I've been reading through a lot of forums, discussions and articles concerning the shocking lack of controller support for pretty much all Mass Effect titles, with ME3 being the most hard to understand. I can not fathom out how a major title release such as ME3 from a studio as 'reputable' as Bioware can release it without support for all playing methods. It's just crazy.

However the biggest insult is by then not doing anything about it, and if what I have read in this very thread is true that they have denied anyone from modding ME3 to be able to use a controller 'nicely' is just plain nasty. I do not claim to understand a fraction of what goes into producing a game the scale of ME3, but how hard can it be to release a patch or an update to allow native controller support?

This subject really has annoyed me greatly, and it seems I'm by not stretch of the imagination alone in this!

I am new to all this, so please I apologize if I am out there. I really enjoy Mass Effect 1-3 (I have it on PC, XBOX, and PS3) I purchased this program called the pinnacle game profiler for PC and I agree with a few people here PC is a way better platform for Mass Effect its totally awesome! I still play the game on multiconsoles, but I didnt have any trouble hooking up my controllers once I got the settings correct to my PC, also I did find even with a controller on the PC the game play was fairly the same as the consoles, so I prefer keyboard and mouse for perfection on PC still. Does anyone know how to get your controllers to be as responsive as the mouse and keyboard?

The lack of controller support is precisely the reason why I haven't bought the PC version.  When it comes to shooting, I'm just better with a controller.

I'm sorry but emulators like pinnacle are trash for games like this, doesn't have ergonomic native UI that games like this should have for controller users

The lack of official response just shows apathy from Bioware. I wonder what it would cost them in development and testing to add full gamepad functionality. Obviously too much for the massive customer satisfaction for the legion of existing fans/owners, and significant additional sales from people like me.

All message threads related to ME-3 are consigned strictly to that game's own forums.  All tech support forums on the Social Site are closed, with any tech questions now directed to Answer HQ.

why would anyone want to use a controller on a PC, I would only for racing games

[chris_who]

How did this turn into an argument between which is best joypad or keyboard & mouse,it started of as a fan of the series asking bioware to simple add a feature that almost all games that are on both pc and game stations. especially since it is the third game in a very popular series. i like games that automatically create key-bindings for the joy-pad it makes things less of a hassle, it can be difficult custom making your bindings for a game like mass effect

Still holding off buying this game until there is proper controller support on the PC. Keyboard / Mouse may be better for some users but I prefer controller. Every other game I have on PC can use both without issue ME2/3 are the only ones that cant.

Boggles my mind as to why people are creating stupid ending mods and not native controller support. Granted I know nothing about coding

I should have read this thread before buying it and all the DLC... I tried third party stuff to get it working, but it still just feels wrong and doesn't work.

I grew up on PC gaming and it looks like a lot of work went into making the PC ports UI, but, boy do I hate playing this game with a keyboard and mouse... it just doesn't feel right. I really want to play it, but can't get into it without a controller. I should have just dusted off my 360... bleh.

Those framerates are precisely the reason I don't want to play it on the PS3/360.  I'm so very tempted to buy it on one of those platforms, but I don't want to regret the framerate and visuals.  And I find it sad that I have to compromise input for graphic fidelity and smooth gameplay.  

I would greatly appreciate if Bioware went back, and patched in controller support to the franchise as a whole.  I may have even bought the trilogy again, after owning all three, if it had been released with controller support on PC (though that would probably backfire with the community).

We know they have the code for it, it can not take more than a days work to patch it back in.  A different executable that supports ONLY gamepad would be fine by me, create a launcher that references the gamepad and standard executable and should be done.  I may be trivializing it, and I haven't looked terribly deep into how much controller code is in the PC version but I recall the first game having some references at least.  

I doubt anyone at Bioware reads these forums closely, that could make a difference here or fully explain why it's been denied.  The only explanation I can logically come to is someone at EA likes that they're different and knows there are people that will buy both.  I hate to believe in that cynicism, but EA's got a reputation for such things (earned or demonized?).  

What I would give to talk to someone within either company that could explain the reason it's not in the game.

They find if more comfortable, carpal tunnel, personal preference.  Don’t get me wrong I appreciate your and Bioware prejudice against the disabled but I'm not sure that is a good reason to not put in controller support.

I too shared this cynicism, yet most of EA's big franchises support controller's.

It's not a case of myself playing PC so I can use a keyboard and mouse, it is for getting performance that isn't mind-boggling dire in 2013

[NeoandGeo]

Bump, would like to hear a reply from Bioware on why they are wasting time and man hours taking controller support out of the 360 ports to the PC and then flat out lying to their userbase saying they didn't have enough time to code a controller UI for the PC.

[NeoandGeo]

Any official reply besides lying to the userbase would be great, Bioware.

thanks

I love playing with Mouse and Keypad.. don't think I'll ever go back to console.. or controller. But if they could come up with controller support that is as fast as the mouse that would rock!

[NeoandGeo]

Bump. Need an official statement on why Bioware ignores the fans.

[clopes999]

They refuse to solve a simple issue like being able to register your psn digital download of mass effect, 2 on this website, theres a thread about that with 2 years old, they didnt even bother to answer anything, I dont think controller support will ever be available or aknowledge as an issue....they just dont care.... ignoring customers usually is a sign of arrogance and is always a bad pollicy

I feel completely robbed of my money at this. Have this on the X360, completed it on insane, bought for the PC so i could play it with no framerate losses and the fact i can't use a controller is disappointing to say the least, a game that has been ported on both consoles should be able to play with a controller hands down, no problem. The fact they didn't give gamers this choice is pathetic.

[Aj90lfc]

Did some looking online and found this from one of their devs on twitter "It may seem minor, but our GUI team was already stretched thin, and things were coming in at the last minute, so we couldn't add more work."

If that's the case why release it for consoles and continue to make DLC for the game? Patches? OR even release it on PC or make the effort to dev the game entirely? No regard for anyone, only interested in the cash. What if people have arthritis in their arms so can't keep them constantly extended in the same position? It's a lame/poor excuse and frankly it's pathetic given how much actual time they get. They may have set release dates granted, they can always be understandable knocked back if you're "stretched thin" this is a poor response, very poor.
