AMD has 80% of it’s hardware in consoles, I say boycott AMD. Personaly the game looks dum any way. Also why would you want to support game devs that don’t care about their fans.

If you really want it badly rent a console and rent the game. use an emulator play the game any way.

Absolutely, thank you for making that point. Most importantly my future considerations will start from there :)

Some games just don’t work with M/KB, period. Accept this. Live with it. Deal with the fact that sometimes – just sometimes – you might have to use a different controller. This is not because the developers are lazy and out to ruin the purity of the PC platform, it’s because the game just doesn’t work right with any other control setup.

What does this have to do with what I said? I have a 360 gamepad for games like this because I play quite a few racing games too. It still doesn’t make it ok to neglect people who do not. PC is all about the choice. Some people may choose not to buy a peripheral they don’t need for a single game. Capcom seemed to forget about that. They’re not lazy? Tell me why then instead of trying to at least slightly rectify the problem in a way I suggested, they just left the controls in such an awful shape instead?

Say, let’s imagine that Resident Evil 5 PC gets stricken by random unlikely chance and somehow emerges with no mouse aiming(again, it’s just an example because I’m pretty certain RE5 PC will have proper PC shooter controls and a generally great port), full gamepad support though. Your logic dictates that it’s ok, because you can always just buy a gamepad and so on and so forth, but here’s the thing: there is no logic, you’re just being absurd and are trying to blame people who have nothing to do with the problem instead of its source. And it doesn’t even have to do with PC shooter controls being better by principle, it’s just about the fact that PC games need to have proper Kb/M controls no matter the game and if they don’t, they should be panned by reviewers.

Oh, and just FYI, I actually have played IL Sturmovik with Kb/M. It’s workable, more than I would imagine DMC4 Kb/M controls are(never tried them, again, because I just used a gamepad).

If you see contradiction you surely misunderstood me, and i’m sorry about that… but instead of just claiming it pointlessly you should try to explain me where and how, even tho we all know the whole internet business is the old “throw shit at each other” game until one chokes. :)

if you want to straighten the thing out im at th3ava7ar@hotmail.com
cause i don’t think these messy places are fit for the clarity you might seek.

Apart from being sorry I completely agree with Dominic’s standpoint and seriously think anyone who doesn’t is eaither stupid or refusing to see some basic sense…

Sad, sad…

The main point of my post was to convince you that eradicating action games would not automatically make hardcore rpgs and adventures prosper, so if I got you to start considering that possibility, I’m satisfied.

I still very strongly disagree with you about the supposed mindlessness of action games and intellectual superiority of adventures, but since the reply I wrote turned out way too big (I seem unable to write short, to the point texts) and since that wasn’t my main point anyway, I’ll leave it the way it is.

Some games just don’t work with M/KB, period. Accept this. Live with it. Deal with the fact that sometimes – just sometimes – you might have to use a different controller. This is not because the developers are lazy and out to ruin the purity of the PC platform, it’s because the game just doesn’t work right with any other control setup.

Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to rage about how badly Dawn of War 2 plays with a steering wheel.

As mentioned, as good as mouse/keyboard is for FPS’s and RTS’s, it has a grand total of two analogue axes to play with.
