And going back to my point, flipping the screen is inferior to simply running away from the direction you were facing. It takes pressing something unnecessary -then you get to watch as your screen wraps you around.. which is arguably jarring if you do it often. And then you can begin running away.

All of that is inferior (meaning slower, more annoying) to hitting a direction and your character running that way.

The thing is, it actually does take less to do that on a keyboard than it does on a gamepad. Likewise, moving the way 1.0 or console games do on a keyboard is more tiresome. You try moving like that on a keyboard, and you'll have 3 of your fingers dancing around your WASD keys, while with the standard keyboard/mouse movement controls it could take only one key and a movement of the mouse with your other hand.

I definitely can see how it is nicer for keyboard and mouse users, but being mostly a gamepad user I can also see why it's pretty uncomfortable on a gamepad. That's why I hope they'll deliver both options (which apparently they might).
