Do you find playing on console hard?

You know, with a controller.


I'm a pc gaymer all my life, I've never owned a console thus never actually needed a controller. Just recently I got one to play rocket league and it got me thinking, in a game like dbd where your movement really matters especially when looping and juking, is it hard to play as survivor or hit hatchets as a huntress or generally is it hard to control your character? It would be a nightmare for me so I want answers from people that already play on consoles.


Weird question.

    Well I've never played dbd on PC so it's hard to compare. From what I've seen of PC players though, they can move much easier and more precisely then console. So I'd say yes it's probably harder.

    On PS4 I don’t have much trouble but I play a dbd copy on Roblox and I could barely look behind me!(it had the same controls as pc dbd) I find pc really hard to play with.

    Since I own both PC and xbox it really depends as a survivor it can be easier to juke killers because of the sensitivity differences aswell as frame rate drops but those are very minor things and console players adapted so it isn't noticeable at all.

    Biggest issue on console for me is that Nurse and Huntress are much harder to play than on PC, which is a problem considering that they are 2 of the best killers on PC.

    I find trying to solo queue as survivor hard.

    Gameplay and mechanics come natural to PS4 players like myself.

    Absolutely. Controllers sensitivity doesnt go high enough. 360's are stupidly annoying on console. Survivors can turn char. Model faster than killer can rotate camera.

    Yes, because obviously a controller doesn’t have anywhere near the precision as mouse and keyboard does, and right now the console version has a cap on how high your sensitivity can go, so it is really hard to do a quick snap around hit after, say, a Nurse blink. Beyond that though I don’t have too many problems with console.

    Framerate too.

    My God, framerate drops to 10fps with Nurse.

    Its much easier to be juked as killer and lose the survivors since you cant just snap around like on PC.

    Playing survivors is no problem. fine.

    But the killer is suffering.

    That's why console survivors can't find the game.

    Devs should increase the sensitivity of the controller.

    Consoles have a higher skill cap than PC for sure. Low sensitivity , frame drops which have been reduced those past update make it difficult. survivors is way more easy while killers suffer.

    Léry's and Rotten Fields are a nightmare on console, but I still manage to get a 3k or a 4k.

    If you want to get good with nurse on console, like the professional pc dbd players you have to be very dedicated to her. PC much easer.

    Console is easier with movement. Now.. That being said, Struggling with the Entity on 2nd Hook IS WAAAAAY Better on PC.


    I had to hook up a Keyboard to my console and SMASH that Space Bar because the A button was killing me and felt unnatural...


    But since my Keyboard got broken (Accidentally spilled water... ;-;)


    I have to button Mash "A" XD

    @NMCKE congrats i need a lot of practice but never get those maps. i'm great but those maps i don't understand how we can even kill one due to lack of visibility.
