Agents are GO! posted:The PS3 and ps4 controllers can do it, they just don't. Yeah that's what I don't get. The new Ghost of Tsushima DLC uses it for one activity (playing a flute for animals) which was the weirdest reminder that they could've been doing it all along but weren't.

The last Infamous game had a pretty good way of using it. One of the mechanics was spray painting graffiti and you would turn the controller sideways, shake it like a paint can and it would make the noise, then use to trigger to spray.

My Lovely Horse posted:Finally got a Switch and I've been making my way through Super Mario Odyssey, I vaguely remembered reading about how it would just keep throwing moons at you and was like "heh yeah it sure does I guess" I watched an all-moons speedrun a few months back, and to this day the moon-get jingle plays in my head intrusively at the most random times. Astounding how much they packed into that game, and how dense every level is.

John Murdoch posted:MP3 is what convinced me that yeah, FPSes on the Wii was totally going to be the way to go. And then IIRC every other FPS controlled noticeably worse or otherwise sucked poo poo. Oops. In general I feel like third party developers struggled the most with understanding what the Wiimote + nunchuk could do reliably. Like a lot of games would rely a lot on the nunchuk's internal movement sensor which was way weaker than the Wiimote, or you'd have something like Sonic and the Secret Rings which relies a lot on tilting the Wiimote in ways that are both awkward to do and rely on shaky inputs. I feel like maybe Nintendo had some problems with dev documentation, or perhaps it was just a fact of it being new tech, they knew what it could do but a lot of devs making shovelware didn't (and hence relied on waggle as you say.) I'm generally more positive on motion controls than most (though I realize that requiring them is not great for accessibility reasons) and I kinda wish they'd been handled/understood better.

Fist of The North Star: Lost Paradise has a bartending mini game where you shake the controller to mimic a shaker. You use the power of Hokuto no Ken to make a good drink.

The Speed Racer game used the wiimote great, a and b were accelerate and break and you tilted it left and right to steer while your controller represented the car's orientation (since the cars in the movie have 360 degree wheel movement on all wheels). Then you would jerk the controller in a direction to bonk your car that way for the car-fu stuff.  I binged the poo poo out of it one summer, a little diamond in the rough for sure. Winning races and championships despite never once coming in first because I did so much murder that the points from that more than made up for never placing high up was the poo poo.

That minigame was so good, that it made me understand how stencils work when used for graffiti, and how to apply it to canvas and make my own art. I didnt realize how easy it was until I was literally going through the motions with a controller

Twilight Princess was the second Wii game I played after Wii Sports and I was still all in on any motion controls. I really loved using the waggle for when Link inevitably attacked a boss weak point by getting on top of it and having time to just slash wildly. Between the music kicking up and trying to swing as fast as I could, it felt like a big moment. I missed it on the WiiU version. Admittedly I never played it again on Wii and that was a lot of aimless swiping for the rest of the game. I feel like Skyward Sword probably had a lot fewer enemies to compensate for how involved every fight was? I haven't gotten to playing it on Switch yet.

Instead of climbing a tower to reveal icons on the map in No More Heroes 3, you unclog public toilets.

No More Heroes has every kind of toilet imaginable as save spots, from executive bathrooms to backwoods outhouses, with appropriate sound effects.

 The new Ratchet & Clank game has jump points that you grab onto and spin around to launch yourself forward, and I thought it was a really cute touch when I realized they massively distort the character model while you're in motion

They're probably not going to hit PC Gamepass until they hit Xbox. It's hilarious that Microsoft is putting out more PS5 exclusives at this point than Xbox Series S/X exclusives.

Given the only thing they've talked much about with Deathloop is a Dark Souls-esque invasion mechanic, I'm not optimistic about it. Pinning such a huge part of the game's appeal on that kind of PvP sounds like a recipe for a hot mess. In a bad way.

The multiplayer is a part of it but basically entirely ignorable. You can play offline and they just replace Julianna with an AI version. I've finished the entire game and it's basically Arcade-Style Dishonored with an optional "Someone can come in and gently caress around" setting.

I'm not a fan of forced multiplayer but that sounds like a good mechanic for a game built around a time loop. Good way to throw in some chaos and switch it up a bit

I'm extremely hyped for death loop, with dishonored the developer has developed the only stealth game I actually liked, so I'm sure it'll be great. Supposedly it's also built around all the cool dishonored abilities like short distance teleportation, linking people so one headshot kills multiple, being able to telekinetically tinder swipe people off of ledges, and so on. I always played stealthy peaceful characters so being able to finally go hog wild sounds great.

It's ironic then, because when I first stared playing Dishonored, I actually went in a killed all the soldiers I came across in the first level because the game promoted you as an assassin. But then after the first level or whatever, the game popped up a warning being like, "hey, killing too many people will affect the ending." And in every stealth game where there are multiple endings, the "murder everyone" route is typically the bad end. So because of that warning, I restarted the game and went through non-lethally taking out everyone, even the assassination targets, reloading any time I got spotted.

I can't help but think the Thief inspirations and chaos system hurt Dishonored 1 a tad, even if they leaned into it better in Dishonored 2. But yeah, embracing chaos and incentivizing players to go loud is the easiest and most fun way to design the game. Other games with a mix of stealth and loudness have embraced this, from the Ubisoftsss, Batmans, Mordors, and hell, even Sekiro.
