I hate console and touch games. They are simplistic and designed for people who don't like 'real' games. Yes, I am a PC gaming snob. Unfortunately, I work on a computer all day and it's very hard to find time to game on the PC since I like to see the sunlight occasionally. I think there a lot of people like me who grew up playing CS, TF2, UT, Quake, WC3, SC who would jump at a good controller that let them play 'real' games on the couch after being at a desk all day.
Furthermore, Valve is claiming that the controller works well for RTS etc. They demoed it with the newest Civilization to select people. None of us will know until they try it though.
- dmnd 13y agoCiv 5 is not real time strategy, it's turn based, and as such requires almost negligible mechanical skill to play. I could imagine playing Civ on the couch with the Steam Controller - it'd work well. I don't think even Valve expects to bring StarCraft or Dota to the lounge room though - those games are designed around a mouse.
