Castle Crashers *not* for Pc

Posted by SoulScorpion - December 27th, 2012


While im normally a person that doesnt rant in the internet,
something starts to taste bitter after a while when it comes to playing pc-games.

Since the beginning i use the pc. Im comfortable with it, and i dont want to go to the details "whos better",mac,linux,bla.

Steam is a very attractive platform to buy your pc-games. Buy,Pay, play in no time.

There is a main problem though.

Game developers...please....stop converting games for other gaming-platforms when they are not meant to be played on that platform.

Example? Easy. I bought castle crashers. The game tells me that the game is great to be played with a controller.
I thought: allright, hey i dont have one.
Playing singleplayer was no problem with the keyboard. Sadly castle crashers is meant to be a game with more players then one.
I tried to set "2 players" for the keyboard. Not working. You have to have a controller.
I thought: allright! im going to buy a controller!
So i bought a win 7 - compatible controller.
Not working. Then i readt in the internet: Youll have to have a xbox 360 controller!
Great! so i downloaded software to emulate a xbox-controller. That worked.

Now for the biggest laugh: Finally everything set up, my friend and i excited to play together - BEEP.

Not working. Why? The game doesnt unterstand that you have a keyboard and a controller. It thinks both are player 1!
So you need two controllers to finally play this game together on the Pc!
*laughs*

Really... big text...short and loaded opinion... Console Developers: keep your games for the consoles! Stop slapping pc-customers in the face while taking their money.

another reason why its best to do through research.

good point.

But really? Google every little indie-game on the planet that you buy over a Pc/Mac- Platform if it is playable with your existing hardware? Haha. Cmon.

The good old "lurk some more" idea.

You also could say: " well you dont have to buy it, you eat what you get"

Games that are not converted to other platforms are unfinished games.

Thats fact.

When they are not converted in functionality completly to other Gaming-Platforms, they are in a beta-stadium, glitchy, buggy,call it how you want.
When game-devs dont make it right,they should stay with the game on the platform they are meant for.

That are just the two things that i wanted to tell with my message.

Not how good it is to make a science-research how the whole game works.

Thanks for the refreshing "youre doing it wrong" message though ;-)
