Is there any way to use the PS3 controller on the PC?
Not just for this game, for everything?

Nice. Thanks.

That Glove thing - it allows remapping of keys in games that don't usually allow such?
And Batman needs Windows Live to save on PC? Err, maybe I will get the PS3 version after all.
Yes, and yes (at least the retail/boxed PC version does).
With GlovePIE you create scripts (basically simple batch files with commands like:
Key.E = Mouse.MiddleButton etc.) for each game for which you want to map controls. It even has a super-EZ GUI that will detect input/output for you and write it to the script. Just run the script when you play the game that's all there is to it :)

Man that game was sweet. I think GfW is only a small price to pay for constant 60fps with an unrivalled level of detail & huge resolutions on almost any recent video card. I'm so glad I bought a 360 pad a few years ago when my old Saitek died.
Not sure I understand the correlation between logging into Windows Live and game performance :confused:

There is none, reread his post. He is saying that it (having to deal with Windows Live) is a small price to pay for an extremely well optimized, widely compatible game...something that is extremely rare these days. In other words, it is a sacrifice he is more than willing to make, considering the payoff.

I'm the same way with Fallout 3. I didn't even notice GfWL once the game was installed.
MsLedd on 20/9/2009 at 03:02
ahhh okay.
I can somewhat agree with that... however, from what I understand there are versions of the game that do not require this, so that would be my choice.

1. You DO NOT need to be persistently online to play 90% of GfWL titles, the exception being possibly a few launch titles like Halo 2 and Shadowrun.
A. Create an offline profile.
B. A normal profile will default to offline mode after failing to connect. (Or if you refuse to enter the CD key).
2. Saves aren't stored online in a cloud or some such rubbish, they're on usually saved on your system partition/HDD to the usual places, normally My Documents or Shared Documents... ya know, like most other games released in the last several few years.
Transferring saves is only matter of going into the file explorer, then copying and pasting... like almost every other game.
3. The service has improved greatly over time, feedback has been listened to. You should keep an open mind and give things a chance to get better.
It's no different to how the kinks had been working out of most Windows releases over time (or Steam for that matter).

Honestly, all that happens with a GfWL game is that a message flashes up for a few seconds when loading to remind you that you can press the Home key to bring up the GfW menu. After that you can ignore it completely if you so wish.

GfWL can royally fuck the single player of Dawn of War 2; I speak from experience, where it wouldn't let me load my active campaign until it detected a connection to GfWL.
