Meh, I'm sure there will be a controller wrapper, just like with most of Bioware's PC games
I don't really see x padder recreating the analog movement properly. Last night, I tested the demo out with my G13 keyboard. I put wasd on the analog joystick, and was having problems with the cover system. I have no experience with the program but I don't see it being that good.
It's getting that way. I consider it the standard for PC now.
The standard controller(s) for PC is mouse and keyboard. Every PC game supports mouse and keyboard unless it's an absolutely horrible port like RE4 that didn't have mouse support. The 360 pad is standard for games that support gamepads because most of those games are X360 ports and MS decided to create a new API (xinput) that only supports the X360 controller and none of the hundreds of DirectInput devices that have been released over the years. As such, developers just stick with Xinput because supporting one API is much easier than supporting two.
As for ME3, I assume the reason they don't support gamepads is because they'd have to change the UI. Since they already have a UI designed for the X360/PS3, I'm not sure why they couldn't just switch to it if the player uses a gamepad. In any case, I'm not very broken up about it because M/KB is objectively superior (a mouse is undeniably faster and more precise than an analog stick) for shooters.

There is absolutely no need for the precision of a mouse in Mass Effect. The gamepad is more than enough no matter which difficulty setting you're playing at, and ergonomically it's objectively superior.
wow.. what a shitty response.
Doesn't seem like they care too much, either.

Honest question. Why would I want to press W + D? To move diagonally? I cant think of any reason to do this be it sneaking, walking or running. Sometimes I do for the sake of it (while not in combat or doing anything special) but not because I have to.I'm assuming that is some sort of speed toggle? So you're saying that pushing W + D with your index + middle finger while simultaneously holding shift with your pinky is preferable to pushing an analog stick 2 cm with your thumb? That's a fine example of the point I've been trying to make this whole time.
is this thread serious? why do you need pad support when it plays so much better on keyboard and mouse and the interface is perfect for pc? my god, people need to stop whining about the wrong things when it comes to pc gaming. WHat you should be complaining about is the FOV, the animations, the no holstering animation because consoles ram coudlnt handle it so they took out the animation in order to give us roll animation, yet they dont bother to use the pcs memory to add holstering. No high res textures again on the armor. If youre going to complain about something, do it about something that is worthwhile. If you play with a pad, go play on console. This game runs amazing on keyboard and mouse. I seriously question how many of you complainign about this are actually buying the game and how many of you are actually pc gamers. Pad support on ME, my god. Then you complain it suffers from consolitis, yet you are asking for it.
Because the greatest thing about PC gaming is options. Get out of here with your nonsense.is this thread serious? why do you need pad support when it plays so much better on keyboard and mouse and the interface is perfect for pc? my god, people need to stop whining about the wrong things when it comes to pc gaming.

"There is a development cost in terms of time/effort to get all the graphical user interfaces so 360 buttons show up on PC," senior designer Manveer Heir explained to Eurogamer reader j0hn385 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."
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-why-pc-mass-effect-3-doesnt-support-gamepads"Definitely not 'we don't give a damn'," Manveer Heir riposted. "It's unfortunate and I understand why people are upset, but there are dev realities, sadly."
As far as I am aware the kb&m controls are gimped BECAUSE it was on consoles, so those controls aren't even implemented correctly. Joy2key and xpadder are some options but that does not mean it will be as easy as straight gamepad support. We are not being hypocrites, this game is a PORT, there was no point in taking out gamepad support.haha, my god. So sad to see these kind of things. Options. Yes, you want options, but when we get pad support you all complain that it is dumbed down and there are not even proper pc controls. You are all hypocrites. Go play on consoles if you want pad. For pc, stick with your MAIN controls. Oh, and before i forget. The options are there. Xpadder, joy2key, etc. So options are there, just because the developer doesnt put them, doesnt mean you should all whine about it, specially for being such a small niche like this. Complain about the real stuff. Graphics, FOV, console mp mode, no enogh hotkeys, etc.

ugh, dissapointing. I think this was the difference between a day 1 $60 and day 365 on steam for $5 for me
Stop addressing the forum as though it was a monolithic entity and stop making passionate posts in topics you haven't bothered to read first. These two tips will help your discourse immensely.
First though, I want you to go and put a few laps in on rFactor. Using a keyboard.

I should try out some fighting games with keyboard. Sounds easy, right?

Did you just put 'noobs' and 'nerds' in the same post?
Shouldn't you be busy playing an FPS on Xbox Live?
