Returnal on ps5 is a fast paced 3rd person shooter where you are constantly moving the camera around with the right stick. Moving the camera allows you to see wth is going on but of course it also influences your movement, if you're pressing forward and swing the camera around the main character changes her direction. Like every other game with the camera on right stick.

Default jump is X (so the B position on a snes controller), so to jump means to take you thumb off the stick. There is way too much going on in the game for that to be viable, especially if you want to use the dash move (which is in the A position on a snes controller, so you again must take your thumb off the stick). I changed jump to the right bumper (and dash to left bumper) and god drat it took a long time to adjust (really hard to overcome decades of muscle memory) but once it finally clicked, it made a huge, huge difference for that game.

Then I played some elden ring and constantly attacked when I meant to jump. Then I went back to returnal and used consumables by accident instead of jumping. Turns out my brain has a hard limit for how many control schemes it can handle (one).

Ok, finished with Kirby. Could not beat the final final last final the actual final phase boss lol. I probably could with another try now that I know the gimmick, but I blew all my coins already with teh buffs i needed last try and it'd be like at least half an hour to get there again. What a loving great game.

I'm like 5 hours in and so far I've just been bouncing around solving simple puzzles as stairs and getting 5/6 on level objectives the first time through and ... this post is kind of blowing my mind with where this thing is headed.

B was always jump on SNES controllers other than weird cases like Super Metroid and you could still change it.

That's why I have to use B for jump

Yeah, I just remembered a bit too late to change my post. Problem was, I've played even more Game Boy then SNES, so A=Jump is even more hard-coded into my brain then B=Jump. :v:

Sam Faust posted:

NES is different. There are only two face buttons. Mario set the benchmark control layout here. Hold the tip of your thumb on the run button and use the base of your thumb to hit the jump button. That was the most comfortable way to play that game and allowed you to move your hand less to operate.

After that, consoles improved and gave you four face buttons in a diamond layout. The logical, more ergonomic move was to take the classic Mario control scheme and angle the jump button, previously to the direct right of the old action button, downwards by about 45 degrees to better accommodate human anatomy and how the thumb rests against the controller.

How this is not blindingly obvious to anyone who has ever picked up both controllers I'll never know.

I have this and only played it for like, 5 minutes once. I forgot all about it until recently, when I redownloaded it incase it becomes some kind of lost collector's thing when the shop closes.

Knowing some posters in this thread I would not be surprised if some people held their thumb straight up at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to the face of the controller until the moment they need to press a button, at which point they hammer directly down onto that button. The previous several posts describing ways in which other players manage to push more than one button at once probably sound like some kind of treacherous sorcery.

dawg just on my xbox live profile alone i have over 200 games. sonic cd is one of them.

it sucks red raw anus. i'd rather play fuckin bubsy. or my copy of night trap for the goddamn 3do. or almost anything else.

the level design in sonic cd is the worst in any 16 bit platformer i've played, and given how many snes, genesis and tg16 games i have, that is a fuckin high bar of bullshit to clear, and sonic cd clears it with room to spare.

loving home alone 2 is a better 16 bit platformer than sonic cd.

i heard for some 15+ years that sonic cd was the best sonic game. i went in expecting that it would not be god's gift to platformers like some people insisted, but holy fuckin poo poo i was not expecting such bad, hateful level design. sonic cd made me think that those idiots insisting that sonic was never good must be right, 'cause gently caress, if that is the 'best' sonic game, the series must have really sucked a lot more poo poo than i thought.
