tinyE: I don't know how most games are played on a console, minus platformers. People who can play Tomb Raider with a gamepad posses talent I could only dream of. :P
It is what you are used to. When Doom, Duke 3D, Wolf 3D came out it was just turn and shoot which you could do on a console with a pad. 1st time I ever played an FPS that required looking around and actual aiming it took me a while to adjust. Now I don't know how I ever played them another way.
There are people out there who still play Doom with the original control scheme. I just can't fathom how that's even possible - I know I did it once upon a time but I gave it a try a couple months ago and it just left me flailing aimlessly, totally unable to progress. Just goes to show, it really is just about what you're used to.It is what you are used to.
