I hate gamepads. I have used both the xbox and ps3 controller for fps games, and I have gotten used to them and can see why these console fags play without complaining, but the mouse just feels more real, and looking around feels more instant and responsive.
Besides personal preference, it has been proven time and time again that the mouse & keyboard is superior to the controller. Using the controller is like how people used only the keyboard for doom, with somewhat improved movement and aiming, albeit very little. Anyone who thinks a controller is BETTER then a mouse is a fucking moron and should be treated as so. You can like the controller better but don’t try to act like it is better or more realistic. I’d like to see people move around as fast as they do in quake 1 deathmatch and do the super fast trick jumps with a fucking controller.
Though i will say xbox’s controller is leagues ahead of the ps3 controller for fps games. They still both fucking suck.
