Don't know how this thread managed to turn into yet another bisexual thread but I heartily endorse a same-sex romance toggle. People took offense to Anders' mild flirt so if I have to choose between characters being too scared to initiate romances or a toggle I'll choose the toggle every time.

Also expecting Bioware to offer support for something they didn't promise to support is disturbing and insane (@OP).

It is kinda stupid controllers are more comfotable so I feel your pain and thats why I play on 360. I dont epect them to add it, why not I dont know.

It's threads like this that cause bioware to ignore some of the good threads out there with good suggestions...

Guys.. he told you not to tell him to do these other things that makes sense. Can't you follow rules? GAWD!

But we dont like rules and changes because we do not adapt well like he does.

Oh wait I got that backwards.

Kasumi is mainstay?  As in available without extra purchases being made from the beginning?

That's sort of irrelevant to the fact that she exists.  But if you're on the PS3?  Yes, she is.

Before she was released we didn't know who she was or what she looked like.  The only thing we could probably be sure of is that she's probably a thief.  And that message over the loudspeaker could be missed.

So she exists?  Yes.
She existed as a person of Asian descent from the beginning?  Entirely unknown until she's made available.  I had at least two play throughs before I was able to download the dlc.  And though Kasumi is (primarily) a Japanese name it doesn't need to belong to someone of Asian descent.  Much like a friend of mine who is Chinese, but has name which bears a Dutch origin.

I kind of like how the thread almost turned into a sex/race derail on the flame-train thats some pro-trolling right there GG

Boggling my mind on how to raise the issue to the publisher about what PC customers want from this game, how can I show that people who don't read forums really want 360 controller support for the PC, I guess if they can view the statistics on online distribution systems like Steam they can see the numbers, maybe its small volume and its a low priority. Im seeking avenues to spread the issue. Twitter/youtube/facebook high volume & mass targeted, maybe even approach gaming websites/high population forums. Unlike this one.

People take this for granted now and they will be in for a shock especially as one previous poster put it (like myself) Having played Mass Effect 1 and 2 Dragons Age 1 on the 360 w/controller. Switching to the PC to enjoy a EA publication is a dampener to my enjoyment.

I keep thinking why EA wouldnt support 360 controller, I can not think of one, maybe they are diverting the development to Kinect instead.

Nobody cares right.

It's not some mandate from EA execs on-high.  It's the devs actually working on the game who made the decision not to support gamepads.  There are other EA games on PC from different studios that do support them.

Oh, for Christ's sake.  The original statement made and to which I was responding is that there are no Asians on the crew.  The specific details of Kasumi's development history are entirely irrelevant to the fact that she is:

a. Asian.
b. Available to be part of the crew in ME2.

And the fact that she's optional doesn't matter either.

PC 360/Controller support

PC Games w/Controller support (practially every game including The longest journey wow).  PC Games w/o controller support !!Bioware pc games!!    Not for bloody Mass Effect 1 or 2, not for Dragons Age 1 or 2 this tells me someone high up in EA/Bioware has issues likely the publisher who set rules.


Previous thread by me http://social.biowar...8/index/5890606


Look this IS insane dont tell me to take my money elsewhere, dont tell me to shut up and use keyboard and mouse, dont tell me buy a console, dont tell me this is a publisher/developement decision its insane.  

I dont think Battlefield 3 for PC will have it either.................

PC does have controller support.

It's better than consoles because you can set your own controller layout for each game and even go contoller & mouse.

I dont quite understand does Mass effect support nyko game controller or is it a controller which works on pc? basically with custom key-bindings? Im guessing its the latter

ALL PC games support Nyko controller because it is a keyboard emulator of sorts. You could surf the net with it if you wanted. If ME actually supported the controller it would have a default controls which would be inferior to making your own layout IMO. I use controller and mouse. Controller in hubs and controller/mouse in combat. Controller for movement/menus/etc. and mouse for aim/steering/interact in combat zones. I tried playing with keyboards, but it was god awful awkward. I don't se how people play shooters on keyboards. Movement is so awkward and walking would give me a hand cramp.

The Logitech F510 has support for ME1 (with force feedback). I'm not sure about ME2, but I think you have to update the drivers occasionally for the newest games. I bought a F510 when my 6 year old Nyko finally started to die out, but didn't like it and ened up up buying another Nyko Airflo. The thumb sticks on the F510 would stick and cause the camera to rotate round and round too often. Might have been a bad controller though. Also, it is smaller and the buttons didn't feel right to me.

I think for the PC a game cannot have blanket controller native support.  The controller itself has to support the game because the thumb sticks' camera/aim sensitivity isn't universal across controllers. So it might have Xbox controller native support, but no native support for another controller (like Halo 2). Because the developer assumes you will use a mouse the difficult in PC games is higher than on consoles, but it evens out. This is another reason they probably don;t want to deal with making controller support.

Mouse and Keyboard for Life. I have no idea how I would play without my beloved hotkeys. Not to mention Mouse > Thumbstick where aiming is concerned, for me at least.

Really!
Why doesn't anyone seem to know about this software?
I've been using it forever. I map movements to my game pad and can still aim with the mouse.

And people wander why pc players are considered a bunch of elitists nerds...

Personally, i can't play shooters with a controller, aiming with the thumbstick is just too awkward, and the amount of keys available trumps a controller imo.
But i'm not about to force my views on everyone, if someone wants to use a controller to Play Mass Effect, Bioware should support them.

Given the way DA2 was designed (RPG underneath but moves and looks like a beat'em up), i wanted to use my controller on it, but it wasn't supported, so i can relate.
Not that it would make that "thing" any better.

[Raizo]

I feel for you.

I personally don't play games on the PC at all, it's nothing personal against PC gaming is just that I see the PC as a tool for doing work ( even though I only use mine for browsing the web ) and I prefer to do my gaming on a dedicated gaming machine like a console. Having said that, if more PC games supported 360 controller support I would be more inclined to give PC games a chance. I not comfortable using a mouse and I am using the keys to control a video game character does not feel right and for my money gamepads don't get any better than the 360 controller.

The Kaishley lines only made it in because the team didn't bother to mark them as Meer/Hale-only, not because they were actively planning to have s/s-romances. Granted, they did consider it afterwards because they already had the lines, but decided against it because the lines themselves weren't of a high enough quality.

And if they "didn't have the balls", they wouldn't have included the FemShep/Liara romance in the first place. Or the gay romance back in Jade Empire. Or Juhani in KotOR.

Also, if those 3 to 4% of the population warrant such an extensive catering to, then what about the bigger minorities? Might as well include the option to have Shepard be left-handed, obese or to have every romanceable be black.

Or to have pc gamers play with a controller, of course.

Sensible poster is sensible.

[RPGamer13]

I agree with the dude that created the topic.

Especially for games that are Multi Platform! You already got the programming for the controls, just apply it to the PC version.

The Last Remnant
Borderlands
Witcher 2

All had controller support and I felt they were all the better for it.


ME1 wasn't too bad to use xpadder and map the controls because they didn't change anything but your input device. But ME2.... a total nightmare, you couldn't use just one configuration.

You had a different configuration for the shop menus than you did while running and gunning.


Also, you can still use those hotkeys in a game with controller support. In Witcher 2, I use a controller and I can actually press the number button hotkeys to cast a certain sign instead of having to go to the LT menu.

And it's OPTIONAL! Best of both worlds, those more comfortable can use a controller and those that prefer the mouse and keyboard can use that. It's not freaking rocket science!
