Will the PC version have 360 Controller support? Anyone know yet? I prefer my 3rd person games with controller.
Mass Effect 2
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jan 26, 2010
After a violent death by an unknown force and a timely reanimation by the human supremacist organization Cerberus, Commander Shepard must assemble a new squad in the seedier side of the galaxy for a suicide mission in the second installment of the "Mass Effect" trilogy.
Will PC version have 360 Controller support?
"i'm totally sure it will. aren't all games for windows live games supposed to hate x360 controller support? "
Yeah, and beyond that most games nowadays have 360 controller support anyway. Even indie games like "The Path" has 360 controller support, as does "And Yet It Moves".
"It won't because Pc version was designed with action bars user interface and the Radial wheel that 360 version has is going to be ommitted. "
Yeah, the created it specifically for the PC. Mouse and keyboard.
The mouse and keyboard is way more quicker and accurate when it comes to aiming BUT i just love using the 360 controller when it comes to 3rd person games and if you have a big enough monitor you can sit back in the sofa and play it. Anyway if this game does not support the 360 controller you can always use the software "Pinnacle Game Profiler" it absolutely works with every game including mass effect 1 and you can really fine tune it close enough to be just like the 360 or dowload pofiles made by other users, the only problem is after downloading the trial version of this software you have to pay for it when it expires if you wish to continue using it, but it's worth given it a try. Make sure you download the Beta 5 patch or later, without it I couldn't use it on my latest games.
Hope this helps
What a sterling example of the modern console generation. Keep drooling on those controllers kids.... it's all a secret plot by the North Koreans so they can use their PC RTS skills to invade America." I'm playing an action-RPG, so it doesn't even matter that hard. It's not like you need to aim particularly well or fast. "
Does it matter about the controller if it's wireless? i've been reading how it doesn't work with vista, it doesn't pick up the signal that well and refuses to connect, otherwise I might of bought a xbox360 controller if I could find a wired one. I hope that has a usb slot if you take the wire in half. Must be great how you can just plug a microsoft controller and everything works like a console immediately.
Who the fuck cares? Both ways work equally well, I've had fun playing games both control styles, I'd just rather play something like an RPG with the most comfortable method possible. I'm gonna be sitting there for hours compared to FPS games, so I might as well relax.
PC v. Console fanboy wars are retarded, and so's anyone who propagates them.
Hmm" @Buzzkill: What a sterling example of a typical PC nerd. An elitist prick who feels the need to criticize people who'd rather relax on a couch with a controller ergonomically shaped to their hands, than hunch over on a office chair, looking into a tiny monitor, and using a mouse and keyboard just because it might improve performance.

Ahh wikipedia links. The height of classy humor. Go read a dictionary sir, or read my post again. I don't take a side in the console wars. I play both PC and Consoles, I just, in this case, prefer using a controller due to the comfort it provides.
@Buzzkill:
Well ya did tell me to keep drooling on my controller, so yep... you can go fuck your little brother or something.
" @Binman88:Lol. Have a reread of your post, maybe you'll realise what I meant. I won't hold my breath!

Uhm what? Radial Menu? Where? Maybe during conversations, but we'll manage seeing as in ME1 it converted mouse movement perfectly in conversations.
I wonder if the 360 controller can make use of the quick slot mapping though, since they have improved it by miles. You can actually map your teammates skill onto your quick slots! :-O
" I feel like this game was meant for the 360 controller, what with it being called a "Radial Menu" and all. That sucks for PC owners who want it though, but I'm sure they'll deal. "lol interface is better on pc, but im sure you will enjoy ur radial menu never knowing better
and mouse + keyboard allows for more types of keystrokes so therefore more complicated/detailed games, along with that little accuracy thing
" @Binman88: Okay I reread it.I merely pointed out that you provided fuel to the system war's fire, and then called people who do that 'retarded'. I thought it was a bit ironic. Are you calling me a fanboy of pointing out irony?
@XII_Sniper said:Who the fuck cares? Both ways work equally well, I've had fun playing games both control stylesBut please do hold your breath, don't bother stopping, even. It'll make the world a better place. I'm sick dealing with idiot fanboys. "
I don't even know what you were trying to do. Look smart or something? I dunno, pointing that kinda shit out isn't even relevant.
I don't see how I provided any fuel to the fire. I was defending consoles cus they were getting bashed. I'll defend PCs when they're getting bashed, but the PC fanboys are waay to aggressive about it anyway, not a whole lot to defend at the moment. The real thing I was bashing was being a PC nerd about it. It's the same kinda prick who goes out of their way to eat organic food, or cane sugar. Sure those things are good and fine, but you look like a dick for bashing other people's choices.

The pure vitriol you spit out when you first posted was uncalled for.
On topic: I also would have liked 360 controller support, especially if it had rumble. I'm a sucker for rumble. :D
