PC Gaming - controller issues
Cordova, TN; August 23, in the year of our Lord 2013
- - Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the
family friendly video games is analyzing controller issues on
the Personal Computer. For decades console gamers and PC gamers
have debated which control scheme is the best. It comes down to
personal preference and lifestyle choice in my book. Some
families enjoy a keyboard and a mouse. Other families enjoy the
controller. The Wii brought motion controls to the table. Kinect
turned your entire body into the controller. So how does the
mouse and keyboard stack up to motion controls? What about your
entire body as the controller?
I purchased a console like controller for the Personal Computer.
It does not have the same look and feel as a controller on the
home consoles. With one exception – the OUYA. The PC controller
I purchased is way better than the OUYA controller. The problem
with the console like controller on the PC is the games. Not
every game accepts this mainstream controller. Not every game
will work with it. Which makes the purchase meaningless and
forces me to use the keyboard and mouse control scheme. Which is
a failure for me. I understand it takes extra effort to program
multiple control schemes on a PC game.
On a home console developers only need to program for one or two
types of control schemes. Which makes it easier for the
developers when it comes to creating video games. It also makes
it easier for us gamers. We have one uniform control scheme we
are accustom to. I do not need to find some patch so a
controller works. I do not need to worry about the controller
never working with a game. Instead it just flows. I know long
time PC gamers love WSAD. It is just not my thing. I need a
controller, and games that will work with it.
