So I'm playing Final Fantasy XVI. For some God forsaken reason I keep pressing Phoenix Shift when I want to evade a big frontal attack, because Final Fantasy fucking XV has hammered warp striking into my head. It's awful and I hate it, like having two TLOU icons in my home menu.

What are some games that fuck you up because of muscle memory?

 

[Wastelander92]

Sometimes playing Souls game since some buttons e.g. jump and roll can be different between them.

Me 2. Exactly this..

Mafia III and pretty much any other open world crime sandbox.

Nothing really, I only get confused a little bit when moving to the switch and nintendo's "reversed" button placements

I can never, not even if my life depended on it, remember the placement of X and Y when switching between Xbox and Switch controllers.

Nintendo Switch 2 needs to reverse the A/B placement to be in line with Xbox and Playstation.

Im going crazy playing Assassins Creed Mirage trying to use X instead of B for dodging. Using B or Circle for dodging has just become too ingrained into my muscle memory.

Not inexplicably I think, because they share similar concepts. But I'm currently playing both Elden Ring and SW Jedi: Fallen Order, and I mix the controls all the time! It's fairly frustrating specially when I mess something in combat!

Old PS1 games. The flipped confirmation of X and O always trip me up.

Any Nintendo Switch game versus any other platform. Goddamn buttons are reversed.

Agreed. I know it’s how they’ve had their button layout for 30 years, but something has to be done. It isn’t about the button names, it’s the usage. Every other console uses the lower button as the main button, but then Nintendo insists on the right button being the main.

I have to remap the buttons on the Switch. My brain is just unable to reverse the A and B buttons

MS needs to invert X/Y and A/B to properly copy Nintendo layout and end confusions.

This would help humanity but I also don't mind that they don't change it. At least it keeps consistency across their own legacy systems. In Mario RPG remake it was perfect that the 4 buttons hadn't changed. Or just play the ROM of the original on Switch and the buttons match. All of the best-selling systems going back to SNES had it, and they were there first, so I respect that stubbornness lol
