Daily reminder
Seriously they are fucking shit. I'm not just talking about SF0 only. Stuff like god hand are severely degraded because 'it's hard'. Bayonetta is degraded because of 'extreme sexuality'. Why are we listening to them again?
And also games like smash 4 do not deserve the score they get. I think sm4sh is at most an 85

Individual reviewers are useless, unless you have a clear idea on what their hangups and boners are.
If not, you're better off checking up metacritic score and working from there.

>godhand got a 3/10

they've always been shit and I've never understood why anyone listened to any of them for anything

>modern FPS controls on PS1
I always wondered why it took till PS2 to implement this, and even then in the first few years you had classic control schemes as an option in lots of games. Going back so that you strafe with right stick, and pressing left/right on left stick just swivels you is so weird,
Was there any technical limitation that caused this to be a thing on PS1?
>>335023995
The whole reason they've rose in necessity is because of developers/publishers refusing to release demos. Instead they favor "Betas", usually locked behind a pay wall to boost profits, and if they need to they'll just butter up popular reviewers for good scores.
>>335023538
They were right
Shooters on console was a mistake
>>335023538
I don't know, I have never read online reviews and video game mags were only good for the interviews and info on unreleased games.
That being said, as someone who has been into vidya since the early 90s, vidya has been going to shit. 90% of it is corporatism, ie production cost bloat and refusing to do anything that isn't safe, but a smaller problem is a dirth of new ideas.
>>335024242
No. The entire reason control schemes were the way they were is because no one (until Halo, more or less) had figured out a good way for FPS games to control on a console. Its why you had games like Timesplitters basically copying Goldeneye and shit like that; there was no real standard and no one had figured it out. Halo more or less set the standard and then Call of Duty 4 set it in stone.

speak for yourself
though before few years ago everyone on /v/ only posted the reviews just to laugh at them, but now there are so much normalfag redditors that some people actually take them seriously and care about metacritic
>>335027059
You know why the English ABC keyboard letters are arranged on a keyboard the way they are, don't ya?it was to encourage hunt and peck because early typewriters would break down if anyone got going on them with any degree of speed.

Just play indie games
>>335027306
I found that out back in high school and it's pissed me off since that QWERTY shit hasn't been universally replaced yet.
>>335027337
Believe me I've given Indie a chance, the problem is that so many are in it for a quick buck, so the genres and flavors are extremely limited as the devs are technically limited or are intending to cater to specific preexisting audiences.
That mixed with the social engineering and PC social statements that seems to pervade so much of the writing makes most Indie just as unpalatable as AAA. There are always exceptions of course, but they're rare.
>>335027306
>>335027478
Have any companies begun work on a more efficient system? That would be amazing. Condensed vowels that can all be selected wit one finger and organic consonant placement would blow my mind.
>>335027478
Changing it would be more effort than it's worth since everyone is used to it.
>>335027337
Indie went to shit when they started to get called indie.
>>335028000
its called dvorak and nobody uses it because it honestly doesn't make that much of a difference
the thing about qwerty and typewriters is a myth anyway
>>335028000
>trips checked for good ideas
I hope someone figures out some better shit man. Typing faster would be cool. Maybe we wouldn't become collectively dumber as a species as everyone reverts to text speak for speed.
>>335023538
I haven't read a video game review in 10 years or more.
>>335028342
Yeah this
When people got used to qwerty they'd still type fast enough to lock up typewriters
>>335027306

It's a lie, so don't worry about it.

>>335027059
Goldeneye had a control scheme that was basically twin stick it's just that one of the sticks was the d or c pad.
>>335024242
>Was there any technical limitation that caused this to be a thing on PS1?
The analog sticks on the PS1 controller were fucking awful, primarily.
>>335023538
Was Resurrection the first game with the two-stick control scheme?
>>335027306
>the more you know
or perhaps less, since that isn't true
I don't follow reviewers and I don't watch """""gameplay"""" trailers.
>>335023538
That's not completely wrong.
Controllers are still shit for FPS.

It is more likely because dual analog was not a standard. PS1 launched without analog at all, dual analog was released later so games were developed with that in mind. Analog had to essentially be an option and games had to function without. The N64 also only had 1 analog stick so the modern control scheme simply wasn't possible there.

Nothing changes except you're permanently on level die

>>335028929
Actually it was where you plugged in two controllers and used both joysticks like a ghetto double-wiimote
Shit was a blast, too bad it didn't work multiplayer.
>>335036237
You can do that too, but there were two control schemes using the D pad or C pad for movement with the stick for aiming.
>>335027478
QWERTY hasn't undergone any changes because computers came its keyboard doesn't jam. Around that time typewriters began to decline in popularity for obvious reasons. The typewriter has undergone a lot of changes in its lifetime, though.
Can't say the same for the clusterfuck that is Chinese keyboards.
what I don't get is "free pass", like a game being too hard is bad, but another being too hard is good. Often the difference being some sort of meta "expectation" based on graphics or title or company.
>>335037375
I think it's fair to say that a game that is hard due to its controls being bad is a bad game, whereas a game with good controls that is hard to provide challenge is good if that's what it's trying to achieve.
The problem is when you get people who have trouble with the controls, which might not actually be that bad, like W101 which I found fairly easy to control after a couple of missions. Starfox Zero, from the demo I've played, was a little hard to control, but give it a couple of levels and I'm sure it'll be fine.
>>335029118
One of the first on consoles at least,you should give a try sometime,if you do use retroarch with a ps3 controller,great looking game game given the hardware.
>>335029302
Either this or the FPS is shit anyway for accommodating the controller as a viable input.
