So well i heard that its really fun to play gta 4 and hack and slash games like Darksiders 2 with a controller.
So which is the cheapest controller available in (Flipkart,hs18) or any other site which will work with gta 4 etc.
Budget say 500 or lesser. :(
Just need it for info,not sure if i can buy

No help :( ?

There are lots.
But make sure, you buy one with Analog controller.

I bought one later to find that its of Old-Playstation-designed-controller.
At that time, i was not aware of these things thou! :razz:

Keyboard and mouse is best for GTA 4 kinda games cuz.. These games require Aiming to shoot which is hard in Gamepad

Yeah correct one. I have XBOX wiered controller, and tried playing GTA San Andreas. Not so comfortable. KB+Mouse combo is better in GTA.
But for Darksider you should get a controller. Its awsome playing with it. And I will also suggest to save some money and get the Xbox controller.

Whenever I try to play FPS with controller. I either shoot at sky or ground. :oops:

@theserpent :- You can close origin , shut down Windows, Restart it anything.. The download will resume. I am downloading Battlefield since 1 week :banghead: Still 82 % :facepalm:. One time a problem occured when the net was slow, it was saying "Unale to connect origin, you have to download BF3 again".. something like that. I just ignore that and Tried resuming after some time and it resume downloading.

Gta 4 plays good with controller . All those shooter game that has auto aim plays good with controller . Fifa , third person shooter games , skyrim plays very well with controllers .
And for bf3 , you can copy the entire game + update from your friend . I did it when my hard disk was replaced . And as soon as good offer comes for bf3 buy it asap . You are missing biggest multiplayer shooter game.

Shooting games are never meant for controller. Racing, hack n slash, adventure games are for controller.
