games that are older than like 2010 or maybe 2009 will not work well with controllers... there might be some exceptions to this but back then PC controller support was absolutely garbage to say the least.
that only slowly changed mid last gen when Consoles dominated so hard that every game, even Crysis 2 and 3, were targeting Console first and PC third... after Handhelds lol...
back then the 360 controller also slowly became the PC standard for controllers, so many Devs that already made the game for 360 just kept the controller options from that version in the PC version.
