PC games that are fun with an Xbox 360 controller - Games

So, I bought a Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver to play some PC games using the 360 controller... I don't get how people play FPS games using a damn joystick. It's fun for racing games like Blur, Grid, and Split Second though. Anyway, are there any games that are fun with the 360 controller?

The thing I like most about a controller/joystick is that you can move at a variety of speeds. You can walk very slowly, normally, or at any speed in-between. You cannot do that with WASD.

I'd imagine games like Mafia II would be better with a gamepad.

[QUOTE=angelangel;24821318]I'd imagine games like Mafia II would be better with a gamepad.[/QUOTE] Not at all.

Generally GFW ports of Xbox games are brilliant, since they recognize the 360 controller right away, and usually have controls designed for it.

Plain Sight

Mafia 2 is great with a 360 controller.

Resident Evil 5. Actually , most capcom games on the PC , such as the Devil May Cry series

RTS's can be fun but only simple ones. I always play multiwinia with an xbox controller.

Batman.

I played GTA IV with a 360 controller. Aiming is still pretty easy, but ofcourse since it's a controller, aimings going to be a little harder so it adds to the challenge. I played through borderlands to level 30 with a 360 controller aswell, actually suits it, however aiming is pretty horrid just like with the mouse; I used shotguns on my playthrough most of the time anyway.

GTAIV is one of the games I like playing with my 360 controller.

gta 4, beat hazard, dirt 1,2, grid, assassins creed 1 and 2.

Colin McRae Dirt 1/2 Also like half a year ago I was thinking how are you even supposed to play FPS games with controller but somehow it's not hard :buddy: [QUOTE=gta-man12345;24821751]dirt 1,2[/QUOTE] Ninja'd :ninja:

Batman: Arkham Asylum [QUOTE=Errorproxy;24821269]I don't get how people play FPS games using a damn joystick.[/QUOTE] A joystick: [img]http://www.klnce.edu/symposium/2009/Reflechir09/img/joystick.jpg[/img]

Strictly it's called a gamepad but nobody in the whole world cares.

With Gamepads (specifically xbox 360) Good: -Racing. -Top down shooters. -Platformers. -Adventures. Bad: -FPS. -Strategy. Could go either way: -Third person shooter. -Puzzlers. -Simulators. -Action. But that's just from personal experience.

GTA IV was far better with a controller

Tomb Raider. I went on a tomb raider nostalgia spree last weekend with the 360 controller and it was great.

GTA IV most definitely. Steering helicopters and riding motorbikes are just a lot more satisfying and easier with a gamepad. [editline]06:21PM[/editline] In my opinion every TPS plays better with a gamepad.

Almost anything that isn't a strategy game, RPG, or FPS.

Dead Rising 2 should be funny with an Xbox 360 Controller

I prefer the game pad for PC gaming. It's just what I'm comfortable with and that's what I grew up with. I wish I could figure out to use my Xbox 360 controller on my PC. My brother got it to work the other day, but I don't know how to do it. Call me a heretic or infidel, but I would play and love Team Fortress 2 more if I could play it on the PC with a game pad.

I've always used a 360 controller for Just cause 2.

IL2 Sturmovik, if you don't have anything against flight simulators with dogfights.

[QUOTE=angelangel;24821318]I'd imagine games like Mafia II would be better with a gamepad.[/QUOTE] Yeah, games like GTA 4 and Mafia are better with gamepads. [editline]10:39PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Take_Opal;24821443]Plain Sight[/QUOTE] Aiming with a stick, to me is very inefficient.
