Does playing PC games with a 360 controller make you a console gamer?

I use my 360 controller with my PC game all the time... well, except for RTS and FPS games of course.

What do you guys think?

No,because you're gaming on a pc.

Nope your just taking advantage of one of the many perks PC has :D

Nah it doesn't I play alot of games with my 360 controller.

Um, no. Some games, like Super Meat Boy, SHOULD be played with a controller no matter what system. But it's the system that governs what you're playing. Playing a PC game make you, at that moment, a PC gamer.

Kinda like asking if connecting a console on a PC monitor makes you a PC gamer.

its a controller....thats all

No.

No. But it is kinda funny when talking to a PC gamer and they admit to using primarily a controller. Then later on they argue PCs have more control than consoles.

I've talked to gamers in real life that have said all that in a conversation over the course of 15 minutes and they had no idea of the contradiction.

Yeah i highly doubt that.

Of course not. You're taking advantage of one of PC gamings many advantages.

Nope of course it doesn't.

I use my 360 controller for FIFA, Street Fighter, GRID (racing) and Bastion. Everything else on K+M though.

PC does have more control.... you can pick between thousands of controllers or K+M, while on consoles your stuck with one controller, so in a sense it does have more control (options) :P

You're playing games on a PC... So, no.

If a handheld had usb support for controllers, does it make you a console gamer?

Unsupported? There are over a hundred games that are compatible with Sixense tech.

Probably, if you have a 360 controller it's possible you have a 360 and have played the console. So you're both a console gamer and a pc gamer but does that matter ?

No.

It's just a simple peripheral.

It's like saying you use a keyboard and mouse on the PS3 doesn't make you a pc gamer.

Um controllers are better for some genres like racing. Why would you ask that? PC is better because it has more options for control.

don't worry tc,

your secret stays with us that you secretly cheat with a console on the side:P

No, not at all. The whole purpose of PC gaming is freedom and choices. If you are using any kind of gamepad, then you are just taking advantage of one of the many perks of PC gaming.

If I attach wheels to a plank, does that mean I'm driving a car?

you could effectively call it a street luge. :)

I use a 1080p tv and a 360 controller with my PC for certain games, but I'm still a pc gamer :)

Yeah, wen i use my gamepad, my PC magically transforms itself into a closed, outdated, and limited platform.

MrSelf-Destruct

Those already exist :D

On PC I'm using a PS3 controller which emulates the 360 controller.

I'm annoyed by MS button designators, because both have an X, but it's a different button.

you are still a PC gamer.

only now the C stands for console :P

Is the system a PC? Well then, there's your answer. I play games like Assassin's Creed and racing games with a controller. I'm still playing on the PC although I do play console games too like Gears of War and Uncharted. Nothing is wrong with that either.

I'm actually planning to buy the PS3 converter for mouse and keyboard by Penguin company. I've seen them demonstrate games like Killzone 3 and the responsiveness is the best out there for KB/M converters. It's like $80 though so I'll get it some day.

nope, I have 2 xbox controllers, still a PC gamer.... I use them on racing games and games like Dead Island or games like Assassins creed.

Great everyone will think you're pro :D

[QUOTE="Phoenix534"]

[QUOTE="lowe0"] Yes, but with one or two controllers, developers know what you have and how to use it. It's why my Move has games, and my Razer Hydra is an unsupported paperweight.lowe0

Unsupported? There are over a hundred games that are compatible with Sixense tech.

Strange they announced one game that's getting native support is Deep Black which will also being using PS move for the PS3 version. They also hinted for FPS fans that theyll be revealing something to the media in 3 months. They're also considering working for others like devs for the mech game Hawken.

Also aren't most of these PS move supported titles PS3 first party exclusives ;)

Also isn't this Killzone 3 move control just moving the gun and crosshair freely which you can probably do for PC games by using the console command.
