what is the best way to control doom

Recommended Posts

Keyboard and mouse for optimal turning. I really feel like Doomguy is the one controlling the plasma rifle/whatever when I use a mouse.

I use mouse and... a cat to control Doom.

 

For real, you can use whatever you want. There are a handful of really good speedrunners out there with keyboard only.

 

And TBH, this type of posts without too much thoughts and nutrition can easily lead to *heated* debates :P

I actually use a controller, it works perfect for old FPS games like Doom. There is no "best" way to control Doom, it's a preference. A mouse will always objectively be more accurate, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use what you are personally most experienced with. Use whatever is most comfortable for you.

 

Try @Murdoch's suggestion, it works good for me. I usually just consume however many shrooms it takes to control the game telepathically. This has some drawbacks, like overloading the prefrontal cortex with dopamine, causing the screen in my brain to flip upside down. I compensate by standing on my head, making everything appear to be right side-up again.

 

Here's an old picture of me and my friends playing Doom during our vacation to Canada.

i agree 

the best way to play doom is the way you chose for yourself

I play keyboard/mouse, but I can confirm that the 3DS of all things works like a dream. I've yet to play with a controller proper but I assume it'd work similarly well

You can’t control Doom! If you try, DooM will only end up controlling you!

 

Jks which ever way feels best / is most comfortable for you is the correct answer :-)

Trackball, but you have to use your balls to spin the ball

that is a very enjoyable way to 'play'

You don't, it controls you.

 

Na, whatever works best for you. I myself prefer mouse and kb.
