WHATS REALLY IMPORTANT?
Written by: Pip - 18:12 Mar-06-2012

It has been a long discussion and even deserved a thread on our Forums. I am talking about what's important in a game to me. The Visuals? The Story? The Gameplay? The Sound Effects? The Replay Value? Sure, those are all important but I realized yesterday what makes me even consider buying a certain game or moving on to the next "shelf". Can you guess what it is?

Whether it supports my Microsoft XBOX 360 Controller or not. I was looking through the tasty FPS we have at GD and I selected a couple to then choose which one I really wanted. I then realized that I had only chosen those that supported a gamepad. For example, this is me looking at Payday: The Heist :

"Uhm....I like how the game plays..." "Hum...The graphics look nice..." "Oh, it runs on my rig.." "Man I am really into this kind of game..." "Let's see...I want it..like NOW..." "...What? Keyboard only? Forget it."

So you see I liked everything about the game, except the fact I can't use a gamepad.

I never got how gamers played popular FPS and alike using the keyboard and the mouse/touchpad. How is that possible? What fun is controlling a character with boring keys and using the mouse or the touchpad to look around? It's 2012 people. A game without gamepad support is like a game without a saving option.

I don't know if this is the case for many gamers out there but I am sure some games are not played because they don't have a gamepad support.

Now, this is the part where I think what I wrote is really stupid and I want to delete it. I think I won't do that this time. Anyway it's over.

...Why?

I don't know. I want to break the cliché...

What? Stop looking at me like that..! ...What..?

Yes, I have deleted a couple of blog posts before posting them..you have a problem with that?

What? - No, I am not mad or crazy or anything similar. I just do things MY WAY.

WHAT?? Why do you keep on reading? I told you my blog post is over. Stop reading and go do something good for the humanity.

Oh please don't tell me you'r still reading. I told you it's over. OVER. O-V-E-R.

Don't bother scrolling down the window. It's over after this sentence is finished.

You are a persistent one. This time, it's really over. I guarantee you.

I told you it was over.
