Well we all have different tastes in games, sorry if i upset the guy, as for star fox zero i like the idea of the controls, and its the type of game you replay and try and get higher scores, not sure i will buy it straight away, if i have the money i will, one thing i dont like is how they have locked the retro arwing behind the amiibo, its just wrong.

Nah, I think that retro arwing isn't the worst offender. If that "hard mode" Arwing is indeed locked and only accesible without Amiibo, that would be just wrong (unless there's another type of "hard mode"),

The game is so short and still the controls needs time to "click". Lolworthy, Miyamoto.

Are you having withdraw symptoms from ignoring the NX threads ?

I must be the only one that spent like an hour or two to actually know how to play correctly Star Fox 64. So... this previews about Zero don't concearn me at all. In fact, I don't see why everyone is. It takes hours and dozens of deaths to learn how to play games like Dark Souls. And even by the end you still feel like you're not that good at it. Yet that's not seen as something bad by a lot of people.

About motion controls: I'm glad they made them mandatory. If the game creative has something in mind about the gameplay of its game, no one should be allowed to demand to change it. It's like if someone doesn't like how a book ends and ask the writter to change the ending or make an alternate one. That's just not right.

I can master any control scheme very quickly and I have no problems alternating between differnt systems and controllers. I had the controls nailed down for Wonderful 101 within the first mission, and I use gyro controls on Splatoon 100% of the time. Shouldnt be a problem to pick up the Star Fox controls in a jiffy.

He is not a wiiu hater, he is just constantly trying to justify the wiiu failure by pointing at the wrong direction, the quality of the games.

Have I questioned the quality or the lack of ambition? 2 different things.

Well yeah, the problem is that it looks like your definition of ambitious is extremely close to your definition of quality when it comes to games. Your tendency to shit about about games that are almost flawless just because they are not the most ambitious at the same time you praise to the high heavens games that are full of flaws just because they are ambitious only makes it more obvious.

Blame Miyamoto's ego if this game sucks as this game from the get go was very clearly a "I'm going to prove Wii U controller is great for gameplay!" vanity project rather than being something designed from the ground up to be the best pure Star Fox game possible. 

Wasn't Miyamoto tasked with coming up with games that utilize the gamepad by Iwata?, Hence project guard, robot and Star Fox. Miyamoto is simply doing his job rather than inflating is ego.

Which proves my point: I question the ambition, not the quality.

It's nice that different control schemes be experimented with. I love Splatoon's gyro-aiming for example but if this is the only option, I'll hold off on buying this game until an extra option is implemented.

Splatoon and KIU all over again? :p

IMO, this control scheme seems gear towards playing on a computer desk while sitting one foot (or 30 cm) or less away from the monitor.

Sitting on your living room and looking at the TV four feet away and then looking down/bringing the GamePad up every few minutes sounds like driving in your car's backseat with the front seats gone while trying to check the rear view mirrors before merging on to traffic. I'm sure it possible and you'll get good at it but only because of practice.

I'm sure the gyroscope aiming will be amazing though if its like Splatoon and modified for Star Fox accordingly.
