Same here! can't believe there is no controller support on a modern game! Especially one that worked so well with the first xcom!

 

[thundervore]

YES!! YES!!!!

I cant wait to get home and play this!!

The resistance needs me? Living in Canada, it costs $80 for the basic edition.
I guess the resistance will wait. Even if I'm a die-hard fan of the previous game.

Plus, no xinput support. This worked so well in the previous game, I'd even argue it worked better than kb+mouse (I play on my couch, not at my desk).

I got my copy with addon for $30.

Considering that the first XCOM had controller support, it is weird that XCOM 2 doesn't have that function.

It supports the Steam controller: I guess Valve slid Firaxis some cash....

Would like to see Tom's benchmarking analyze why the game's supposed install size is over 40GB. Is there a technical reason/limitation? Bad design? Intentional bloating to discourage pirating?

I very badly want to get this game but not having controller support is kind of a deal breaker. I'll wait until controller support is added.

Can't exactly use a keyboard and mouse on a couch can you? Although that does fall under a "first world problem". :lol:

I really don't understand the confused couch PC users.
I have been doing this... forever. I play all my games from the couch with my gaming PC, using my HDTV. Logictech wireless Keyboard, and mouse.
I don't understand the complaints.

I know I'm about to conflict myself, but most hardcore gamers don't go for wireless peripherals. We generally prefer our mechanical keyboards and weighted mice. In that instance, most of the time it's not worth it to buy wireless peripherals because they generally have about the same consistency as an XBOX controller. There's some instances where a keyboard and mouse can't be used, but there's also some cases where a controller can't be used. Once you go mechanical it's pretty difficult to go back.
