Sticks are a shitty interface? But it's not hard to aim with sticks. At all. It's harder than aiming with a mouse of course, but that's only because a mouse is more accurate then is actually possible.
For aiming, yeah, they're worse than the input device that was used when the genre was new, specifically the mouse. It is a step down from the original, which to me means it's shitty. People have figured out how to make it work, so it's not like it's unplayable or anything. But anyway, aim assistance is one of the things that helps.
Forgive me for jumping into this conversation without reading anything else in the thread - I lack context. But -
but computers are just the raddest to play games on.
Entirely upgradeable, and mouse and keyboard are the only way to play games.

You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

No you know what? Keyboards do not in fact own. They blow. They are the entire reason there's a giant fucking market for PC game controllers that look exactly like fucking dual shocks. They are shit for anything but typing. That I am forced to use them to enjoy otherwise good games is a video game sin.
A SIN

keyboards are terrible as a game interface device for anything that isn't like

i remember showing up to a LAN party once with my n52 and one of the dudes scoffed through his mouthful of cheetos and was like "pfft, real PC gamers use a mouse and keyboard. using some stupid gadget is for people who suck and can't play right and need help. would you like me to turn on auto-aim for you and then get you a nintendo controller?"
and it's like
see this is why PC gaming is dying

who insist on using shitty input devices because of a superiority complex

When I think of great game controllers I think of interfaces designed for writing documents and doing sums.

ah well
in your faces
the optimum interface for a FPS is a mouse in your right hand
and one of these bad boys on your left:
fuck keyboards
keyboards not gaming devices
no, keyboards own
No money down

Keyboards rock. You, however, smell like poop.

I LOVE THAT SHIT
here you go
I can't hear you over my Dual Analog controllers and Wiimote .
When I think of great game controllers I think of interfaces designed for writing documents and doing sums.
Which I guess are a dwindling race in the FPS market, it turns out
I have no real reason for this but for some reason I believe Pony's wacky stories more readily than I believe some others' here.
i'unno
probably because of how they are told
instead of HEY GUYS THIS ONE TIME I WAS SO FUNNY i just sorta
explain what happened
I don't even care if your stories are fake. They are entertaining as fuck.
i try not to take it as an insult
but it is a little off-putting
Hahaha, that is true. Why'd they even include a speaker in the Wiimote? It sounds like shit.
Also, Pony, how is the n52? It looks neat but I don't know if I would want to shell out that much money for one.
mine got broken sadly but when i did have one it was wonderful
Not giving up my mahogany keyboard, no sir.
Or perhaps this keyboard?

I wouldn't touch that if it conjured blow jobs from thin air.
