The controls look so frustrating

[muckymucks]

I like surgery simulators, but in other cases the controls are competent. Seeing gameplay of this game it looks like I wouldn't be able to handle it for even five minutes. How exactly does it work? Bumbling around the screen knocking over everything, not even being able to grab anything without breaking a sweat and shouting expletives. Someone explain this to me!

I dont think this is the game for you, bud. This is a surgery simulator, NOT a surgeon simulator... and your surgeon is a drugged up lunatic :)

...Who isn't even a surgeon in the first place if you read the description. He's just some random bloke.

Dont buy it; the controls are rage inducing

You can find the ''demo'' on the internet.Try and see if you want the full version.

From the videos this "game" looks idiotic with horrible controls...

[GAMER MEE]

Trust me it's Rage material i bought it and within 5 minutes i was yelling xD

[Wobb the Great and Terrible!!!!!]

I tried the "demo" version online. It's horrible.
Did they seriously not fix the control scheme since then? If not I think they have some nerve even charging a single penny for this, and adding TF2 characters to try and milk more money from such a horrible mechanic should be criminal.
But maybe the controls ARE better? Judging from the video trailers, it doesn't look like it though.

The controls aren't broken.

If the game was easier to control it wouldn't be popular.

Judging by the amount of people complaining, and not buying the game because of the horrible controls, then I would say it isn't nearly as popular as it could be if they had good controls, that did what they should do.

The controls might not be "broken" as far as the devs are concernced, but when I press keys/buttons I expect a videogame to respond accordingly

Then why is it called SURGEON simulator?
You don't just perform surgery on people. Well, you don't even do that, you flail around with anything that you can get to stick to your fingers until either the game says you have completed the level, or the patient bleeds to death.
But you also flail around at a desk, with anything you can get to stick to your fingers without flying off the screen never to be seen again.
It's not a game, it's not a simulator, it's someones idea of a joke; "how bad can we make something and still have people think it's good?".
Well done, not only did you all fall for it, you paid for the privilege

A large part of the appeal is the appauling controls. The game is supposed to be comically bad.

[jesse9o3]

The controls are intentionally bad. It's not a simulator it's a comedy game. The impossible controls just make it more satisfiying when you win.

I think the control complaints are hilarious. I wouldn't have bought the game if it's easy to control. It's not supposed to be realistic. You literally rip organs out with your hands and throw them to the side and you don't need them to complete the surgery. Have a few beers with your friends and get one person to control the fingers and another to control the hand (mouse).
