NovaBlack:
You need a 360 controller to play on your PC? GTA IV isn’t out for PC. I can only assume you mean playing the game on your 360 but channeling the video through a VGA cable to your PC monitor, or through a TV card to your PC or something, in which case it’s bloody obvious you’d need to use a console controller for a console game!
If you have read somewhere that the PC version will only support a ‘Games for Windows’ 360 controller, please supply a link, because that sounds outrageous.
@ Ebonheart
There’s split screen? Where’s the split screen?
sorry, i was talking about kane and lynch for the pc. just saying 6 months on and absolutely no patch , not a single one, so im stuck with split screen multiplayer REQUIRING a 360 controller (yeah makes PERFECT sense) with no warning on the box.
Generally just a comment on the fact im sick of devs getting away with releasing some games that arent ready in any way, and then never repairing it, leaving me with NO way to get my money back for a broken game that wasnt as advertised
the forums are utterly useless, we have been TOLD BY DEVS a patch is 'nearing completion' or literally 'just about released' for about 6 months. n then they just stop responding, never give any concrete info when they do, and lock threads when anyone starts an angry (and completely justified) thread asking about the patch or ways to get money back.
The store wont accept it back.
Eidos wont refund me.
Im stuck with a coaster.
the thread was
http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?p=729779#post729779
the most viewed thread on the forum! (almost 9,000 views) and 11 pages of responses. And then we got shafted as they said they didnt think we should be angry with eidos (after 6 months with no patch or official statement) and locked the thread. So i started a polite thread asking how exactly they suggest i get a refund as i am genuinely stuck, and once again.. locked. Writing to them also receives a similar response.
Its just not right that developers can do this. In ANY other walk of life (cars, electrical applicances etc) a consumer could simply take them to court (here in the uk the sale of goods act would cover it) as a product eg a car couldnt be sold a s road worthy and then they say after youve paid oh.. the wheels actually come as extras, another £200 please.
But in kane and lynch, and generally in games software, the same thing with a game and then a controller (not mentioned ANYWHERE on the box) is ok. Couple that with the fact the game literally DOES not run for thousands of people and surely we have a situation that just cant be fair.
From the sounds of things with GTAIV id be more than happy with one freee every 50 hours of gameplay lol. (although i havent had a single freeze yet and ive easily clocked up that!)
