I absolutely agree that there are things that are fact and not opinion, controller vs Mouse+Keyboard isn't one of them.  The thing about facts is that you can absolutely prove them, you cannot prove that mouse and keyboard are better than controllers.  It's absolute opinion.  Nothing else.  I know, I know, PC lovers love to point out shooters and RTS's but what's funny is they always ignore platformers and fighters like they don't exist.

As for my original comment, I was being goofy and bored.  The picture they showed was a monstrosity and as stupid as showing Diner Dash in their previous picture.  I'm sure there are some people that would geek out over that, most would ask what the fuck am I supposed to do with that?

Then you msut have really failed your reading classes because they specifically mentioned games with "complex interfaces." Correct me if I'm wrong, but no Fighter or Platform has a "complex interface" thus making your comment utterly useless, ignorant, and just outright pointless.

Again, fuck people, learn that people have different opinions than you.

I don't like mouse and keyboard, I'm better with a controller at all gametypes except sims and RTS's, and that's that.  Yes, even complex shooters I'm better with a controller.

Games that I have played on PC and console and I liked controller better:

  • Gears of War
  • Halo
  • Left4Dead
  • Left4Dead 2
  • Half-Life 2
  • TF2
  • Portal
  • F.E.A.R.

Games that I've played with mouse and keyboard and controller that I liked it better with mouse and keyboard:

  • none

If you look at those, most of them have "complex" interfaces that I simply like using a controller better.  I don't get why people have such a hard time accepting that.

Furthermore, just because something is more complex does not make it better.

And when will people try to pass facts off as opinions?

Tarheel made an amazing analogy. Sure you may be able to do some amazing stuff with a Crovette, but a Ferrarri will do everything it does a lot better. Just because YOU can't do it doesn't mean the problem is with the Ferrari, it's wioth the user. So please stop passing off facts as opinions.

As an aside, Corvette vs. Ferrari doesn't work as well.  The Corvette ZR1 actually outperforms all Ferraris to date, and the Z06 will rival the upcoming 458 Italia.

@PyramidHead: I absolutely love the Wii and the Wiimote, and while it's certainly better for FPS and RTS than a traditional controller, it still can't compete with mouse + keyboard when it comes to performance.  Me playing on a PC would own me playing on the Wii.  It's just not as fast or precise.
