OH GOD! NOT THE KEYBOARD!
Thanks, mousie from wank_report!

So this E3, it was news that Tales of Monkey Island (trailer here) will be made for WiiWare and the PC. One bit of the article caught the fans' attentions.

The colorful 3D world can be explored using the Nunchuk and pointer on the Wii or the keyboard and mouse if you're playing on the PC.

Let's just say that the PC-users are not pleased with Telltale Games.

RMJ1984: It really is a shame, when companies goes down this ignore path, because they are on the consoles, then we have to suffer with so bad controls, that it ruins the immersion and the game.

I wont support games with inferior controls, we need the same or evolution or deevolution.

Just a shame when a company with their big ego cant see when stuff doesnt work, so either stop making youre games to consoles, or implement both type of control schemes.

Guess we can count in next Sam and Max being ruined as well, oh well thats 2 games i wont be getting. Its scary because no matter how good a game is, its absolutely worthless, when the controls sucks, and youre new ones does, im sorry, but i would have fired the person(s) who made them.

what a shame, never thought Telltale would become like this, but thanks.
And dont even start on the "Mouse only" doesnt work, because it does.

Edit:

and as people say go back to the drawing board, stop making console games or pc games, or implement both schemes, a use on this very forum has shown it works much better even with mouse only.

So why are you lying? why are you so interessed in this inferior control system? the mind really does buggle, i mean yeah we users are demanding, stick to controls that actully work, and dont break the fun of the game immersion.

I'm confused on why a keyboard and mouse combo is bad. I use that for the videogames I play on the computer already.

There's probably something I'm missing.

Monkey Island games were point and click PC Adventures games for the longest time.

Adventure gamers can be wanky and hate to change. I know some that hate anything that doesn't have a text-paser interface.

Because no one ever develops two different but equally good control schemes for a game that is released across multiple platforms. Especially not when they are experienced professional developers with asstons of funding.

The PC vs Console Wars are so...2004. It's kind of nice to see it brought back for another round of fappery.

Ah, the irony of someone declaring the superiority of the keyboard (and mouse) while misusing it so. I counted 20 errors in the quoted text, and I was being generous about the capitalization (or lack thereof) of "I".

"the mind really does buggle"

Great. Now I have Video Killed The Radio Star in my head and the urge to spoof it with something like Keyboard Killed The Video Game, but I'm just not clever enough and that makes me sad.

I don't suppose these gamers remember the horrid control schemes of Grim Fandango and MI4, which cannot be blamed on consoles at all.

(note: I am not bashing the quality of Grim Fandango, just mentioning that trying to make Manny look at the right thing was often excruciating.)

Man do I feel for RMJ1984, it was so awful when controllers were given extra buttons. I mean, what's up with that?! It was perfectly fine having the A & B button, and now they've fucked it up by adding 50 bajillion buttons like some child's Christmas craft, and then Sony had to go replace the trusty ol' alphabet with shape dohickies, and now suddenly "x" means "yes." WHAT?

And then came the analog sticks. Don't even get me started on the analog sticks. Who cares if it makes moving your character easier or less likely to die on Rainbow Road? I'M STUCK IN MY RUT AND I LIKE IT.

Excuse me while I go and play Pong.

And what I take from this is how awesome it is that the Wii version will use nunchuck controls. Because having to point the wiimote at the screen all the time and keep clicking on Sam and Max was getting old.

YAY nunchuck!

I am largely posting here as an excuse to use this icon.

Also to say: the control scheme for MI4 was unwieldy and sucked to an extreme degree. I hope whatever they do for this new one, it's an improvement.
