Its all about history. Consumers buy products and place their faith in products based on the previous product. If your last product was terrible (so much so that you ended its life so early!), you have to really, really go out of your way to convince people that your new product is not going to be a repeat of…

So much this. Sony has been pushing the “Console Quality Portable Handheld” for over a decade with the Vita and PSP. No one cared. (Well, I cared, but the rest of the market seemed to not). Even the idea that you could play your PS4 games on the go with remote-play anywhere (with a decent internet connection),…

The reason why 12 GB isnt enough free space for a 12 GB download is that it has to download the file (which tales 12 GB of space) and using that file, extract/install it into a separate location (which uses another 12 GB or more) and then it deletes the installation download. It needs at least double the space and…

To be clear, I am not trying to tell you that your opinion is wrong, I am trying to tell you that the “commonly known fact” is not a fact at all, just opinion. It has not been proven one way or another, so your opinion that KB/M is better is just as correct as my opinion that a Controller is better. Thankfully…

Still trying as in I haven’t visited Kotaku really since then and just saw my notifications, and decided to reply, sure. No one proved me wrong in November, its a nice revisionists history you have there if you think any such thing happened (show me that post if you believe it happened). Someone agreeing with you,…

I saw one user post one article about one opinion of one company on two games. That hardly constitutes proof of any kind. If you think Googling and finding some blog that agrees with you, means you are right, you have a lot to learn.

Every game I have played ties both of these concepts together under the title of Aim Assist. Its nice that you try and grasp at any tiny detail (Oh he doesn’t know the exact technical difference between the two, that must mean everything he ever says about anything related to it is wrong by default!) to discount my…

Not a single person that has ever made that claim has ever had any proof to back it up. You cannot just make an arbitrary claim that you think is correct, “just because” and then troll anyone that disagrees with your opinion. Just because someone disagrees with your opinion, doesn’t mean that they think absurd…

You sure showed me. With one unsubstantiated report that has nothing to back it up other than the unscientific conclusions of a small group with a couple games.

The majority consensus was that for hundreds of years.

Having gamed on PC and Console since PC’s were text only, and consoles were Atari/NES, I can tell you with certainty that its not collective empirical observation, its a herd belief with nothing to back it up. No different (though less important) than say, millions believing the Earth is flat. Not from any kind of…

You seem to think that Aim Assist is a good thing, it actually makes the game much, much, harder. I don’t understand why developers include this, and why they don’t often have the option to disable it.

I think you miss my point entirely. I am/was originally responding to the claims otherwise. If a person makes a claim (like Keyboard and Mouse trumps Controller) the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. And so far, in the couple of decades I have had this argument online, not a single person has…

Mentioning something that may or may not have happened, and may or may not have had the results you think, isn’t proof. You thinking that a conclusion was formed because of some event that may or may not have occurred a single time, is also not proof. Proof is results gathered from multiple independent resources…

You make this claim, where is the proof to support it? I hear this statement a lot, yet no one can come up with actual proof, actual numbers, in an actual official setting of some kind where it was clear that the input device, not the poor design of the game, or the poor skill of the players, was a deciding factor.

I disagree. I can use the mouse and keyboard quite well. Not only have I been using them for gaming since PC gaming existed, but I play many other games (like RTS games or LoL). Also I don’t play against novices. The people I play against (like when I played CS/CSGO) are pretty good. The point isn’t that “with…

My point in this post is that its not mutually exclusive. If they allowed PC and Console players to play together, they could very easily enable mouse and keyboard support in the Console version of the game, for anyone that feels slighted by the control differences.

The post I am responding to is making unfounded claims. My experience may be anecdotal, but no one that has ever made the claim otherwise has given any real examples that clearly show the difference, they just make unfounded claims and try and pass them off as well known fact.

Every time huh? And you have a lot of samples to back this up? I play on the PC with a controller and do quite well against mouse and keyboard players. With a mouse? Terrible.

Every console game should scrap this, its worse than unhelpful.
