Am I the only one who didn't mind the Mako controls for Mass Effect? Sure seems like it.

They weren't too bad, but not perfect. A little laggy, a little unresponsive, but I've seen much worse vehicle physics/controls in other games.

The controls were fine.. it was the vehicle's physical relationship to the landscape that was eye gouging to watch.

To me the mako sequences seemed half assed, like they added it as an afterthought when they found themselves ahead of schedule somewhere else.

Supposedly they made it much better on the PC. On the 360 version, it was pretty bad and made some otherwise cool sequences take a lot longer than they needed to.

Having played both versions, let me tell you the Xbox controls are terrible. The Mako will go both the way you turn the wheels and the way you look. So it gets confused so many times. And going backwards ... yhh ... They kinda fixed it on the PC (at least I didn't have so many problems controlling it). Good thing the Mako goes to hell in ME2 :p

Did you play the XBOX 360 version? If so, then you would hate the Mako controls.

Since this is in the PC Gaming section, I would assume you've only played the PC version.

I have the game on PC and I never had much of a problem with the Mako, but it did seem half-assed.

I agree on the 360 the controls were a pain. I own both the PC and 360 versions and I can say the PC controls are alot better.

i liked the Mako controls myself. Seemed responsive and the thing was fun to drive, awesome suspension physics.
this is on the PC obviously. default controls.

I really hated the Mako's control on PC at first, but after a while I grew used to it.

when the mako would get close to the camera, the controls would randomly invert and shit. it made trying to strafe enemies an exercise is annoying futility.

i just settled for barreling straight at everything and using the jump to dodge rockets and stuff.
