My biggest issue is the controls required nowadays.  Last year I played a little Halo and Left 4 Dead (my first exposure to either of these) with xhonzi, and the thing I kept coming back to was how complicated the controls were.  I was constantly getting killed because I couldn't remember which button did what.  Maybe it was just because I needed more exposure to it, but it seems like console game controllers have gotten more and more complicated.

 

Funny thing is, I used to play PC games a lot, and obviously they got very complicated....but the keyboard seems like a much more reasonable controller to do more than just run, jump, and shoot.

It could just be that I remember it differently... but I think you weren't nearly as bad as I thought you'd be or as you make it out here.  In fact, I thought you were making good strides in the few hours.

I've played with worse.
