They suck so I could care less. I don't use them and I don't want to buy one.

Hypocrite.

I'll be fair here.

First, I heard those don't work very well. But that's hearsay.

Second, the argument against it is that mouse and keyboard being in common usage will make their preferred control method obsolete. Rather than it being limited to a handful of people who have it, now most players will have it.

The controller crusaders who are saying everyone needs to HTFU are just afraid of the superiority that KB/M brings. They claim that they can beat KB/M, yet if they really could, they would welcome the newcomers instead of raging. In all honesty they are acting like goons, claiming that something does not matter yer opposing it because they really do fear it.

No one says that controller could beat kb/m, that's actually the whole point that kb/m users would dominate controller users which seems odd on a console system.

Hypocrite.

In short, they want it to stay as it is because they have the advantage. That's all this is. "I have the advantage because other people who play are having difficulties adjusting to an awkward control scheme."

Would you like if you played pc, loved the controls, loved the system, then the next biggest game comes out and says they are adding gamepad support. But this gamepad is 100xs better and only a small group of players from a different game system use it. It costs 100$ and you don't like the controls or anything from it.

You will probably reply with yeah I'd adapt. Then why are you playing pc and not that game system?

I won't argue this issue anymore since you pc users are set on pc. Too bad for you guys this game is on ps3

KBM requires more skill than controller does.

The problem is that the skill ceiling is a lot higher on KBM than controller.

Get your facts straight.

If it bugs you, then you can always ask for an aim assist slider.

thats the point why controller crusaders as you put it are protesting against kb/m because they have superiority. its un balanced. put it this way.

if ccp were to release a new game on PC but gave left handed players an unfair advantage. what do you think would happen? exactly the same as releasing kb/m support as is on console. some would learn to play left handed, others would just fight on right handed. but most pc players would be in uproar, and refuse to play. not giving it the player base it deserves and thus eventually dieing. as long as its balanced i dont mind.

i really really wish ccp could give us some offical word as to whats going on with it to stop these endless threads going on about it. starting to get boring.

That really depends: Is it actually better better than mouse and keyboard, as in more functional and precise, or is it artificially better by adding loads of aim assist and sucking all the skill out of the game?

If the former, I wouldn't mind much.

Also, mouse and keyboard doesn't cost 100 dollars so it isn't comparable.

See, the thing about PC gamers is that we don't mind change if it makes the game better. We're used to adapting to new things because one of the main selling points of the PC is that it is customizable to your heart's content.

Controllers have their place, just like arcade sticks, the Playstation Move, steering wheels, trackballs, and all those other input methods do.

It shouldn't be a "Gamepad only, no other control methods allowed" deal.

Well, CCP will lose a lot of its credibility if it goes back on its promise to include KB&M support.

We wouldn't be having this thread if they hadn't said they would.

But it's the fact that they DID say they were and that they have YET to do it is why so many of us are flustered. I know there are many people out there who bought Playstation 3 systems based primarily on this promise.

Edit: This post is for you folks who think we are randomly demanding KB&M support. (We're not.)
