WASD vs. Arrow Keys

Posted by kristen1027 Sep. 9, 2007 @ 3:00 AM EDT

Here's my problem. My left hand is absolutely stupid. I can't even hold a fork in my left hand. So I can't use the WASD keys to play a game. Maybe a lot of right handed people don't have the same problem and it just sucks to be me but the fact that there isn't an option to use the arrow keys ruins a lot of really good games.

I understand the concept of needing to move and use the mouse at the same time. I really do. And I wouldn't ask anyone to mess up their whole concept of playing the game but it would make me very happy if games gave the option to change the controls. I don't make games, don't know how. So I don't know how much extra work it is to make a change controls option. It may be a lot and it may be nothing.

Your game looked really good and I was looking forward to playing it but unfortunately I can't. I'm not being whiny, I'm simply stating a problem. Make a change controls option. Let me use the damn arrow keys. The best games I see are the ones that let you pick in the beginning which set you want to use. The letters or the arrows.

To those whose games I can't play at the moment. I look forward to (hopefully) playing your games in the future.

well some games do have the 2 options and even if it says WASD to move you press the arrow key and it also move.. But well also many games just move with WASD because it's more comfortable to many people (Including me) but it would be cool that all games have option of changing controls...

Maybe put your mouse on the left of your keyboard and then you would use your left hand to move the mouse and your right to press the keys, if you can't move the mouse with the left hand then i don't know what to recomend

well try to "train" your left hand haha

Ok... This has nothing to do with your journal entry, but I just replied to one of your reviews, and I called you a "sir." Only after I hit the submit button, I realized that Kristen could have been a female's name. And wouldn't ya know it, I'm here and it says you are a female...

So, I apologize, miss. D:
