Darth Reven Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 some of you probably already know about it but if you don't and you don't like controlers, i found a converter for a keyboard a mouse for the xbox and ps2. It's called the Smart Joy FRAG, found it at lik-sang.com. Heres the link. Smart Joy FRAG
jaguars4ever Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Very cool indeed. Cycling through the KotOR II menus using the R & L shoulder buttons gets old.
mkreku Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I actually own a SmartJoy Frag, but because I've let my girlfriend's little sisters borrow my Playstation 2, I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I just tested it (in GTA: San Andreas) and it seemed to work great. Of course, I never had time to set the buttons right so it might not have been the best of tests.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Plooby Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Hmmm... interesting. Since I played KotOR on my PC and got an Xbox just to play Sith Lords, I did miss many of the quicker controls that you get on the PC. Now that I have played through once (and started Halo), I ma getting used to them.
Kaftan Barlast Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I hate controllers... in fact, I hate everything about consoles. They are nothing but outright devilry aimed at making life sour for us who walk the true path of the Personal Computer!!

chemchok Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, so I love a keyboard and mouse, but it'd be pretty damn stupid to use them with Ninja Gaiden.
Darth Reven Posted January 15, 2005 Author Posted January 15, 2005 Then don't. Just cause you have it dosen't mean you have to use it all the time.
Zoq-Fot-Pik Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Zoq: Hey, this might make these consoles worth getting. Fot: Yeah, we hate controllers for certain types of games. Pik: ...
NeverwinterKnight Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 if the game relies on twitch gaming, then i prefer a joystick/controller. thats why i prefer playing my sports and action games on my xbox. but rpgs i like better on the computer. i just cant "twitch" fast enough on the keyboard. i end up in a panic and start pounding the wrong key.
draakh_kimera Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I liked the older controls better, like for Nintendo. There weren't too many buttons or functions to keep in mind...
DSLuke Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I liked the older controls better, like for Nintendo. There weren't too many buttons or functions to keep in mind... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Only the cross, the start-select and A B buttons. (life was simple back then) :D And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom

J.E. Sawyer Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I think the PS2 controllers are fine and the Xbox s-controllers are, too. twitter tyme
chemchok Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Then don't. Just cause you have it dosen't mean you have to use it all the time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Relax, that wasn't a knock against the converter you mentionned. It was aimed towards Kaftan. And BTW, the old Atari joysticks kicked ***.

mkreku Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I had an old Wico Redball for my Commodore 128 that I still miss tremendously. An old swedish gaming magazine once reviewed the Wico Redball. They gave it the highest score with the motivation, "If there ever was a World War 3, the only thing that would survive would be c0ckroaches and Wico Redballs." Edit: Isn't it insane that I have to use "1337-speek" (almost) to be able to write c0ckroach?! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Oerwinde Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I like keyboard/mouse for PC games, and I like controllers for console games. Games are always better on the system they're designed for. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
lone_jedi_guardian Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 I don't mind the ps2 controller much but dammit! Those Xbox controllers are just way to bulky!
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Thats why they brought out the S. After using the Xbox one for a while the PS2 one feels quite small but I'm quite used to going between all three of them. KOTOR II is a joy to play with a controller , find it hard to imagine with a keyboard. Still prefer mouse for the odd RTS. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

J.E. Sawyer Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 I actually like the Atari 2600 joysticks with the black rubber removed. I liked them so much that I used them with my C=128. twitter tyme
Exitium Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Mouse and keyboard for life, baby. Exitium RPG Codex - the premier avant garde gaming news site. "It is more convenient to follow one's conscience than one's intelligence, for at every failure, conscience finds an excuse and an encouragement in itself. That is why there are so many conscientious and so few intelligent people." - Nietzsche
Musopticon? Posted March 4, 2005 Posted March 4, 2005 Mouse and keyboard for life, baby. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here, I've used them too much to ever be able to move to console controllers. No matter how flexible. Have to admit though, that S-controller for bill-box feels quite right for my hand. Good enough to have endless co-ops of Halo on my friend's 'box. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
