by the way , some games acutally say "press the start button". dirt rally for example, on the ps4, says press the "option" button. but you can press any button. so im not accepting that answer

They probably want to avoid normies pressing the home button or power button or maybe even a button on an entirely different device. The could be sued. My uncle is a lawyer at Nintendo

i like it when its a japanese port on steam or whatever and since japanese ppl are retarded they leave the pres start message and you have to guess whether they mean z, x, space, or some other key for start and u have to press every key on the kb until u find it.

we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.
Are there any games that allow you to start playing by pressing a direction on the analog stick or D-pad? Being able to use any button to start is convenient and makes sense but I don't think I'd be comfortable if a game started when I pressed up on the analog stick.

yeah actually they will

japanese pc games are epic

my favorite is the ones where pressing 'escape' instantly quits to desktop.

I assume it's for emergency purposes.

Remember back in the DOS days when games had "boss mode" where you could press a key and it would switch to an innocuous looking C:\ prompt?

My friends and I would do a version of divekick where if you lost your opponent took your controller and got to rebind your keys without you looking

I reflexively tried to use the share button as a select key and games that use the track pad as menus still mess me up. Like witcher 3

I like when games won't let you scroll through options with the d-pad. You MUST use the select button.

And then there's Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego for the NES. I remember mashing all the buttons over and over until I finally left the start screen.
