ImpAtom posted:Pokemon Snap is pretty much entirely about finding the right moment to capture a shot. You can do this with free roaming but it's a fundamentally different game. It may not be a worse game but it's a different one since it takes away the need for precise timing and positioning. Dead Rising was open world and required precise position and timing of you wanted the highest PP for your shots. It had both scripted and dynamic/random event photo opportunities. Not making it a botw style experience feels like a missed opportunity

In Pokemon Snap you are not a trainer and should not leave your bubble car because you might get eaten by a bulbasaur so being on rails fits with the story it's pretty perfect really.

I also just remembered that adorable yet forgotten photography game for PS3: Afrika, which also had open world stuff going for it.

I feel like the people who want free movement in pokemon snap haven't thought about the design implications very much. If a pokemon you're supposed to snap hides behind a rock after a short time, where the hell is the challenge if you can also just go behind the rock? And then what? They have to program a whole second rock for the pokemon to go hide behind afterwards? What the hell are you thinking.

SeANMcBAY posted:That’s not the official pro controller. The official one is wireless and very good. Like, aside from maybe a slightly wonky D-Pad (I've only extensively played Bloodstained using the D-Pad and it was pre-patch Switch Bloodstained so... ) the controller seems mechanically fine, I just didn't like the design much.

So, I was playing RE4, because of course I was... My wife: "You know, I haven't paid much attention to it, but Resident Evil 4 doesn't seem that scary." Me: "Really? I've beaten probably 15 times, and I still get freaked out at parts." Her: "What's so scary about this, though?" Me: *shows her the part in 5-1 when the regenerators show up* Her: Me: "And, see, unless you attack them the right way, they just don't die." Her: "No thanks!"

I think they're longing for a kind of open exploration 3D pokemon game that hasn't yet existed. There might be a way to make a cool game like that, but whatever it would be it wouldn't be Pokemon Snap. That's not the right fit for the type of game it is at all

That Afrika game sounds interesting but yeah a game where you wander a generally empty wilderness looking for animals to take photos of. Like Critterwatch, the game, or a birder game. I'm thinking a map like in Firewatch with a sped up clock, or way to speed up time, but not even, so that you have to hide out in the woods for something to appear. its' not for everyone but I would enjoy the calm of that.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Doesn't mean the gameplay is good. I'm exaggerating, it's fine, but the game is too long and the combat sequences not interesting enough to hold up for as long as it did. It is a very pretty game, but I'm not sure if it's an experience I would recommend to people. I adored the game when it came out but went back to play it when it was rereleased on Steam and....yeah. It's like PS1 JRPGs like Legend of Dragoon where you realize how loving long a single fight takes and just how many hours you're going to spend on it during one playthrough. It's not that the combat is bad, but going in and out of an encounter definitely could have been sped up to make a smoother transition.

American McGay posted:Having a fixed camera means you can always control the scene and exactly what the player is able to see. You can use this to improve development time and increase performance by making scenes likes dioramas with incomplete or missing items where the player would never be able to see. By opening it up to full character/camera movement you're essentially creating an entirely different style of game and have to develop your scenes to be viewed from any angle which makes things much more complex. Yeah for the n64. We're in the era of a photo mode being in the last 3d Mario game. Look at the trailer, you really think it's gonna be more taxing to going one way over the other? The world is built, it's not a corridor any more.

It is, still, a corridor. This goes for every single video game ever created. You create the parts the player are meant to interact with, and by fixing the camera angle you drastically reduce the amount of stuff the player can look at and interact with which means drastically reducing the amount of stuff you need to create. The world is not built. Your Computer fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jun 18, 2020 |

Free movement would completely change the scope of this game's workload.

Soooo all the reviews I've read say Summer in Mara is a very mechanically shallow game with some real bad quest design but its also a really chill stress-free time in beautiful tropical environs. Some super loving hated it and others gave it positive scores. I have no idea of the quality of this videogame. But its relatively cheap and it looks cute so I guess I'll find out myself.

Is there any fix for the unresponsive dpad on the pro controller? Other than that it's just about the perfect controller for my hands. The dumb thing just doesn't recognize a press about 1/10 times. I've been obsessed with controllers the past month and I'm not sure why.

I backed it but I'm finishing Xenoblade before I really dig into it I think people are judging it against something like a $60 AAA Nintendo game when it was developed on the cheap by a team of 2 people. I mean good is still good and bad is still bad, but I'm not sure what people are expecting.

There's this new game on the eshop called "I dream of you and ice cream." It sounds like it could be really interesting or really boring. Has anyone played it yet? There are no reviews of it anywhere.

I recently dug it out and played through it after getting inspired by W101 and I didn't like it much. It's all about doing the zoom-in/slow-mo combo over and over again. The style and characters are still great though. Let me know how Okami goes I heard poo poo gets tedious. No weird framerate hiccups or anything with Dead Cells? I wonder if I'd play it more if it was mobile.

ExcessBLarg! posted:That's odd. The usual complaint with the pro controller d-pad is that it registers unintended inputs, not that it fails to register intended ones. Did you purchase used or new? If used, open it and check for tape and remove. Well drat. It's new, I think I bought it in January? I'll take it apart and clean it up and see what happens.
