How do spaceships strafe? Rockets on the sides of them! Who cares? It makes for great gameplay. Once you learn how to slide it gets even better.
And do you actually think those games you play are realistic? If they were realistic it would take months to figure out how to control the ships. And then there would be no lasers, no sound effects (no sound in space), and it would be extremely boring.
If you like that cheap way of making games tough by making the controls unintiuitive, by all means have your fun. I'd much rather have more complex dog fights than crappy controls.
Oh really? So what, you're the authority of the universe now? Just about every single PC game reviewer would disagree with you right there.
But it's ok, ABF. You made up your mind about hating the controls before you even played it so now you can't go back and change your mind because that would be admitting you're wrong. God forbid.
