Go buy it on 360 then.

I would rather play it on Pc tbh.. higher res and generally looking better. i,m sure it will be patched at some point...But thanks for your advice

Be a man and play it with a keyboard and mouse like it should be.

Word.

I allways find playing with keyboard and mouse makes a game more immersive...

 

[z0mbi3]

To someone who's got it, are the PC controls similar to the first one?

I,m very much a man but having two tendons in my left hand replaced with pins makes it hurt like hell holding my hand over the wasd keys.. I also prefer games like this with a pad, I plug my laptop into my Tv and relax on the sofa.. I,m getting old need to game in comfort.

There are still many ways to get the game working with a pad, just like we did in the old days before all this 360 pad/Every game must support it malarkey.

Xpadder, Pinncale game profiler etc etc.

I want to play but what with 2 young uns around, quickly alt-tabbed on the opening intro - lol

 

[reflux]

Right I've played about 45 mins of it so far....impressions are -

The good:

Very similar to the first game
Story is already very prevalent and immersive
Being able to go under water
YOU GET TO BE THE BIG DADDY!!!

The bad:

Graphics a bit dated looking IMO
Actually finding it quite hard atm, don't know whether it's because I'm half asleep still but keep getting killed.

 

[Evilsod]

Oh? It was released at 8am on Steam? ****ing typical. The first day back at uni and i have to be out the house at 7:15.

 

[Gimpymoo]

Kudos to Take 2/Valve for a timely release.

 

[SixTwoSix]

I love Virgin, downloading at 5.9Mbps

 

[philstanbridge]

lol.. only 5 hours to go..

What? That's ludicrous. I thought this was a GfW Live title which mandates 360 controller support?

 

[Jamesdavid3]

if you want 360 pad support get a console..This is a PC game play it like its ment to be played with a keyboard and mouse.

Ordered.
