PS3 UI Screens

Looks very slick, I love it. Sadly, no matter what kind of ingenious interface they will come up with, gamepad will always be inferior to keyboard/mouse, simply because the latter got so much more buttons.

Yeah yeah whatever you say kiddo. All that inferior gaming of the 70s/80s/90s and all.

Uh, what? PC gaming was huge in the 80s and 90s as well? Or I guess shit like Myst and Unreal Tournament aren't real games.

Not this granola shit again. My pad worked wonder for any event in the game. I'm inferior doing the same things as others ?

I suppose I should've provided a bit more of a context. The way the game is now, gamepad works just fine. You don't gain any advantages by using keyboard and mouse, quite the contrary, the implementation of these devises is horrible. Playing this way is rather unpleasant. However, this will no doubt change in ARR, as the game is designed to accomodate both those who prefer gamepad and those who prefer keyboard.

Of course, we will have to try it out for ourselves first before passing any verdicts. Still, logic dictates that it's easier and faster to activate the ability by simply pressing, say, "F" key, instead of pressing "L2" + "left" on a pad. Not to mention that you won't be able to fit all of the abities and macros on one bar, you'll have to scroll through them. Mind you, I've never said that gamepad sucks. If nothing else, new UI beats an old (current) one by the mile. It's just that keyboard and mouse makes much more sense in MMORPG enviroment, where you got a crapload of abilities to operate with.
