So, I've bounced a bit between consoles and PC in the last decade. A few years ago when I was primarily a console person, my wife would join in on rare occasions. Anyhow, Tomb Raider was the one game she really latched onto, and she's really been looking forward to the release of the new one.
Naturally, I was very torn. I couldn't bear to buy TR for PS3 and let my dual 670s collect dust, but I wanted my wife to be in on the fun, and she won't play anything on PC. (I sure as hell was not buying both PC and PS3 copies.) I thought perhaps I could have my cake and eat it too by buying a wired 360 controller.
I was shocked with how good the result is. There was literally no configuration, I plug in controller and Tomb Raider just snapped into controller mode, all the icons in game reflected this. Of course, I could never give up kb/mouse for something like BF3 multiplayer. That said, the overall experience of playing TR was enhanced w/ controller if anything. It was just like playing on console, except with much more ass-kicking graphics.
Tried Crysis 3. Same thing, zero configuration. If anything both of these games felt like they were meant to be played with controller. I think I've discovered a new thing here.
