Again a very likpatous story
I hate gyro aiming, it's never felt good in any game I've tried it in, but it should absolutely be an option in games for people who enjoy it.

when you were shooting paint with gyro, I studied the sticks. when you were having kids run you over with a big mop, I mastered the aim sensitivity option.

Okay, I'm going to ask the world's dumbest question. My Switch got lost, and I need to buy a replacement. Are there sites I should be watching (apart from Nintendo, Target, Best Buy, Gamestop, and Amazon) to find a Switch OLED at list price?

Dual Analogue controls are a lot like using the auto steering in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for your Nintendo Switch - it's a good choice if you're a small child with poor motor controls, but a real gamer will probably want to move on to controlling the game more directly.

For me aiming peaked at the Wii, even if it wasn't a 1:1 transfer pointing a stick at the TV felt natural.

Gyro is still good though, anything that frees you from using the right stick so you can stay on face buttons is good by default.

All the while your right thumb is occupied, leaving yourself open to attack. Meanwhile, my thumb is resting on the face buttons, alert and ready for any action that may need taken.

Shovel Knight is the better of the two, but it's a platformer. It's quality product.

Dead Cells is good, but it doesn't have as much lasting power in my opinion since the difficulty gets to be too much.

Harriet Carker posted:

I'm a big fan of Shovel Knight. They are very different games though. Dead Cells is a roguelight focused on combat whereas Shovel Knight is a linear oldschool platformer. Both have dozens of hours of content though!

Notably broken release Battlefield 2042 just came out without working Auto-Aim for console players but with working crossplay, so you could just farm the hell out of a thousand people who have assumed for years that they're good at shooters when you're playing on PC with a mouse.

Anyhow, gyro controls are actually great.

Gyro feels very fun and I've always enjoyed it whether on vita, switch, or android mobile devices where I used to play some call of duty rip off

Just feels different/more involved! 90% of aiming is done with the sticks and then you fine-tune with gyro really quickly

Still hard to believe that they haven't fixed gyro aiming in monster Hunter rise, tried it recently and it was still completely hosed. Is Capcom even aware of the problem? lmao

You might need to adjust the settings. It's been fine for me since launch but I know it's possible to turn weird stuff on like having the gyro control the camera 100% of the time.

I poked with it for a bit so maybe I just missed the setting. But yeah I can't get it to not work like WarioWare twisted. Instead of just aiming, the gyro seems to be stuck on some sort of 2D plane and I have to tilt the console left or right..it's weird stuff. Worth noting that this is in handheld specifically

I'll try playing with it some more
