The pc version is essentially the core version.
Yep. It absolutely is.
so annoying to press RB&LB to swap between crafting, inventory, and equip.
It was RB/LB to switch between the menu screens in 1.2.4, too. I personally don't see much difference there. I go the wrong way through the menus just as frequently now as I did back then
Pretty much this. It was always RB/LB to toggle the various menu states - just it was tabbed to separate pages/screens before whereas now it is all on one page, more or less. I get the visibility complaints to a degree, but the "way you move around" is more or less the same as it has ever been.
The smart cursor, and regular controls seem the most. Like how the • appears, + appears when disabling it
The smart cursor "yellow box" is lifted from the smart cursor appearance on PC. As is the cursor appearance itself (gamepad style from PC, since it makes more sense here than a mouse cursor arrow, say). It makes sense to lift some gamepad dynamics from what is ostensibly a set of virtual controls that mimic "real" controls - be it gamepad or mouse actions (in regards to, say, touch commands, for example).
What people are totally leaving out and forgetting in all of this is that last bit - touch. My personal experience and watching that of others is that what evolves is that each player finds their own "way" after an initial learning curve... what settings overall, for each weapon/tool type, when to use touch vs when to use dual stick for various things, etc, etc.
The end result is that it plays like neither PC nor console/gamepad - more like a nice hybrid of the two that feels right in using the tools available to you on a mobile device.
IMO, of course. YMMV.
