The last really good COD version was UO. Everything since that has been XBox'dâ„¢.
Ugh.
This is ruining the PC gaming industry.
Oblivion: The menus are so clunky it's like they're trying to punish anyone using a mouse and keyboard. Want to look at your map? Tab for the menu, click a category, click the map. Want to go back to your inventory? Category, then inventory.
I guess the right click and show everything from Morrowind (A game that was designed and released for PC and ported to Xbox many years later) was too complicated for the Xboxxers.
Fallout 3: Same thing. Annoying menu. Billions of clicks to do anything simple.
Borderlands: Controlling vehicles is straight out of Halo. You accelerate with W and "steer" by moving the mouse in the direction you want to go. Good Lord it's awful. Your use button will reload your weapon if you miss picking something up (doesn't sound bad but it is annoying trying to pick up HP in the middle of a fight and being forced to wait for your gun to reload before shooting).
RTS games are the only ones still sacred. I was afraid Halo Wars would start trend, good thing it turned out to be awful.
Battlefield 2 (I believe 2142 fell to the console crap), and Killing Floor are the only games I play regularly that feel like genuine PC games. Mass Effect is great, but that style of control works fine for mouse and keyboard without change. I recently got the PC version of Resident Evil 5 and I am enjoying it multiple times more than I did on the Xbox.
Now, I'm off to play Company of Heroes.
