I find controllers to be incredibly awkward to use and feel way more comfortable with a mouse and keyboard. Yes, I even prefer the horribly clunky M&KB controls of Dark Souls to using a controller with that game.
Great argument. If a console gamer finds a KB and mouse awkward to use and finds controllers more comfortable that means that KB and mouse is stupid and useless, right?

Or he just stated how a lot of PC gamers feels like. Fact is regardless of habit, you have way less potential control with a controller than a mouse and keyboard. Try pitting console FPS players against PC players in a cross platform experiment.

This is also why there's almost no RTS for consoles and porting a game like BG2 would never work.

I'll just do a general comment that when it comes to popular mutiplatform games the ratio is 90% consoles and 10% PC. So playing with a controller is most of the time "the way its meant to be played".

No, you missed half the conversation.

I find the controls, story and half the missions to be terrible. However I really enjoy walking around the historical environments. That's the reason to play the games. When they're $10 or less you can get them and treat them like virtual city tours.
