the way i see it is they should have separated the ui.

if you use a mouse, it would use UI option 1 a mouse optimized system

if you use gamepad option 2 a gamepad optimized system

same with combat and we have happy campers.

azraden00: Spergin' self-entitled PC gamers itt.

I've played both gamepad and kb/m, to see how they stack up against each other. Both work incredibly well. Other than going through the inventory, but that's because the inventory system is bad, not because CONSOLES A BLOO BLOO BLOO.

Seriously, reading this thread is like reading a Dragon Age 2 thread. Except Dragon Age 2 actually deserved it. How in the hell people are honestly thinking this game is anywhere near that debauchery of a game is beyond me. This is a fantastic game with a few minor questionable design decisions. This has come close to being sealed as GOTY for me, which is quite the feat, considering what games have/will come out this year. Arkham City is the only game I see giving this one a run for it's money.
This.

I totally agree.

Optimised for the gamepad does not mean consolised lol
This game does feel more mainstream and therefore is attracting more mainstream gamers = more scrutiny. But just remember CDP was a fairly small developer but with the release of this game they will only become bigger and better in the future.

I believe there is a legion of gamers who are happy with the game as is and they have no time or have nothing bad to say on these forums. They are too busy having a blast with the game, which reminds me! I'm gone to play it now! Cyas!

your right but when they say that it was made for the optimization of gamepads thats the problem. especially when you see a lack of optimization for M+K especially when you see a damn software mouse.

but most people turn a blind eye, or just dont care about it so they just ignore or dont notice it. but for many it just nags them and nags them. the worst part is they can make it all better without ruining it for either team.

Yeah! The problem with the mouse is that you can't play on TV while reclining on the couch. But it's good that we can still play TW2 with a mouse though. LOL :)

Alright, slapping us in the face like this is simply unacceptable. Unlike some of the other indications for the allegation at hand this one obviously contradicts their previous statements.

LOL that would be awsome but I dont think they will!

Just have to accept the combat/gameplay as is.

LOL, PS: So true about whiners whining that people didnt like the consolization! There is a thread now of "the silent Majority" whining that people dared not like every single aspect of game with out thought.

BTW: If their posting about it, wouldnt that make them the vocal minority here and no longer the famous and unprovable silent majority? Just throwing out some common sense for those types to learn from :)

Sure, it's not like a game breaker. It's just one side of the game that I really liked a lot more in The Witcher. But is not all bad, having fast/strong blows on mouse buttons is an interesting idea.

i agree i like having the styles have their own buttons so you can chain them together , and redirect them to the various enemies that requite to be hit by that type to cause maximum damage.. but sadly it does not work out that way.

and fast enemies can be hit by strong ....

well this is why i made this to bring it up and possibly get some support (not going to happen with all the people who dont want a better game :P... i kidd... not about it not happening tho) and then bring it to the big wigs who not having to listen to a publisher can give us what we want . i mean we are getting a fan patch they love us right ? :(
Probably mislead. Just like it’s been the case with the DRM issue.

i think that's slightly(hugely) different.

geniusprime: swordsandroses you are mistakenly equating more options to being better. That is not the case and its not automatic. Now I understand that you would have appreciated if they took full advantage of all of the options of the keyboard and mouse, and not limit it to the options of the gamepad. Thats totally understandable. However it does not make it automatically better nor does it make it automatically worse. :)
I agree with this post. The game has a pretty good combat system. A WoW interface with skill buttons does not feel like sword combat--it feels like shit. If keyboarding means simply having to bind more keys... well fuck that. Sure, the old fast/strong/group thing would have been nice. But ultimately, it just feels like they only removed the group option. Which isn't so bad: you just deal with groups cautiously and do a bit of kiting around.

wow.. no one even suggested a wow system. and we, the people asking for change all already realize that mouse 1 is fast and mosue2 is strong. but we still can miss the group style something that would be useful in this game btw.
