How would a thread about a game be more fitting in the off-off topic section, instead of here in the general gaming section?  Let's not be too silly.

Uh, yeah, my bad. I mistook this for the general discussions board. No, seriously sounds like a good game. I've played bioshock 2 and I liked it.

I'm loving this game.the controller is subpar for it, though.I normally use my Xbox controller for every game that supports it, but in bioshock...awful.I can barely use a gun to hit things with it, but keyboard and mouse gives me almost constant headshots.

My PS3 was running it fine, and I was picking off headshots with the Hand Cannon just fine.

In fact, friends watching me play were calling me sick for blowing heads clean off, and wondering what caliber it was.  'Bout time they started thinking about stuff like that.  :P

Did they ask how many clips you had? :P

I wish I knew of a way to make it work better with the controller.  I rarely use kb+m for shooters, as I just prefer holding a controller to having a keyboard in my lap and somehow maintaining a surface for the mouse(I usually play from my couch).

They know better.  I've gone off on them about that, and spent an hour, with visual aids, demonstrating the difference.

It...  Was not a good day for me, and that just triggered me for some reason.

Clips, mags, trigger... There's something in that...

It took me a week to beat it.  Not that it's difficult or particularly long, just...  It kinda felt like work to play it.  The story was engrossing, and the art style is captivating.  I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I walked away feeling thankful that it was finally over.  I just didn't have fun.  Your mileage may vary, of course.  Maybe I'm burnt out from all the other games I've played recently.

Controller > Keyboard + Mouse.

Keyboard + Mouse == Awkward as Hell.

I prefer the control I get from keyboard and mouse, but the problem is that I play on a 55" plasma from my couch.  That's not conducive to kb+m usage.  A controller is so much more convenient that I tend to use it in any game that supports it well.

Whereas I would prefer not to have to contort my hand into strange and unnatural positions for playing a game...

Heh, it's innate by now.  That reminds me of a funny picture I saw recently... I wonder if I can find it and figure out how to post it on here.

I don't get the assertions about contorting fingers on a mouse + keyboard setup.

The majority of PC games out there use maybe 5-6 keys, positioned so you barely have to move your hand. Mouse usually just the left and right click. The nature of the mouse resting on a surface means that aiming tends to be very precise.

MMOs are perhaps an exception, because most have dozens of commands plus the need to type communications to other players. Then again console controllers have difficulty with this as well.

I've had to switch to a controller due to the condition of my arm.   :'(
