[[Not-Super]]

picked this up to try out love these kinds of games had to refund though as soon as I loaded it up as they had no controller support? is this coming does anyone know?

They are currently porting the game to consoles, so there is a chance once that is done that it will be added to the game, but no one knows for sure, and devs have yet to answer on it.

you know some people cant use keyboard and mouse for long periods of time due to disability in there hands? did you ever think about that.

its 2023 people should be able to enjoy games with K&M if they want and controller if they want or need to.

nice said, can't agree more mate

Don't take this in a negative way, I'm stating this to be helpful. In future you might want to pay more attention to the store page for a game before you purchase it. The Raft store page makes no mention of controller support. If it had it, it should say so.

[starlight78sso]

I agree with you there Jeff, it doesnt show it has controller support. Asking if it is coming is one thing, but buying it and then getting upset it doesnt have it when it says it doesnt, is just ridiculous.

I hate stupid arguments like "why do you want controller, mouse and keyboard is better". It's not even an argument, it's a useless declaration. Great, some people prefer mouse and keyboard. I recognize this. Now they can recognize that some people prefer playing with a controller. It's extremely unusual for a game of this type, release in this day and age, as popular and financially successful as this one, to exist for YEARS without controller support. It's not unreasonable for a segment of the audience to expect or at least desire such a thing, nor should the choice of such a thing be so casually dismissed.

It isn't the end of the world to play this game with mouse and keyboard, no. It also wouldn't be the end of the world to allow those who are more comfortable playing with controllers to have the option to do so.

my xbox controller started working, partial unfinished controller support is finally here

[bongerman85]

ive used a controller with this game before without any problems. i disliked how clunky it felt. but i was able to use a controller when i was gaming at an airport.

In an ideal world, yes, but unfortunately programming in controller support isn't always an option for developers with limited resources as the team behind Raft was originally.

Most of the survival games I tried have either no controller support, or the support is extremely limited to the point that it borders on non-functional. There are a handful where the controller works "okay" because they're developed with a console release or VR integration as an original design point, but those are the exceptions rather than the norm for this genre.

You must be talking about Early Access titles. Most Full Release Survival games all have controller support. Valheim was developed by 5 people and it had partial controller support at launch and it became full after 1 month. Your argument is completely invalid.
