i just got dead space 2 but i'm so disappointed

gareth170 · 31 Jan 2011 at 20:13

hi

i payed for dead space 2 today. installed it and ran the game. went to settings, controls , to custom them, and guess what!!! theres no way to have the walk forward on a mouse button... it makes me so mad that game companys don't make they games fully custom controls....

if they can have the fire assigned to a mouse button, surely they could have assigned the other actions to a mouse button...

so now i can't play this game and i wasted £25..

*Details Update* (keeping things in the original post so it is easier to find)

Why do you need to walk using the mouse button? Surely you can use an alternative albiet not your first choice.

with my head

dbmzk1 · 31 Jan 2011 at 20:38

How the hell you play a game like Dead Space with your head?!?!?!

As suggested though, there are other ways to map keys other than using the in game setup.

maybe you could invest on a mouse that you can customize all its buttons?

Aedus · 31 Jan 2011 at 20:47

What the hell.

easy!!!

, played crysis without issues. also other games like that.

also driving games such as f1 2010 and dirt 2 and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, using a xbox360 controller, driving controls assigned to the right analog stick.

If it is, you sir, are a skilled and inspirational man.
