Blimey, this is an old thread.

I agree, I found Portal 2 MUCH more challenging, whereas Portal was a walk in the park.Mogzsnet

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Brean24"]People were complaining that they left Northrend completely alone while they changed the rest of Azeroth, now they are complaining that they are revisiting it, Blizzard cant win it seems.-wildflower-

While the other half slap themselves silly over-hyping anything made by Blizzard, EA, Activision, Microsoft, Bioware, Bethesda, etc.

That particular knife cuts both ways.

Being bad with a control method = bad control method. Am I right? That seems to be the logic with everyone. brandontwb

That's all you really need to say.

Trackballs. Strangely enough, I used a trackball (with 3 buttons) when Wolfenstein 3D first came out, and I used to spin that sucker to turn really fast. It was pretty good for FPS games in general. Obviously trackball tech has moved on a lot since then, with higher res, so I'm sure it would be possible to make a controller that uses a trackball for each thumb instead of analog sticks to get faster and much more precise movement.

As for the thing about RTS games...anyone remember the MS Strategic Commander? You could program 72 button presses on that device, and I can tell you it worked very well for playing RTS games. Even used it for playing some single player FPS games (in place of keyboard AND mouse) and it was pretty good - but I wouldn't recommend it for Multiplayer.

So keyboard/mouse isn't necessarily the be-all, end-all solution to gaming peripherals. I do use keyb/mouse for FPS games, but I sometimes use a controller for third person/action titles. :P
