Gamepad was jsut a gimmick killing the immersion, when your eyes leave your screen, you remember you are in a video game.

When i played it, i thought many times that it would have been the same and even better with a real controller, you would have just look in the bag in real time, like in many other games
Any other thing using the gamepad in this game is a real gimmick unnecessary

I found it more immersive. Having to look down at the gamepad to manage inventory, while glancing back up at the TV to check that there were no zombies creeping up on my character was much more like looking down into a backpack and needing to shift focus back up to surroundings IRL. Same goes for using the scanner, looking down at the gamepad to scan, quickly looking back up at the TV to make sure nothing was near me. It makes fo a tense game.


That sounds annoying, not tense. It's the same problem with most gimmicks. Otherwise by that logic games that become harder to control due to stuff like touch or motion controls are fine..because there's an artificial obstacle introduced. In this case and genre the game should be tense for other reasons, not that.
