A small advantage or cheating?
I must admit that at first I didn´t even realize that there are special controllers or other gadgets that improve your succes in a game. Of course you still need to do things yourself but the controller can help you out, something I don´t really consider as fair. But it´s allowed, I don´t hear an open discussion about this and so I guess people either use it a lot or people just don´t really care.
A special controller to improve your succes in games, that´s cheating right? I wish I could say yes, because it certainly feels that way to me. But I have to be honest and say that if it´s allowed then I can´t call it cheating, still I do feel cheated when people seem to have a higher accuracy or just perform better thanks to that. It makes it for people who don´t use anything special, like me, more difficult to win. I´m not saying that I can´t win, it´s just more annoying to see someone win in a lot of 1 vs 1 situations when he clearly got fucked up by me. But I guess that´s another side effect of competitive games, it makes people whine and I´m no exception to that. Sometimes you feel cheated out of a kill or a victory, just because someone beated you with something. Of course if that happens multiple times then you can accept that someone else is better or you can complain about it. It doesn´t really make any difference to be honest, because it won´t stop people using their special controllers or gadgets.
So I either join them or sit and whine? Well that would be a bit harsh to say but I guess that´s what it comes down to, still people that use a special controller aren´t always better than you. Sure they´ll have an advantage but remember that a lot of these people are probably not that good, so a little advantage isn´t going to make them invincible. At the same time it´s a good test for your own skills, beating some cheap ass loser with a special controller when you use nothing of that is of course a good feeling. But then again winning is always a good feeling! It´s really up to you what you want to do, I can tell you that it won´t get you any respect if you use any special controllers or gadgets. So if you want to be the best then try to earn it and not favor it to your side with an advantage. But I guess it makes sense if you want to compete with certain people that you might want to think about using it. Once again you decide what you want to do, I personally hate things like that and I would never use it. I grew up with a shitty NES controller and it made my hands hurt if I played too long, but you know what? I did use that controller and I did make my way through everything those games could throw at me, it gives me a good feeling that I don´t need to use anything special to win. I´m not the best, far from it even, but at least when I do win in a multiplayer match then I can say that it´s all me and not because of some little advantage that I have. I strongly believe that a victory must be earned, I don´t think you´ve earned it when you use a special controller or gadget to win. But don´t let me stop you from buying whatever it is you think you need to win, I guess we all have our own way of gaming. Just don´t be suprised when people accuse you of cheating...
