On the PERFECT end: Astral Chain on the Switch

Weapon switching isn't something that I've really dealt with much on PC, so I'm just detailing console and portable experiences here and it ranges quite a bit. Here's a category, here are its subcategories, there's the option you're looking for, easy as pie, and it looks great too.

It's uncomfortable and sluggish, and I feel like it's something longtime PC gamers argue for (and PC developers implement) only because they've been doing it that way for twenty five plus years.Д«ut then, I also feel like the XMB is one of the best UI's ever so maybe I'm just strange. My fingers should have to leave WASD as few times as possible, so no, that's not an acceptable solution. It feels extremely awkward to twist my hand so that my index finger can reach 5 or 6 and those are the easiest to reach without letting go of W. That was all right back when Doom and Wolfenstein 3D did it, but I don't think it is these days. You can pick the gun you want with the number keys in the PC version. If you're going to include a radial menu for weapon or item selection, slow the fucking game down while letting players pick something. This is a rule that should have no exception in any case whatsoever. Wolfenstein, as much as I love it, does not, and that can lead to some frustrating moments where you feel like you should be able to pick a gun faster, but can't because the game doesn't slow down.

Always, always, always, always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS significantly slow the game down or pause it when the player pulls up a weapon wheel.

GTA V gets the slowdown right but sometimes I have problems picking the right thing with a mouse, especially when 'the right thing' is something in a diagonal corner. They are, in my opinion, the best way to pick anything as long as they follow two rules: So are my hands and reflexes just getting worse by age, or have more of you duders faced similar problems with weapon wheels in the past? What games are the worst aggressors in this regard? Or are there games out there which implement weapon wheels very well? I remember some games activating a slowdown when pulling up a weapon wheel, which feels like a relatively OK solution. In the case of Wolfenstein, the situation is made even worse by having the grenade button be the same as weapon select. Using the radial menu as a weapon wheel in FPS games however seems to more often than not lead to situations where I'm making mistakes when selecting weapons or just have to take a lot of time (and damage) while carefully making my choices. I'm generally fine with using radial menus in games for item or power selection in cases where the player is not forced into making quick choices. I feel like there should be a better way by now

As I've been playing through Wolfenstein: Old Blood during the last few days, I've become increasingly frustrated, not only at the way that weapon selection is handled in that game with radial menu but with the concept of weapon wheels in general.
