Well nerds it looks like a may be getting a new computer soon (goodbye 1999!) and I'm sure as hell making sure it can play this game well, so you can all cheer for me or whatever. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION for those of you wh have played botht he Xbox 360 and PC versions KAY?
Which control setup is better? the real answer is revolution dur. I know what the interface is like, and honestly I think it'd work quite well with the 360 controller, which is what I've been hearing. Of course I'd prefer the mouse for looking around, but I have a really hard time playing most games with a keyboard, and I love the feeling of a controller in my hand. The only complaint I've been hearing is that setting hot keys with the number pad is far superior to using the D-pad, but honestly my brain doens't function well with the number pad. All these years of console gaming has made me more comfortable using the D-pad, even for hot keys, so I don't think that that would be a probelm.
This is assuming, of course, that I can use the 360 controller for the PC version of oblivion, but since it functions as a PC controller as well I don't see why not. The thing is, the 360 controler is like $40 and that's kind of a lot, especially since I'm busting the old piggy-bank for this PC (and also borrowing a thousand bucks :S), so I wanted to know if it would be worth it. I guess it'd basically be like playing the 360 version without all the terrible problems and such.
So, which is better? >_> (or not even which is better, but is the 360 controller not terribly clunky and awkward?)
