Fucking stupid. "Uhhh... We only have four shitty letter blocks for a D-Pad so let's remove full rotation and only let the character move in four directions like an idiot."

"Oh shit we lost the source code for the console version because we are morons. Let's use the crappy PC movement..."

It's an issue for one old game and I'm literally asking if it happens with modern games. Bad reading comprehension. Big surprise. Lol.

Four big letter blocks for movement is ass for all games though. That part is just true.

Back when I was a kid I played games with a keyboard because I couldn't afford a controller. I thought playing with a keyboard was for poor people until I learned people still play with them now lol.

RTS and stuff like that makes sense but an exploration game? Total ass...

So you unironically believe that since some "old game" you played, there haven't been any advancements in PC gaming/controls?

Yeah I don't buy it. That's like going up to someone that owns a PS5 and saying "durr do your graphics still look like a bunch of trianglez, loser?"

W + A = diagonal (forward left) movement.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Whoa, slow down there. TCs mind probably can't handle complex skills like pushing two buttons at once.

Shut your BF28/9 sound hole and listen up.

Wait until he finds out about moving a mouse around.

Nothing to do with the limitations of keyboards. Old PS1 games had movement like that too. Only move in 4 directions, turn the camera with the shoulder buttons, etc.

But no, modern games don't do that.

Thanks. :)

One example is FF8 Remastered and the original FFVIII. It had full rotation on PS1 but not PC apparently. For the sake of conversation, why was it done that way? Why not let us use the mouse to rotate?

Right?

it isn't hard to figure out. Do you EVER hear people complaining PC gaming sucks because you can only go 4 directions including HUGE games like Minecraft and Fortnite? You don't, because that isn't how it works.
