Nothing screams 'console port' to PC players quite like shoddy mouse implementation. The mouse pointer just pops up at random during dialog and menus. Moreover, the developers didn't even bother to design a mouse pointer graphic inspired by the world of the game itself.
Has it ever been mentioned that these things will be polished? The PC version is feeling like an afterthought for many other reasons, including these.
Yes. Also when pointed at the edge of the screen it brings out the windows desktop. Also, they are missing a 'back' button on some of menu's it just feels early access an needs polishing up, which is disappointing for £49.99 game. The lack of variety/content and common sense polish in the PC version has me feeling a bit ripped off tbh. Quite a chunk of work to be done here.
@verminpup yes that too. Having to alt-f4 out of a triple A release in 2018 is just depressing. Also me and many of my friends have had the game freeze when exiting which is annoying.
@verminpup God, ALT+F4 out of the game isn't something I've ever, ever had to do in any game I've played since 1995. Also, totally agree that a subtle mouse pointer would be ideal. I just want to be able to know by this subtle visual cue that I'm indeed in a fullscreen game and Windows hasn't taken over somehow.

I do feel ripped off too. TBH, I haven't much touched the game since the first week of release. I guess I just don't like being an afterthought as a customer.
I'm not sure about this, but I'm fairly sure that most of the Xbox games for windows games are intended to be played with a controller. You get rumble functionality as a given and the interfaces are designed for controllers. I agree the ALT F4 option is clunky but it also seems to be the trend in games in Windows 10, honestly though I ALT F4 everything, I don't know when the last time I clicked to close anything was.
While I 100% agree with everything said. Something to note;
As this is a windows app, if you point your mouse to the top of your screen, you will get the standard windows 10 option bar, with an X in the top right to close the window.
MAYBE they intend this to be the closing function, as they think it is intuitive being a windows app, but the reality of it is, microsoft are so far behind the 8 ball when it comes to their design philosophy around the windows store / apps, the game should have a native exit button..
@gianni001 you nailed it when you said "their design philosophy" about the store. even when I click 'library' in the dropdown menu it still shows the beta versions of the game and a load of pointless apps nobody cares about instead of my actual purchases. I don't understand how they can get it so wrong.
@ninjaloot DUDE same here, just want some nanners, get stupid white pointer which is miles away from the radial menu. Maybe I need to get over myself but I also would like a different in-game mouse pointer. preferably without downloading one.

Just install your own!
I use several custom mousepointers that match the game better than the standard white pointer. Theres tons of nice looking ones, i use a fantasy pointer thats a gold arrow, looks very good ingame.
I didn't even know this was possible. First time I've ever had to resort to this in my twenty years of PC gaming. Thanks though, I'll look into it.
