Look everyone should have known about the controls all along. By making it so you cant shoot and move at the same time, it adds a sense of urgency and tension. It also means you cant do the typical FPS and back up while shooting to clear yourself of danger. While its not survival horror anymore its still a game thats suppposed to be suspenseful and things like that build suspense and tension. If you dont like the controls dont buy it, simple as that, why waste your time bitching about it on forums, what good is that going to do?

 

He asked for impressions, being unable to try it himself. Why would we not list pro's and con's and mention controls? It was part of the impression and my impression was that the controls were not very good, so I told him. What good is it going to do? That's like saying you shouldn't name negative things in reviews because its no use. Metal Gear Solid 4 has semi-similar controls and those are awesome, so it certainly isn't that it can't be done in a 3rd person shooter/survival or similar game. And making it difficult to aim because of the sloth in the cursor movements does not add suspense imo, it begets frustration and is totally uncalled for in a game that revolves around shooting.
