Uh.. but isn't it also arrogant to believe that every game should cater to your favorite custom controls instead of the controls designed for the system? o.o?
Aside from the part where the PS3 is designed to support KBM?

if any one else has an idea lets get em' out on the table.
It really is completely unimportant to balance the control schemes, as having every control scheme -available to every player- is in itself balanced.
Take for instance a fight between two equally skilled men; you give the first man a set of brass knuckles, and he says "Sweet, I'll knock his teeth in with these!" You approach the second man, and offer him the same set of brass knuckles, he responds "I don't need those to kick his ass!"
The obvious outcome, is that the first man pummels the second man, due to the advantage of having brass knuckles. However, it would be illogical to say that the fight was unfair - both men were offered the same weapon; one took advantage of it, and the other did not.
The same logic applies to KBM vs DS3, maybe not quite so dramatically, but I'm sure you can take from this the point I have made.
Edit: I am proud of this little essay.. Off to the feedback section!
Edit 2: I am not saying that a DS3 user is always going to be dominated by a KBM user, I have some friends who are VERY skilled with gamepads, and will dominate me regardless of what control scheme I choose to use. KBM provides an advantage, that is absolutely true; but a DS3 user that out skills a KBM user will still win. |

No, you've just decided to be ignorant about it. This analogy works perfectly well, and I will continue to use it. |
