I respect all console players
So just last night, my wireless mouse's battery was running low so I was like "######### it, I'll get the controller out." I played a few killer games with it and was crying on the inside. Console players, you guys all have my massive respect. How do you all deal with this pain on a regular basis?

Just a lot of play time and rebinding the controls. doing 360s is way harder though.

Vigorous finger exercises and rum.

Well for me, I can actually only play with one hand, but I play just as well (I think) as your average survivor, it's not that hard holding r1 and L1 half the game, lol

It’s actually not all that bad, but I have no experience playing DBD on mouse and keyboard.

Eh I just live through the spins and lag and try very hard to not rage quit sometimes
3 -
Years of console playing and not ever using keyboard/mouse. If it's the only way you know then you are used to it.

@Pulsar should chime in on this one, they played lots of killer on both the old Xbox1 and the new Series X.

I think playing with mouse and keyboard is way harder 😭

When I'm playing on console as killer is painful. If I fell down into a hole (it always happens) I'm laughing.

Playing survivor with a Controller is actually very comfortable but killer is different. Aiming with huntress or deathslinger is problematic

It's annoying getting spun sometimes. The one time I miss a frenzy hit I want to die inside

Just dont play trickster on controller 😬 nasty.

I use a Xbox elite controller. Makes a huge difference from your standard controller. I've tried using the standard controller and it's actually horrendous. I don't think I would be playing this game if I only have the standard controller.
Aiming can be a pain, but Deathslinger feels okay cause it's all almost like a FPS and his shots are fast. Huntress, trickster, Pinhead feels a bit more awkward and annoying to play.

I played Nurse 😭

I do although it usually takes me 30 knives for one down lol

I've grown up playing on controller so it's basically second nature to me. Most games aren't really a problem sure it's not as accurate as M&K but it can still work just fine DBD doesn't have any slider and build most of there killers with only M&K in mind. They have also said they have no plans to make it so consoles can use M&K(like pretty much ever game other can).
It's funny when people act like console must have a huge player base even know the game is way more optimized for PC and most of the killers don't control well on controller. You can only do like half the "techs" and half the time auto aim decides to hit that random rock to the lleft.

Thank you :)

It's pretty horrible.

Thanks -- I find myself getting spun a lot more than I'd like, but other than those frustrating moments, I've always been on console -- never owned a gaming PC, and the only games I have played on a PC/laptop were games like Civilization -- ironically, lol -- where precise movements weren't necessary.
I've invested a lot into the game on console, and I'm an old fossil set in their ways, so I just have to adjust. I have a PS5, so the game runs better for me than what I imagine it does on a PS4. I play all killers, but learning Nurse has been an experience, and while I've shown improvement with Huntress, my Trickster play is a-w-f-u-l.

PS5 player here
Sometimes it kills me when I want heal someone under a pallet/try ‘CJ Tech’. Or when disarming a trap from Trapper and accidentally throwing the pallet. Even playing Killer and getting screwed over by auto-aim or getting 360’ed by PC survivors 😭
but other then that, I like playing on console because I also grew up playing with controller just like Gamedozer said. :)

I honestly prefer playing with a controller. I think k&m is really uncomfortable for me tbh.
0 -
Now imagine using a controller but on a last gen console with added freezing, frame drops, stutters and lag. It’s miserable and depressing.
0 -
Playing with controller isn't all that bad or even all that different from M&K, unless you're playing a precision based Killer, then you're going to have a bad time
0 -
Console is seriously not as bad as everyone says it is. It's not like PC has an extreme advantage. I do just fine with controller. Maybe it's because that's what I've played with my whole life and I practiced over 2K hours in DBD with the controller but I don't know I feel people overreact.
0 -
Makes me think of JRM playing on controller and accidentally tbagging the killer instead of dead harding
0 -
Same. But imo what sucks is some actions share the same buttons. I'll accidentally tap a gen when I'm trying to vault and it'll get me killed lol. That and the lag. Omg the lag can get so annoying.
PC looks fun simply because the aiming seems to be easier. Of course that's just my view.

I just cant, I get no enjoyment from him and it just turns frustrating. He will never get played for me, I'll just stick to all the other killers
1 -
I play killers viable on console that's how.
Lack of variety can suck, kinda.
0 -
Thanks @TheGannMan I appreciate that a lot
IDK how I have dealt with it... it could be what I'm used to
Like for me M&K would be a hard thing to get used to... It's all about what you are used to I guess

Controller's really not so bad outside of a few killers (projectile killers - aiming with a stick just can't compare to mouse) and it's waaay easier to get spun when using a controller.
For survivor I actually prefer the controller. I don't want to start a war, but imo analog movement > digital, all day (in DBD, where strafing isn't really ever needed). Button binding is essential, though, as by default the same buttons are bound to multiple commands, which can lead to frustration (and unintentional hilarity).
Like anything else, it's really about being comfortable with it. JRM put out a vid yesterday where he plays with a controller, and it was hilarious.
0 -
For survivor I'm in agreement. Minus a couple binding issues I feel like controller suits survivor better. I like to do slow walks, as far as I knowyou cant do that on PC
1 -
Yes console exclusivity
we can jog as survivor
0 -
Yeah. It's also easier to hug walls/corners when running, imo. I actually bought a nice PC controller just for DBD survivor play.

Console players just gotta deal with the limits to the point where it becomes comfortable even there are better available options out there.

That's had to be for you a really disappointing experience, honestly I wish I can do the 360 spin cause I know that can save me so many times and help a lot my performance but on playstation4 is impossible so I face it knowing I will be always an average player in my case but I still have my lucky moments you know. Trust me I know what you mean

A console user would say the same about mouse and keyboard tbh.
0 -
No, no I would not.

This game really wasn’t designed for controller tbh.

You never miss love if you never had it in the first place 👍
That's me on console and .most others.

I play laid back on a really comfortable couch. I'm just that kind of gamer. I will trade the precision and customization options from K&M for the comfort of couch gaming with a controller without a second thought
0 -
On the flip side, I play on a very uncomfortable couch that's 20 years my senior and is also too small.
I would trade my couch for a semi-comfortable chair in a heartbeat.

I play f1 on console, so steering Oni about is no trouble at all, can even flick round corners. Not tried Nurse or Blight though, they'd be a real test.

I used to play dbd on a nice lazyboy with my feet up dbd for the most part is definitely more casual on console this way

I don't find controller that bad but rather the console optimization.
