its a topic.

I foolishly got rid of my 360 and now i'm going back to it in a way by buying a 360 controller for windows. Does this make me soft-core?

I use a PlayStation 2 pad (via an adapter) for games where it's appropriate, like Prince of Persia or Silent Hill. For games where keyboard and mouse is the better tool, I use the better tool.

Cannot stand the 360 pad.

i play console ports and racing games with x360 controller, wich means it's just collecting dust. bought it for Resident Evil 4.

i'm pretty pissed that Assasins Creed doesn't fully support it, even when it's originally a console game. i can't assign functions for those upper "throttle buttons", and the default control settings are also messed up in the beginning.

I have one for games like flight sims, or stuff like FFXI (when I played it briefly) that are much better suited to a controller/joystick. For everything else, I use keyboard/mouse.

I always have a controller on hand. Right now I've got the Logitech Rumblepad 2. The whole controller vs. keyboard thing has always confused me. I've always used a keyboard and always used a controller. Since the Apple IIe! Controller for driving, flying, sports and games it makes sense... to me. I use it in GTA, but only when I'm driving. I get out of the car I use the keyboard.

For sports games, racing games, and action-adventure games. A controller gives a better experience.

I use it quite often, it's comfortable and responsive. The D-pad blows though.

I don't understand the complains about Ass Creed. The 360 controller works like a charm in that game. Not that I've played it long enough to say that it won't be buggy down the road.

I don't understand how someone can actually like the dual-shock. That's one of my gripes with the ps3, the ergonomics of the pad suck. At least in my manly hands.

Woah woah woah! Watch who you're calling mister girly hands, mate.

My hands are a very appropriate size for my age and height! My mother said so and everything...

Seriously, though. The dual shock sucks bigtime for games where you need fluid and independent control of camera and character (all FPS games, in other words), but it's an excellent pad for most other things.

Maybe freaks of nature might find it a little too small, but any male with appropriately sized masculine hands (THEY ARE APPROPRIATELY SIZED, DAMNIT!) should find it very comfortable.

Yeah, you're probably right, mr "masculine hands" oooh (first 25 secs), did he use quotation marks there? I believe he did! Problem is that I only have one ps3 game and it's an FPS, lol (Resistance).

It's not like I have freakishly large hands, but they are big enough to screw up my grip on the Sixaxis. Or maybe i'm just not used to it or something. I found the old Xbox controller (Yes, the huge one) to be perfect for gaming (none of my friends agreed on that). Punier controller = less control imo.

360 controller is great to have, most games comming out nowdays have it supported so u dont need to map anything it out, its all done for ya.

alot of games are better on a keyboard and mouse, but playing assassin's creed or Grid on the keyboard is a joke, u almost need a gamepad for those.

plus its alot better to sit back on a couch with a controller instead of hunched over a keyboard

Who here uses an xbox 360 controller to play PC Games

They'd have to pay me quite a lot of money to make me use one of those. I'd rather stop gaming, than playing games with a controller (with the exception of fighting games)

I use it when on I play on my laptop, can't stand using laptop keyboard, or when I play console ports, it's very comfortable.

And about the one who had problems with Assassins Creed I guess he's using XBCD drivers, use official drivers and it should work fine.

Nope. Mouse and keyboard is far superior for everything except flight and racing games, and I don't play those anyways.

For racing games I use a Momo racing wheel and can never go back to gamepads or keyboards. They just doesn't stack up IMO.
