Yeah, I too keep an Xbox Controller for games where I don't need or want the precision of the mouse an keyboard (I'm actually a big fan of varying my input device to the game, with a force-feedback wheel and pedals, a HOTAS Joystick with detachable throttle currently). Even assuming I wanted to use a mouse for Dead Space, it's not really that hard to overcome mouse acceleration problems. What will bother me, however, is all the little details in bad ports that I'm compelled to try and fix. I end up spending as much time playing the game as I do tweaking it. =/Jbowdown said:I wouldn't sweat buying it for the PC. I have the Steam version and my rig didn't generally have any of the issues that Ilikemilkshake had. But I can't deny that the problems don't exist for various users, because every rig is different (both in hardware and actively running software). The mouse didn't bother me since I did play it with a XBox controller for the 'console' feel. It's my personal preference, but many of these types of single player games I prefer to sit back with a controller vs. leaning over my keyboard.Cry Wolf said:Well, thats a fucking downer. My place recently got a PS3, so I suppose I could grab it for that - but I've been hesitant to buy games for a shared console. Still, if it's half as good as it was made out to be I wont regret it. I wish PC ports weren't typically half-arsed. =/Ilikemilkshake said:If you're buying it on PC be warned, it's possibly one of the worst ports i've ever encountered.Cry Wolf said:I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say this; you just sold a copy of at least the first Dead Space to me (and likely the second if it's a reasonable price). That is pretty impressive, I don't think I've ever bought a game because somebody on the internet has told me it was good (and more to the point, why it was good). I've certainly looked into games on recommendation - but I'm going all the way and buying it.Jimothy Sterling said:Dead Space - The Best New IP This Generation?

Assuming it doesn't crash on me, the FPS is terrible, it has awful mouse acceleration, it has bad screen tear and if you turn on the V-sync it basically breaks the game.
OT: This video makes me sad. I really would love to play DS but the problems I mentioned above basically mean I can't.
