Far Cry 3 + Vorp X + PS3 Controller = X and Y axis issues???
So I've had my Rift for a week or so and, like everyone else, am blown away. I downloaded most of the unity demos and such (Titans of Space, Spacewalk, Riftcoaster, and Lost in the Rift are my favorite). I even broke down and bought VorpX at $40.
Far Cry 3 crashed a couple times but now runs perfectly with VorpX. All I have to do is start VorpX and start Far Cry 3 and works in Oculus. HOWEVER, I use a PS3 controller with MotionJoy to play games currently, and when I select the 'gamepad' option in Far Cry 3 it takes away the X and Y axis movements from the Rift. I can use the right stick, but I want to use my rift to look around. I disabled the Right Stick controls in Motion Joy, but I still don't have movements from the Rift (or the Right Stick).
Is there a way to use the controller as well as the Rift? It's really shitting playing with keyboard and mouse and feels much more natural with controller. Any ideas would be appreciated!

- I just started playing Far Cry 3 at the weekend using Tridef, though I think I will run it with Vorpx next time and see if it looks any better.
I disable the gamepad option in game and use a wireless 360 gameapad and Xpadder which uses your controller to emulate a keyboard and mouse while still allowing you to use your Rift. I think it costs about $10 and should work with any controller.
It works perfectly for the games I have tried:
Modern Warfare 1- 3
COD World at War
Skyrim
Dead Island
Far Cry 3
Stalker SOC and COP
Half Life 2 (though having to use the right thumbstick to aim your gun is not what I'm used to)
Left for Dead 1 and 2
Outlast
It struggles a bit with games that force gamepad if one is detected, like Metro 2033 and GTAIV where the right stick and Rift seem to battle for control. Still very playable though.
I agree that being able to stand up with a controller adds that level of immersion you just can't get sitting at your desk. I don't think I've played a game that way in 2D since November.
