still on the zelda kick we only ever actually got two (and a half) genuine 3D zelda games that controlled normally: ocarina of time, majora's mask, and wind waker. the other two 3D zelda games: twilight princess and skyward sword were plagued by horrible controller wagging controls which, for me, made them basically dead on arrival. i wanted to like twilight princess but absolutely abhorred waving the wiimote to swing my sword. i didn't even bother with skyward sword. so after two failed attempts at making motion controls a thing, nintendo never wound up delivering on what they teased at e3 2001. we got wind waker (which i really liked) and two bullshit gimmick games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIa79bTDuV4 then, apparently the formula "got stale"(??) but again, the formula was never fully leaned into before they said "gently caress it: open world tech physics engine. lose the storyline!"

I got Twilight Princess on Gamecube so it was actually playable, unlike Skyward Sword

twilight princess came out on gamecube + the wii waggle on that one is okay because its just a little shake now and then and you get the benefit of, the massively more comfortable split control scheme. skyward sword is the annoying one

The Zelda design in Skyward Sword is a top 5 Zelda design. That's about it.

Wii twilight princess' lame waggle sword controls were offset by its good bow aim controls. I don't think wii motion controls added anything to most games but it was legitimately really good for aiming.

i think computer mice should have wiimote sensors built in because I agree, great way to aim

stev posted:The statement says they stopped because they want to carry on making single player games and not become a full time GaaS studio. I guess we're mostly past the point where a AAA studio like that can make a game that "just" has a competitive MP gamemode and not have to turn it into a GaaS pitch.

Aced the Majora's Mask 3D bow minigame thing first try, probably would have taken me a million attempts on N64

Sony really needs to rethink their live service attempts. It’s not going to work for them.

ToTK has four dots where you go and do all the stuff you expect from a Zelda game. It's just there's a bunch of fun stuff to do on your way there so each dot takes 15-20 hours to complete...

Spring Break My Heart posted:What are these Sony service games even going to be? Do people expect Twisted Metal reboot from the Destruction All-Stars team to really do numbers? Fairgame$ is gonna be the breakthrough hit? Only one of them has to be a hit. That's why Sony made the "10 live service games by 2026" plan - they were going to throw as many as possible at the wall to see what sticks. If only one game makes it through such a gauntlet to become the next top 5 GaaS game while the rest of them all end up losing money, that's still a win and worth the gamble in their eyes because the potential profits are off the charts. This is a more high-stakes version of the numbers game that making traditional AAA single player games tends to be.

Capcom just because you made the water room easier didn't mean you needed to make up for it with an annoying boss that throws rocks through walls and a garden maze filled with annoying dogs that can walk through walls.

Me and some friends just got into Darktide, are there any good videos out there that explain the stats, mechanics, tips and tricks etc? I'm wading through a sea of search results from ages ago whining about the game that are all irrelevant now that it's effectively fully released.
