Well twesterm you did say you felt console controller was better than pc. Maybe next time if it's just your opinion say you prefer, or something similar.

In any case your ignorant if you really think a console controller is better than a mouse + keyboard for fps games... why do you think cod uses auto-aim thingy on consoles. I remember when quake 3 arena came out it was available on dreamcast and pc and it was possible to play across platforms and the pc players would absolutely rape the console users. The controls (as stated) are too limited with there set scroll speed where a mouse has adjustable scroll speed.

Here, I'll highlight the parts you missed.

You don't honestly think a normal console controller is better for a FPS or RTS do you?

Why yes I do actually (well not for RTS, but I haven't played an RTS in 7 or 8 years so I don't care so much).

 

And I would say you're the one that's ignorant if you think you're opinion is the only one.

I'm left handed and I just hate using the arrow keys and numpad for shooters.  It just isn't comfortable for me and using the mouse in my right hand isn't an option.  I've tried many many *many* different control schemes and they all hurt my hand.  I've tried control scheme after control scheme of other left handed people that say it's comfortable and I just don't like them.

Ontop of that, all the keys simply get confusing to me.  The fact that most of them aren't even standardized makes it even worse when going through different games.  Controllers are simple.  I like simple.

So why would a control option that isn't comfortable be better than one that is?  Please educate me, I must know why my opinion is wrong.
