What Country are you from. The only time I have ever seen a AZERTY keyboard was when I was in Greece. Just wondering. TT should patch support for AZERTY as a menu item though. Just in case.
Sorry Telltale. I have seen it TT, TG, and TTG.
I think they should patch it for that. Stinks. I do recommend the Wired Xbox controller though. I bought one this year and many games are better with it.
Lol are you serious??? Why wouldn't you support it?
I've found these:

Never used them though...

Are you realy f**kink kidding me ?
25€ for that dumb f**king XBox Game with 5 f**king minutes of work on the PC version ?
Why did I pre-purcharsed this game ??? Last time in my whole LIFE !!!!!
It's a shame !!! I CAN'T PLAY !!! I DON'T want to install a keybord mapper !!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't let your proud ruin your past-time.
The day I'll want an XBox, I'll buy an XBox !
What's the next step ? An XBox Emulator ? Seriously ??

add here english united states or something(i speak dutch so i dont know it in english) normally then if you are in game and you press the left alt + the shift key it changes it the english united states. If you are done with the game you don't have to push a button.
The only game controllers I own is a N52 and a mouse. So for a game that
is suppose to for PC and you can't remap the keys just plane sucks.:mad:
buttons to the game.
AZERTY is used within major European Countries and being able to play my game in AZERTY or remap the keys is a basic function.
I supported Teltate so far for all games but this time they did a big mystake and must correct it.
Can you use the arrow keys? If not I would wanna remap that. Seriously.
As far as movement controls, they are WASD like in any other game, I dont see them really being a problem.
EDIT I just asked my left handed roomate about what he likes to use on a keyboard, since I never cared to notice and he says WASD does him fine too since if you think it about it, if you touchtype at all, you are pretty ambidextrous when you type with both hands so idk.
I'm playing with a PC. I'm not using a QWERTY keyboard. So the game gets really really messy. How come Tellgame releases a game in 2012 without giving user the ability to configure controls, even by editing a text file?
Yes, you can play with a USB X360 controller, but again you can't remap, and the Y axis (for me at least) is still wrong.
A polite email to Telltale asking for a patch went unanswered.
Someone please tell them it's 2012. Remapped keys/inverted axis options should be standard in every game in this day and age.
This had occurred to me when i posted about this before.
The current control scheme does add to the tension of combat moments because of how many steps it takes to hammer something to death.
Is this what you meant with "by design"?
Truth. There's one thing I am super thankful to Telltale for regarding this game, and that is that they came out with a demo on Xbox Live. If they hadn't done that, I would have bought the game based on reviews and would, naturally, have assumed that a basic function like controller inversion was available. But since I got to try the demo first, I realized that they screwed up and was able to save myself the cash.
Such a shame. I had been fascinated by this game's previews for quite a while and was really looking forward to playing it. But because of a poor or stubborn design choice to not allow inversion and custom controls, I can't play it without feeling like my brain is backwards and wanting to throw the controller. Really hoping for an Xbox patch....until then I'll just sit here with my money in my pocket.
haha jk maybe they'll release a patch and/or include the option in ep2
It shouldn't matter. The number of people mentioning this issue show there was a need for it. Oh well. Seems like since they don't even bother to comment on it they're not going to change it. I shall use my MS points to buy the Batman expansion instead....
WASD on an AZERTY keyboard has to be remap by the player as : QZSD
Otherwise it give you this :
WASD can be remap in QZSD in every seriously developped game.
And has this game is delivered through episodes or chapters. Devs could seriously make this tuning available with the 3rd chapter.
Or they should specify that it a US retail game only on Steam.
For instance. Actually this game is in violation of the French law on video game distribution. Because every game sold on the french market has to have wether French dialogue or french subtitles. Here we have none of that.
So we can complain about the keyboard mapping AND the game as it's not multi-lingual (with spanish, german, french, italian subs).
Now I hope that allof you qwerty users understand the problem my follow french player has.
In order to play Telltales games with a keyboard which has not the same specific layout as the one that was used while developing the games, you will first need to:
- Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
- On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
- Click Add.
- Expand English (United States).
- Expand Keyboard list, click to select the English (United States) check box, and then click OK.
- Click OK to close the windows.
- Note The Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you rest the mouse pointer over this bar, a tooltip appears that describes the active keyboard layout.
Then every time you run a game:- In the game, open the graphic options.
- Set the full screen mode off.
- Make sure that the game has the focus and click The Language bar, and then click English (United States).
- Set the full screen mode back on.
I won't complain about the game not being multi-lingual, because I understand that translating a whole game is big work, I'm glad I can play the game in it's original version, and I would be very frustrated that some stupid laws would prevent me to buy something that I can enjoy.I still complain about the keyboard as I know how easy it is to implement (except if the game engine becomes some kind of white elephant), and considered how slight the answer from TTG was.
Actually, it is not a problem for me. I wanted to show the game to my friend. I found so shameful that the game - still being a bit very simple (a bit too much in my view) - can't be played by newbies who liked the series outside of a qwerty country.
If you ask Telltale to put "qwerty keyboard" in the "PC Recommended System Requirements", they won't do it because it sounds ridiculous. If they can't fix it, it may be because they didn't plan it in advance and now they are stuck. Or maybe they take those kind of complaints as some trolling.
I really wish they could consider seriously to review their control system for future games. When you sell your games all over the world, the least is to make the minimal effort for keeping them compatible.
I think that it won't change anything for Telltale's followers like me. Telltale may lose some new customers but that may be ok for their business. And still, I really hope this kind of games will still be available in my country (just get rid of this QTE stuff ^^ ).
