This really depends a lot on what the rest of the control scheme is. If there are a lot of other letter keys involved in actions, then I prefer being able to move with arrows/numpad. If most other things are controlled with the mouse or just another key or two, then I want WASD. If I was a lefty, I'd probably want arrows with the mouse though.

Depends on the kind of game for me.
Roguelikes, I like numpad, because the whole keyboard is hotkeys. For MMOs, I like to be able to juggle between WASD, arrows, and the mouse. For games that involve a lot of inventory management, I prefer WASD and mouse. Otherwise, it's pretty much all gamepad. click to move depends on the genre. It works well in strategy games and iso games, but not much elsewhere. |
If it's a 2d game I don't see why you would limit the movement to WASD or arrows and not give the option to use either or.
The only exception, IMO, is if the player is controlling a camera. If that's the case then an option to have 1 reserved for movement and another for changing camera angles would be nice. even then usually the mouse is used to change angles |
I'm not into WASD, because I recently bought myself a laptop with AZERTY keyboard, so unless there is an option to change it, I'm screwed.
Edit: Recently being 1 year ago. |
Yeah, but even so, the letters on the keys remain, though the keyboard is then english. Makes for some very confusing gameplay.
I remember cheating my way through Morrowind, opening the console only to end up playing a "guess the key" game for my cheats. |
