@Unionhawk maybe it was a bug and it was fixed in the patch that changed bounties

TheAce

i really don't get it

fredley

@No.7892142 Neil Stephenson wrote a novel about it.

It's a bit of a beast

Q: CounterStrike: GO - Xbox 360 controller not moving

I enabled the controller in the settings but I am unable to move in-game using the control sticks.

Private Pansy

@fredley I have that book on my table right now. It really is quite intimidating, and I'm not sure if I want to start on it

TheAce

how is this almost closed

5pike

@TheAce Lack of information, I guess.

TheAce

@5pike It's not a complex problrm

fredley

@PrivatePansy It's good, just very long

5pike

@TheAce But it lacks info, like: Is it an official controller, does the controller work with other games, has he installed the right drivers, what has he tried etc...

No. 7892142

@TheAce Man, that comment on the answer is a bit dickish.

Private Pansy

@fredley I got it at a book sale because a) I happen to know Stephenson, and b) since all books were going for a flat price, this was quite literally the most book per dollar I could buy

@TheAce Keyboard + mouse >>>>>>>>>>> controller, for FPS's.

Private Pansy

Which was probably a bad idea in retrospect.

Frank

So wanting to make a controller work is going backwards.

Rapitor

some people like using controller.

it's a matter of preference

No. 7892142

@Frank That's beside the point though. The option is there, so using a controller is fine.

TheAce

@No.7892142 I know it is but, I'm sick of the "just get good and use a mouse" attitude

Frank

12:15 PM

@No.7892142 No, that's the whole point.

Rapitor

@TheAce welcome to PC gaming

No. 7892142

@Frank Sure whatever.

@TheAce Yeah, but the guy tried to answer your question anyway.

Frank

You're hamstringing yourself and giving yourself a massive disadvantage.

fredley

@PrivatePansy Haha

12:17 PM

@No.7892142 he didn't have to to act like he was putting himself out by telling me how to use a controller

No. 7892142

@Frank "hi how do i drive stick" "OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING IDIOT DON'T YOU KNOW AUTOMATIC IS SUPERIOR IN ANY WAY"

Frank

@No.7892142 Great, well done completely missing the point and being a dick in the process.

No. 7892142

@TheAce I don't see anything wrong with his answer, to be honest.

TheAce

@Frank not when I have a brain problem where it's actually harder to use a mouse. my muscles are jacked up basically

No. 7892142

He voiced his opinion that using a controller for such games is silly and recommended not doing it, then went ahead and tried to solve your issue anyway, if you insist in controller usage.

Frank

12:19 PM

@TheAce See, now that is a fantastic reason to be trying to use a ~~mouse~~ controller.

TheAce

@Frank see my point now? I'm not gonna be some pro CS:GO player I just wanna enjoy the game

Wipqozn

Voters, please remember to leave a comment when voting to close as unclear if you believe there is important information the question is lacking. — Wipqozn 52 secs ago

5pike

@Wipqozn I'll remember that.

Wipqozn

@5pike See that you do, OR THERE'LL BE A PAIN TRAIN INCOMING

Frank

@TheAce There's nothing wrong with using a controller. I never said there was. There's just usually no reason to ever do so on PC, not for FPS's, due to the very clear advantages keyboard and mouse give you. So people can't fathom why you'd want to handicap yourself.

You're hamstringing yourself and giving yourself a massive disadvantage.

You definitely did say there's something wrong with using a controller.

Man, I'd think @Frank was a mod with all these corrupt lies he's tossing around!

TheAce

@Frank I get that they don't why "I'd want to" cause they don't know my situation but none of that is a reason to close that question

Frank

@Wipqozn Well done, focusing on only a single part of my statement. :P

@TheAce That context is actually pretty important.

Wipqozn

@Frank Thanks

5pike

@TheAce I doubt (hope) that people VtC just because it's about using a controller.

TheAce

12:25 PM

@Frank hmm maybe I'm hoping to hard for an ideal world

Frank

@TheAce A world is ideal. And then people get involved.

TheAce

@5pike i really think it is tho

@Frank damn that was deep

Wipqozn

@Frank IT's really, really not.

It doesn't matter why he wants to use a controller over KB+M when answering is question.

Frank

@Wipqozn It's not needed in the question, but it would help for those confused as to why someone's even trying to do so.

No. 7892142

I find myself agreeing with @Wipqozn and it's irritating!

Wipqozn

12:27 PM

@Frank Sure, but that doesn't really matter. Definitely doesn't make it unclear.

Frank

@Wipqozn I can easily see where those unclear votes came from.

Wipqozn

@Frank I could see why, too, but lack of context for "why a controller" isn't one of them.

5pike

Well, those unclear voters are wrong, if they VtC just because it's about a controller.

TheAce

@Frank So you're saying I should edit the question and be like"YO my hands/arms are all screwed up so i can't use KB+M"?

Wipqozn

@5pike Yeah. If you're going to VTC for using a controller in an FPS, then you should be using a custom close reason.

Frank

12:29 PM

We should be assuming good faith on the part of the close voters. All we're doing is generating bad blood if we don't.

@TheAce If you want to, sure.

No. 7892142

@TheAce Nope, unnecessary information which doesn't belong into a question.

Wipqozn

@Frank I think the problem is that you're giving the impression (unintentionally?) that the problem with his question, one of them at least, is he didn't say why he was using a controller.

Frank

@5pike gaming.stackexchange.com/review/close/123223

You're one of them!

@Wipqozn Yeah, that was the implication.

No. 7892142

@Frank I think his close vote was because there's too little information..

5pike

@Frank Different reason, mate

Wipqozn

12:31 PM

@TheAce You don't need to do that. You are under no obligation to share information like that with the people of this site.

Frank

And see, there's a good faith reason to use unclear.

No. 7892142

@TheAce Did what that guy suggested work for you by the way?

Frank

All we're really doing here is going in circles about how other people used their unclear close votes.

Wipqozn

Also, I'm going to assume the lack of commenting is due to people using the review queue.

Another reason I dislike that gosh darn queue (cc @GraceNote you monster)
