I look forward to a bunch of old people refuse to try anything new, turn off the gyro controls so they can aim with just the analog stick, then get mercilessly eviscerated over and over because there's no auto aim and other people are using the superior controls.

No, that's the whole loving point. The console inherently uses multiple types of controllers. All its games support multiple controllers (that support multiplayer) in asymmetric ways because that is the fundamental design of the console.

So its not so loving outrageous to think that maybe people would want to use the other controller instead! FFS.

Auto aim? The gently caress?
I'm just fine with twin-stick with no auto-aim. Did way better K/D in the demo with sticks than gyro.

Its okay that some people like different things than you, goons. If you like motion controls, use motion controls. If you like sticks, use sticks.

Enough with the loving :smuggo: "my control scheme is superior" bullshit.

I wonder if they'll expand the single-player in the future either through small free updates or a full-on expansion you'll pay for. Thinking about it now almost every EAD game for the Wii U has had some form of expanded single player bar Nintendoland if you count New Super Luigi and maybe Captain Toad as the expansion to 3D World. Even Pikmin 3 had some extra stuff you could buy later on.

The gyro is superior, though. It uses position control rather than velocity control, like a mouse. I brought up auto aim because twin stick FPS or TPS all have varying levels of auto aim because otherwise it's too difficult to hit anything. Splatoon doesn't need it because the gyro aiming is sufficiently precise and responsive.

It's fine for people to do what they like, but gyro controls are objectively more accurate. Everybody has a higher personal skill ceiling with gyro, barring some sort of disability. If you're fine doing worse or don't want to learn anything new you can turn gyro off.

Well yeah but I'm specifically talking single-player stuff. Like would they bother with it or would they just keep enlarging the multi-player side more since that's what most people are likely going to be playing?

Yeah, but its also more complicated, so its not strictly superior. You have to mentally decode movements into either motion or a combination of motion and stick. The intuitive direct stick just works better for me.

Like if I had to paint a careful picture, maybe I'd use gyroscope controls... but that's not how I'm playing splatoon at all. I'm racing around trying to shoot dudes in the head before they run me over with a roller. Split second reaction times are everything.

Eh you're making a bunch of assumptions that really aren't the case. Motion isn't nearly as different or accurate as mouse control.

Ugh this is such a lovely post.

First of all its a Third Person Shooter. And its not just any TPS, Splatoon is very much its own animal. Its about painting and turning into squids, not getting the top K/D ratio.

Second of all yeah yeah we loving get it, this same "lmao stick control casuals :smuggo:" attitude keeps getting posted. loving ENOUGH.

jivjov posted:

You know (or should realize if you have half a brain) that isn't very good. 1-v-1 local mode is barely going to get any play. Its a consolation prize since the game doesn't work splitscreen normally. Everybodys going to be playing turf war or single player 95% of the time, except when demoing the game to a friend. And that means no pro controller.

Its pretty obvious people want pro controller. I wasn't even the one who asked for it! I'm fine with the gamepad, its just dumb you can't use the pro controller as well, and this "playing dumb" attitude of yours is getting super old.

Not really local multiplayer, just 1v1.

Why would they allow a player to willfully gimp themselves in competitive multiplayer? The tablet has the map and enables superjumping to allies. I'm sure Nintendo would LOVE to read all the hate mail about"what the gently caress why can't I jump to my teammates like everyone else can?"
