I've reluctantly, reluctantly put this game aside for now.

Yeah same here, I have reluctantly put it aside as well. You know what really bugs me, I was so excited for this game, I drove my front wheel drive car into the blizzard since I'm located in DC and went to best buy, found out they would no longer accept the preorder package I purchased back when the original release date was early november, bought the game full price with no preorder special characters, only to learn during the install that there was no 360 controller support. I've played 3 levels and just can't go any further in hopes that I can finish the game using my controller again :/

Hey guys,

I talked to the dev team about controller support for BioShock 2, and I want to let you know that we won’t be adding this into the game in a patch. The decision not to support the controller was not made lightly, and to add it now would take a complete re-envisioning of the UI that the team worked so hard to create.

I’m sorry for those of you who are disappointed, and I want you to know that your comments and concerns have been heard and will be taken in to account when we are planning in the future.

Thanks,

-Elizabeth

Who cares if it was light or not? Do you think that we care if you played rock, paper, scissors to determine decisions or not? Well, WE DON'T! Excuses don't make up for poor management and lack of features! If you can't make a proper PC game then leave the task to the proffesionals, like Blizzard.

This is ridiculous. Won't be buying a 2K game again, I can guarantee that.

Personally for me, I need the Xbox 360 controller. I'm missind a finger on one hand and only have 15% use of it. That makes it tough to use a keyboard and mouse as it makes my hand ache tremendously. When I bought this game I figured it would have controller support since the first bioshock did. When I got home and loaded it only to find I would be stuck using a keyboard and mouse, I was upset. By the time I made it 10 minutes into the game my hand was already numb. I don't have this problem with the controller. Please 2k games, give us our controller back. If not, I'll never spend one red cent on another of your products.

Well, don't go to the trouble on my account. I'll never buy another title from 2K Games again. I hope the Dev team lose their jobs over everyone's complaints and their lack of insight or response to their customers. You guys blow!

ugh how crappy.

I think them excluding controller support is a bit short sighted. Wasn't Bioshock released for the 360 and PS3? Seems to me they had the assets for controller support there. Not sure why it would have been such a big deal. Pretty crappy, imo considering its a GFWL title...

Count me in as a PC player who's disappointed. I'll still enjoy the game, I just prefer using a controller...
