BioShock 2 PC Shuns the Xbox 360 Gamepad
BioShock 2 PC gamers will have to kick it old school.
While we're sure that the popular opinion is that the major advantage of playing a first person shooter on the PC is gaining the superior keyboard and mouse control configuration; but now that we in a generation where some gamers grew up playing with a gamepad, perhaps there are some who prefer thumbsticks. BioShock 2, however, won't be catering to those gamers on the PC.
In response to customers asking about using the Xbox 360 controller to play the PC version of BioShock, a 2K Games community manager gave the following response:
I talked to the dev team about controller support for BioShock 2, and I want to let you know that we won’t be adding this into the game in a patch. The decision not to support the controller was not made lightly, and to add it now would take a complete re-envisioning of the UI that the team worked so hard to create.
I’m sorry for those of you who are disappointed, and I want you to know that your comments and concerns have been heard and will be taken in to account when we are planning in the future.

Haha... mouse and keyboard is the best, i bet if these console gamers were forced to play fps with the mouse and keyboard for over a month they would find out how much better it is. Its easily one of the reasons i hate halo so much.
dude Alan wake is not going to be made for PC's..
Anything to say?

Um...I don't care? It's been so long coming I've not given a shit in a long time. Much more interested in Max Payne III
Hardly a relevant thing to post about given this is about no controllers in Bioshock 2
Was 1/2 tempted to get this for PC but wont bother now!
You won't bother because gamepad aren't enabled? How strange?
A FPS without k/board and mouse is a scary thought to me.
