    No Gamepad support (Game was supposed to be optimized for mouse/keyboard and Gamepad).
    4:3 resolution settings (16:9 and 16:10 are having issues).
    DirectX slowdowns on Vista.
    I hope they release a patch soon!

    And Gamepad? LOLZ.

    Boot Camp isn't going to kill you, it's only a 45second boot process.

    Gamepad FTW

    My impression so far? Crashtastic. I've been sent to my desktop more times than a CPA on April 14th. If I forget to hit quicksave every five minutes, I can count on covering a lot of ground over again.

    That said, amazing graphics and a pretty cool story. I'm going to have to suffer through the crashes to get to the end of this one.

    Funny, I have been playing for days with zero crashes thus far, I assume I am about half way done...

    This is the Windows platform in a nutshell. Developers must create their software so that it works on an infinite variety of hardware.

    Turns out I'm not alone in that crash--after research, I found that running the game in DX9 mode fixed the problem for me. Hopefully they'll patch it soon.
