I think that's totally an age dependent thing. Being an old fart that grew up on the original Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, a keybaord seems completely natural to me and console controllers seem awkward.

Keyboard = movement
Mouse = aiming



Most console controllers annoy me.

Oblivion on the PC > Oblivion on my PS3, though its far less annoying than many console ports

Believe it or not I grew up on those too!


I just mean the whole like using for instance A, S, D F in place of up down left or right. In duke nukem or doom you actually got to use the directional arrows.

Well on a PC you can always change it that.

But when you have other keys doing things like jumping/crouching/dodging/looking around corners, it makes far more sense to do WASD

Some games controls can be difficult on a keyboard, but the graphic superiority of a PC game wins out over console IMO. Plus a lot of games come out way before console on PC. I remember Rainbow Six Vegas came out on PC like 2 years before it was released on xbox.

here we go the Desktop gamers versus the console.

Desktop gamers.....please catch up and learn how to use a console controller. Keyboard and mouse is so 1990.

Once you get used to the control of an FPS on a PC, you will never play an FPS on a console anymore. The controls frustrate me to the point where I can not play them on a console.

Anyways. I am bouncing between CoD4, WoW and Sims 3.. That is really all I have time for. My 360 does not really see a whole lot of use other than a media center.
