"Metroid worries"

Okay, I just got Metroid Prime today, and I've only been playing it about 2 minutes and I'm worried already. Do you really have to push down the L button to strafe? That's crap! So you can't turn and strafe at the same time? Rubbish! I can't see anywhere in the options to change the controls. You can't even use the camera stick to move your view around, can you?

Someone tell me this isn't so, I need a control system I can use or I'll never play it.

Well no offence but i dont think some people can play the more complex games that become simple when they bother playing it....

No we don't.

It grates and it is bothersome. Well done snuggly you hit it on the head in your post previous to this. I put forward some home truths on this issue in some balanced and well worded posts and guess what...the thread that contained these was deleted :o/

I didn't pick a fight and I didn't slate, flame or swear. I just said what a whole lot of people want to but don't or can't be bothered to (becuase they end up leaving in disgust).

Rah.

It's still rubbish.

Me thinks some people should stick to playing heartless cashins on the 1st person genre.

It's no wonder the PS2 sells so well.

"The controls are rubbish"
"no they're different, is it really that hard to get used to a new kind of control setup?"
"It doesn't play like Timesplitters 2"
"It's not supposed to play like Timesplitters 2 or any of the other of the boring, textbook, 1st person shooters. It's original and innovative is that too hard to understand?"
"There's no multiplayer and it's not Halo"
"Oh feck it, me thinks you'd be better off trying a new game"

No idea.

.......

Different like Rupert the Bear.

Different like Rupret The Monkeyboy?

But its not.

Just because its a bit different.....

Or that it's rubbish
