Requires a controller to play?
Since I'm on a PC I dont have a controller, and why would I want one? These kind of games is played best on keyboard + mouse .. its just silly they're trying to sell a game that requires a controller to play for PC customers.
Oh well, its too bad since the game looks fun!

This game would be terrible with keyboard + mouse.

However, it does support 1 keyboard for the 2 players. If you have a gaming keyboard (aka a keyboard with no 3-key limitation), this game works perfectly fine with it.

"Since I'm on a PC I dont have a controller"

PC gamers have used joysticks/gamepad/controllers for at least 30 years. They were never just for consoles. PC doesn't automatically mean keyboard + mouse.

Exactly.

i played with just a keyboard and it worked fine for me. finished the game in about 5 hours and i don't feel like i missed out on the game without a gamepad.

So if I understand right, you have to play both characters at the same time? I only have a logitech G13 gamepad. I tried using the keyboard, but the key mappings are all weird. Is there a way you can re-assign the keys? I'm using a german keyboard btw - so weird things happen when I try to push several buttons at once. All of a sudden the chars don't move in the direction they're supposed to, and become almost impossible to control. Any ideas? Otherwise I'm stuck with a game I can't play. Haven't even managed it down the hill with the cart at the start of the game without wanting to hit something. Thanks in advance-

Platformers, twin-stick shooters, racing games, fighting games. There are lots of genres that work just as well and many more that work better with a controller. Invest in a 360 controller it's worth it.

And 360 controller feels amazing in your hands. It's like s*x to your paws. Seriously, feels like that to me.

Slicing clones as Deadpool or crushing demons as Dante while playing with an Xbox 360 controller is like paradise on Earth.

You need a controller with two analog sticks, like an Xbox 360 controller.

Well there are some games you can play with a controller on the pc so its not a bad idea to have a controller unless you got some kind of reason to hate controllers. I got a wired controller bought it for another game and it was defently worth it in the long run :claugh:

It's too bad for you. The game is awesome, and basically everyone has a controller to plug in a pc nowadays.

You can drop the elitarism and try to accept that the BEST way to play this game is with a controller, even if you can use a keyboard.

Haha! :p
Simply buy a controller. Its not the last game that will ever come out and is good for a gamepad.

This is totally fine for people who already have controllers, but most people on PC, believe it or not DO NOT own a controller.
I´m sure you have other games in your library that can be played better with a gamepad than keyboard and mouse.

And:

If you don´t wanna play it don´t play it!!!! But dont whine about not having a controller!

I quite like my Logitech USB controller, it costs $25 and works with everything I need it to (which is primarily emulators but some steam games work with a controller too).

The 360 controllers are garbage. They're too big, the Dpad is crap, and the triggers are too heavy. Get a PS4 controller if you want quality but any old USB controller will work fine, most try to emulate the PS family's contours which have worked just fine for 20 years and are vastly superior to any other controller I've ever held.

360 controller garbage!? You Dear Sir have hurt my feelings! I will challenge you to a fight! Throw your glow, amigo!

But seriously though how can anyone say that. I have woman's typical small hands and the controller fits perfectly and the triggers run smoothly. Are you a little person?

I just think it's bulky, I have used PS controllers for the entire duration that I've gamed on consoles so the switch was uncomfortable. The buttons on a 360 controller click uncomfortably, the Dpad is actually pretty broken (Tried Rayman Origins on a 360 and the thing wouldn't respond fast enough), I found the triggers weren't sensitive enough and they were more stubborn than a PS3's triggers, and the holders felt big in my hands. I don't think I have small hands, they're the typical sze for any female I guess.
