How can people play games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 with a gamepad?

I was playing on a buddy's PS3 and was playing some Oblivion but man it's hard to use a gamepad let alone a DS3 to play Oblivion. I was playing his mage character and I couldn't hit anything with my flares. Some games are better off on PC's than consoles (FPS, RTS, some RPG's) consoles should just stick to the games they're meant for (fighters, platformers, action/adventure, sports)corn_dogs

Actually it is exaclty because i hate playing with a keyboard/mouse and i find it 100% akward and strange, that i get all my games on consoles and not on PC

To me playing with a pad is 1000x more important than a bit better visuals on PC

Games that are not on cosnole, i wish they come, because i either skip them or am force d to play them on PC which sucks so much that destroy those games for me totally

Thank god all PC RPG's are coming the 360 way, hopefully Diablo 3 too, i would never buy that game on PC

LOL, it sounds like your trying to convinced yourself that you don't like PC gaming. Don't worry, when you grow up you will be able to buy your very own gaming PC, but I'm afraid for now your stuck with console gaming.:lol:

For you mighty pc gamers who are so skilled, playing with a gamepad should be no problem. Or has playing with K&M made you weak in the gaming force? as for Fallout 3, it is best played on a console, unless you want the crispest graphics though. Simply because you use VATS anyways, and shooting by freehand still uses the same algorythem as VATS to determine if you hit or not.trasherhead

There is no way in hell Fallout 3 is best played on console. Not only does the PC version have the best graphics and more precise controls, it also has mods, which are a vital part of Bethesda's games and will increase the replay value dramatically.

I refuse to comment on mouse and keyboard for a control method, as last time I did this (and created a thread about it) I got shot down.,....badly...

But a controller is a perfectly good way to play a game. Infact I think it is the best overall performer as a control method when all genres are taken into consideration.

No it isn't. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Why do people embarrass themselves with this kind of nonsense? I own a PS3.

.

i play both games just fine with a pad ps3 one at that, so must be you

How can people play games sitting on a chair more then one hour? Really, its a matter of taste and choice.

Btw, Oblivion IS better on PS3, almost every review mentioned that it has better textures, draw distance, framerate etc... compared to the 360 version, so stop being fanboys.

Sorry if I miss-understood you, but it seemed like you said it was best played on a console. I got tired of VATs not long after I bought the game, and if it wasn't for some mods that made VATs more interesting I would've probably stopped using it all together. I honestly can't playthrough a Bethesda game twice without mods, so the PC version is necessity for me. I've also played this game on my 360 and I found the controls awful, I can stand (and enjoy) shooting games on consoles like Halo 3 or CoD4, but the aiming was terrible in Fallout 3

The updated shaders etc. were patched into the 360 version. The 360 version has more content also I believe.

If you can find a comparison which compares the PS3 version to the latest 360 version with the game installed to the HD and still says the visuals/framerate/load times are btter then I'll agree.
