I think if everybody here were to go back and play Re2 now, comparing it to what the videogame medium has achieved nowadays, e'd all realize how fucking abhorrent the controls for that series used to be.
I recently went back and played Re2 again, and I just couldn't be bothered to refinish it again, because I've been spoiled with absolutely awesome and intuitive controls in today's gaming offerings, but I assure you in this day and age, if a game with that control scheme came out these days, it would be absolutely slandered and shunned by every major credible review site (ie 1up.com, Escapistmagazine, CVG, etc.)
