Personally I'm very excited for this. Since RO2 is much less about twitch gaming, if I can be even 50% as effective with the Steam controller, i'd be very pleased.
I've only ever used m&k, except once trying Skyrim and RO2 with an xbox controller. Although I was much worse in RO2 with the controller (obviously), I still loved the feel of it (especially for tanks and rumble effects) and found myself playing differently and adapting to the limitations of the controller. I noticed that I used the cover system much more and used blind firing (to 0 effect of course
), but it just showed that it's natural to adapt.
After about an hour of playing I had many less kills than usual (but since I only play Russians, I guess my KDR was more historically accurate, so there's that
), but the immersion was fantastic, mainly because I felt much more vulnerable to everything. If someone would shoot at me, I would panic, scurry to cover and duck, and then panic some more, before finally trying to collect my thoughts and discern where the fire was coming from. It's a humbling feeling, and one that I have great respect for.
IMO there's nothing wrong with console gaming - it's more casual, yes, but I find I'm less interested in the end result and stats and find myself simply enjoying myself more! I could actually sit back in my chair and relax. Maybe I have been playing RO2 wrong up until now, idk, but it's nice for a change to take out the competitive aspect and give in to the great immersion RO2 has to offer.
So will the Steam Controller offer the same precision as a m&k? Doubtfully, but at least we have the option to use both, and there's no harm in that, is there?
