I finally downloaded it on Steam. The controls for the PC are NUTS! Never before have I found myself yelling at my computer! "Why are you doing that?" "NO! Climb the wall!" "Why are you standing still?! MOVE!" "OMG! Why is it doing this?!" "NO! Jump DOWN!" "Why are you sneaking?! I'm not pressing the sneak button! MOVE!" "Where am I? Why can't I see?" "NO! Don't climb the wall! RUN!"

I can go on! If you are one of the developers responsible for this abhorrent control system, please post here so I can smack you upside the head!

Thats nothing. Skyrim on PC shipped without proper mouse support in menus.

I remember, Bethesda. No Fallout 4 is going to make me forget that.

They must have patched that by the time I bought it. I never had that issue and I played for nearly a thousand hours on the PC.

Oh yeah... I forgot to add to the original post... FORCED CUT SCENES ARE EVIL! I pick a battle with a captain... Wait for a minute so that the captain can insult me... Lose the battle with the captain... Start the battle over with the captain...Wait for a minute so that the captain can insult me... Lose the battle with the captain...

Oh god, that was miserable.

On the other end of the spectrum, BioWare, in her infinite wisdom, shipped Mass Effect 3 for PC without any controller support. That despite the fact that it was a pretty straight port of the XBox 360 version, and the mouse support wasn't all that great either.

And don't forget that the Mass Effect games bound all actions to one key so you would end up rolling in place rather than collecting some credits or whatever.

Movie based games that are rushed out the door are never going to be good.

I always wait a few years, than read the honest ( unpaid & unhyped ) reviews before buying "new" titles.

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.

This! In Shadow of Mordor, jump, climb, roll and run are all the same key! Stupid!

I can see it...

Designer & UX: This is so awesome! context sensitive actions. Reduces input complexity and gives so much life to the character!

Engineer: But what about all the edge cases? You know, when the context isn't obvious.. which is most of the time...

D & UX: The Edge what? You figure out the details! you like math&logic right? Just make him jump when he needs to jump, climb when he needs to climb. Easy!

Exactly!

lol stories like this are the reason why I still use my consoles. I play the more PC specific games on my PC.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
