playing pc games with xbox 360 controller

[|Legend| Ghost]

can I play games like the crew, assassin's creed unity and far cry 4 in my pc with a xbox 360 controller?

Even if there is no support, you can use Xpadder to emulate keystrokes. It works with any game and any controller. There are free versions and paid for version out there. I have the last free version and had to use it a few months ago when SOE broke controller support for Planetside 2. I dont normally need it, but I keep it installed because once in a while, it comes in handy.

yes you can use an xbox 360 controller for the crew.

[hrolkrug]

you can play virtually every pc game made in the last 6 years and it will have built in 360 controller support

thanks everyone, just one more question i don't have a xbox 360 controller but i was thinking to buy a thrustmaster controller (thrustmaster GPX) and i don't know if i will work, can you answer me that question please? and thanks.

Get the DS4. It will save you the hassle of knowing if the controller supports XInput. There XInput programs designed for the DS4. Look up DS4Windows and profit.

Or just save the DS4 hassle, get whatever you want an 360/Xbone controller will automatically work on win without any additional software. GPX is actually an 360 controller so no problems, if you have problems with it, download drivers on Trustmaster site

In my experience, The Crew and Unity play better with a controller (vs keyboard and mouse). I couldn't say what Far Cry 4's controller support is like as the game won't load while my 360 pad is plugged in. So I can only play that one with mouse and keyboard.

Plug in game pad after the game is already loaded. It also natively supports Dualshock 4 and displays the PSX icons. However, I prefer the kb/m controls. The game handles very well with KB/M, even driving.

just buy an xbox one controller and never worry about the user interface not matching your butotns or compatability issues.

getting a DS would be a terrible mistake. go plug n play.

Recent games for the PC recognize X360 controllers. Windows detects and you can calibrate it with no need for software. What I like especially is when there are tutorials, and they usually 99% of the time show the button mapping on screen for the controller. Some recent examples: Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor, The castlevania games, Darksiders series, watchdogs, Alien Isolation, and pretty much ever action/shooter on the PC. Plus 360 controllers are cheap, I recommend a wired one, I tried wireless with my PC, but i hate it when the batteries die in the middle of a game, I will never go wireless again.

DS isn't a terrible mistake just because you have to run 1 program, which actually adds more functionality over a normal gamepad like allowing you to assign KB/M buttons to gamepad, or assigning mouse movement to buttons or analog sticks.

However, it isn't directly plug in play in all games. You do have to download that one program to make it compatible with xinput only games.(xbox 360 gamepad supported games)
