Lol Jay has stopped posting in this thread so I think he has seen the light.
I think people are just confused why you are deliberately handcapping yourself by not using a certain type of controller.
Maybe we need to start a support group? Let me start it of
My name is Joe and I use a 360 pad on my PC (for certain games) and I have done for some time

I haven't stopped posting, just haven't seen an update pop up for a while.
Deliberate handicap? Yeah because a pad is loads more accurate than a mouse
It's not a handicap, it's personal preference mate, accuracy using a mouse is x10 better than a pad
Have you tried playing Red Alert on a console, it's impossible!
I've preordered SSX for the PS3 and for a game like that I completely agree that a pad is better, I'd feel so out of control and un-immersed trying to play SSX with a keyboard
/sigh
You are arguing the same point as every one else here![]()
Jay794's posts never fail to amuse me.
I wasn't even slightly surprised to learn that he reads the daily mail.
...no I'm not, I'm saying certain games are made for consoles and certain ones are made for the PC.
Using a pad on the PC or using a keyboard on a console just seems silly to me. You buy a game on a certain platform because thats what it plays best on.
Sorry! totally disagree and if the consoles input devices were not artificially limited to joypads your head would be in a spin as your logic is flawed as FPS that are on console still use a joypad, so why did they bother making fps for consoles even though the input method is less suited, its because for some people that is their gaming platform of choice regardless of the input method.
All my Console games play better on the PC when given the choice and if all gaming was limited to just joypad on the PC it would still be better and still my gaming platform of choice.
All things being equal as regards to input devices the PC would still be the better platform because of everything else that it has with the exception of plug and play.
It's not a handicap, it's personal preference mate, accuracy using a mouse is x10 better than a pad
This!!
Even I have attached logitech dual action controller pad to my pc and play all games on PC now, making use of both K+M and controller pad.![]()
So you think you cant enjoy fifa on the pc with a pad? or gta, etc etc etc, these games are far better looking on pc so why would a person with a pc not play them on a pc.
Go get yourself a 360 pad for your pc, works great for games that suit it.
lol I started this tread to see if there was anyone else a little peeved that we don't get decent beat em ups on the PC (bar SF). Not for a PC vs console war
Obviously a lack of demand then :/
