Watch me tell THE MOST ACCLAIMED DEVELOPERS IN THE WORLD how to do their jobs. by Jerry Whorebach 08/04/2011, 5:15pm PDT
1. Let me lock the camera behind Nico and control him like the character in any first-person shooter: left analog to run and strafe, right to look and turn. Failing that, at least let me control him like Leon in Reisdent Evil 4. Whatever it takes so I never have to fuck around with that camera again.
2. Instead of an entire arsenal of useless crap to scroll through (why am I still carrying a knife when I have nine guns?), just give me two weapons and a button I can tap to switch between them (an actual button, not a direction on the abysmal 360 D-pad). Never yank a weapon out of my hands; I should always be holding one or the other. If for some reason you want to make me walk around bare-handed, let me tap the weapon switching button once to instantly bring up whichever one I was last using.
3. Work on reducing the time between when I press a button and when something actually happens on screen. The current 10+ frame delay is frankly excessive, and makes controlling Nico needlessly frustrating.

Fix all these issues, and you might have a game that plays almost as well as the very high-quality GTA clone Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. And isn't that what gamers REALLY want?
