Who will use The xbox 360 gamepad and who will use m+kb.

I played GTA 4 on the xbox 360 a bit and I really liked how the game controled with the gamepad. The driving felt right, shooting was also pretty good, although I know it will be better to aim with the m+kb. Running and moving also would seem easier with the 360's joysticks. So I think I'm going to be using the xbox 360 gamepad for GTA 4. hehe I just love this thing :P

So what about everyone else, what do you think you'll use?

I have 3 gamepads but i will probably use KB+M for GTA as with previous titles

(i remember gta:SA having some problems if you FORGET to turn of option in menu "inverted camera" or something,other than that game work perfect on mouse+keyboard)

Mouse and Keys all the way - Much more precise control method.

If I ever buy it for the PC I would use the mouse and keyboard because it is a lot easier to aim that way.

For driving games i use GTR2 style default controls for keyboard!

They are really nice (they seem weird when you first try them)

A = acceleration (forward)

Y = backward

, = letf

. = right

It just feels well and you arms are nicely placed on keyboard

Exactly... How anyone sane can play GTA with a game controller is one of those mysteries of the universe I tried it on the PS2 with GTA SA, after five minutes I really wanted to throw the joypad out the window

The controls felt very good on the 360

I think if I were to get it on the PC I would use a 360 controller.

KB+M Always worked fine for me for GTA. But I got a 360 controller so I'll give both a shot and see what's better.
