Top 20 games played on Steam Deck in the past month, sorted by playtime.
I really want to enjoy games like Fallout or GTA on the Deck but compared to mouse/keyboard it's just really bad. I cannot understand how so many people like to play games like CoD or Battlefield on consoles.
I usually use gamepad controls and try and shoehorn gyro as mouse input. Doesn't always work but when it does it's really decent for FPS all things considered.
Keyboard and mouse just feels like work. Give me a controller for FPSes any day of the week.
I hope you like looking at ceilings and floors a lot
I don't play CoD, I play Halo without cross play. Nothing beats the feel of a controller.
If you think precision in aim is a bad thing, sure.
I can always tell when a user is on a controller.
I don't play against keyboards generally. But yeah precision in aiming is a bad thing if I have to slap a whopping keyboard on my lap when I'm shooting people on my sofa.
I'd prefer to be on the couch instead of at the desk, too. But FPS with controller is just worlds below mouse and keyboard.
I think people are spoiled. I grew up with Goldeneye on the N64. Modern FPS controls really aren't that bad
That wasn't an easy game. But it didn't require the accuracy today's competitive FPS shooters do. Even Duke Nukem 3D was pretty cool back then. Was super easy to hit your targets though.
I just had this horrific dream where my mouse input was functioning like a controller. I think it was PTSD from the days of aiming more with the characters movement than the joysticks.
Still dominated though. Headshots ftw
