Is it the resolution, transparency, or just the feeling from playing a PC game in that manner?The feel above all else. It simply *FEELS* like an interface tailored for a joypad and not a mouse and keyboard. Don't get me wrong, once you get accustomed to it(and do some tweaking) its really not bad at all but at the very least to me it still feels awkward.
A nitpick here also but some have mentioned the size of the font on the PC version as a bit of a problem being that no matter what resolution you set, the font remains very large. Its not a complaint I share or even care about since its so minor but its small things like that that really set the PC crowd off (yes a majority are fickle I know)
Getting back on subject though, DX2 is one of the few PC games that I would actually forego an M+K setup for a joypad without a second thought because it feels much better on the Xbox controller.
Graphically on a top of line system the PC version wins easily. On my 3.06 gig and 9700 pro there are still patches of some nasty slowdown but all together it runs smoother than its Xbox counterpart and looks better at a high resolution (though I refuse to do anything above 1024X768 since the tradeoff is not worth it). Ion Storm is also working on a patch for the PC version which will include the ability to quick save/load (another item that is really inane to not include in a PC game) as well as some supposed performance/UI changes/fixes. I look forward to seeing what Ion Storm has planned...
