Motion vs. Stick (and History)

[Chapter Serf]

I know there are other topics similar to this, but I wanted to add another angle to it to satisfy my curiosity in regards to the matter.

In short, did you play other Shooters before Splatoon and which controls for Splatoon do you prefer?

And by play other shooters, I mean you played them fairly regularly. Not the periodic CoD party at your friends house, but actually played and owned Halo or Battlefield or whatever.

And I suppose I should be a little more specific, but Shooters on Consoles, not including PCs here because the controls are just that different.

 

[RespawningJesus]

I come from a background filled with shooters. From gears to halo to cod, I played just about every popular shooter on pc and consoles. And I still prefer motion.

 

[Boidoh]

Does Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. count as a shooter? I mean... you shoot...

I played COD competitively back in the day, and I always used a regular old X-Box 360 controller. Now that I use motion controls, there is no way I am going back. Do you know how tough it is to play Watch Dogs now? I always mess up because my brain is set on the fact that motion controls still work.

I played Team Fortress 2 on PC and Kid Icarus Uprising on 3DS. No analog sticks, yuck.

 

[ShinyTogetic]

I prefer stick controls because motion controls tend to bother me and besides I seem to do fine with stick controls anyways just need to find a way on how to work blasters with them

I've played lots of multiplayer shooters mainly on PC, Counter Strike 1.6, Unreal Tournament 2014, Quake Arena, Team Fortress 2, to name some, if Splatoon didn't have motion controls I probably wouldn't be playing right now, probably because I'm too used to mouse aiming but I can't stand aiming with a stick and motion controlls feel almost as good as a mouse to me

pretty much exactly this
