Back in the 80s and 90s, people used joysticks and flight sticks. Keyboard and mouse isn't suitable for all genres.

Back in the early 90's, my friend and I were enjoying a game of Dune 2. It was however rudely interrupted by his cousin, who insisted on playing Blues Brothers. He claimed the computer, plugged in his joystick, and proceeded with manhandling it violently. I still remember how abusive he was while jerking that joystick around. Several years later I learned that he had become homosexual.

Why wouldn't I take advantage of a PC's ability to plug in any controller I want?
Restricting myself solely to m&kb is the retarded move in this case. Certainly not brighter than any console owner.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I have an XBAWKS controller for third-person action games and some other emulated console games. It's D-pad is fucking shite though, I'm considering buying one of those USB Saturn pads or a Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad so I can finally play Contra 3 properly.

Flight sticks seem pretty badass. Wish there was a controller that could incorporate the pros of a keyboard and mouse with the ease of a handheld..

Just use mouse and keyboard for games that are best on mouse and keyboard and keep a controller for the rest. Don't understand what's the difficulty here, PC is superior precisely because we can do whatever the fuck we want on it.

Have I missed a Codex Lore check? Why is this thread addressed to muds_animal_friend ?

Is he some sort of Lithuanian hitman specialising in codexers who own a controller?

Also- I find blobbers play very well with a controller, emulated or windows native.

Playing Dragon's Dogma DA and FF 9 with console controller is better than mouse+keyboard IMO. Also, I like to play NBA on my PC, so why not using proper controller?

muds_animal_friend was right. this is disturbing. especially the way they rationalize it: pc is so superior it makes sense for them to plug in an inferior controller and be proud of being retarded.

i salute anyone who might just be too poor to buy a real gaming pc and gives in to buying a humble console and plug in a cheap mouse and keyboard, but the above just makes me puke.
