My 360 Wireless Controller died.
Sure some games I used the keyboard but others needed my 360 Controller. It became a part of me I had never noticed and now it's... it's gone.
How am I supposed to finish Overlord, play Assasin's Creed, Lego Star Wars?
I curse the person on this board who suggested that I get a 360 Controller! It's the best controller, it works so well, yadda yadda yadda...
And now look at me... Overlord can't be finished, I'm walking into walls in Lego Star Wars, GRID has remained untouched since the controller died. We are talking GRID here. This is a game that hasn't been left untouched for more than two hours since I first got it and now all I can do is look blankly at it.
I am utterly lost without my 360 Controller.

I used a wired one on my PC and it always works flawlessly. I went to gamestop and just picked on up that was used for about $20...maybe you could do the same. Idk, sry to hear it broke on ya.

Even though I don’t like the Xbox 360 I do like the 360 controller, it’s very comfortable and it’s ideal for racing games like Need For Speed and GRID.

Recently I’ve using it to play retro games such as the ones you can find on gamersTap, I just can’t imagine playing Final Fight with a keyboard. It’s also handy for use on Emulators for old consoles like the NES and SNES.

That's unusual; I've never heard of a 360 controller "dying" but I don't doubt that it could happen. Were you doing anything unusual, or did it just randomly stop working?

If you stop throwing your controller at the screen when you die it will last longer! :non:

 

Just kidding, but really I feel for you. :sweat: I dont use a controller but if my keyboard stopped working I would have a hard time finishing STALKER CS or playing Zombie Panic.

I bought a cheapy saitek controller (£10) for GRID and its ace, go buy one and at least you will be able to play that! Nothing better than ramming a frenchie off the road ;) hahaha
