I used to think that but the implementation of gyro aiming on this port is just flawless, I can rocket jump all night on Switch. You can have fun playing against PC players, at least on platforms supporting gyro.
Edit: Also I have very fond memories of Q2 MP but at this point just bring Q3 altogether!
I agree Q3 did a good job. But Q2 has some extra tricks like double jump on boxes.
The Edge level is something special.
As someone who is winning matches regularly against PC players on Switch in handheld and on Xbox I disagree. Once I got used to the controller I can easily hang with most PC folks.
It's really , reall FAR on par with keyboard & mouse.
I'm a big switch fan, and gyro aim is king when it comes to consoles.
But if we look at on how accurate something is for amining, mouse wins still by far.
It's like this : mouse >>>>>>>>>> Gryo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Analog sticks only >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dpad
I'm leaving touchscreen out of the list for now. Maybe steamdeck will be closer to mouse with there trackpad. (Maybe)
About winning to Pc players, yes that could be the case when their are casual players.
But playing with hardcore players using a railgun (q2, q3) which needs to be accurate as possible, you don't have change imo.
Again it's the best implementation for consoles for sure, but it does not replace a mouse.
