It just feels lazy to me, like the developer couldn’t be bothered adjusting the UI for consoles so they copied the PC interface and bound the mouse cursor to a stick. Some games do both at the same time, having menues navigable both with buttons and a cursor, but usually that makes all menus unreliable and unprecise as hell.
Lol laziness, typical Gamer™ response. Like the devs just sit back, relax and twiddle their fingers all day in the office. No it’s management who doesn’t give a fuck and don’t allot time and money to the devs to create a better UI. Because they rather have that money paid out as a bonus for themselves.
