Nope, I'm not exaggerating, I'm just saying that my skills improved a lot with motion controls and that I feel really comfortable with them. That's a fact. I know myself and I have been playing videogames for around 18 years! :P. Are you talking about physical effort? I agree with you that some movements, like swinging a sword or a tennis racquet are more "physically" demanding and need more effort. I know some people who get too excited with them and don't even last one hour playing. Though, tbh, you don't need to exaggerate movements for them to work, they're smooth. Anyway, motion controls in games like SS added combat depth. They added immersion in games like Wii Sports. They're best for aiming. But this is all how I feel with them, that doesn't apply to the rest of the gamers, and I don't intend to force anyone to use them. I just feel that some people haven't even tried. And it's weird to me because after playing standard controllers for about 15 years, the Wiimote appeared and with a little effort, I didn't want to ditch motion controls anymore. |
"motion controls, if well done, are way superior. I can't really think about any way to play some particular genres (FPS, TPS, shoot'em ups mainly) without motion controls which don't feel clumsy and awkward"
This is what you said. They are not "way superior" at all as already explained even if we're only talking about aiming, and I'm sure you've played all those genres with stick aiming just fine if you've really been playing as long as you say. Yes physical effort, which can get tedious n tiring after a while and are an inconvenience when you want to kick back. Combined with how it's slower and less reliable, there's no real reason to use motion over buttons in traditional games besides novelty which has worn off already. Imo they should only be used as an optional aiming method and in the few games that couldn't exist without motion controls, nothing moar, but I digress. The main point I'm trying to get across here is that the reason people don't like motion controls is not because they're different and haven't tried them but because they're inferior.
