Urgh. That could have been made clearer. Although that explains why I kept dropping grenades and blowing myself up when I was trying use the 'E' key to pull a lever.
There's a nice long list of testers in the credits, but it's pretty clear to me that JAW didn't do any enough usability testing of the PC port. I wasn't expecting them to be identical to the original controls, but in some cases they're really quite unnecessarily obtuse. And as for the process of reassigning controller buttons - I'll remove the strikethrough there and say that it was completely untested. I spent hours trying to work out how to do it. I could seriously design a better system in less time than it took me to work out what I was meant to do.
All of which I'm trying to say is: If Xtra Bones happens, PLEASE do more testing when you're doing the PC port, JAW. Hell, get in touch with me and I'll do it for free.
