Controller Material?

[Narkenstein3D]

Am I the only one here that thinks that the gunplay in this game is akward to aim with a mouse?

It just feels like I have to boost my sensitivity all the way to even make it feel better-ish. Anyone else agree, or am I going to be ripped apart by the PC Meister Race?

feels good with mouse

Feels great with a mouse. Feels awful with a controller for some reason.

It was meant to be played with a mouse, nothing else. Feels good to me and one of the best fps shooters of it's time. No problerms here.

[Narkenstein3D]

I'm not sure than.

For me it feels like I'm struggling with aiming fast and on the dot at a target (at least on default sensitivity) when they're not close to me, sometimes. It felt better when I put it to max sensitivity but . . . I don't know. Maybe I'm just spoiled by modern controlls.

If it was meant to be played with a mouse, why is it on Xbox 360 and PS3 and has native controller support on PC?

It’s got nothing to do with the age of the game.

It's best played with mouse and keyboard, I tried xbox 360 controller and the right analogue stick sucks.

I have a Roccat Kova mouse, no problems, also played on cheap mice in past, no problem, if you need go into control panel, mouse, and check pointer speeds, it might be too fast/slow.

I don't mind playing some shooters with a controller and I do like the feeling of physically pulling the trigger, but Far Cry 2 doesn't do it for me. This game requires way too much precision and rapid reaction, at least when played on higher difficulties.

because it's a normal multiplatform game with a properly made PC port.

True, which therefore means it was also meant to be played with a controller

By what logic? This is silly.

Apparently by your logic a game being on console and having controller support on PC means it was never once meant to be played with a controller.

That logic is braindead retarded.

I got the answer. You're experiencing the internal "mouse clamp". Negative acceleration. High-dpi mice will suffer a lot from this. You can either tune down your DPI to <2000, or you can remove this clamp by getting technical: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Far_Cry_2#Remove_mouse_speed_clamp

XBOX works fine

go xbox default for pc
both micorsoft products so they interact best

( steam has a standalone to govern controller input for a lot of titles on here, even if the game wasn't "designed" for it, they can overwrite it to some extend )

others might work but it's always going to require an inbetween translation
you really can't go any better then an xbox controller

( this does not include personal prefference obviously :p )


--------------------------
hell i don't even have a say in it
i'm still on my 2008 hardcopy.... what even is controller support ????
sure didn't exist 11 years ago :p



as for being late to op

it's mostly prefference that answers your question
but yeah.... i'll agree on your "higher sensitivity" argument :p
