Use a Xbox controller for PC, I know a program which really helps you making the controller your mouse.
Edit: I found the link: Clicky
Edit2: I am not a fan of Xbox.
Edit3: I didn't say that it makes stuff any better, in my view it makes everything different. Different in a good way :)

Why ever would you want to do that?
Seriously, do you like controls that lack precision?
I do like controller for Beat'm ups and the occasional platformer, but really for anything else, why would you want to use a controler?
And please don't tell me your gaming on your PC with a 10$ mouse.

I'm using 6$ mouse, 6$ keyboard and ~15$ Tracer gamepad.

+1 Real gamers spend their money on their computer, not stupid peripherals.

There are games that feel a lot better with joypad (arcade games for example, like Super Meat Boy); also, not everybody can buy a Razer Naga or expensive shit for play games.
And having fun is an undefined concept, too - people may have more fun playing with what you would consider worse controls :P

of course there are, thats because they were made with consoles in mind most times. Kinda helps ya know.
Yes, one of the reasons people continue to bring this up, other then being either retarded or a massive troll, is because "fun" is user defined, and thus its context changes from person to person.
Also, I vote PC, at least till win 8 takes over and reverses this.

+1 Sonic Generations is unplayable without a controller XD

a lot of games are more fun with a controller. i like to button mash and it feels good as well. i play a lot of platformers and fighters with a 360 controller and use mouse and keyboard for precision-heavy games. the person also never said he used the controller for everything including high precision games ok that would be a bad idea

I only used a controller (specifically, my PS3 controller) for Sonic Generations and Driver: San Fransisco, but I wouldn't think of it for any FPS or RPG or strategy title.
Since I don't own a joystick, I'd also play any flight sim with a controller.

Me Too!! but I don't use my ps3 as much as the other two

I Like PC because games are cheaper than console gaming and because of mods, but I like console better when it comes to actually playing games. When the day comes that its possible to download mods for my PS3, my pc will never be used for gaming except for PC and Xbox/PC exclusives.

False, Pc's you can upgrade and you can play an RTS decently, Shooters decently and arcade games you can easily play with a 360 pad and you can adjust your settings anyone who says a console is better is someone who doesn't play games on a pro level.

Depends on a taste, i for example like to play FPS stuff (or stuff where you have to aim) on PC and hack & slash & RPGs on PS3. Also, some console only games are really awesome (GoW series, Bayoneta, new Castelvaia (yes i am hack&slash fanboy xD)

Mods, lower price, keyboard+mouse&controller, cheaper/free dlc, better graphics, better perfomance, steam VS obsolete and closed hardware, paid online game, online pass and some exclusivities
You decide, for me, some unique console games that don't usually have more than 5-6hours length aren't worth, at all. I know steam is a big online pass, but who da fak cares about that when games are so cheap? And I don't care about ported games, they always look/work better on PC, and every day more and more games are on PC so less games I'll miss
Last year I was an xbox console gamer that thought it was the best thing evah. Now it's quite the opposite. Heck I even thought pc gaming was dead, and man, how wrong was I...

That's what happens when you play on consoles, they brainwash you into thinking PC gaming is dead and consoles are superior

And there are people which REALLY believes that consoles have BETTER graphics than PC, unfortunately I met more than few of them. Thats just what happens when you start believing in crap advertised by big publishers.

Finally someone who gets it, I try to tell everyone this but nobody seems to get that all of our games are using 2005-2006 technology to fit onto consoles

It depends. When consoles are brand new, they are often far more powerful and capable (graphics-wise, at least) than a PC at a comparable price. Okay, maybe not the Wii, but let's use the Xbox/Playstation families for now.
When the console's new, it'll cost way more to have a comparable PC, so the balance of power swings over to the consoles, because consumers and especially parents are going to want the convenience and pricing that a, say, $350 console gives compared to a $950+ computer that has the same horsepower.
As the consoles get old and desktop computers catch up and overtake the consoles, becoming capable of delivering way more power for the same price, the balance of power swings in the other direction. Then, a new generation of consoles comes out, intended to be more powerful than the average PC for at least three to four years, and the cycle starts over.
Additionally, some games are just better on different control schemes. The big players (such as Microsoft) have tested cross-platform play for FPSs, and controller players are always demolished by keyboard-mouse players because of the lack of accuracy on thumbsticks compared to a mouse. Platformers and racing games are often better played on a controller than a keyboard. They all have their benefits.

That might be true in the past, however, recent hardware trends and lack of gaming improvements/requirements have basically stagnated console "upgrades". Basically, the next gen of consoles will be just as powerful as desktop's current mid-tier line up. So for anyone that builds then own systems, granted not a lot of pc consumers, a much better rig can be had for cheaper or just around the console's price tag.

Honestly I doubt it this time around, people with high powered rigs will probably still be above consoles when the new gen releases.
Guess we will see though, if anything it will only last a tiny bit of time.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I just don't feel like they are pushing it this time.
Oh well, guess its sorta a good and a bad thing. Good thing is I wont have to go crazy upgrading, bad thing graphics wont be pushed as much as they should...which I sorta miss. I will admit to consoles holding back PC's a tiny bit graphics wise. Wont be as bad probably once new systems release though.

Graphics only hold back console ports, lol. Buy direct-for-PC franchises instead. :D
Without derailing this completely, I hope more focus gets put towards things other than graphics, like what Nintendo's been doing with pushing innovation on new ways to play. The Wii was a mixed success (hello, fucktons of shovelware), but it made Sony and Microsoft follow it after they spent several years mocking it.

I know but many games are multi-platform. Check out This. Its a perfect example of consoles holding back PC versions.
I love my Wii though, sure there is tons of junk but it had a lot of fun games also. I am not against consoles I just see the pros and cons :-).

You mean because Sony and the others actually sell their consoles at a loss, because otherwise noone would buy them.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, never. MS and Sony already said they won't release new 600-800$ Consoles. Graphics on the new Consoles will be better, but the performance will never beat High-End PCs right now. M$ and $ony only care about Money and they make alot with the terrible Consoles right now - so they aren't in a rush to bring us better Graphics.
There was never a Time were Consoles had more Power than PCs - thats just not possible, because the Hardware in Consoles is mostly the same as in PCs, just older :p
Look how great Witcher 2 looks on Ultra or Skyrim with ENBseries and HD-Textures... and that runs with Hardware from 2010 pretty smooth.
Consoles are for people who are too stupid to build/configure their own PC. Without consoles PC Games would look so much better and would proably be just better (Alot of great games base on Mods [CS/DotA...])

Oh, sure, a $2000 rig can beat anything that comes in one assembled box with no user-modifiable components. And you can cut the price considerably and still spank the shit out of a 360. But when the Xbox 360 came out, a computer for the same price wasn't anywhere near as strong.
A PC will give you vastly more power and flexibility, of course. Duh. But for the average consumer (and they are the majority, remember), "good enough" frequently becomes the standard when it comes to money spent on entertainment.

2k rig would be just overkill. 500-800 is you are upgrading or have to build from scratch. Biggest expense is the graphics card unless you plan to compare apples to apples in which case youd lower the res to 1280x720, cap your fps to 30-60, and set most things to med. Then youd only need half the vcard. Its easy to run a game when youre only seeing half of it.

Frue or Tralse ?
Guys, the whole meaning of this thread was to troll each other about this subject and it ended up full of 8 years old actually arguing which one is the best.
I prefer the PC but that's an opinion so if you want to start a fight just keep it to yourself and die slowly
