Im wondering if you have to resign functionality? It seems like you dont have to click on a lot of things though. Do you have a lot of not assigned functions then??
I think its possible to aim and click on stuff. I can play fps quite well on a controller. but for starcraft 2 i just need more buttons for production and groups. Im not sure how you can handle 5 groups efficiently and have buttons left for production...
I play grid so i need at least 5 buttons for groups, 9 for production, 3 for ctrl, shift and tab and 2 for left and right click. and 4 buttons for region hotkeys. Thats like the minimum functionality i need.
My ps3 controller has 14 buttons. I did the math and its not working... :D

The sad part is that this guy plays better with an xbox controller then some people with a mouse and keyboard.
Keep up the good work man. I just hope SC doesn't turn into Halo and become a console exclusive.

Hey, everyone, Cress is a good buddy of mine and we've been gaming it up for over a year. It's really great that he's receiving such tremendous support from the TL community. His playstyle is definitely unique, utilizing an X-Box 360 Controller over a mouse and keyboard, and he has persisted with this style despite the adversity he sometimes received from other gamers. It's good to see such positivity and acceptance, 'cause it's definitely not a gimmick. He literally does everything except type with the controller, haha. Anyway, I hope you all become regular viewers of his stream, and I hope to see you all there!

Blizzard also contacted me recently about the xbox360 controller Saying:
Cress,
We watched your stream not long ago and wanted to take a minute to inquire as to how you've set up your gamepad/PC to be able to play StarCraft II. If you have a few moments, we'd love to learn more about your setup and experiences playing StarCraft II with a gamepad.

Did he post this on battle.net or did he email you or say it in twitch chat?
I can't find his post on battle.net >.>.
Funny if this post is them thinking of a console port for SC2.

Aldrexus Messaged me on reddit and on my twitch tv account, took me a month to notice the messages XD. He sent me another message this morning still wanting to know more about my experience with the xbox 360 controller. I don't wanna share every message he sends me but the community wants to know I suppose .
It seems they really might be interested in a console port or getting as many ideas from me as possible. I know thats a scary thought for a lot of sc2 players. Still really cool none the less.
He said:
No worries, Cress. Thanks for getting in touch. I'd love to hear as many details as you're willing to share regarding your setup. Also, given your success on the ladder, we're really interested in hearing more about how you're liking the experience, why you choose to use a controller, and any other feedback you might have based upon your somewhat unique experience.
If you'd prefer to take this conversation off of Reddit, feel free to email me directly at ***************@blizzard.com.
Look forward to hearing from you.

This is....so bizarre. But in a good way.
Keep on keepin' on man, fight the good fight. Enjoy the game!

I have a keyboard in front of my monitor, but I don't have a desk in front of me, just an entertainment center, so my pc is kinda setup like a console =). While ingame I would need to take my hands off the xbox360 controller in order to type though.
Theres no really good way for me to post my setup for my xpadder, but I could draw something up roughly and edit my main post if you guys want?
Yes Thorlord I have been doing this since sc2 release listening to them day9 video's practicing my game pad macro

Jesus your fast with the controller. Crazy how much accuracy your getting out of it
|
damn, you should tell them to give you a job before giving out any secret lololol. Working for Blizz as game developer is cool as fuck.

i DEFINETELY think this is AMAZING.
This is why i'm fascinated with gaming bros, seriously, this dude just took the hardest RTS on the market that most people take aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to master with a fucking MOUSE & KEYBOARD and figured out how to play it on a 14 button joystick hahahahaa.
You should actually take that advice from tuho12345, ask for a job if you dont work with anything yet, because what you just did, blizzard is prolly trying to achieve to make their game more acessible for quite some time now, imagine if they could sell sc2 for xbox?! they'd be swimming in money right now, and YOU ARE THE KEY to it, so don't sell yourself cheap for a ego massage, go hard :DDDD
Best of luck and amazing job bro, proud of you.
