They’ve tried, and failed, to push motion controls since the Genesis. Give it a drat rest guys.

i like it for occasional minigame stuff, but it's loathsome to play a whole game with it

The only good use of motion control was in the Red Steel trailer where the guy tilted the wiimote to hold his gun sideways

I like motion for shooting

I don't want to hold my weak little arm up and wave it around for 2 hours while I play a game. I get tired

imo analog with fine adjustments using motion controls (like breath of the wild, splatoon is good too but goes a little more all-in on motion) is superior and more accurate than pure analog sticks in every situation and i have no idea why every console shooter doesn't do it. DS4 and xbox one controller all have the same gyro stuff built in afaik

Gyro aiming is strictly a wrist motion. If you're holding your arm up you're doing it wrong.

I think a xbox pad + motion control thing for a flight sim could be incredible. Like control pitch and roll with tilting and right stick for looking around and left stick for yaw or something. It still wouldn't be as good as a stick but probably better than a mouse even

Flower uses this control scheme and it really only works because there is no need for precision in that game

What’s even the point if you’re not acting out holding a gun and you’re just sitting there wiggling your hand around in your lap. It’s fuckin stupid American McGay. Never liked that stuff

It's not that complex as far as war games go. There's three unit types (foot soldiers, archers, fliers) each with its separate upgrades (which is mostly "numbers go up", but also some unique traits to make the factions sufficiently different), two resources (wood and gold, obviously) you farm from the map with a chance of exhausting them. There's a bit of "base building", too, but I can't remember whether it influences recruitment or upgrades or both.

A new piece of poo poo about an old piece of poo poo; it turns out that the Aliens Colonial Marines AI is terrible because of a single typo in an .ini file.

Didn't this happen with Civ VI as well where someone spelled Yield as Yeild and that made the ai not mine resources or something
