Most of these developers never played the originals like Golden Eye and Turok when they came out because the developers were practically in diapers in the late 90's. By the way, you have to do the awkward index finger reach while moving to use sprint. Takes a bit to get used to, but it's doable. Yes, gamers develop for children and don’t think beyond that.

How do we move with R stick and sprint with A button? Sadly I have only one thumb on my rigt hand. R3 for sprint/cover maybe? How difficult is it? Another bizzare half assed southpaw config.

As much as I think all games should have ability to change stick control types... Games that have the potential to reach more than usual gamers need more options because newer to the game have a difficult time playing as is... Mass Effect's story ability really appeals to my wife, but the controls are making her want to put it away for good. I had to finish her Eden Prime mission for her (she stopped @ the train).. luckily I was able to switch the invert. She's plays legacy, non-inverted.. I forced myself to switch my settings from where she is to default/inverted back on Mech Assault 1, but she doesn't play nearly as much as I did back then.. so it may take much longer for her to change over.. seems like she'll have to unless BioWare updates the both Mass Effects, but she'd probably just give up if that's the case.. and that's a shame.
