I did find it a little weird to just " Magically" flip directions though, I mean I got used to it in the end, but at first for like a month I was hard to adjust.

In the end it didn't matter, because what actually mattered was the game itself. Controls are only 10% of the Gameplay Experience. The the rest spread out through Music/Lore/Visuals etc. In the end, those that hate it will adjust ( Most likely) and those that love it won't complain about it.
