :happy:

Mouse and Keyboard here. The moment shooting is involved, they are my go to instruments for ultimate control and accuracy.

This, right here. I'm completely unable to accurately control first-person-y games with a controller. I've had to skip some (apparently) good games on my consoles because of that.

(This carries over to other games that have similarly-accurate aiming & combat systems. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn when I tried the Uncharted demo years ago, for instance.)

Mouse & keyboard all the way.

M&K. I just cannot use a controller with any degree of accuracy. One moment I'll be staring at my feet, (or the floor in Beth's games) the next I'll by looking at the sky. All the time trying to aim at a super mutant right in front of me. Barn door springs to mind.

The Steam controller does interest me though.

I play with keyboard and mouse only. I just can't get a hang of playing with controllers.

Probably getting it on PS4 but if I do get the PC version eventually (current computer's crap) it'll be mouse and keyboard.

Mouse and Keyboard.

The only thing I like better about controllers is anolog movement, with m&k we're usually limited to sneak, walk, run, sprint. When it comes to aiming, nothing beats a mouse, and when it comes to customized controls nothing beats a keyboard.

I've got the same deal going on. I have an old http://archive.benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews/input_devices/mechanical_keyboards/dell_sk8115_keyboard.jpg that I've had for over ten years now and a few month old http://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4642/4642008_sa.jpg;canvasHeight=500;canvasWidth=500.

Mouse and keyboard. it's just more precise. try picking up all those bottle caps in a dish (or in skyrim coins in a bowl) without picking up the dish while using the controller. you can't do it, i tells ya!

I've never touched a controller in my entire life. So...mouse and keyboard.

I thought PC users were full of crap about the mouse and keyboard being more accurate for years when gaming. Until I actually used a mouse for an fps controlled game...

Wouldn't want anything else now. Though I sometimes miss anologue directional buttons and a nice trigger button.
