We (seasoned core gamers) are trained in it (it’s basically a mouse-and-keyboard scheme derived from PC 1st person shooters), but I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen focus tests where players (both adults and kids) are stuck in a corner looking down at the floor, completely bewildered about the controls.

I’m surprised Traveler’s Tales hasn’t resolve the camera control issue… it’s a core part of their game design and the one thing that people always mention as problematic…
