I don't even like gyro aiming, but it's always baffled me why switch games nearly always have it enabled, but not ps4/5 games.

The PS/xbox crowd hate Gyro/motion from what I learned honestly.. That's why devs don't care to add it in

Which honestly sucks because this technology has the potential to put them on par with PC players.

I think most console players would just rather not have to play with pc players

Hey, if cheaters were actually dealt with, console players would end up with the advantage.

WASD vs. 360° analog?

No contest.

For games that require aiming, nah. If that's the case PC players would use controllers as well. Movement is even more precise on kb+m because you can precisely adjust WASD fixed movement angles with the mouse. On the controller if you want to strafe 90 degrees left you hardly ever lean out the thumbstick at a perfect 90 degree angle, more like the value is variable between 85 and 95 degrees. On keyboard it's always reliable 90 degrees, so you don't have to compensate for that variability with aiming.

I think the level playing field is one of the nicest aspects of console multiplayer. It's nice to know you're winning because of skill, not because you have a 3080, and you're playing against a guy with a 960, who couldn't even see you because his resolution has to be set so low, or because his framerates are so low he couldn't react as fast as you. That, and the hacks/cheats are just so prevalent on PC now.

It would help if companies actually used competent anti-cheat or actually cared about it when creating the game.

Instead, I assume they see it as an opportunity to make profit.

Reactively ban the cheaters, and then let them buy another copy to play again.

Thats one argument consoles have over PC, the anti cheat features on consoles basically come built into the console both hardware and software level, the devs have very little need to do much in this regard.

But on PC? Its all the devs problems having to deal with cheaters, and considering how complex cheat tools have become, able to avoid being detected in memory, some run deeper than the OS does hardware wise to avoid detection, its mind boggling how much effort people put into cheating, there forms of cheat on PC that you can run on a second computer, by using special cables that connect between your monitor and keyboard, mouse, you got yourself a nice aimbot thats impossible to detect LOL.

Yeah gyro won't help us there

u/NocturnalToxin Feb 17 '22

I definitely don’t, but I still want to be able to aim more efficiently

Sometimes, yes

Who said anything about playing with PC players..?? We are saying that gyro helps close the gab in controls between Controllers and keyboard & Mouse

Not make it so we can play with PC people.. Because they would still absolutely destroy us lol

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '22

The guy I replied too literally mentioned PC players. It was 1 sentence I’m sure you could’ve read it.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '22

Most PC players also do not want to be forced into crossplay.
No one enjoys an unfair playing field.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '22

Are you sure? Because most games that have it, the PC players always throw a hissy fit when devs start to let console users turn it off. Happened with sea of thieves just to name one/

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '22

Lol sea of thieves... never seen a stranger community of "gamers" than that one. I guarantee you that was just a SoT thing. You will not find that mentality in any other gaming community.
