Sorry man, but you're being too hasty to say that, controller on this game is awesome so let's clarify some mishaps.
To address the first problem you just have to press the X button to open the menu with the move command. Do this with the box lined up.
The controler UI comes like a thought in a few hours, at first I thought it strange as well, but now it's like a no brainer.
You can toggle movement by pressing the left analog stick, you can make to appear the name and position of all items by pressing the right analog stick.
On this game it only takes a little practice, I have to say that I'm charmed by how they implemented the controller on this game. It works really nice.
And about the UI, I don't know how to fix it, but it became hard for me to read the text as well when I installed my pc on my TV. I guess there must be some config we mis-look.
