Controller & Menu Issues
I know there are other posts kind of like this but feel like these things could be something that breaks the game if not addressed before release. I have about 500+ hours in the original between the Xbox and the PC versions and could personally say at this point in time I would rather play the original just for these two reasons alone.

Controller feels clunky compared to the original with the menus and some things just refuse to work like leveling up the chars stats it says use A to increase and X to decrease but nothing happens with ether. Not sure if there is not many people playing with controller but is rough changing back and forth doing menus with mouse and playing with keyboard when the cursor disappears.

Part of the oddness might be the camera seems to more behind the char rather then in a 3rd person look down from behind the char but ether way the menus need work and it would be nice to be able to see the game while in the menus like the original.

The UI is confusing just about every time I jump back in to test things out with all the hold this and press B to change menus. I feel this should be simplified as it makes the game feel like it has a really slow pace.

P.S. Comparing equipment seems to be off also but cant remember if it showed both in the original but it would be nice seeing as there are different builds and it just tells me things with higher stats are better.

who are you to dictate how others play? he can play the way he wants. and op, raising the stats used to work with a pad for myself, the most recent patch seems to have broken it since it hasn't worked on that since then. so send it in as a bug report and see if they fix it in the next update possibly.

Did I hurt poor babies feelings? Go back to console.
Always got to be a few in the bunch Cuomo Is A Fomo no worries. Thanks though for looking out. Some people just don't know how to chill and love to insult disabled people.

If controllers were not to be used for pc then why would Steam even have its own controller?? Many games on PC are even designed for controllers as opposed to mouse and keyboard I see no point in insulting people who prefer one peripheral over another if the game you play clearly states controller support it should be there. DDA will also have split screen for up to 4 players I am not sure how that would work with just mouse and keyboard lol. I am hoping they fix controller issues for DDA as it is indeed frustrating to use controller atm with many functions not being available mainly the hotswapping of heroes which is my personal pet peeve.

Thanks that's awesome to know and thanks for the response. Always nice to see a developer active in the community.

I did not think it was that soon but guess I forgot to check the timeline, it does just say Q2 not a date though. I know they are things that have been being worked on just thought I would leave a note kind of seeing as it is getting close to the end of the month and I have messed around with it a bit through out the month.

Some games are just very laid back and enjoyable with controller. But yes, controllers in the menus still needs work lol
