More buttons = more better game, that's why everyone knows and loves Steel Battalion
Flight sims with all the stupid toys you plug into the computer are also good
I agree but also they are too niche to be a GOTY contender
Plus sometimes you just want to sit down and play a bit of a game (instead of spending an hour re-binding controls)
I'm not about to go to bat that Steel Battalion was GOTY (though the title now makes me think of Steel Ball Run, and mecha Jojo might be cool . . . ) but I think it's perfectly fair to say that a game very few people played can still be GOTY. Silly example, Jerma insists that Withering Rooms was GOTY last year or whenever it came out and I'm not fully inclined to agree, but sales aren't really why and his is a much stronger choice than what many people would pick.
I was kinda meaning in terms of popular consensus rather than sales. There's plenty of games I have no interest in playing that I think are good
Dwarf Fortress was ruined by mouse controls!
I played tons of ASCII games back in the day, but dwarf fortress was a solid nope for me, lol
I mostly disagree, but personally I preferred the pure keyboard controls.
