Left handed
I have just bought Far Cry 3 for PC and so far I'm loving it, however there is one small issue that realy bugs me, when game devs totaly ignore left handed people :mad:
I am left handed, so I have to use my mouse in my left hand. This means my primary click is the right button, and secondary click is the left button. As with most left handed people I have set my windows mouse options to switch the buttons for left handed use, now most games respect this and the mouse buttons work as I have set in windows, however there are a few games (unfortunatly ubisoft games tend to fall in this catagory) who totaly ignore the windows mouse settings and force us left handers to use right handed set up.
Yes I can rebind for shoot and aim in game, but there is nothing we can do about the menus etc needing us to use our seconary mouse button to get a primary click. It's anoying, confusing and disapointing that large well respected game developers can just ignore us for being left handed.
Surely it cant take much to just recognise how a player has his mouse set up, please have some consideration for us lefties :cool:

So update, I have now liberated the 2nd village in the starter area, this has given me more missions, so i headed back to the main vilage to try my hand at the knife throwing mission !
<rant>
I'm a left hander and I know this game ignores that so when I press E to sellect the knife throwing mission I expect the menu that follows to also ignore me as a leftie, so i left click to choose a challenge level and nothing happens, yeah wow not content to confusing us with the main menus, they make the sub menus (i.e. challenge menus) work with how you have fire/aim set up. I know have a head ache !
so in game right click fires, left click is aim (set by reconfiguring in options), in menus left click (my 2nd finger) is select (try double clicking with your 2nd finger its a pain), yet if i go into a mission such as the knife throwing the menues the work the other way around, they follow fire/aim and not the convoluted/left handed ignored left click to accept, they need right click to accept !!!!!!111111
WTF!
CAPS USED HERE AS I AM SERIOUSLY PISSED !!!
wth IS GOING ON? DO I LEFT CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK? SERIOUSLY GUYS YOU ARE TAKING THE PISS, I AM LEFT HANDED AND YOU ARE TREATING ME LIKE CRAP FOR IT, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS, YOU HAVE A GREAT GAME, THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING, THE STORY AND PLAYTIME SEEM SO FAR TO MATCH THAT, OS WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOUR BEST TO CONFUSE AND ANOY THYE HECK OUT OF US LEFT HANDERS !
</rant/>
We're people too, we buy your games ( all rainbow six (yes i read the book 1st), all ghost recon, all splinter cell, far cry1 & far cry 3) I am seriously thinking of boycoting games that ingonre left handers, we are fed up of it, take a stand and stand up for us, make a patch that alows left handed game play and incorporate it into your other games. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS or you will loose serious gamers !

Yep, I can feel into your pain even I am a right-handed - a simple check option in the mouse menu "left-handed" should do the trick to switch buttons/menus. Even Microsoft has no such (simple) option in their mouse driver software.

2020 still nothing.
push?
Almost every game and software does this but ubisoft games.
