Some people seem to think so. I'm trying to explain that I find GTA IV to be much more enjoyable on PC when I use the 360 controller. Then of course, some elitists have to argue about how much better aiming is with a KB and mouse.
In most games, I'd be inclined to agree. However, many PC ports of console games do not handle mouse controls well. There's many games that will handle mouse acceleration in a way that makes them difficult to use.
PLUS, when I use a keyboard, I'm only able to move in 8 directions. With the analog stick, my options are pretty limitless.
When I'm driving with a keyboard, I'm gonna floor it, idle, or completely brake. When I'm turning, I'm either slamming the wheel all the way left or all the way right.
Anyway, certain game types call for certain types of controls. FPS's are usually best played with a KB and Mouse, true. Strategy games are the same way.
However, IMO, most third-person games of any type are best played with a controller. OPINION!
I use a controller to play PC Games
Yup, it's true. I love playing games on my PC, but sometimes I'm going to use a 360 controller and relax. Does that make me a bad PC gamer?Some people seem to think so.

I wish video game companies ( Example: Ubisoft ) would take into consideration that people like to use different controllers to play different games. because frankly different genres are a helluvalot more fun with a controller rather than a keyboard.
