Games that don't work well with a keyboard

[danielrbischoff]

I think platformers are kind of a bitch to control with the M+WASD. Is it just me or can you never line up the jump just right?

Obviously first person games are way better with a mouse and keyboard but there have gotta be some genres that just function better with a pad. What games do you play with a pad over a keyboard?

Any console ports to PC if you ask me remember the Mouse wheel hotkeys in Oblivion? There are like 12 buttons to hotkey a command above the letters on your keyboard but nope! You only need 8 hotkeys buttons because your arrow keys on a 360 controller can only register 8 commands.

The worst offender to me is Metal gear solid 2. Not only is the default configuration the numkey pad to move and the I, O, J, K buttons to action/attack, you also had to hold down control to aim and shift to first person view. Good luck trying to take the picture of that metal gear ray without growing a third arm, gang!

The Final Fantasy VII port is pretty fucking terrible too.

Diving games and flight sims are horrible with a keyboard. Oddly enough, GTA:SA worked great with with the M+WSAD setup.

I have a xbox controller for my pc. I find I have better control in multiplayer games with the mouse and keyboard but in single play games I like to just sit back and use a controller. but before I got it I remember one recent game that was just terrible with a mouse and keyboard.


Dungeon Siege 3.

Action games, like assasins creed. I cannot stand 3 person over shoulder on the computer.

Dark Souls

Which makes sense, but still, you need a gamepad.

Keyboard gaming is the reason I never got into MMORPG's. It just looks overwhelming.

I can't really picture any console game on a keyboard. Even Super Mario Bros 3 feels uncomfortable.

Yeah, there's alot of mouse clicking. But I can't play a game unless I have a firm grasp of the controls and to do anything else it was either F5 or shift and Q or whatever the hell.
