Tribes Ascend with a touch pad. I did Kill more of them then they did of me. Average about two kills over my deaths with a touch pad.
I have beaten RTS games with touch pad. Fast paced and otherwise. I have proven myself and can claim as such. :)


RTS games are irrelevant. RTS games require speed, yes, but not precision.

In a game like Quake, being one pixel off of your target could mean the difference between winning the match and dying a lonely death.

You seemed to disregard Tribes? Which is a fast paced FPS and accuracy does matter.

Fast running speeds =/= fast paced game

I'm talking entire lives spent within seconds, where if you miss your target once you're a dead man walking.

To be perfectly honest I didnt think you would take my word for it at it turns into a "They said they said", but What matters is players prefer different devices and can do well with what they love no matter the price or function of the devices.

That doesn't make Tribes a slow shooter.

When Tribes had a competitive scene and it wasn't dead, you were dead if you missed a shot, unless you used some exploits on certain maps that allowed you to zip around at upwards of 800kmph and be virtually invincible.

Hell, when the shocklance was introduced to Ascend, this was emphasized.

Tribes plays and handles differently from any game I've ever experienced, and to disregard it simply because it isn't the original Counter Strike is silly.

Logitech sensors are overrated, and the design of their mice suck ass. They have nothing for people who don't use a palm grip, and even then a number of features on their mice are uncomfortable for palm grip users.

Fucking R.A.T. 7 or Steelseries Sensei bitches.

I've never played the original CS, but if it's anything like CSGO then it's just too slow for m.e

Hello fellow gamers!

As some of you might have heard, theres this new game out there called Five Nights at Freddy's.

I have decided to be an activist and try get Scott Cawthon to port the game to the only console with a gamepad, the Wii U. So if you want to help, just sign here.

Thank you for reading this.

Well, I saw some people thinking about if this could be on the Wii U (being that the in game security camera controller is a touch pad) and even a Gamefaqs form thinking about hypothetical controls for a Wii U port.

So, I thought why not try to start a petition to try to get it ported?

The Wii U seems to get a decent number of indie games. The Wii U made up 23% Shovel Knight sales.

So why not port a game where you use a tablet of some sort to control the CC cameras on a system that uses a tablet?

I only went on change.org once. That was to try and get YouTube to remove G+.

And I won't do it because I don't care. Not a fan of horror games, and the only thing I'll ever play on a Nintendo device ever again is probably SSB, Pokemon, and maybe Zelda because I love it.
