How many love playing with the keyboard and mouse than the controller?

I just can't get into controllers again. Playing with the keyboard and mouse feels so much fun and in controls with all of my favorite genres like RPGs, FPSs, flight sims, and puzzlers. Of course it can't play all genres better but for the most part, it just feels more intuitive and more fun. For example, hack-n-slash games are much more fun with the mouse and keyboard than the standard controller.

I think devs. should make an option to use the keyboard/mouse all PS3/360 games that really could benefit from it. The new Unreal Tournament is a step in the right direction, kudos to Epic for the keyboard/mouse option.

just 4 shooters, estrategy, or games like wow

I couldn't agree more. With the exception of driving games, a mouse and keyboard is superior for control, without a doubt.

For the life of me, I don't know why modern consoles don't have an option for mouse for controller support for all games. I know UT3 will have it for the PS3, but why doesn't all games? If I were Sony, I would require that all games made to be able to played with a mouse as well as controller, thereby attracting millions of PC players to their console.

I think a LOT of users, including me, would abandon PC games forever if consoles allowed mouse and keyboard control for all their games.

p.s. - I understand why Microsoft doesn't do it with the 360, because I realize they don't want the 360 to intrude too much on Games for Windows.

I am both a pc/console gamer and tend to favor controllers due to the more ergonomic feel of sitting on the couch with one "tool" in my hands:P

It is far more convenient and more suitable to play with a "contoller":P Then there is that wonderful experience of "goood viiiibbbbraaatttions" that the rumble feature exudes.;) @ least with the 360 controller.

Depends on the game obviously.gobo212

Yep. IMO fighting, sportsand driving games are impossible to play with mouse and keys. On the other hand, RTS and FPSs are much better with a mouse and keys. All the other genres can be played either way, depends on the person and the way the interface is designed.

I fail to see why this is still an issue, however. It's also beyond my comprehension why console developers refuse to support mouse and keys, even though the usb ports are there.

I prefer controller over mouse and keyboard for any game. Mouse and keyboard are too bulky and were not designed to play games, that's my opinion.benthepoet

I thought the same way until I played RTSs and FPSs with the keyboard/mouse. Have you tried playing with the keyboard and mouse like FPS or RTS? Maybe you just don't prefer PC games.

I tried playing Call of Duty 3 on my PS2 after playing Call of Duty 2 on the PC. The controller is extremely difficult to aim and control. With the mouse, I felt like a sharpshooter.

Yeah, I really dislike PC gaming and I'm not too keen on RTS games either. I like a good FPS, just not on PC. PC gaming feels hackneyed to me.
