Latelly i have noticed a rash of gamers knocking new games because of the controls. I'll admit the first time i played DOA i was pressing anything i could just to save my ass. But since then i have always tried to learn the combos and sequences as best i could, resulting in a much more pleasurable gaming experience for me. I will usually play in easy mode just to get my practice in, just though a level or 2.
From DOA to Morrowind, Enclave, and now DTR have been said to be too hard, i think some gamers are just getting lazy, don't we want a challenge anymore? Am i wrong?? I notice some reviews being posted with minimal playing time and the controls are the first thing knocked. Is that fair to the game or the readers of reveiws. Obviouslly these are all opionion and one should always judge a game for him or herself.
Have we reached a point were we need to be able to throw the game in learn 1 or 2 basic button functions and ramble through as fast as we can just to say you beet it??
I get just as agrevated with games as the next guy, but i sit back and figure out what i need to do and 9 times out of 10 it helps to learn how to play the game.
So what do you think, button mashers or lazy gamers??
