If No Man's Sky fixed the interface and actually told you how quests are related on a chart or something it would be brilliant, and got rid of Pulse Engine fuel too.

In my opinion, AC Origins had massively improved gameplay from the previous games. Stuff like combat and the way the character moved seemed a lot better to me. However, the small, relatively flat and sparsely populated cities in Origins just weren't as impressive as the huge, bustling cities in Unity and Syndicate.

Nintendo came up with modern controller design in 1990. And while Sony and Microsoft have been content to just replicate Nintendo's SNES controller with some minor adjustments to what the buttons are labelled, Nintendo kept experimenting and innovating, never treating controller design as a settled question that could just be iterated on in tiny ways for the rest of time. They even settled the question themselves with the Gamecube controller, the best controller ever, but they still kept on trying. Let's salute Nintendo

A lot of Japanese games use circle to accept and x to cancel though, so the xbox controller is the one screwing it up!

On a SNES controller it should be A = accept, B = cancel, but B = jump and Y = attack, while A = special attack/talk to people in RPG. Anything else is weird. I got really annoyed with my Retropi because it defaults to the weird A = jump B = attack scheme, except for actual SNES games.

Can modern PCs boot without a detected keyboard? I guess the one "advantage" of a console over a PC is that its whole system can be controlled with a glorified TV remote, which is actually an disadvantage if you are interested in using sensible, non-maddening controls for typing and navigating menus instead.

They had A on the right, B on the bottom for years before Sony came along, and then Sony did the same thing (Circle to confirm, X to cancel) until it turned out that western players apparently found "red circle = confirm" confusing, despite it being in the same position as the confirm/cancel buttons on the Nintendo consoles we were all used to. So after that, all Playstation games in the west had the confirm/cancel buttons flipped, and Microsoft followed suit, so now Nintendo looks like the outlier to westerners. Basically what I'm saying is it's all Sony's fault that I can't use my Xbox controller anymore because I played too much Switch yeah, that makes sense

There's a few exceptions where the story is actually kind of interesting but if your game is about gameplay the story should only exist to contextualize gameplay and no more than that.
