You turn around very slowly
You can't put space between you and an enemy and turn around at the same time
Everyone who ever played one of those games died because of a combination of those two things
They died very slowly as they rotated impotently on the spot, without enough time to prevent it, but with plenty of time to take in that it was going to happen
Most games from that era had very sparce save points and limited save items
This is the standard control method of 3rd person shooters for about 10 years - this doesn't just happen once
Like anything it becomes a meme - something fun to complain about - but that doesn't mean that many people didn't legitimately resent it
I admit tank controls without a quick turn are incredibly clunky and it took RE until the third game to figure that out
