Although of course I support the Wiimote, it's BS that other controllers are too complicated. Of course you've gotta get used to them a little bit, but they make playing games a lot easier. I don't want to insult anybody, but these people seem somewhat simple-minded, thinking that everything should come in such a way you can immediately understand it.

 

What makes you think so? The thing that people are looking from their gadgets is ease to use. You propably have a mobile phone? Which phone would you choose, a phone from the 80:s, which was the size of 360, battery lasted hour or two and the phone weigted several kilograms, or a todays phone which fits your palm (and any pocket for that matter), weighs hundred grams and battery lasts hours of talking? Of course you need to get a little used to the mobile from 80:s, but it makes talking a lot easier. It's a little simple-minded to think that everything should come in such a way that they would be practical to use. I mean, just look at what happened to mobile phones market after the phones became more practical.

 I don't think I understand you completely... are you saying that the 80's phone is easier to use, and you'd pick that one when given the choice? I'm sure that's not what you meant, but I can't figure out exactly what it is then.

Also, on the bolded parts, we're saying the exact same thing, right? So what's the deal?
