WRONG.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes from BioWare community manager, Chris Priestly, who confirmed on the forums that &#8220;The PC version does not support controllers. They may or may not work, but they are unsupported by the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The post has subsequently generated quite a bit of controversy, with several users responding with entire treatises on why the decision is a bad one, and somebody called Anachronian Stryx coming in with the definitive zinger, &#8220;Still mind-boggeling that you guys\u00a0 got less costumization that a bug-standard indie development studio.&#8221; (sic)<\/p>\n<p>OH, SNAP. I think. Still, it&#8217;s not like the first two games supported controllers on PC, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s already finished up and packed off to the disc factory, so if BioWare&#8217;s going to add controller support, it&#8217;ll have to be in a patch.<\/p>\n<p>Mass Effect 3 is out on 9 March, with controller support on Xbox and PS3, and better graphics on PC.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/social.bioware.com\/forums\/forum\/Mass-Effect-3\/Mass-Effect-3-General-Discussion-No-ME3-Spoilers-allowed\/Please-include-360-controller-support-on-PC-version-9118270-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">BioWare forums<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m Commander Shepard and what is this I don&#8217;t even<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":31275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[31,427,2394,423],"class_list":["post-32527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-active","tag-bioware","tag-controller-support","tag-mass-effect-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32527"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32540,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32527\/revisions\/32540"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
