    my names olly the octopus :D
    this is driving me crazy. :eek:

    ive mapped a few of my keys to my liking but on two occasions so far (attacked by a baddy and wolves) i need to be an octopus.

    the baddy.
    first kick him in the nuts and then bite his neck. then grab the gun and shoot. then mash left and right arrow keys and press EEEEE and then shoot him.
    as i go for the mouse to shoot a split second of stopping left and right arrows or EEEE and he shoots my face off.

    with the wolf in the cave its roughly the same thing.

    theres no option to map the left/right arrow keys so how does everyone else manage these maneuvers?

    please dont say a gaming controller

    ta muchly :)

    I meant to say that instead of wriggling the left/right arrows you could just use A/D. Sorry for coming across as insincere but bro you need to look beyond appearances..

    thanks guys. sponge was spot on with the A & D keys and im sort of enjoying the game now.
    only other two games ive played like this is batman arkham city/asylum so im slowly getting into other types apart from first person shooters.
    might try hitman next while i wait for battlefield 4 :D
