So they just punish dumbness... but it is severe =]

Yeah, very severe...such an amazing game, though.  Microsoft was out of their fucking minds to abandon the controller in lieu of Kinect for the 2010 Heavy Armor.  Basically a slap in the face to anyone who actually paid the $250 for the original+controller, and now has to go out and buy an inferior interface (for mechs), for another ~210 (Game+Kinect)...?  The fuck were they thinking, bunch of absolute assholes.

I must be one of the few people that misses the awesome proprietary video game specific controllers. Densha De Go was epic with the controller :D

I guess it's a consequence of Arcades dying, as they were for the most part just home console versions of the arcade controls. I never did play Steel Battalion, sadly I was a poor teenager when the original came out and £150 was out of my price range at first, by the time I could afford it, it was such a small run that it had completely sold out :(
