after about an hour of Rise Of The Tomb Raider it occurred to me that I hadn't even considered playing with a controller. What's happening to me?

Dunno. I tend to prefer a controller for third person games, even on PC. I played Rise of the Tomb Raider on XBox One though. :lol:

I think it just depends on the game for me. But for the most part, any 3D game seems to be a keyboard and mouse preference lately. Don't know.


Unrelated: I just realized that the Overwatch beta starts TODAY for those that pre-ordered. So damn. Now I've got two new games vying for my attention... three if you can't Banner Saga 2. Damn.

Yes, noise. Let the hate flow through you. Feel the power of the Dark Side.

He's lost!

I hate 3rd person on mouse/keyboard. Seriously feels completely funked up, like I'm battling to control the character like a string puppet from way behind in the distance.

Early third person games were kinda bad about how they handled mouse integration, but modern stuff I feel does it well. But I'm also the type who has no problem with tank controls, so I might just be weird.

It does depend a lot on what it was designed around too. Like, for that game, I would be using an Xbox controller either way. Same with other action-oriented things like the Lords of Shadow games. RPGs/MMOs though, I've stuck with keyboard and mouse (or keyboard only for FFXI).

Just as I hoped and feared, Overwatch is a lot of fun.
