PC vs Console recoil issues and why it could break the game.

This a constructive feedback and not meant to start a platform war so please go elsewhere if you have nothing constructive to add. So the PC beta has arrived and it is confirmed that the recoil there is SIGNIFICANTLY different than consoles where consoles have a tremendous recoil compared to its PC counterpart. Now I'm not sure what Bungie is thinking but this is actually backwards from what most other developers do with multiplatform games. The PC version needs to have slightly more recoil than the console version because KB&M making aiming trivial with this current set up. Hand cannons which felt pretty balanced on consoles are very strong currently on PC due to the extreme accuracy and lack of recoil. Auto rifles and SMG's are virtual laser beams on PC with almost no discernible recoil at all. Scouts, pulse, sniper, shotguns all have very slight recoil but no where even close to what console had to deal with. The major problem I see with this is that it creates two very different balance situations. Guns on PC can no longer be tuned in the same way as consoles which effectively doubles the amount of work the devs have to do to tune this game with later updates and we already know how notoriously slow bungie is at balancing destiny 1.

    This takes a backseat for PCMRers because AA is the focus target in the scope on this site. Destiny Reddit sub is actually a little bit ahead of you at the moment, recoil videos and threads on PC use are being discussed already and are taking more consideration than AA PCMR trolls on that sub. In fact the Reddit DTG sub has already reached the point of identifying the PCMR trolls and have shown more resistance to them which means issues like this can get more coverage, something bungie.net feedback forums won't catch on til I expect the end of the beta to PC release maybe. If not at all. I mean Reddit DTG isn't the best place for honest opinion, but once again, they show they're ahead of the curve when it comes to identifying problems within the community and is why most Destiny community feedback will be sought from on Reddit as opposed to this site. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/6wxrem/yes_you_do_have_less_recoil_when_using_a_mouse/

    • How do you know they didn't just change recoil for all platforms?
