But there are other types of games that work much better with a controller, including platformers, fighters (although obviously an arcade stick is the best option there), beat-em-ups, racing games, and most action or RPG games that have a heavy focus on melee combat.
And any developer that gives me hundreds of hours of gameplay, some of the best combat ever included in a video game, and one of the most interesting fantasy worlds of any RPG out there, can yes please take my money.
