Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

I'm gonna just ruin everyone's day by sharing that I play racing simulators with a controller. On PC.
Im gonna add to the ruination by saying I play shooters on PC with a controller
Really? Like, I know its physically possible. Do you survive long?
But ... a little ruination is always good. Game on, friend.
I use gyro + flickstick, which is a lot better than the regular stick aim :3 (after getting used to gyro stick aim just feels slow and mushy x3. I can't use it anymore)
But I do fine at surviving :3. I mean, in competitive games I at least survive as long as my team usually does, and my K/D/A or win/lose scores are usually in the positive and stuff. Im not like a pro competitive player by any point tho, so it's also not like im fighting the best of the best hehe ^^ and obviously singleplayer/co-op games are fine :3
Sure. Racing and flight simulators are a joke on those little boxes. Ya need a PC. Do you use extra monitors?
Hah, I play on a laptop with just its screen.
‘Gran Turismo’ is in fact quite good, and supports wheels. Their fantasy tracks are really nice, starting from the first game — I had to have them as mods in ‘Assetto Corsa’. ‘Wreckfest’ also works fine on consoles.
Man those smart TVs are so cheap now. The video screen is what you interact with most, its the biggest part of the experience. Get yourself a huge TV, an HDMI cable, and call it your gaming monitor. (My TVs don't get to talk to the internet.)
Yeah, it would also be the biggest part of my room.
:] Laptop it is, then!
