few genres control schemes have aged as badly as those of RTS games
@halcy oh yeah! i'm amazed that it aged worse than even early 3d
i tried warcraft 1 recently again, and oh my gosh, literally how did i play this
@thingywott meanwhile, half life... honestly still plays great. deus ex, yyyeah, needs some mods, but tolerable.
(super mario 64, which was several years earlier? genuinely better than many contemporary games in the control department, sometimes-weird camera nonwithstanding)
@halcy i feel like quake really just kinda solidified fps controls really nicely on pcs, so those have almost always been pretty alright!
but 3d games on consoles? y i k e
especially before dual analog controls, you had some really janky ways to play things. like, even gta 3's controls are kind of a nightmare
