thank you for this analogy, it gave me quite the chuckle.
And, as I've said before, it's not that hate keyboard-mouse completely...just for shooters. The reason is pretty simple: I have shaky hands and trying to shoot shit with a mouse just doesn't really work. I can use controllers fine though since both of my hands are clasped tightly onto the same object and only my thumbs are moving around, for the most part.
So yeah, I might get my ass kicked but I would get my ass kicked twenty times worse if I was using a mouse and keyboard. This, I am certain of.
LTK:
You could try lowering the mouse sensitivity?
Scandanavian War Machine:
but with a gamepad, I can crank the sensitivity all the way up and be just about as fast as a mouse and I'm, you know, actually capable of aiming with it.
seems to me that lowering the sensitivity on a mouse would be way worse of a gimp than using a controller with sensitivity turned up.
McTaggart:
If you've got enough space to move your mouse around (and mouse with your whole arm rather than just your wrist) lower sensitivity really helps you aim precisely. I use a sensitivity which gives me 7" to turn 180 degrees, though I've only got about 12" of space to play with. My ability to put rockets and bullets where I want them got hugely greater after migrating to that from something like 4"/180. Other things like turning off mouse acceleration helps with your consistency a lot too. Mostly it's about not being afraid to throw your mouse around and finding a neat balance between twitching and precision (in the past I've used keybinds that toggle between something like 5"/180 and 12"/180 so that I can have the sensitivity I want when I want it; the settings are there to be changed). I used to shake quite a bit in some games but that goes away as you get confident. I don't know how you'd rocket jump though, I guess you could use scripts for that.
That's not to say you shouldn't use a gamepad if you're more comfortable with that though. I'm really not trying to make you change.
Scandanavian War Machine:
oh, yeah absolutely. If I get it I'll definitely experiment with the mouse and keyboard and see if I can't can't find an optimal setting for me, and maybe get a little more practiced with it.
but i have nightmares (actual nightmares) about playing STALKER and Crysis and fuck who knows how many other games ON EASY where I just couldn't even hang in a firefight against more than one or two dudes. Online against other people would only be worse and I don't think I'm commited enough to put in the time to even become "okay" at it.
