The pivot-and-step (as I call it) controls are always horrid, and that's no different in the RE games (until RE4 and Outbreak, I believe).
But controls aside, the series has a lot to it... I think. I can't play them because I'm a sissy. But I love the story, and I love all the little files you can find in each game.
And the girl who played Rebecca in the original RE is cute.
But yeah, the games, as a whole, aren't boneriffic. But when taken as face value - B-Movie style acting, story, and events - they're enjoyable from a storyline perspective.
I think Dragon Warrior (at least the early ones) are overrated. They're boring, with very little story to drive it. And a enemies toward to end are cheap (not difficult). Fucking homos in DW2 used instant-death spells that had a very good chance of killing at least 1 person. And then they can do it twice in a row, in case you weren't pissed already. Fucking hate that series, but so many people hold it as high as Final Fantasy.
I hope Square phases Enix out, along with all their shitty games.
