I just got Rainbow Six: Lockdown for XB. An amazingly stupid bug renders the left analog stick useless when you switch stick controls to southpaw config. How does this crap get past quality control? I mean do they even play the damn thing? Absolutly amazing.

It's official: Ubisoft hate left-handed people.

 

[radrelic]

It's a Ubisoft game, what do you expect?

 

[Sinatar]

Does ubi release non buggy games these days? Summit Strike has all kinds of farked up issues as well.

 

[newsguy]

A little off-topic, but I'm lefty and I couldn't imagine switching the sticks for FPS. Do you fap with your left hand? I don't

Well you're lucky I guess. Being a lefty is one of the primary reasons I hate console FPS games. It's never clicked with me no matter how much I've tried to acclimate.

Heh. Another reason to like the global option for stick swap in the Guide for X360, I guess.

No way! Its universally possible to do that on 360? Link to where it says that.

Well there are right handed people who fap with their left!

I've always wondered about the difference between left handed gamers and right. The PS controller seems to be the only one that could cater to lefties, but even then, the dpad has a center whereas the face buttons dont. Also, you can't press up and down at once, or left and right.

I figured lefties play it like the righties. Why do they have a left handed config for Lockdown?

I know this quote doesn't specifically say stick swap, but it does speak of general control settings and the ability to swap sticks is always an oprion.

Finally, Vrignaud explained the broad, optional settings attached to a gamer profile which all games will monitor. These include difficulty levels, Y-axis inversion setting, preferred car transmission type (automatic or manual), and a handful of other extremely common game settings. There is then a requirement that game, on its first boot, checks those optional settings, so if the player always uses FPSes with inverted controls, he will never have to reset it in individual game cases - a welcome innovation for many.

No unfortunately in my experience it is not always an option. Its rather rare actually. And its not suggested that it is one in that article.

 

[raYne]

Well I'm talking about FPS' And offhand I can't name one that doesn't have the option.

That's probably because you control your mouse with your left hand

Its true. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/9133/Xbox-360-New-Details-from-GDC-Europe/

One of the things that the Gamer Profile will include is your common game settings for different types of games. So for example, you always use automatic gear in racing games and inverted Y-axis controls in first-person shooters, once you load any racing game or FPS, the game will automatically load your Gamer Profile settings, saving you to set up any of these in the game configuration screen.
