Because Bioware is a special little flower.

Hmm I've never actually tried to see if the 360 controller works (mouse and keyboard work just fine). Surprised if it doesn't.

[Spawnfreak73]

trust me it doesn't

[Terca]

No, from what I have read there is no controller support. I found the controls for PC fine aside from the pain it is to use powers with the number keys (since I don't have a mouse that's programmable). If that is what is bothering you probably bind the controls differently. :/

[Revan299s]

It's just the way it is. If it bothers you that much look on google. You can find a mod for both ME 2 and 3. The one for ME2 is pretty good. the one for 3 works but has a few issues

Meh, aiming with a mouse on the PC is far more precise than the little thumbstick. Most shooter games when implemented on consoles have a degree of aim assist.

Yes yes Mouse keyboard superior PC master race rabble rabble. Here's the thing. I have more fluid motion control and can be more helpful to the team with a controller than I can with a keyboard. And I don't have to reach across the keyboard and hope that I'm hitting the 6 key in order to use an ops pack. Seriously Bioware controller support now please.

If you want to play it with a game controller buy a console. I don't complain that I can't plug a keyboard to my PS3.

Sorry if I sound kind of harsh but I don't think PC-Versions are supposed to be played with a controller (and yeah many will probaly not agree and come to hunt me down witch pitchforks.).

I've been using the Logitech controllers with keyboard and mouse mappings. It mostly works, and aiming in Mass Effect isn't so much of a problem because you can just spam powers in the general direction of enemies.

 

But, yeah, I have no idea why Bioware's games don't support controllers on the PC. I don't believe their explanation. I think they have some sort of agreement with MS or something not to use controllers on the PC so they don't attract console players from the XBox.

Alright for the stuff with ops packs usually what I do is use the following bindings (it's not a controller but it will help because these controls aren't used in Multiplayer, you might want to rebind them for the Story though).

 

Medigel on shift to make reload-cancelling easier, ops packs on E for quick use, Missiles on Q for the same reason. Ammo packs lastly on V because I rarely need to panic-spam for them. It makes using those four much easier IMO

I play PC and XBOX 360 and I'd like to play Mass Effect 3 on my PC with a controller when I'm feeling the inklings of a migraine buildup because my PC, desktop and laptop have better graphics and less pop in textures. And when we use keyboards and mice, they are a kind of game controller so it really is just a question of the design of the input device. People have the right to play with whatever makes them comfortable, whether or not other people like it and game designers sometimes provide official support for controllers.

 

[Terca]

I personally prefer the PC controls to the controls on PS3 but that's just me, I started FPS games on PC with Crysis and since then I have always been much more comfortable on PC. Depending on where you start things can be a bit odd switching between them though, and understandably so : /

[von uber]

Pff I started fps with doom and quake
Oh and Duke nukem.

Still rubbish at them though. I would be even worse with a controller.

[SNascimento]

I can only say it is a result of a lack of commitment to make the pc port good. ME2 port was ridiculous, ME3 was just slight better.

You know it's attitudes like that that make PC gamer look like snooty elitists. Anyway I do own a console and on that console I am this. I just recently acquired a gaming PC, and I got the Mass Effect trilogy to play it in glorious HD and 60 fps and all that good stuff. What I didn't know is that I was going to get a big screw you with no controller support.

[Terca]

I don't think it is a 'screw you'. I mean, you could complain about not having PS3 controller support for your Xbox and people would look at you funny. Most people who play PC games tend to like the controls, I'd say a minority do not like the controls of PC games who play on them. From Bioware's perspective it could have simply been that people who want to play the game with a gamepad will get it on a console (like you did) and people who want to play it with a keyboard and a mouse will use a PC. Odds are that the people who want to use the control set have the ability to play the games on those consoles/controls. Like you do. So really, while the lack of controller support is not great, it's not telling you to screw off. I offered above alternative keybindings in order to make things easier and you said nothing so you are obviously just looking to complain and not accept help.

Look my point is on pretty much most other PC games controller support is there. Bioshock Infinite Controller support, Saints Row 4 controller support, Borderlands 2 controller support, South Park Stick of Truth controller support, Far Cry 3 Blooddragon controller support. Of course if you don't like controllers the option to play with the keyboard and mouse is also there. Options they're a good thing.

[EatChildren]

There are more benefits to playing on PC than "keyboard + mouse", and the PC platform is supposed to embody open services and peripheral compatibility. Consoles are closed platforms, locked down with patented devices. PCs are not. The trilogy has not been designed exclusively for mouse-keyboard, but instead with full control pad compatibility. Xbox 360 pads at that, which are plug-and-play compatible with Windows PCs.

 

Ergo, there's no reason, sans for time and/or technical incompetence/laziness, that the trilogy does not have control pad support. The whole idea of playing on PC is that you're given more options of how to play your games. This is the absence of one that should be there, and so people are rightly entitled to be disappointed.

 

It's a dead horse at this point though. They screwed it, but hopefully for control pad fans they'll have out-of-the-box compatibility with Mass Effect 4.
