I'am actually playing 90% of my games on consoles since 25 years, but in the last few weeks i started to use my i core5 - Laptop to play some PC games that i was intrested in, and i have to ask: Is it still common that nearly all games have issues with gamepads?
I know that many people play their PC games with Mouse/Keyboard, but i've connected my laptop via HDMI to a TV screen, and i really prefer playing with a gamepad. I'am using an Thrustmaster 3 in 1 Controller (can be used for PC, PS3 and also PS2 - http://www.thrustmaster.com/de_DE/produkte/t-wireless-3-1-rumble-force ).
Games i've tested:
DreadOut - Looks like this game has no controller support at all, but you can actually play it with a gamepad, still, the button mapping is so horrible, that the game becomes unplayable.
Among the Sleep - Has controller support, you have to assign ever button on your own, the buttons work, but the controll sticks are doing nothing. Not playable with my Controller.
A Story about my Uncle - Has Controller support. A Xbox 360 Pad is shown in the option menu, but the game refuses to take any command of my Controller.
Monochroma - Seems also to have no controller support. My Gamepad is not working.
Well, DreadOut and Monochroma are not supporting Gamepads at the moment (in 2014... unbelievable ), but why are the other 2 games are not working with my Gamepad? Will a Xbox360 PC Pad work better? Am i doing something wrong? Is it still common in these days that games do not, or just poorly supporting Gamepads?
P.S. I'am also playing Octodad Deadlist Catch, it works with my Controller, the controls are horrible, but i know that in this game it should be that way
