Keyboard/Joystick/GamePad

Post by johngUK »

Hey all, what do you think is better keyboard, joystick or gamepad?

I just wondered if having something like a gamepad is any better than using a keyboard.

For instance, Wolfenstein 3D supports the Gravis GamePad and joystick. Doom supports the joystick only i think. Duke Nukem can support the joystick and gamepad.

I wanted to know what every one else uses and what they think better.

It will depend of your own preferences.
For myself:
Doom original i play only keyboard.
Doom modded keyboard+mouse (auto_aim is disabled then).
Blood: only keyboard.
Blood2 : keyboard and mouse.
I only use my joystick in flight games(WCx,falcon,f-22,longbow...)

It all depends of your habits, test it out, your preferences may differ complety from mine.
I have a friend who only can play unreal multiplay with his gamepad, i only use keyboard/mouse.
I must say most younger people prefer joystick/gamepad, and they do well with those.

You will have to sort it out yourself............. :)

I'm pretty much a keyboard and mouse guy. Oh, and the original Doom also supports keyboards.
