Judging from some of these replies, it seems GAF learnt absolutely nothing from Uncharted3-8.0gate.

Why though???
Because she wasn't skilled enough to use them or she just disliked them as a mechanic or both???
Or because of technical issues???

Well, I'm going to play the game now. And then I'll post my impressions later.
If anyone uses the controls the wrong way during a 35 hours long game, I don't think the user is to blame, the game should teach very clear the correct way to use them.
When someone doesn't understand you when you speak, maybe you are the one that doesn't explain himself well.

Not sure if Adam's even played the game...he's been all Skyrim all the time, I think.AniHawk said:
I don't, like, *work* there, I just go in from time to time to pick up fun things and bring them back home.
Not sure why she didn't like the motion controls...she just said she didn't think they added anything.

If Wii U Zelda has sword swipes on the touch screen, I'm not buying it

i don't think there are alot of tutorials in this game. i played the demo without any kind of help and could beat the mid-boss perfectly. You can even beat Ghirahim in the demo without any motion-based problems. It is really not that hard to understand. It is emulating a sword, ffs.
some people just don't get motion controls. It s like the same guys who think the wiimote swinging for a spin attack in Mario Galaxy should be button-based.

There must be a point when they're coming close to putting a review like that out, notice all the 10s, and start going 'shitshitshitshitshit' just because of how much flak they're going to get. Lol.

Well, it should. The "waggle to do an action a button can do" line of thinking is terrible.Salih said:
Zelda's combat, for better or worse, needs M+. But Mario didn't need the spin attack to not be a button.

I didn't say that he enjoyed them or not, he said they are 'broken'.Feep said:
Also, if he didn't know how it worked,and was trying to aim the bow using IR, which fits with both his complain about IR and broken controls, whole of the review should be revised.
Broken controls, means that you won't be able to control the sword the way you want, or the bow, or the bee; re-centering is annoying, but that's what it is, annoying, it doesn't break the controls and only needs some extra attention. It is not used in every type of the control either.
Gigglepoo said:
Y'see, this statement is problematic. I'm not going to say it's *wrong*, but it does fly in the face of what many other reviewers state; they did not find the aiming to be 'messed up'. I'm assuming the aiming was fine for them, because if it's as bad as you were experiencing for everyone, I'd strongly expect other reviewers to have encountered that - and most just *haven't*.
There's a discrepancy here, and there must be a key to it somewhere - and it'd be helpful to figure out what it is so we know what to avoid while playing the game.
My hunch - and I stress it's solely a hunch - is that it's a quirk of how you're holding things. I'm wondering if a photo of your hands (relative to the screen) in the aiming pose would help.

I didn't play this game, but I had a similar experience to what we are talking here when I tried Grand Slam Tennis, I played a match vs my father-in-law (50 years old) and I lost, my WM+ wasn't calibrated, of course I told that to him but didn't understand shit what I was talking about.
I calibrated the WM+ and beat him 6-0 6-0.
I know the conversation here is not all about the calibration of the WM+, or the lack of it, but this shows that some people play games the way they think they should without knowing nothing about technical stuff, if the game does a good job, they never notice any problem and have fun with it.
When I create games on Unity3D, it's my task to ensure that people can get it and enjoy it without even know anything besides what button is for what action, the rest of gameplay has to flow naturally from the user, and if used incorrect (waggle) I have to show them that they are doing it wrong, and correct that behavior, put warnings on screen, detect waggle movements...
I know I won't have too much problem with Skyward Sword, because I know I have to use a sword like a real one, but in a Tennis game is more easy to show the correct movements than in an adventure one, everyone knows how to move a racquet, but people tend to asociate actions in fantasy games with pushing buttons.

how empty is your life if you get upset at what some other person's opinion of a game is

My life is pretty empty tbh, now I've admitted it I can rage on Gamespot all I want right
My analogy was more in regard to knowing something basic about the field your in rather than making a direct parallel.Metroid Killer said:
Also I never said he was factually wrong, I'm just perplexed that a man paid to write about videogames didn't know IR was not involved. By mentioning IR it make me wonder if he pointed the end of the remote at the sensor and then wondered why it didn't work properly.

Must suck for the hardware reviewers then who can only do their jobs every couple of years.
Well I'll just wait for my copy to arrive and check what the manual states. Oh wait no one reads the manual anymore. HA HA and then we wonder why tutorials make their way into games.

Motion controls have their pluses and minuses. After TP I don't want to go back to aiming a crossbow with a stick. But I also know from the demo I don't want motion controls for sword gameplay. I think Wii U will probably be a pretty good replacement for IR aiming while still providing a traditional controller, which is why I'm positive on the console's potential.
