How to best play Lúcio from Overwatch ? No question: With a turntable as a controller. How this looks, you will learn here.
Time for a fat beat
For some players, modern video games simply do not offer much of a challenge. Therefore, they impose their own handicaps and play World of Warcraft on a dance mat or use other absurd controllers. In Overwatch, Youtuber WhyBeAre wanted to stay true to the story of the Brazilian DJ Lúcio and whimsically used a controller from a completely different game: The turntable from the game “DJ Hero”. Because what would be more fitting than to control Lúcio with such a device?
With the limited selection of input options, it cannot be executed perfectly, but it suffices for a “rough gameplay”. With one disc, he controls the forward and backward movements, and with the second, the aiming left and right. However, there are no settings on the Y-axis – so the target must always be at the same height as Lúcio himself.
At least WhyBeAre recognizes that with this control in an actual game he would probably only receive insults, which is why he limited his test run to a game against the AI. Yet, he manages to score gold in all categories and secure the “Play of the Game” – although it must be said fairly that the AI is not exactly shining on the difficulty level.
Check out the result for yourself:
Mein-MMO says: In any case, it’s a “different” way to play Lúcio, although quite ineffective. We are actually just waiting for someone to play Pharah with a jetpack or to see Roadhog with a lasso in front of the PC. When that happens, we will of course keep you updated…
