The controls are weird, but I was that weird kid who put a lot of time into Metroid Prime Hunters, so the controls made sense to me. I wouldn't be surprised if a port and/or sequel was made for the NX with regular controller or if they're still supported, Wiimote + Nunchuk. Sin and Punishment 2 controls would be perfect for Uprising

>virtually unplayable

The control scheme needed to be better but the game was FAR from "virtually unplayable". I never had a problem with the game controls being unresponsive or frustrating- in fact, I always felt very comfortably in control and had mastery over the situation. The problem is that holding the 3DS like that for extended periods hurts like a bitch. I desperately wish for a console version that uses Wiimote + Nunchuck, because that would probably be the perfect way to play this game.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is a fucking gem. A bit unpolished, sure, but a gem through and through.

Raise your knee and support the 3DS on it, played for over 6 hours straight and didn't feel nothing

I think the defenders here will hate me for agree with you, but I agree: the game is virtually unplayable.

Not because of bad controls. I think the controls are actually really good, and intelligently thought out. I think that the game just shouldn't have been on the 3DS.

Even with the stand that came with the game, I still could only play for about 10 minutes at most, and by then my hand started to hurt. I could play on 8+ and do well (Fuck me on 9, though), and it was legitimately fun to play, but the 3DS was so fucking small, and the shape of the unit was just not conducive to that claw hand grip you had to have for how often you were hitting the trigger and moving.

If it was on the Wii or the Wii U, and you were using the pointer, the game would have been much more comfortable to play, and also wouldn't have looked like a blurry mess, which is my only other complaint with the game.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is an incredible, amazing game that never came out on a system that would have made it as such.
>>
>>335037619
Nah, I think even the most avid fan of KIU can agree with this, it would be a much better game on a home console. But it's not unplayable at all, you really need to do something about that pain, man, because it's not normal.
>>
>>335037497
I don't think it's comparable to chapter 9, the only thing they have in common is the length
But eh, i won't try to defend 19 so much, i love it but i know it's a niche level, it all comes down to appreciating the different rooms, if someone didn't think too high of them then the chapter nas nothing left to offer
Aside from the boss, That dude is great
>>
>>335037805
>I think even the most avid fan of KIU can agree with this
As someone who doesn't feel said pain and would lose a lot of precision by playing with a pointer, i have to disagree
>>
>>335031702
I found the game playable, just really fucking repetitive, both in gameplay and dialogue. I was ready to strangle Pit by the time Hades is introduced. Hades is probably the only reason I kept going.
>>
>>335037972
To be fair, the Wii U would have been the perfect console for it as it has the resistive touch screen.
Unfortunately that's not going to happen now.
>>
>>335037805
>you really need to do something about that pain, man, because it's not normal
I think it was pretty normal for most people including reviewers, and it was also the reason Nintendo included that stand with the game in the first place.

Generally speaking I don't get pain like that playing other games on the 3DS. Keeping my hands in a controller motion, or doing some touch screen stuff never hurts my hands.

KI:U is a very hectic game and demands much more of you in a very uncomfortable position on a tiny little device. Or it did anyway, when I played it on my original 3DS.

I have a New 3DS XL now, so maybe it would be more comfortable.
>>
>>335038209
Yeah but also makes me wondeer if holding that heavy controller with one hand would be such a good idea
>>
>>335038209
Control Scheme would need to drastically change. You don't hold KIU like a traditional 3DS game and it can't be simply just ported over, even a stand would make it a burden with the same scheme.
>>
>>335038494
Are you dumb? Putting the controller on your lap is much easier than doing so with the 3DS which is much smaller and has the joystick a lot lower as well.

Fun fact: The guitar in Dark Pit's theme is a Mandolin, a Greek guitar. So his theme wasn't meant to sound Spanish/Mexican.

Funny how people used to shit on this game for the same reason that people are shitting on Star Fox Zero right now. I'm sensing a pattern of people who can't play a game that uses a control scheme that isn't twin-stick face buttons, or keyboard+mouse.

>>335035026
Any game with a nonstandard control scheme always gets fucked reviews because it's not bog standard dual stick shit. Any game that tries to take advantage of the system gimmick to try and give it legitimacy, no matter how well it's actually done in practice, will always get shit on for its controls.

Phantom Hourglass. Prime Hunters. Skyward Sword. Kid Icarus. Starfox Zero. Wonderful 101. All shit on for their control schemes rather than ever picking apart the game's actual flaws and judging it fairly. All good games with admittedly glaring flaws, but not enough to make them truly bad. The only one I'd really argue that the control scheme is a significant detriment to is Phantom Hourglass, but only in the case of movement, not attacking or tool usage.

Kid Icarus was my favorite series but I couldn't get through this one.

I had no trouble with the controls, and I love being entertained by gameplay and dialogue at the same time.

The OP deserves a prop for trying and appretiating everything else.

Although I'm still surprised that people cannot nail this game's controls.

Even more so if you are laying down and use your legs for support.

I blame that thing for a significant chunk of the criticism that the game got.

>>335039853
Nerds are retards and can't think for themselves, so I think it's a matter of the initial reaction.

It's likely the initial reaction to Kid Icarus getting low scores was "fuck it, I'm getting it anyway, fuck reviewers" and thus everyone rolled with that and now it's mostly liked on /v/

Meanwhile the initial reaction to Starfox Zero was to suck reviewer dick and no one wanted to disagree with the majority, ergo from now on saying Starfox Zero is a good game will make you part of a minority.

Prove me wrong if you wish but I can't help but see you guys in general as a bunch of puppets easily manipulatable by whatever the first few posts on a subject are.

Nailed it. It wasn't impossible but I'll be damned if it wasn't frustrating and extremely painful, at least for me when I was playing for about 1 hour a day, non-stop. Agreed that the console choice was wrong, always felt the game was sorely in need of the wiimote & nunchuck control scheme.

Ultimately I guess I'm in the same boat as OP. Tried but could never enjoy it properly.

Oh also to >>335033537 Fire Emblem changed the personality of a character radically from "shy girl" to "STRONG EMPOWERED WOMAN THAT DON'T NEED NO MAN" for obvious reasons along with other subjective personal morality-based changes

If this game did anything similar to that then I say fuck it.

That's a good point actually. I found the controls simple as fuck when the game released, but I played a shitload of Prime Hunters as a kid, and I remember having a pain with that when I started

Nah, they didn't change anything. They just changed a few jokes, that's mostly it.

After hearing so much about it I really wanted to like it you know? It never worked out. Made it to that poison guy in a cave trying to have fun but it never came. And I don't like crafting things which turns me off of stuff like rune factory 4 for example.

MH is one of these "love it or hate it" kinds of games. I can totally get why you didn't enjoy it.
>>
>>335044189
That's totally fine since some jokes are utterly untranslatable. Translation requires writing skill in order to flow well and creativity for the bits you have to redo to make sense in a different language, but the final purpose should still be to maintain the feeling of the original text.

I really feel that, even if in one case the translated version is "better" by my own standards, it STILL shouldn't be allowed because then it gives others the freedom to alter shit. It's a bit like the free speech argument of "you should defend it even if you hate what's being said".

It's sorta complicated. Translators admittedly often get zero credit for a hard job, so some of them get really uppity and try to take an unfair amount of credit to make up for it and come across as douches.

I played MH1 on the PS2 and thought the controls were unbearable, then I played the Wii MH Tri and enjoyed it even with the motion controls (I switched to the classic controller permanently once I could afford it though)

Maybe it's also a matter of control? I don't remember exactly what it was like but something about the PS2 controls made me think "nope, no way am I playing this".
>>
>>335044086
Hades and Thanatos were made a lot more flamboyant, and Pandora a bit more sassy, but that's mostly because they were so bland and straight forward before.

The issue here is that these characters barely had any character in the first place. The Western version is very much the best version of the game's script in a lot of ways.

Not really. Zero was a surprising announcement after everyone thought Command killed the series for good. After this, it's probably gonna be another 5-10 years of silence for Star Fox.
>>
>>335044950
I mean didn't they basically tell the Localization team to do whatever the fuck they wanted to get the west's attention?

Frankly I'm surprised that the script wasn't changed more.
>>
>>335044567
Find a friend to play with. Game will become a blast, I can guarantee it because I was like that too. After you git proficient you'll enjoy it even on solo.

RF4 is based on Harvest Moon gameplay which is based on NPC interaction, laid back gameplay and grinding without caring too much. If you don't care about NPC interaction and comfy gameplay you really shouldn't be playing this or HM series.

I'll give my respects for anyone who can even slightly take japanese Hades seriously with that voice
>>
>>335045374
I guess he knew how bland the script and its delivery was in the original version.

Did Sakurai say he liked the western version more, or am I thinking of Cowboy Bebop and some other director?
>>
>>335044567
Sounds like it's just not your type of game.

Today i will remind them
Reminder that Sakurai said there won't be anything like a sequel for at least 25 years

>>335045548
Hades did, as a joke.

it's lower then that by now, we're on 21 years

>>335045495
>I guess he knew how bland the script and its delivery was in the original version.
I'm pretty sure he wrote the japanese version himself, his justification was that, as said here a couple of times, a lot of the dialogue was meant for the japanese people and wouldn't translate well to the western audience
Not sure if he said what he thinks about the west localization, gotta look that up

>>335045616

Sakurai says a lot of things. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is if a higher up demands a sequel or not.

Even if their version was better I can't give my approval of it. On one hand you can end up with scripts better than the original, on the other I don't want to give some bearded Twitter hipster who ass-kissed his way into NoA to make a girl in the next Advance Wars tell a character player to stop mansplaining to her or whatever.

There's something really weird going on with that game. It's like we're on some paralel universe where analogs are the standard control mode for rail shooters.

>>335035916
I love levelups that only up my level count and nothing else
>>
>>335048660
Is that even possible? I thought at least the HP would always go up unless you had hit the cap.
>>
>>335048949
Even if that was the case, +1HP and no more from a levelup isn't fun at all.
>>
>>335048949
It is, but the likelihood is so rare that you might count yourself lucky to witness it, depending on the character. There's a webm of this happening with PoR Ike of all people which is an exceptionally rare thing to experience.

>>335049349
That one is different, since you only level up at specific points in the game and your party is made of summoned monsters from the previous games. In regular Wizardry it's awfully common to level up, gain 1 HP and lose 1 point in every other stat. And the game auto-saves.
>>
>>335049793
>In regular Wizardry it's awfully common to level up, gain 1 HP and lose 1 point in every other stat.
I never got why some games did this. Why should I lose stats for being more experienced?
>>
>>335049956
Because fuck you, that's why. If a stat goes down to zero and you get another -1 level up it becomes 34. The cap for every stat besides HP is 18.
