"The controls are 2nd to the worst controls we've seen ever since Path of Neo came to the PC platforms."

This is likely what's going to be synonymous with whatifgaming.com when I hear of them for some time to come...http://whatifgaming.com/gta-iv-for-pc-very-doubtful

I remember when that was posted as "news" LOL Most people didn't take them seriously.

However, maybe they've improved or actually got the above wrong although with honest intentions, because this isn't the first time I've heard of control issues. Still not quite convinced yet that is the case and I'd like to hear more about the PC version, but if it is, the 360 controller is always a plan B option.

Sounds more like their opinion about the controls than an analysis on how they work. And is there anything stopping people from changing the controls or using a gamepad?

I'm sure they're blowing it way out proportion. I own DMC4 and RE4 on PC and, according to some, the DMC4 and RE4 PC versions had "bad" controls yet i found the KB/Mouse for those games very natural (I do for all games for the most part however) and they worked perfectly for me. To each his own i guess.

Like i said, to each his own. They worked perfectly for me. However, I have been a PC gamer for a long time (since 1990 when i started gaming) so playing a game using something other than KB/Mouse is rare for me nowadays. The controls felt good to me. I almost enjoyed certain aspects of it more with a KB/Mouse like the Q and E keys being quick switches for ranged and melee weapons. Felt more natural to me. Splinter Cell titles all worked perfectly on PC (and better). I don't know how anyone could have a problem with that game. The only issue i can think of that someone might have with it is using the mouse scroll to control how fast you're walking/running. Which was very easy to use IMO. Otherwise it was perfect. Even then, everything can be mapped on the KB/Mouse how you want it. Like i said though, to each his own.

As long as the 360 controller works the same way it does when you play on the Xbox, I don't think controls will be a problem.

Yeah, I'm definitely not taking anyone's word for it quite yet either.

However, what I've read is that with Dead Space it's not so much a problem with control configuration (or if anything, configuration is in addition to), but rather with a tremendous amount of lag and unresponsiveness when using kb+m, perhaps even intentionally coded that way.

If that's true, it's not something I'd even want to become accustomed to, I'd probably choose a gamepad.

lol who bumped this old thread. I have the PC version and the controls seem fine for me. Make sure you go to options/visuals to turn off Vsync. Its on and if you turn this off the controls become 1000x better.

the controls problems are caused by v-sync bug, if one turns it off the game plays flawlessly on KB and mouse

i actually have one of those $20 gamepad from logitech looks like the ps2 controller. Using it pretty nicely. Problem is tho, some games dont recognize it well (gotta set manually) or cannot literally find the gamepad at all. I might get 360 gamepad for pc since i heard lots of good things about it.
