Near mandatory to have a game controller or joystick to play this? Asking because deciding whether or not to buy. I don't want to buy a game just to find out...Oh, the game needs sticks or a game pad to work right, espec because how much real time combat there is....

In my mind this game is a classic, but I never got around playing it when I was a teenager for some reason. I'm asking because well 13 years have passed and now I'm old and have to much work to do (and back pain). It gets to a point you have to really consider what you're wasting your time on....

Try limiting the framerate of the game to 60 via a third party application. No matter what I did, what settings I used ingame, I had jitters, framerate drops to 20, audio glitching out by playing twice in quick succession (UI SFX and VO both), even though I'm on an i5 with 64GB RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. As soon as I limited the game's FPS to 60 via RivaTuner's Statistics Server, all my issues went away and could put back all the graphics settings to max just fine. Hope this helps someone!...

I want another game similar to this! Other similarities steam claims isn't even CLOSE. So do you have any games to tell me like this?

Is there any way to fix the horrible camera/mouse jitter when you try to look around?
