Dead Space Is Awesome!!

Needs a 360 pad. Don't play it without (or if you hate pads!)
It really doesn't, I had no issues playing it with mouse and keyboard once I ramped the sensitivity all the way up, disabled in game vsync and forced it through the Nvidia control panel.

This. I found the controls to be absolutely fine, I find aiming anything with a pad hugely awkward and inaccurate.
The thing is it isn't a twitch shooter.
I really don't get die-hard mouse+kb players who won't play a console game with a console controller.
Dead Space isn't Quake 3 Arena. I wouldn't use a pad in that game, btw. But Dead Space was designed for consoles.
Nevermind, I'm wasting my breath here, I know it.

Because I'm on a PC? Controllers just feel clunky compared to M+K for me, its all about personal preference, no one is wrong here. The only thing I ever prefer a controller for is driving in games.
You do realise that this game was designed on the PC from the very start with the PC as the lead platform & the controls were always designed around a gamepad on PC as its a multiplatform game design!
Why would I want to use a controller when I have a perfectly good keyboard and mouse
It's not like I'm a die hard, I just fail to see any gains from using a controller whatsoever.Just wondering, can anyone get a res of 1680x1050? I'm sure it was available when i first played, im limited to 1280x1024 and it's just annoying that it isn't looking as good as it could
Working at that resolution just fine for me.
I have no problem with a M+K. I think the issue is the viewpoint perspective.
However this to me is what makes the game.
Isaac is no hero. He's no FPS god that can carry more than his bodyweight yet sprint around never geting out of breath.
He clunks around and in my case is scared most of the time.
every corner or door the gun is up and aiming and he edges around.
Every morph he meets gets it then Isaac either backs off to reload or uses stasis to get out of the situation.
In short Isaac aint no hero.
I find despite me doing the controlling it's not me on board the ship, I feel like im watching the story unfold over someones shoulder.
The perspective makes this game just that bit more of a horror survival game than just another corridor shooter.
I think you have to adapt and enjoy the control style or walk away and play another FPS if you don't enjoy it.
Lets face it there are tons of shooters out there, it's good some are a bit different.
On the weapons subject I fully upgraded the pulse rifle last night. If you like to know there's plenty of ammo up the spout then it's great. at max upgrade damage it chews limbs off like a minigun. Great weapon and plenty of ammo.
Really good when Isaacs got his back against the wall and 'morphs are coming at all directions.
