Even though I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw then, I did go into the game now with an amount of trepidation – mostly due to wondering if it had aged well and if the developers would manage to screw up the port. I didn’t get to experience Torchlight II first hand when it was initially released, although I did watch a fair proportion of gameplay previously. Thankfully, Panic Button hit all the right notes and not only enhanced the game but breathed life back into the much needed top-down dungeon crawler genre that’s even better on the go. To be clear, I've been pushing for controller support in this game literally since its release.Torchlight II first released back in 2012 on PC to high praise whilst gaining a very healthy score on Metacritic from critics and players alike, but porting over a seven-year-old game to the Nintendo Switch could be seen as a dicey decision from developers Panic Button while risking a smear on the games previous positive reception. It's less common now, but some still act that way, surprisingly. And yes, at the time, EVERYONE was being a total ♥♥♥♥ if you even breathed the word "controller" on these threads. And yes, I was very much being sarcastic at the time. To say that it can't be done, as proven, is just plain stupidity and wrong. It seems to me to be more a case of lazyness. The Developers have shown that they can do it, by releasing the game on several different consoles. It can't be that difficult, to enable controller support on the PC, and to use the same mapping as the Xbox One system.ĭespite that, there is still no pad support for PC. If it wouldn't work, then explain to me, why Torchlight 1 and 2 work perfectly well on the Xbox One? Why do they work perfectly well on the Nintendo Switch? All on control pads. People say it wouldn't work, but those people are talking out of their anus. I've been begging for controller support for years. Plenty of games these days, on PC, support controllers. So much so, that I actually didn't know if you were being sarcastic or not, to be honest. To be honest, that last line, about computers only being capable of supporting one input device, is pure BS. Sure, I could use my Steam Controller to play it but the experience just isn't the same. Too bad this game wasn't updated to include controller support found on the console version. I just love using the mouse in most games however for Diablo-esque ARPGs I kinda prefer using a controller and just sitting back and chilling. Now you can sit back and enjoy while your thread degenerates into people raging back and forth over why a controller shouldn't be used in a PC game. In any event, your question has been asked and answered. And I'm not a fan of consoles.Īnd to make it perfectly clear before anyone else brings it up for the hundredth time, there is NO viable 3rd party ap or mod that brings it in line with the native supported offered by the console version of the first game. I actually play Torchlight 1 on the 360, mod-free and in all its choppy glory over this game specifically because of this exact issue. Everyone knows computers are only capable of supporting one input device and only one. And if you even mention the word "controller" here, everyone jumps down your throat.
