I heard the port was badly done and there were control issues. People have been screaming for a patch.

why the port is bad :

on the xbox360 you use two analog sticks- left one to move , right one to move the camera and objects

on the PC you use keyboard to move and mouse to move the camera

BUT this game uses the trigger sensitive buttons LT and RT for powers and the very sensitive analog sticks to move slowly , move normally , move fast and to run (it depends on how you move them)

So.... yes the PC has better textures plus AA but you can only move in normal speed and Run and thats it , no trigger sensitive buttons and moving the mouse feels like a pad analog stick - well most of the people that have issues play with the old combo keyboard+mouse but those that play with a pad have none problems

so buy a pad to enjoy this game

The game is much better in XBOX 360. PC gaming was always problematic. Game consoles do it simply better....

control wise yes but graphic wise no

Supposedly the main problem is with the V-sync, it causes mouse lag on even the best rig and must be shut off to play correctly. Also the AA is supposed to be pointlessly ineffective.

So what do you think? Will they release the patch for the mouse or should I play it as it is?

I played it as is. Once I found out about the V-sync, the controls were reasonable. It played fine on my machine (which is a pig).

They should. If they're making a pc port, they should make it proper. What would you think if they would make a pc game then port it to XBOX and force using mouse? Retarded idea? Same with XBOX2PC.
And no VSYNC off doesnt solve much.

I have no problem with fps lock.
What I realy would not like to hear is that the patch comes right after this game tortures me with the final level. Please post here instantly if you hear anything about the announcement of the patch, because the game seems promising.

you mean the gigantic worm that you shoot the bright spots on the belly ... or the moment before when you transport the artifact to the hole ?

the first moment is easy when you get/use the machine gun and throw the exploding stuff with your kinetic skills

the before moment is easy when you use your normal gun and shoot the legs then stomp them or use freeze time and when they are down quickly shoot those tentacles and move the artifact ,after those 3/4 tentacles are killed quickly jump into this big glass elevator

o and i finished this right from the start on Hard

took me 2 weeks but it was worth it (only had problems with the boss in the oxygen/garden part)

i think it's all a matter of taste but controls can be a problem when they're meant for a controller and then translated to a keyboard and mouse

Nah its just the developers are avid console gamers, that dont play pc games and to them the mouse+keyboard is exotic sheeeet and they don't know how to develop for it. Look at Max Payne 1, Bloodrayne 1, etc, these were perfect tpses.
