The game just feels great with a DS controller, never did with a keyboard and mouse. Of course PC is the best platform to play shooters, but those mechanics are only a fraction of what GTA is about. Driving and on foot sections feel vastly superior with a DS controller.

"..." - To you.

However, the fact that they had to create aim assist, tells us that the DS controllers aren't all sunshine and rainbows for certain mechanics.  Personally, I never had a problem with either, certainly much more accuracy with mouse, DS is usable, but simply not my interface of choice for TPS/FPS games.  Never had any kind of problem walking or driving (lol), with a keyboard and mouse.  Only reason I stopped playing GTAIV on console, was because the game just looked and ran so much better on my computer, that's just a  natural result of having more resources to work with.

Have to disagree with you though, gunplay isn't just a 'fraction' of GTA.  Not even remotely close.  I would argue the majority of missions require you to shoot.

Not sure what you mean by the bolded.

I never said there was a problem with driving using keyboard and mouse, just that it feels vastly superior with a DS controller. Yes, games do look better on PC, but the tradeoff with GTA (driving) doesn't make it worth it.

As for the shooting part, yes shooting is major part of GTA, but not as much as driving. And shooting with aim assist on is still very enjoyable, even if it makes the game easy. All in all, his "beta tester" statement made little sense considering that this game is a masterpiece on PS3 and console "beta testers" have been enjoying it for over a year now. If I can have so much fun while "beta testing" I'll gladly do it.
