*sigh* Not this again. A gamepad is a totally different thing. It's not necessarily a replacement for the keyboard/mouse combo. If you don't understand why I would buy a gamepad then you don't understand how I actually enjoy laid-back games like adventures more with a gamepad, precisely since they are more relaxed to play with one. I don't feel like twitch games are more suited to gamepads, but sitting back on your favourite couch with a gamepad beats sitting hunched over your keyboard in my book.

But no one should force you to use a gamepad if you prefer the keyboard/mouse, of course. It's just the stubbornness of refusing anything as long as it's not keyboard/mouse that stuns me.

P.S. What did you think of the controls in Under A Killing Moon when you first tried them? Just curious.
