Since the first Mass Effect I have only played using the Keyboard and Mouse, didn't even bother to make use of my 360 controller. This post is the first time I am hearing that ME1 & 2 do not "officially" support controllers, and I figured, oh well no skin off my back, I'll just keep using the KB/Mouse like I have been.
To me it seems as though the PC crowd has blown this way out of proportion. And if you step back you will notice that gamers in general like to complain A LOT. I'll agree that sometimes the complaints hold merit (e.g. RAGE no advanced graphics options), but there are plenty people who love complaining just because they can. The internet has given everyone a voice, and boy do they like to voice their opinion.
Also bearing in mind that games on consoles have a limited amount of buttons and it is a factor when it comes to game design, how to intuitively integrate all the controls for weapon selection, inventory management etc. By design these systems are vastly different from what the PC crowd has become used to in the past. I would like to see the difference between the PC version and the console version in terms of controls & UI. If anything PC gamers should be excited that the game was not just a port from the console, or vice versa for console gamers, and that both PC and Console versions have been designed for their respective platforms specifically.
I remember how PC gamers were furious when some games felt like Console ports with "dumbed down" controls, or had Console like UI & inventory systems in place, or in general strayed from the typical PC look and feel. (Dragon Age 2 anyone?)
Am I seeing the opposite here where PC gamers are wanting a more console-like version of the game? I hear that the PC crowd want options, but honestly how did you play ME1 & 2 on PC? With a controller....?
