PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse
The director of Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, and many more classics has long spoken about his love of video games, stretching back to 1982 when he revealed the instant thrill and ego "massage" that playing games like Donkey Kong and Tempest provided.

Based.
In all seriousness some games work better on controllers. I’ve found it much easier, and significantly less frustrating, to play souls-likes using a controller. It also would have been next to impossible to play the Ascent (twin stick shooter) without one. I used to get all PCMR about only using keyboard and mouse but nowadays I use the best tool for the job.
Oh I played the hell out of the Prepare to Die edition of Dark Souls. Keyboard and mouse was the objectively wrong way to play the game lmao
Haha what an absolute masochist! I’m impressed.
I played through Jedi: Fallen Order, which was my intro into the genre, then tried it for Elden Ring and got hard stuck in the opening area. Still pretty useless at them overall but no longer feel like I’m battling against the control. It’s 100% just a skill issue.
To be fair, I did use a controller, so it wasn't that bad. It even ran way better with the hd mod than the 360 version ever did.
I did get kind of masochistic with it though lol. My last run was a soul level 1 that I think I stopped playing around Anor Londo. If I remember correctly, the archers were rage inducing and I never got back into it. It's probably still my all-time favorite game, jank and all.
Well it's only because from software did a really shit job at porting the game. Elden Ring plays fine with the mouse and keyboard.
For sure. I wasn't even mad it was rushed and just was stoked to have it on pc. I remember a petition going around cause everybody wanted it so bad.
It was a culture shock when I realized how well later games played lol
I played Grand Theft Auto V with both. KB&M on foot, controller for vehicles
Saaaame! Vehicles are so much better with a controller, but aiming suuuuucks with a controller.
pcmr means you have the choice of which works best for the job instead of being stuck with a specific controller or ms+kb
I feel like everything besides shooters and rts is better on controller. I can’t play an fps with a controller though.
My first souls game was Dark Souls 2. Played it with keyboard and mouse and only found out you can lock onto enemies about 100 hours in...
I play rocket league with a keyboard and mouse. Have gotten up to champ in 2v2 and 3v3 ranked.
Also beat ds1 and 2 using keyboard and mouse.
In other words git gud.
