I'll wage that it was because you played the console version which not only had inferior visuals and controls (Cool Face) but also wasn't fixable with mods, like I did for my PC copy. The base game on both PC and console was a mess and it took patches and user tweaks to really make it shine.
exactly Wink
And yes, I played the console version - this is the console section afterall Very Happy

Sorry, but how does that work? Confused

Stick in a gamepad (360 controller = flawless support in any multiplatform game) -> same experience (visuals aside)?

Sorry Waldo, I hadn't noticed this at first.. my brain automatically corrected the sentence as I read it, because it simply refused to accept that you just said "a lot of multiplatform games PLAY better on consoles and LOOK better on PC"

Once you plug a dual shock or x360 pad anyway, it's the same experience.

You do this + PC on TV and voilĂ  you have your console.

I'm not a fan of doing this because of the money and room it involves (having a PC next to a TV isnt possible for everybody), but it's doable ! And usually you use your PC for other stuff too, not only gaming, and don't want this to be on your big TV (that's why I mention money, I consider having a dedicated gaming PC, and a dedicated desktop PC).

Yup, that's exactly the point. So saying "multiplatform games play better on console" is utterly absurd.

Okay, not to keep dragging this debate on -- but;

A) Every PC gamer I know has a controller of some kind.
3) Every FPS title out there plays better on k/m, same goes with TPS. That's two entire categories spanning thousands of games all playing better with a keyboard and mouse Smile

@sabin1981 : about TPS, that's your opinion Wink (aiming is surely better with a mouse, but can't say for the rest !).

Just like "games play better with a gamepad" is an opinion, right? Aiming is a lot more important to me in a SHOOTER than "creep really slowly with analogue stick" but hey, whatever you say Wink

I'm not sure what you consider a TPS, because some games like Tomb Raider have many TPS parts, but also some platforming parts, which are fine with a gamepad obviously.

i play all multiplats on PC and always use a pad unless it's FPS or RTS. even for TPS i use a pad, aiming is not as accurate, but overall it feels way better to play TPS with a pad than a mouse+kb at least for me.

PC Purist Elitist lol wut

I suggest you take a look in the threads for Shift or pCARS. All gamepads and wheels there. A lot of platform games (Rayman for example) people play with gamepads. I know I do.

And far from all multiplatform games, not even most, play better with a gamepad. Bioshock, Dishonored, DX:HR just to pick 3 big ones. Has nothing to do with being a console game, multiplatform game or PC game - yet everything to do with the type of game.

I installed TR last night and I'm playing with the keyboard; not sure what a gamepad would add at all Razz


This is the problem though and I sincerely hope PS4 will have KB+M support. You can go on about "PC Elitist" BLABLABLA - but the fact is that there's more PC gamers actively using gamepads when appropriate than there are console gamers willing to even just admit (!) that KB+M might just be a superior input method for some games. So PC Elitist my ass. And here's problem #2: you're practically forced to use the 360 pad due to lazy developers, there's a fuckton of games where you need to use all kinds of emulation and hooks to make non-360 pads work.

I would've loved to play TLoU with KB+M. RDR would've been so much better with KB+M. Even if you don't agree - it would've just been nice to have the fucking option. And I really, really hope the PS4 will make this more standard.


That "PC elitist" phrase needs to die quick, because it's starting to annoy me a great deal. You can start using it again when I don't get shot down for using the word "blur" in the console section, even when I negate that word. Until then, pure console gamers are elitist cunts as much as pure PC gamers are.

@Werelds : to each his own, some people prefer pad, some people prefer Keyb+M. I know that even for FPS, I wouldn't use K+M it on a console (even though it's superior for FPS, on a PC, read bellow.

Why ? Simply because I already tried in the past with Unreal Tournament 1 on PS2 and that was awkard : problem is, I was trying it from my couch ( lol wut ), far from my TV, without anything to put the K+M on my lap, thus it was awkward and completely unplayable.

Then, I tried to put them on a small table, in front of my couch ( lol wut again Very Happy), but then I had to break my back to much to reach my K+B, and it was painful : why ? Because usually the couch ( lol wut damn it !) isn't like a chair, and thus you have to lean forward to catch anything in front of you : poor back !

I didn't try to put a desktop and a chair next to my TV, that would have worked for sure but meh... Come on ! At this point I'd rather play the PC version of the game Very Happy

Therefore, the only way I can really see K+M being properly used on a console is if you are planning to play it from a desktop, and plug the console to a PC monitor for example (like sabin or KillerCrocker do).

It's kinda the same issue you have on PC with touch screens : they are useless because the way you need to have your arm to reach the PC monitor is really painful, and isn't like a tablet which is easier. And moving the PC monitor isn't an option !

PS : how do you like TR ? Very Happy

I play games on my couch with KB+Mouse just fine Sad
Haven't done that in a while though.

Personally I prefer mouse and keyboard to game pad on most games that have an option to look around freely (aiming goes without saying). I consider M/KB a superior control scheme in Assassin's Creed, for example. I used a game pad in Batman and Remember Me, but it was more of a tradeoff and not a perfect fit for me. I played the first batman game with a mouse and keyboard and I can't say it was any worse.

Sorry for contributing to this off topic discussion Very Happy

Well no, KB+M will be awkward depending on how you sit in front of your console; in my situation it would work fine. The point is though, to have the option would be nice Wink

And any FPS I'll play on PC anyway; if it's no on PC then it can fuck right off. Part of why I can't stand Killzone (aside from the vaseline smear and shallow everything). RDR I would've played with KB+M had I had the option; purely because there's a great deal of shooting. Everything else makes no difference between KB and gamepad anyway so.

PS : how do you like TR ? Very Happy

Only played up to the part where you have to shoot the poor little deer :'(

Was mainly to see how it would run and how it looks, all of that is dumb intro shit anyway. No gameplay performance issues yet at 2xSSAA with TressFX on, but Sniffty (MinderMast...GET THAT CHANGED ALREADY SNIFY) said it requires patching. My game clearly has AA without vaseline and TressFX was working, so it seems the release I got is already patched or something. I did notice though that cutscenes would inexplicably drop to 40-50 FPS for no apparent reason Neutral
And that "puzzle" with the barrels to get out of the cave had me going since my first instinct was to light that shit up. So naturally I saw the slide, saw the lift and all and figured I'd light that and kaboom. But no option to light the fire, you gotta shove it down first, walk down, let Lara go "OH LOOK THERE'S FUEL IN THOSE BARRELS, IF ONLY...." before you get the option to light it Laughing

I hope that that is just because it's an intro puzzle. The icons are also stupid, just display the key to press instead ffs, because the icons are barely distinguishable. First impression is that the platforming is miles ahead of Uncharted, because you actually manually jump. That said, the jumps early on are all impossible to miss unless you do it on purpose or aren't looking at the screen, so we'll see. The bow mechanic so far is boring, because it's aim -> shoot; no need to really wait until you've fully drawn. I assume that changes later on? I saw that in some videos at least.

Just keep this in mind; any CLIMBING will have grab icons, E on the keyboard, and any FIGHTING will have fist icons, F on the keyboad. Remember those and you won't have any trouble Smile I played TR from start to finish on m/k and it was flawless, not a single issue. None of that snap/autoaim nonsense from an gamepad either Smile

@Werelds : well if you play it with a derpad, you have derpad buttons instead Wink (at least on X360 and PS3, I have derpad buttons, not icons).

Prolly emulating the X360 pad on PC will display X360 buttons instead of fists and what not.

@sabin : the game doesn't have auto aim on consoles.
