Brian Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 For a company that focuses on ease of use for its players, it picked a convoluted controller scheme. A normal developer, I would hold out hope for more button options being patched in, but we all know that ain’t happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive honestly considered that I think so could tape down the lb button and just use sword when locked on that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to give you a headache. You don't have to read my posts etc. It's more you didn't know about a basic feature that's been around for over a decade. Lordy.

If you can deal with the garbage PSN, you can *EASILY* "deal" with Nintendo Switch Online. Meh I don’t wanna be the guy to sit and defend PSN but it’s certainly better than Nintendo’s offering. When Nintendo has a basic party feature that allows you to chat with friends / form parties on their online service we can have a discussion about which is better. That is a bare minimum feature and it is embarrassing it doesn’t exist. Also you created a guy who as far as I know doesn’t really exist to argue against. Nobody likes the PSN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're speaking about Nintendo online then yea, I completely ignored that trash for years. I didn't know if they let you dl digitally etc. I'm a noob to the switch even though I owned it since launch. I barely touched it so I know nothing about it.

Ok, I played 2 hours with motion controls and gave up on them. I did like you could control the camera with the right analog stick but overall motion control is a headache. The last straw was trying to balance on a rope and I just couldn't do it. Combat with motion control is no better than with the buttons. So the last hour I played with the controller and I'm going to suck it up about the camera. I'm used to it now so whatever. The game is fun enough cause I did put in 3 hours this evening. So overall, @ManUtdRedDevils if you want to keep playing the game do it in handeld. Hold dat LB button down baby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The lb button thing isn’t like a huge deal breaker or anything it’s just that it’s just such a terrible decision with such an easy fix that it’s amazing that nobody thought this through during qa.

I reread it and I dunno if everyone is on the same page with that precise context; but regardless the PS5 store interface is total dog shit, but the PS4’s is fine. The Switch’s is also fine.

best3444 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 As fucked up the controls are the game is classic Zelda fun. I'm in my first temple with no issues thus far. Puzzles so far have been easy. The most difficult part of the game is it's damn controls. I played 2.5 more hours this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard the dungeons are just flat out some of the best Zelda dungeons, so I’m looking forward to them. Just…kinda hope they patch this by the time I finish Cyberpunk and Ys!

Captain Pickle Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I just finished the forth maybe fifth dungeon and so far easy but fun enough. Kinda wish they were bigger. Hoping the next one is by the sounds of these posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Nintendo will probably do some shit like patch it so you don’t have to hold down lb to change the camera but to use the sword now you have to use an app on your phone though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 finally fired this one up the other day just to test it out...wasn't a huge fan of the motion controls when it originally came out and that hasn't changed. The button controls aren't horrible, but they aren't great either. Wish they'd spent more time on it and overhauled the control scheme to be more like other games, but it is what it is I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm constantly swinging my sword because I want to adjust the camera with the right analog stick. It's pretty terrible and the reviews for this game should be much lower than an 82 average at meta critic. This is inexcusable and Nintendo doesn't give a shit.

best3444 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Played 3 more hours of this today. I'm really enjoying the pace in this game. Things move along smoothly without too many headaches. The controls are god awful and it takes away a lot from this game. Because this is classic Zelda at it's best in every other way and I can't get enough.
