Casual Difficulty: Controller Anxiety

Just like Ezra Pound turned to the origins of the English language and Pablo Picasso turned to the basic shapes and colors of painting, game designers are returning to the fundamentals of design—and we have the casual gaming market to thank for it.

Street Fighter 4 could really benefit from that controller...

It's amazing how this guy can complain about a measly 13 buttons on a gamepad when people hotkey 36 macros, use number keys 1-0, use the default movement keys, and any other various keys used to play games on PC.

I welcome complex control schemes. Not frustrating, but complex. Controls that suit a game well and require more than playing a game of CoD, jumping to the next game and knowing the exact layout of every key, button, action, and movement.

... so you can make a selection from within your first selection of selections. Because with more complex controllers we will get more complex menu screens.

Looks like the controller my first girlfriend in junior high gave me to assist in finding her G-Spot. Some things, take a little practice.

If you can't handle a controller go play FarmVille on Facebook.

Just looking at that controller seems like its the DS3's basterd deformed child. :P

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit13d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing13d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
