Telltale Games

Whomever designed the movement controls should be keelhauled. Just infuriating! Detracts from any enjoyment I might get playing the game. And some manager must have approved of it. Who are these monkey brains?

What was wrong with a simple point and click?

And that's still not enough examples to state how stupid the designers are!

*Silverwolfpet* · 04/05/2010, 01:54 pm

But...I like the designers

*Macfly77* · 04/05/2010, 02:02 pm

I had some difficulties with the controls when I started playing Launch of the Screaming Narwhal.
I ending up using the keyboard for the whole episode.
Then, I started using click'n drag for The Siege of Spinner Cay and I've never looked back.
I love it and think it's a great update to point'n click.
Telltale's designers are AWESOME!

PS: They are human beings. You might not agree with the control methods they chose to implement, but that is no reason to disrespect them.

You should cut out with the insulting, really.

I actually found the arrow keys quite fun to use and they worked very well in the game so thank you TTG you are my heroes. LeBill you are prick. they worked very VERY hard to bring MI back to life and according to 99.9% percent of people it was a huge success. so no one wants to hear what you have to say when your criticism isn't even constructive, its just cold hearted. so please leave these forums.........forever

*Irishmile* · 04/05/2010, 06:01 pm

Yeah I actually used my logitec rumblepad in my left hand and the mouse in my right.

Learn some manners my friend.

plrichard · 04/05/2010, 08:29 pm

Wow, this is ridiculous. I had absolutely no issues with the controls at all and I think Yare gets such a bad rap and I will never understand why. I've never had any problems with any of the controls ever and I don't know why other people do. Sure you can have a difference of opinion but calling them stupid? Really? Get over yourself.

Giant Tope · 04/05/2010, 08:39 pm

People are just upset because things are different and people have difficulties accepting change. Especially if that's the way it's been since they were kids.

What's wrong with having point and click as an option? I swear, MI fans are the most rabid bunch.
