Ugh, FFS.

I fail to see why this game would be better on a PC than on a console.

I guess for people who don't have a console then fine...

But to control this game effectively you WILL need a gamepad of some description with two analog sticks and various extra buttons. If you're gonna use a gamepad then why not go the whole way and get the console version?

uh no? WSAD + mouse. Space as up/jump, ctrl (or whatever you prefer) for crouch/down. Attack and weapon counter as mouse buttons. I think it would work just fine.

Yep, BiG D speaks the truth. WASD is far superior to controllers in every game type apart from maybe racing games.

Controllers are the jack of all trades, and master of none.

Being mainly a PC gamer I have a lot of trouble using a console gamepad, except for the old SNES ones though as I have one of those....

I am a much bigger fan of the mouse and keyboard, and occasionally the joystick though that's only when I'm playing TIE-Fighter.

I really am looking forward to Mirror's Edge, I believe I have it pre-ordered currently....

Keyboard + mouse >>>>>>>>> any gamepad

Which is why they don't let console/PC gamers play online together.

Not familiar with Shadowrun, then?

Mouse/Keyboard is ideal for shooters. Otherwise, you'll find things much less clear cut.

I meant FPS games.. sorry for not being more concise but I figured it'd be obvious

Shadowrun is an FPS...

Shadowrun is an FPS...

Really? I always thought shadowrun games were RPG's. And didn't I hear it has a subscription?

Anyway sounds like an unfair advantage if it's a true FPS (i.e. headshots etc = more dmg).

Shadowrun for Xbox 360, and Games for Windows...

Didn't that come with the Halo3 beta key?

 

[Iron_fist]

no that was crackdown
