Season 1 Controls Vs. Season 2 Controls
Just started Season 2 after the wonder that was Season 1 (& the great 400 days). Immediately struck me that the 'improved' controls, icons, prompts are just.... horrible. Spent more time struggling with the controls than being drawn into the story - the darn campfire took me an age & a google search to get past. Why the changes? Season 1 controls were simple & effective. Change for changes sake so for episode 2 onwards is there ANY credible chance we can reclaim simplicity?!

I like the season 2 controls more than season 1 controls.no offence mate but its pretty simple to make these action the scene with the campfire ,first try and done already
I didn't notice any difference.

God i hope you're trolling.
While I didn't have any trouble with the camp fire sequence of events I must say I'm not a big fan of the new layout. It seems much more invasive and a constant immersion breaker, but that's just me. I get caugh by a lot of little things like that.
Yeah, thats exactly my point. Theres a lot more subtlety in these controls compared to the simplicity of Season 1. The controls should be the last thing you have to think about as it yanks you out if the story. I knew I was missing something stupidly obvious with the campfire - but why did I have to think about the controls at all? Its all about the decisions, not pressing 'Y'!
Because you're stupid. They were smart to change the controls, because now you don't have to scroll down to the option, you can just click right to it without accidentally looking at something over and over again. Scrolling is tedious and you most of the time scroll past the option you wanted, which was a problem in season one.
I did like Season 1's controls better. The new ones work for Wolf Among Us, but not exactly for Season 2 with me. But it doesn't ruin the game. It's the most minor of nuisances to me.
I hate S2 QTE arrow pushing like something out of Dragons Lair.
How can you mess up the campfire? Take it you don't play games that much or at all?
I find the new controls noticeably superior. The fact there's a button that makes Clem move faster is great. Telltale took note from their older games (mainly Sam & Max Season 2, 3 and Back to the Future) and their recent The Wolf Among Us. It annoyed me that Lee only had one set speed.
I honestly, don't see how anyone can see these new controls being worse than Season One's only if you overhold the old controls by nostalgia maybe..? Nostalgia for a game that's not even 2 years old yet.
Everything is better. On the PC version of Season One it annoyed me how the dialogue choice interface worked. But Season Two's now going for a choice using a mouse and picking between four boxes is far easier and fluid. Though, I still prefer playing TWD and TWAU with a controller. Simply because I like how the dialogue options go on them. Picking between one of the facebuttons.
Season's 1 controls are better. More simple and well assembled.
Season 2 without question.
