You could just plug in your wired 360 controller.

Yeahh if I had one?
Also many PC gamers (me for example) dislike controllers. I can't stand using them most of the time. I find them an unintuative mess. That's partly why I will not buy a console until they have full mouse and keyboard support in all games.

Oh well, six months from now they will cite piracy as the cause of poor PC sales, you know, standard practice for shitty ports.

I have to agree... Mostly. For Racing games I prefer a 360 controller, because it's not going to die nearly as easy as a steering wheel, and it still has pressure sensitivity.

However, I can't play an FPS for my life on this, and prefer the mouse/keyboard for a game of Team Fortress 2 or Counter Strike.

Oh god I hate the rare times this happens. I remember buying the new Prince of Persia and just throwing it out after it asked for console buttons. And when you have to mash keys to push an enemy off a ledge, it works on a xbox button, but trashes your keyboard, hell I remember the game minimizing and my PC asking me if I wanted to choose sticky buttons since I was mashing the key so many damn times to send some rock guy off a ledge.

Though this is only a demo, I agree with the OP, there are many ports that include "XBOX 360" buttons on the tutorials. If you are playing a PC game, I expect instructions according to the controllers I am using. It is almost as if it said "press square" on Halo 3

This is why I never played Soul Caliber 4 for more than 5 minutes, all the combos and moves were listed using buttons that didn't correspond with what was on the controller.

where did you get the dark void demo? i looked on steam, couldnt find it.

On topic: yeah this happens a lot, prince of persia has it, as someone else says. its irritating when companies do such a shoddy porting job. i hope assasins creed II doesnt have the same problems...

Could have been worse, could have been "Press X to not die" (does this mean i get a cookie for reference?)
