news 28 Posted October 8, 2012 I have been in several situations where a variety of people claim the gamepad is superior for gaming because that is what it was designed for. No elaboration or further justification is given. The controller is designed for gaming and is therefore clearly better. End of – despite often being start to – discussion in their minds. Really it is a compromise between the needs of popular games and the environment of a couch. URL: http://www.pcper.com/reviews/General-Tech/Gamepad-Really-Designed-Gaming Quote: "Game interface designers recognize how terrible the precision of controller sticks are and pretty much universally decide that a few undeserved kills are better than frustration from constant input failure. Because the controller would otherwise be too frustrating even the most competitive console title includes aim assist. The game might curl your projectile to the target it believes you intend to hit; it might nudge or lock your crosshairs to the target; it may do both and/or some other method. So why not just take away the gamepad since it is “worse” than the mouse and keyboard?" Thanks!! Ryan Shrout PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com Share this post Link to post
