[b]***[/b]This looks lengthy on my phone so sorry if it's a long read. Oh, this isn't just for lefties either. All are welcome!
[b]Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! It's nice to see a hella dope community.[/b]
[b]*Second Edit* I've read all the comments and I'm very pleased with such postive feedback! It's nice to hear your guys' opinions![/b]
Hello everyone! Who will read this...! So, just like a majority of people, I've been gaming for a long time. I can't wait to get my hands on Destiny and I can imagine you guys can't either. Anyways, on to my topic. [b]I'm a lefty[/b] and I play southpaw whenever given the option. But, what always bugged me was that every shooter, rpg, etc., has your character right handed. (Correct me if I'm wrong) I know it's something small to complain about for some but I'd like to see my character holding their gun with their left hand, left finger on the trigger. I think it would be cool to have my character reflect me. Would that be a possible option? To change the way your character(s) hold a weapon? Would it be a bit harder for people to adjust because of the traditional right handed characters? Can it happen? Maybe not in this upcoming game but in the future? Am I complaining over something that is small to others?! Opinions welcome. Thanks for taking the time for reading this too! Oh! Is there anyway I could submit ideas as well? Thanks again!

I am a lefty too, I just like default instead of southpaw. [spoiler]My friends get jelly when I pitch[/spoiler]

Left handers are the devil....
-
Dont worry pal....link on the wii was made lefty .We are in good hands

Urgh, I thought you meant Socialism! I came on here all ready to rip into some pinkos with a classic Milton Friedman quote and you ruined it with your irrelevant left-handed misleading non-sense. Well, still, I'm sorry you have backwards hands and all. Love, Diveb0mb X0x\0/xoX

Ya this would be great I am not left handed normally except when Im fireing a gun because looking down a barrel while shooting with my right hand is impossible when youre blind in your right eye

Edited by Gamewiz56: 8/1/2014 1:21:30 AMMilitary vet here. Lots of lefties learn to fire right handed. The only real issues they have are brass ejection flinging spent rounds back into their face because of it's placement on the weapon. That's just an fyi it always struck me as strange that AAA titles left that detail out.
-
I don't know about that just because most lefties I know shoot right handed (like my dad). And it would be a very minor thing compared to many blatant problems

You have violated the code of conduct, prepare to face ninja justice

Edited by THREEPOUNDER: 8/2/2014 9:06:28 PMUnite! My only gripe about the weapons is the fact that if thear is a round still in the chamber because i reloaded before the mag was spent, why am i cocking another round in?

[quote]what always bugged me was that every shooter, rpg, etc., has your character right handed. (Correct me if I'm wrong)[/quote] Majority of VALVe games have this option if I'm not mistaken - at the very least, Team fortress 2 does. This would be a nice option for people who want it. It's actually really disorienting to look at when you start, but it would be as easy to impliment as bungie mirroring the character model in order to give the character the appearance of left-handedness.

Im left handed. Ive always wanted this to be an option. The only game i knew that could do it was counterstrike. I dont rember if it was source or 1.6 but i remember havin a left handed character.
-
I'm blind, I would like the screen completely pitch black please.
-
It is surprisingly distractive to see the gun wielded right handed in first person shooters. It just looks wrong...
-
I'm a lefty and I support this message.

I think it really depends on what eye is dominant, for instance I am lefty (oh yeah) and I do all things righty as my right eye is my dominant eye. I do throw a baseball or the like as a lefty, but beyond that i am mainly righty such as in batting or golf and stuff. So if you are right eye dominant and left handed, you will more than likely shoot as a right handed person. At least i do...now go get them Guardians. Link for eye test above, enjoy.

I'm a southpaw as well, all hail the 10%!
-
Beards > left handed toons.
-
Im a lefty too, but i have always played games in the default "right handed" mode. I also do a lot of other thins with my right hand i.e. hold a broom/mop, computer mouse, etc. Lefty's ftw.
-
I play Ghost Recom Phantoms on PC it lets you switch hands with X. Put a Righty- Lefty choice in the menu would work
-
I'm a lefty as well, but I learned the default controls. So while this isn't a big issue for me, I'm fine if they add something like that.
-
This is why we should just have guns in both hands. >:l
-
Haha Lefties lol
-
You could play zelda, link is left handed :D
-
I shoot leftie since I'm left eye dominant and it's how I've always shot since I first started learning when I began my younger days hunting for fun. The funny thing is that I'm actually right handed but it feel so unnatural and harder to shoot right handed for me.

Just be happy your character is superior

I've thought about that years ago when I was playing phantasy star online for dream cast. My first online gaming experience and making a character I thought that would just naturally be one of the character creation options. Have not thought of it since but cool to see that I am not alone. I support it and I am not even one of the lefties. Just keep in mind (at least in our world (and to my knowledge at least)) that there are no left handed firearms made. So your character is going to see brass ejection flying across their screen.
