New to the game, is it OK if I use a controller? (lemmy.world)

Hey guys, new to the game (just bought it today! looks fun).

I know it's probably sub-optimal and that aiming precision isn't gonna be the same, but I'm wondering if I risk getting flamed or something if I use a controller instead of kb + mouse.

The reason is that I'm not used to playing shooters on a keyboard and the controller just feels so much more comfortable to me.

Thank you <3

I'm one of few who dislikes k&m pc gaming. Controller all the way! You'll have no problems ay all. Rock and stone!

There are dozens of us lol. I'll take a controller and a recliner over k&m any day.

Play how you want. I may groan internally if you don't spam ping mushrooms or gold.

Just played a couple non-solo missions (I was too scared to play with others at first, since I had no idea what I was doing) and I'm having a blast. Playing with randos is so much better, mostly for the rock and stone spam ngl. But yea I'm spamming ping ty for the advice lol

I can't believe I slept on this gem for so long!

Play how you like, my friend.

I actually use both. I'm on a Steam Deck and prefer being docked and using a mouse and keyboard for shooters, but... I did learn the gyro controller for when I'm handheld, and it's not too bad! The game doesn't have a built in shooting range, but Haz 1 (the lowest difficulty) served that purpose for me pretty well when learning the controller aiming.

Have fun, and rock and stone!

Why not of it's more comfortable for you? The game and most of the players I encountered are chill af. Just relax and enjoy the game!

I never tested it since i am a PC player for my whole life. But if you feel more comfortable that way: go ahead. This game is about having fun, not about being the most skilled dwarf in the Galaxy.

Engie with a Fat Boy doesn't require you to be accurate.

Just saying.😉

Might as well bring a wide-aperture LOK1, swarmer grenades, and gemini turrets so you don't even have to bother with using the aim-stick at all. You can just you one hand to shoot, and the other hand to eat sandwiches.

It will be entirely fine. DRG offers dificultys for everyone from Haz 1 to 5 , even beyond that with mods in both directions. and 99% of the DRG community is super Nice so dont worry about that use the server browser and just evade the few Elitist which limit their Lobby to certain levels join the ones with chill names which are most.
