The aiming is *bleep*ing perfect because you can change every aspect about controls. You can even set it so the camera will continue to turn even with your cursor off screen, and on top of that, you can change the bounding box, multiple sensitivities, and even map each individual button to whatever you like. The only excuse for stating that the controls of this game are terrible is that you're not even trying to make the controls worth for yourself. Like seriously, most of the bullshit this guy is says "hurts" the game is stuff that you can 100% change and alter.
This guy's a tool. Next.
Is he always so... So ignorant as to not even RTFM? o__0
So chill out and don't take him so seriously.
<3
(P.S. No, that was not sarcasm)
And yes, the controls are absolutely awful and that eyeball thing just get's ANNOYING after you've played a majority of the game.
Seriously, i would rather eat a pile of glass than play this game again.
The Conduit isn't impressive at all.
That aside the review was as hilarious as usual, although I can't say I laughed at the abundance of Sarah Palin jokes, I'm assuming it's an American thing or something.
You will go insane.
Needless to say I'm not defending The Conduit here, I personally thought it was good in comparison to the rest of Wii FPS (MP3 not be an FPS of course) and mediocre by general standards, but complaining about a problem which isn't even there is ridiculous, for humourous intent or not. Consider it also happens to be the game's major selling point aside from the Multiplayer, it strikes me as plain and simply idiotic when the critic who is constantly praised for telling the 'honest truth' unlike the majority of gaming media starts spouting misinformation.
As for the Brawl review, I never got into Brawl and sold it (Never liked multiplayer fighting games myself) so I can't comment on the accuracy of it, although his harsh sounding complaints still struck me more as 'blowing it out of porpotion' than been incorrect. And in responce to Smiffers, the fan response was hilarious, and tbh whether he was innacurate or not, the responses were ridiculous.
Needless to say my point isn't to defend The Conduit, or even make it out to be any better than Yahztee said it was, and as I said most of his complaints were spot-on the mark. But he doesn't even mention the customization of controls. As a reviewer and or critic, one should never disregard something relevent to how a game plays, especially when it (In this case for example) has the potential to completely invalidate a point made by the reviewer and or critic.
The default setting sucked, but you can customise it to change that. Granted there are faults you can find in it even then, one argument been the fact you shouldn't need to tweak the controls to begin with, and some find the customization daunting, but to outright not even mention something that is thrown about as one of the game's main selling points is ridiculous, especially when it's something as crucial to a game as it's control system.
I'm neither defending The Conduit or attacking Yazhtee here but to miss out on such an important (And potentially game breaking) factor in a game when reviewing it is just bad writing, especially considering the aim of reviews and criticism.
