PC port: Garbage. by Creexuls, a monster >:3 12/21/2008, 11:48pm PST
The keys can't be rebound, and every function in the game requires a separate key (movement and map scrolling are forced to be separate keys on the keyboard). If you remember the old Old Man Murray fake patch notes about World War 2 Online, where they ran out of key combinations on the keyboard. To use the stasis gun (which slows down INSANE UNSTOPPABLE SLAMMING DOORWAYS which are apparently the toughest monster in the game because you can't just shoot or plasma weld them), you have to go into aim mode, and then hit C. The key for this can be rebound, as long as it's not to anything that is already being used, then the game just says no. Activating map markers is B, and activating your map is tab, and blah blah blah a bunch of arbitrary shit which I'm sure works way better on the consoles, which is what this game was made for. This is pretty much like playing Deus Ex 2 on the PC. You can tell from the first few minutes that they didn't care.

Also, the graphics settings autodetected incorrectly, causing mouse lag(!!!!!!!!!!!), the sign of a bad port. Also, it wouldn't autodetect my widescreen monitor resolution.

3/10 so far.
