Yes, I like controllers, isn't that odd?
Yes, I like controllers, isn't that odd?
I've been a console gamer for years now, but I'm also a PC gamer with no strong dislike for consoles—each has its own place. Playing with a controller feels more natural to me, especially for games like Witcher, Tomb Raider, and COD. It's just easier for me, even though I occasionally play some titles with a keyboard and mouse. Many PC gamers say keyboards and mice work better, but I find aiming more precise with them in shooters. Do you really miss console gaming after all?
Many PC players rely on a 360 pad, just like most gamers do. I believe everyone should have a controller for certain titles—games such as Shadow of Mordor, Tomb Raider, or fighting games work better with one. I use a controller every day; keyboards and mice shine in first-person, RPGs, point-and-click, and some puzzles.
These racing titles and controller-friendly games offer a much smoother experience compared to using a keyboard and mouse.
Choose what feels natural to you, because it's mostly muscle memory. The game you started with first will always be your favorite. My top FPS experience began with Battlefield 3—though I'm a bit behind the curve now, but playing with a mouse and keyboard made me comfortable quickly. Before getting a PC, I never really played FPS games; I focused on racing, platformers, and sports titles, so I stick to controllers for those genres.
Thanks, it feels better now that I see other PC gamers using controllers too. I can stop stressing over my 360 controllers and feel more relaxed, thanks!
