hella bullets that's true
I'm glad I don't like Mass Effect games because ME3 news has been nothing but let-downs it would seem.

Funny thing is the PC controls aren't even good. You have to cycle through weapons one at a time like in ME2, in ME1 you could bind each of your 4 weapons to a key (F keys by default). Also there are no menu shortcuts like ME1 (to go to Journal you have to press escape then click the Journal panel, rather than press J like in ME1).usually games are ported entirely to pc without any modification. in bioware case they always create a unique interface that fit pc gaming.
i understand why people are angry but for people who play with k/m they rather have good good pc interface than gamepad support.
Lol Wut? Some of the most popular PC games are practically unplayable without a 360 controller including Batman and Assassin's Creed. You know, PC gaming exists outside of WoW, Starcraft and TF2.
I don't care about pad support. To me a Dev never has to take on a secondary control scheme if they don't want to so long as they properly support the platforms main method.
Sadly this isn't the case, or at least no default. I will need to check and see if remapping fixes my issues like it did for some people.

^ pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole issue. Too many times I have played games with joypad support that do not take advantage of the mouse and keyboard. Many games with joypad support on the PC are inherently too easy with the mouse and keyboard. In my view a game balanced PROPERLY for the mouse and keyboard will be next too unplayable with a joypad.
Now ordinarily I would be going "yeah Bioware you go girl, support the PC's native control scheme". However the fact that mouse and keyboard control in ME 3 is so atrocious, limited and restricted by the consoles use of joypads I can't stand on Bioware's side with this one. They made zero effort to balance this game and take advantage of the PC's unique control scheme, they might as well have chucked joypad control in there anyway.
The simple reason why there is no joypad support is because Bioware couldn't be arsed to do it. It is pretty obvious that they just didn't care about the PC version and have shoved a crappy lazy port out the door.
The 360 controller is the greatest innovation in PC gaming in the last 5 years.....and yeah SSDs are great too...
Why play Mass Effect 3 on PC with a gamepad when there's the superior keyboard and mouse?

Know what that is? That's an off-the-top-of-my-head list of studios which manage to ship PC games with a good UI for both input methods.
To add to this....
38 Studios and Big Huge Games with their first game "Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning" managed to support both KB/M and 360 Controller support and it was their first game, which happens to be published by EA as well. If they could fucking do it, why cant BioWare do it?

You guys should be happy that they're even bring it to PC in the first place. What a bunch of entitled elitist whiners.

If ME1 and 2 are any indication, Xpadder (or another key mapper) is going to be your best bet.The PC modding community will surely fix this issue, correct?
Because hell if i'm going back to being hunched over a desk for a RPG like this. Hooking up my gaming PC to my TV is one of the best things I have ever done.
Mass Effect 3 is not a racing, fighting or sports game, therefore it does not need gamepad support on PC.
They aren't bringing it to PC to be nice, they are doing it to make money and they will. Also they are doing it to push more people towards Origin.
I should be happy Electronic Arts likes to make money?

Steam sales bro.
And seriously... "industry standard controller for PC"? It is an Xbox controller... It isn't a PC standard.
These new juniors deliver, EviLore. This is the best batch in years
I think some folks here would be shocked by how surprised people IN THIS INDUSTRY react when the prospect of using a gamepad for a PC game is suggested. Just happened to me last week. Talking about a 3rd person action game where the console versions are lead SKUs. The thought of using a wired 360 controller for the PC version? They looked at me like I was nuts... "Why would anyone play a PC game with a control pad?" they asked. So this isn't that surprising, but lame that they don't even put it in there as an option.
There are even some PC gaming zealots among them, check this gold out: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=35163635&postcount=8

That's one thing we definitely agree on. The best PC gaming-related 40 bucks I've ever spent was on this 360 wireless controller. I seriously could not game without it anymore, unless it's an rts or moba. If a game doesn't support it or xpadder I just won't buy it, period. It's that important to me.The 360 controller is the greatest innovation in PC gaming in the last 5 years
Lazy development on whose part? Certainly not Bioware's?! ::snort::
1. Jade empire isn't in the Mass effect series is it?
2. LTI Gray Matter did the PC port of Jade Empire
