Subject: Physically Disabled Gamer Really Hopping for a PC Version of ODST

ODST is an Xbox 360 expansion for an Xbox 360 game, if they ported it to Pc they would likely have to do so with Halo 3, which they dont seem to have plans of.

Sorry if I'm prying, but what exactly about this disease prevents you from playing 360 if you can still play on PC? I find that rather odd, almost unbelievable.


No it ok to ask. Mainly it's it that I have limited mobility and the spacing of the buttons on the 360 controller are to far a part for my fingers now. Where as the PC I can put the mose to were I need and the other buttons for FPS's on the keyboard are located close together on the left side.

Sounds like a form of muscular dystrophy. If so, that's terrible dude... I'm sorry.

now, honestly, i think that your lying, and im sorry if your not, but i just think that your one of those people who wants the game on PC so that you can Mod it, etc and make the game easier for yourself while looking cool infront of all your friends.
Also, you say that you dont have the muscle to keep playing for long periods of time?? Wha--?
Just rest the controller on your alp, it take really REALLY little effort to move your fingers, and even if it does, i think that it would take up just as much, or even more to move the mouse.
So, i am very sorry if what you say is true, I just find it rather pathetic.


I can see how yea think that. It is just hard to explain it one of those things u need to see to really under stand.

Have you ever tried resting the controller on your lap rather than hold it? That may help you play for longer.

For Carnage Apply Within

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace

We see people like this all the time that are lying, so excuse our skepticism. My uncle had ALS, terrible disease. Anyway, I don't think there are any plans to port it. At least no until after Halo 3 is ported, if it ever is.

I worded that wrong I can hold it i just can't reach all the button on the 360.

  • 06.03.2009 3:01 PM PDT

I feel your pain, but unfortunately I doubt it will ever happen.

I bet there's some way of making your Xbox 360 gaming easier, somewhere out there.

Just keep lookin'.

It does sound a bit unbelievable, but I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.


My best friend has the exact same disease, and would likewise appreciate this.

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

.

I heard there is a guy, the same one who made the Xbox 360 laptop, who makes controllers for disabled people or people who have one hand and stuff like that.

Maybe you could do a little research and ask him for a hand, horrible pun not intended.

First of all, hate is a word that shouldn't be thrown around as commonly as it is. You -hate- him and yet you have no idea whether he is lying or not. You don't have to believe him, but there's no reason to be such a **** when you have no idea what he might have to deal with on a daily basis.

yea I have heard about him and I do have somebody try different things whith my controller that dose help a bit for racing game just not for fps's. that's why I play them on PC. I know ODST probably won't come out PC But It's always worth a shot to ask lol.

My friend who also has Duchenne's MD was able to give himself almost a year of extra gameplay by buying a miniature controller from GameStop. It could work, I suppose. But I still think a PC version is a better idea.

I'm sorry to hear about your disease.
But.. The world does not adapt to you, so you must adapt to it. Try finding a controller which you can use, and there are mouse + keyboard xbox controllers out there.

Isn't there an adapter you can get that allows you to use a keyboard and mouse with and Xbox 360?
