EM, that's a really dumb thing to say... I mean, here you are saying "I'm stuck using mouse and keyboard for this game. Why should I get a gamepad when it would obviously make this game I'm playing easier?" and it sounds every bit as absurd as I wrote it there.
Beyond just that though, there are a great many reasons why every PC gamer should have a gamepad. Let's see...
- For console ports, which when done decently are always better than the console versions (most of those games are no fun at ALL with keyboard!)
- For emulation (emulation is pretty much impossible without a pad)
- For console-style retail PC games (mostly older, but there are some)
- For PC shareware and freeware that use gamepad controls (there are a HUGE number of these)
Not playing whole genres and fields of games simply because you don't have a gamepad for your PC, something that is quite cheap, makes absolutely no sense. None.
