Since there is no sensitivity in keyboards, is it still fun to play new vegas

with controllers, you can control how fast u wanna go. with keyboards, you cant even walk in most games. is fallout new vegas good with the keyboard. and if you control a 360 control to a pc, do you get sensitivity... Can you control how fast you wanna run or how slow

so is it like this.... you have to hold a button to walk or you press a button to toggle on or off walk

i know that, on almost all pc games, when you press w, your character runs, you have to usually hold down another button to make the person walk. because the keyboard has no sensitivity. sensitivity is important in fallout, thats why i was asking

There's a walk/run toggle, yes.

No you cannont, the developers didnt have enough time nor money to enable a switch that allows one to walk. It was rumored that they where going to but in walk/run in a upcoming patch, but scraped it because they believed money wasted.

I don't understand how sensitivity is key in a game like Fallout....

When you sneak you can either sneak-walk or sneak-run, and it affects stealth somewhat. :P

I thought that too :shock: i was like "did i type that?" Because i never say that ports lack controls because of money, i always say that they dont bother with em because they can get away without bothering much with the pc version.

Gotta change my avatar :P

Anyway, you really cant press shift to walk in new vegas?

You do not need sensitivity in New Vegas, at all.

Console players might be under the impression that they do.

Now I don't know why they should be under this impression, maybe its to make up for all the bad things, that comes with a console?

Well if sensitivity can make the console players happy, I say keep it in all thegames that dont really need it, I mean- we need happy console gamers:)

Maybe they should implement a small "Pirate Flag" popping out of the controller, when a console player dies, then they have another "special thing" that PC gamers don't have..

TC...let me tell you, a couple of years ago I thought exactly like you.

Somehow I couldn't accept a keyboard as a gaming device ("This is for typing .lol" I thought.)

I was also worried about the lack of sensitivity when using a keyboard. In my mind it was inferior.

It took me about 2 months to get completely comfortable with using a mouse and keyboard however.

Now, after nearly 3 years of PC gaming I am so glad that I stuck with it.

I can safely say without question that using the WSAD keys is vastly superior to a left stick.

Sure, the sensitivity is gone with that of a gamepad, but I've realised that it was never really needed in the first place. With a keyboard you can quickly tap tap on the keys to add precision however, and I much prefer this. Also, because each finger is on it's own individual key, it is actually faster to make a move rather than have to push a thumbstick in the direction you want. It's also more comfortable. Combined with a mouse it makes a game where quick reflexes and precision are vastly easier then the clumsy control of a gamepad.

OMG...dude!!!!!Ur from this planet or what?

Ofc you can control how fast ur walking in Fallout NV(PC)...u have the Caps key(toggle) if you want to run or walk...and Shift key if you want to switch from walking to running(or vice versa) on the fly...

K/M does not support vibration to detect hit on impact, is vegas still fun to play on pc? Cause vibration to detect hit on impact is crucial.

You wanna know why I became a PC gamer some 10-12 years ago? It didn't have anything (ANYTHING) to do with the games selection thats for sure... Ok, ok, Counter-Strike WAS rapidly becoming my #1 played game in spite of having NES, SNES, N64, and PS I & II consoles, HOWEVER...! XBox started taking over the console market. I got one to eventually (This was when PC gaming really WAS dieing. There was no steam, or other Digitial Distribution method, and retail stores practically ABANDONED PC Gaming evvveryyywhere in the US). Well, These new gen consoles abandoned my DPAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember Gran Turismo 3 for PS 2? You could use Analog or DPAD, I always loved DPAD over analog in every way. And the DPAD was PRESSURE SENSITIVE... Nowadays I don't think they even make pressure sensitive DPADs, let alone give you the choice to use them the way you want (to move around) in button maps. I think Gran Turismo 4 (Which was also on PS 2 just like Gran Turismo 3) forced you to use the analog... or they removed use of the pressure sensitive buttons for some obscure reason. That was the day not only my favorite racing brand died to me, but also the console. I began saving for my first gaming devoted rig then. :)

The 12" woofer under my desk detects hits very well... Sometimes even the neighbors think they are getting hit!
