Keyboard & Mouse controls

[Darion]

I just bought the game today and i really like it, but i thought this game would use keyboard&mouse controls and now i find that is pretty much console based.

It's really hard (at least for me) to play with both hands on the keyboard, i usually play with my right hand on the mouse, and my left hand on a nostromo (razer keypad).
So play with both hands on the keyboard feels really weird.

Is there any way to aim and shoot with the mouse? move with WASD and aim and shoot with the mouse, that would be perfect, it feels so weird to have 4 buttons to do the same attack just in different directions.

Greetings.

i totaly agree with you. I have also just started playing that game and have the same problem. I tested also to play with my controller and it feels even more worse.

this game looks realy fun to me. but the controlling did ruin it. glad i had a -66% discount so i wasted just 2€.

It's a shame that they are not gonna add mouse control.
I would buy both DLCs if they add it, but like this, i am not even playing the game, in fact im gonna make a review warning future buyers that this is not a pc game, is a console game.

To correct you on the 'console' game, It's a Retro game >_>
Sure there some retro's that support mouse but imo I wouldn't call that retro ^^
This has been asked in the past as well but dunno there reply on it due my memory isn't serving me atm. (forums had been cleaned as well)
It's possible that it's due Game Maker Studio limited (just a possibility, a gues)

One doesn't need the mouse to play as Hero's only shoot in 4 directions, using the mouse would then not feel comfortable right?

This it not a modern shooter.

Using 4 buttons to do the exact same attack is better... that's why every game do that... oh.... wait a minute... wait.... mmmm.... nope, no one does this ♥♥♥♥, BECAUSE IT SUCKS!

Sorry you don't like it that way, the game is designed around using a gamepad anyway.

You should have said it somewhere, this is not a pc game, it's a console game, or controller game, or retro game, or call it what you want, but this is not a pc (mouse&keyboard) game.

Rofls @ blame. If you looked at some guides, reviews, searched discussions, looked at wiki, etc before you bought it, you should've known. So don't blame them when you could blame yourself too. Most people btw know that they shouldn't expect mouse in topdown pixel retro games so no need to state it anywhere.
And btw, pc history here: Keyboard only existed long before even the mice came into existence. *sighs*

I saw gameplays and reviews before buying it, i liked the game and that's why i bought it.

Both the concept and the gameplay looked nice, but no one mention that the "support" for pc gamming is really bad, i guess nearly anyone playing this game on a pc is using a controller, and no, no one mentioned it, not the reviewers and not the game page.

Do you see the Windows and the OS X icons? i do, i don't see those icons crossed and the icon of a controller there. (please explain me that win and osx are OS and can work only with a keyboard, go to the wiki again and tell us another tale xDD)

This is not a PC game with controller support, this a console game with "pc support"... you can admit it or not, a pc game should allow to use mouse, as simple as that.

About the grandpa tales, no comments... tell that to your grandchildren, well i guess they don't want to hear stupid history that you probably just search on wikipedia, so yeah... the wall might be interested tho :D

Terminal Meltdown, how can it be "tragic" when so few players actually complain about that?

That's a minor issue that can be solved, just report that on their bugtracker and wait a bit, i'm sure it will be implemented.

The patchnote says it all.

I don't really have an issue with shooting. I just would like to replace my skill hotkeys. I wish we had a customization setting for that. Instead of 1-2-3-4, something like Q-W-E-R, etc. I even want to replace my first skill with space.

[Darion]

???? what are you talking about? the last patch notes don't say anything about mouse support.
