HEHE,

"Obvious" he says.....

I am an older gamer , so my reflexes are not what they used to be. Jumping from the "z" key to toggle to a new power or weapon in the number padcan be a bit of a strech (no pun intended). I am trying to figure out if I might save some sore muscles and joints with a gamepad for some of these or if the expience will be diminished by using a pad. Guess I am just an old disabled gamer! Thr programable mouse has help quite a bit, but I still find, even in some shooters, that I am not quick enough to hit all the keys required in time.

I heard in Batman that you have to do multiple key hits to do combs moves, seems like that might be a problem on a keyboard. Is that true?

LOL

Thanks!

I Just got a rumblepad for Xmas. I requested it because I am finding many newer PC games have WAY to many controls for a standard keyboard/mouse combo.

I will always use key/mouse for shooters but I am starting to wonder if this gamepad thing might catch on :)

So here is my question for you.

What games do you prefer a gamepad over a keyboard/Mouse.

I would be very interested in your opinions on the following games

1. Batman Arkam Asylum

2.Tomb Raider : Underworld

3. Grad Theft Auto IV

4. Psychonaughts

5. Mass Effect

I am playing LFD2 currently and very happy with a key/mouse control.

Ok, Ill bite, I have never heard of a memory leak...

What is that? HOw can I test it? Memtest?

Yes , Everything is pactched , updated nvidia drivers and it got worse. I occasionally have vertical lines running up and down on the menu screen now...

Whats a good program to monitor heat on the gpu?

It was difficult for me cuz I found it boring. I' liked fallout 3 much more.

Just couldn't get into this one. I wanted too, but it just was kinda dull.

Hey guys,

Been playing Far Cry 2 (again), becuase I am waiting for my new xmas games. Figured I finished this one finally.

Problem is after about 15 mintues my frame rates drop to a studder. It does not matter what I am doing, just walking along will do it. Once it drops I have to stop the game and restart and it is normal again for a little while.

Any Help? I know this is an issue for other people too, so hopefully someone will look at me specs and know what the deals is.

Thanks!

Do you think its better than the keyboard mouse for the above games?

Or maybe a Logitech pad??

HOW BOUT THIS?

OK , I have been flirting with buying one of these for a while. I do enjoy using mouse/keyboard for 1st person, but I have not been enjoying gmaes such as Tomb Raider:underworld/Assassins Creed/ Dead Space/Ghost busters as much, and I think its due to the controller issues getting in the way>

Some of the moves in these games require multiple button hits in a very short time, and to be quite honest, this old gamer is not as fast as I used to be!

So , let me hear your experience with these things, are they worth it? What games do you play with it? I am about to start playing GTA 4 and figure this controller might be good for that as well.

Any "bad" things about them?

What good things can you say about them versus keyboard/mouse?

Thanks guys!

A ps 2, they have gotten so inexpensive!

Games are like 5.00!

Great for the kids...

Sugestions for the kids games would be great, maybe one or two for me and the wife?
