Apparently I was wrong and my less than stellar reaction to the gyro controls was in fact wrong and I'm dumb and don't know how to play video games. Thanks for setting me straight guys. You are so much more skilled and amazing at Splatoon 2 than me.

Lemming posted:This is why nobody likes playing FPS's on PC, you constantly have to lift your hand to recalibrate the mouse position. It's a huge problem. You can get a really huge mouse pad and drag your arm across it so you don't have to lift your hand too much during the actual action.

Is the Neo Golf game a cool chillout game? Othello is fun but it frustrates me because the computer is so much better and traps me. Would be nice to have something that lets me take a break from Zelda that's more slow paced.

Yeah, it's a really mitigatable thing that's overall a non-issue, I was just trying to refute the idea that a control scheme is necessarily bad if it requires frequent recalibration (not that Splatoon does; I usually do it only once or twice at the start because I fidget a lot between rounds)

Louisgod posted:Sure all I'm saying is that it Zelda's frame dips are insanely noticeable after playing Splatoon. Normalizing a bit now but it was jarring at first. Man, Zelda on docked mode stutters like crazy in some areas. I swear I'm only getting 10 frames in Korok Forest. It makes me wish I had an option to force portable resolution just to get a couple more frames.

I'm playing botw the way god intended. It's like week 3, i have put 40 or so hours in. I've made... 'progression' and it's fun as heck. im already looking forward to a replay where i actually do some sidequests. they're all piled up. I'm mainly doing shrine to shrine exploration. My path has been ridiculously random. just so many good things in this game, discovering them is the best part. Ignoring the development of the game was the best decision ever ethanol fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Mar 25, 2017 |

Ursine Catastrophe posted:get you a mouse that can do both i meant the sensitivity is low enough that you have better accuracy/hit scan, not that it takes a whole arm length to just look right lol. turning it up is good for times when you're playing genji in OW or something. i'd only really ever drag my hand across if i get flanked, which solves the problem of never needing to pick up the mouse and still having the sensitivity low enough for accuracy

I think having the Splatoon 2 test fire being at certain times made the Switch really click for me. I missed a couple test fires when the Splatoon 1 test fire cause of the large TV game systems are hooked up to being already in use. The second testfire I simply put it down on a small end table with its kick stand out and play normally. I like this little system

Lemming posted:I read this before and specifically tried it out, pressing y in handheld mode definitely changed the y axis for me. Maybe there was something else up but I imagine it should still work hmm, weird. Hopefully I can catch another session this weekend and try it out again, but I tried multiple times and couldn't get the y-axis to recenter in handheld mode when leaning back in a chair, it would only center the x-axis so i had to sit up and look down a bit. however, if I took the joycons off and put them in my grip, the y-axis reentered no problem.

Empress Brosephine posted:Hey perhaps if a game requires you to constantly recalibrate it then maybe it should t use that as a control option. Every time you push ZR to aim your bow in Zelda it recalibrates in the same way. Also I wish the aiming in Splatoon worked more like Zelda's. Not being able to use the stick to look up and down while gyro aiming is active was frustrating, as was not being able to tweak the x and y sensitivity of the gyro aiming.

Real hurthling! posted:Test fires should be all weekend. They have a better way of making them more convenient to take part in than making the console more portable I think I know why they're not; besides focusing the population so their stress testing is more effective, I'm guessing that only allowing people to play for a small amount of time is better for sales. The general wisdom is demos usually decease your sales, either from people realizing they don't like the game, or people who only sort of like it end up getting their fill. I know I'd play the gently caress out of it all weekend if I could and I'd still buy it, but I bet a lot of people wouldn't really feel the need to play after if they binged it.

The effect of betas/demos on sales really depends on the game. For example, the open beta for Overwatch was massively successful and really sold the game to a lot of people.

FYI you stop having to recalibrate the gyro the more you get used to it. People didn't learn how to mouse aim in an instant either, or least I remember flailing around in Quake at first. Cause I'm old. Splatoon has been an excellent Zelda break sadly I can't get up at 4am

chaleski posted:Really? I'd figure it'd be the complete opposite, I thought a good demo builds all kinds of hype Good demos build hype, but the problem is it takes non-negligible development time to build the demo out of an existing build such as hacking out bigger known bugs, which adds a point of failure which wouldn't have existed if the demo wasn't made at all. And if the demo is good, you end up with the possibility of someone getting their fill of the gameplay on the demo itself who would otherwise have bought the game if they had no other choice. If the demo is bad, you've just hosed up your marketing. Basically building demos is risky which is why most companies don't do it.

anyone with any level of decent dual analog aim will probably do a lot better just turning the gyro off completely honestly, its really only there to give an option for people who have trouble using them. thats part of why it got appeal outside of the usual fps/shooter crowd.

It would be a bad idea to suggest a person who usually plays FPS on a console to use a controller on a PC FPS. The difference obviously isn't as big in this case but it is there. You will be a worse player without the gyro controls.

If i want to make smaller movements, I move my hand less. Splatoon is the first console shooter I've ever played where I can concentrate on the actual game instead of just thinking TURN FASTER TURN FASTER TURN FASTER.
