Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind!

Sorry about being bad about keeping up with the polls, they are getting difficult to post as data timeouts or something? Either way it wipes information and I have copy/past, backout and do it all over again. ;>_>

Console controllers.

Depends on the game, though.

Dance pads, with a guitar for alt input.

Really though, it depends on the genre. Shooters, first-person games, tactical games, and any that rely heavily on menu usage, I prefer M+KB. For third-person action games and top-down (or diagonal-down) games, I prefer controller.

Mertroid Prime is the only game where I think I've preferred motion controls.

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

Really depends on the game. Usually I like mouse + keyboard, but with Dark Souls, for instance, controller works much better.

Handheld interface. You can move the screen easily as you move, so it is easy to play in a curled up position under blankets.

Handheld controls for a handheld game, console controls for a console game, and m/kb for PC game.

Console controllers outside of a few games that I prefer mouse and keys for. Motion controls is the dream but I haven't played anything that really impressed me with them yet.

Death comes to all of those who oppose me.

PC gaming master race- Keyboard and mouse. There are a few games that I will use a controller though.

Let's just wait and see what happens.

Mouse/keyboard for FPS and RTS type games, controllers for everything else.

Handheld interface for aforementioned curling into a ball in blankets. Unless it's a platformer, then I demand an analog stick.

As is being said repeatedly, depends on the game. Almost always either m&k or gamepad though, touchscreen technology is still shit, motion control is still shit, handhelds have awkward buttons and shapes, and I've never used a stick so I can't comment on that.

But the best platformers ever made only required a D-pad!


I grew up playing only consoles, so I thought that was the only way to go. Then my friends introduced me to Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty 2, so I grew accustomed to and even preferred the K+M. I guess it just depends on the game, really. I'll still plug a PS4 controller into my PC to play a platformer or some RPGs (TitS: FC, most recently).

Handhelds, because I'm a lazy butt who likes to play video games in bed.

I play any consoles or handhelds I can because I tend to view them as necessary for exercise, no matter which games I am playing!

I have owned many of them (a lot, like 15 or so) and they still give me plenty to do, regardless of which generation I am currently completing, and it doesn't matter which game I am going to complete!

So, if I had to firmly choose something, I would choose handhelds because they require many dedicated hours to complete, as the genres are getting better than they ever have been!

Console Controllers. I play plenty of PC games, but I plug in and use an XBone controller for the vast majority of them and it works perfectly fine, even for multiplayer/competitive games.
