| stof said: This thread is funny. Anyways, am I the only one that think that video demonstrates how poor the controls are? it looks unresponsive and finicky. "another thing people have to remember is that its a dragon.. i read on a couple of reviews that they were mad that it wouldnt turn on a dime.. ITS a freakin dragon" Except the videos show it having the turning radius of a jumbo jet. And, like you said, It's a dragon. Winged creaturs can turn on a dime, they have the ability to flap their wings! If the Dragons in Lair can do 180's, why must they turn so slowly? |
QFT, Honestly the video reaffirms what the reviewers said. The dragon doesn't respond to your commands. I think it would have been easy for them to allow the dragon to be a lot more responsive and make it feel a lot smoother. I don't want to pay $60 to fly a dragon with a turning radius 4 times the size of a semi truck's. It should be a quick agile, firebreathing, killing machine.
Honestly, I have to take issue with everyone trying to defend the game. It was shown to gaming sites a while back and pretty much all of them expressed concern for the controls at the time and said they were hoping for them to be fixed. The fact that they didn't take the reviewers seriously and make the controls enjoyable or at least add options to do so is there own fault and the reviews don't pull any punches on the subject because they know they had plenty of time to make the fixes.
If you enjoy the game and the controls are great for you, then truly I am happy its looks like a fun game if the controls don't bother you. But the rest of us do have a problem and its really a show stopper.
