Need to be brief as I need to get to bed... 1. Whenever I give input to Duke (like say, move the Left Stick to move or A to jump), he doesn't do it until half a second later. 2. Multiplayer contols are extremely frustrating as well. Dunno if it's 'cause of #1 (it certainly isn't my slow system) or if it's simply 'cause I suck. Oh, and where's the aim assist? Yes I play using the Xbox 360 controller. No, I don't particularly fancy M/KB controls.

I know you said you don't fancy M+KB so why are you playing PC games again? Why not get the console version? I just don't get it. You're a PC gamer. Yes, i understand that some games play much better with a controller, like Assassin's Creed, racing games, etc... but Duke Nukem is better played with M+KB imho. Or am I understanding you wrong and you just don't like M+KB for DNF specifically?

I don't dislike M/KB in all games I play; I just prefer using the 360 controller when possible. For example, I feel that GTA IV is better played with the 360 controller because it's more responsive than the M/KB, but in games like Dragon Age, using a keyboard would make sense due to all of the combat ability/item shortcut bindings. In fact controllers aren't even supported in such games. Now, this is touching SW territory, so I need to keep this brief as to answer your questions: 1. Console controls + the power and open-sourceness of the PC. 2. The PC version is better, if only by a little. 3. You understood correctly. But what's REALLY bothering me is the lag/time between when I press something and the associated action actually happens. EDIT: It's not just the controller that's suffering from the problem; it happens using the KB/M too. Or is it just my machine, which is fairly old?

I agree a little.. But theres still some shooters such as borderlands that I'd rather be able to recline my office chair and play with a controller. Now, something like BF2 I have to use a kbm.
