I tried this with M+KB and found zero joy. Maybe even negative joy. Looks great, but either the perspective messes with me, or more likely the KB + M. I really need to keep trying to embrace the controller, but I hatesssss it.
The original was one of the few games where I had to use a 3rd party app to remap everything to where it was playable. This was during my stubborn "not using a controller with a pc game" phase.
Yep. I've been in that phase since...forever. I just need to somehow get out of it. I tried so many games on a PS4 and Xbox though, and it just never felt natural to me. I think I'm just too ingrained in KB+M, which if you think about it, is a REALLY weird control...tool for a game. It's quite literally something that was kind of pigeonholed in because it was there, the specific circumstances of how productivity PC and games, etc grew up together.
You build the perfect gaming system from the ground up, and no one would think "hey, let's just use the h/w inputs we've been using for ages on a desktop PC!!"
I am aware of that, yet still I resist. It just feels so unnatural to me for whatever reason. I wish I could figure it out (is it because it's slow in comparison, or maybe too fast? Movement axes are wider? etc..), because I would love to play some games that are obviously "best with controller".
Notable exceptions: any racing game, and pinball games (probably some others, but I play the hell out of both of those on consoles, and they are hellaciously fun).
