I haven't played SFZ do maybe it isn't that bad after all but games that required you to use both screens at once were always a bad idea on the DS, which is why they pretty much disappeared after the first wave of games, so it's weird to see a big Wii U game try and bring that back.

World Ends With You was the the only game with the two screens at once that was fun to play

The disappointment of Star Fox remains a dark cloud over my gaming. Has ANYONE managed to get a handle on these garbage controls? Does anyone have a tip to get me to enjoy the game more?

I said this in the last thread but I just can't trust when people insist the controls in a Nintendo game that sound awful are actually fine because that's what I heard over and over again with Kid Icarus and and that never changed the fact that the controls were awful.

I honestly have never been that into Star Fox games anyways so :shrug:

Star Fox Zero's controls have a learning curve, but they make for a fun experience once you get the hang of them.

This was my reaction.

As it says, I'm far more disappointed that the game has taken five levels before I got an actual boss fight with a boss meter, when before there was one at the end of every level.

Theres no reason for sfz to control the way it does. Unforced error. Make it like 64 like the rest of the game is trying to be and no one complains

A free-to-play version of Forza for PC is starting May 5:

http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fm6_apex_beta_announce

Does anyone know why they went this route, and didn't just port Forza 6 to PC? I'm definitely going to check this out, but it seems weird that there aren't even plans to introduce multiplayer into this. Maybe Microsoft's just pushing to get more interesting F2P stuff (like Killer Instinct, too) to get more people to use the Windows Store?

They still have a bunch of dads paying them 60/year plus dlc purchases on xbox for that game and they dint want to let the cat out of the bag that they are abandoning them until later this year

There are some great one-liners in SFZ. Aesthetically it's quite perfect, if maybe a little similar to 64.

In true "sending death threats to Jeff Gerstman over giving Twilight Princess an 8.8" fashion, Nintendo fanboys spent the week before release fuming about those stupid games journalists not appreciating the brilliant control system even though none of them had actually used it. Combine that with Platinum fans' bottomless persecution complex about their niche action games not getting 10/10s across the board every time and you have an army of people who will never, ever admit that they were wrong and the control system really is dogshit.

Dark Souls 3 is really cool but in it the vast majority of treasure chests are mimics which is just really dumb after awhile. Like I think I've encountered 3 normal chests and 10 mimics. The element of surprise was lost at least five mimics ago.

see also bosses having a surprise crazy 2nd phase which stops being surprising once u realise 80% of them do it

Well, I"m getting better at the controls and the levels are a lot more improved overall as you go along. The hard mode routes are really hard. I feel like I see what they were going for here, but I don't think a dual screen set-up was the best option. I basically only use my cockpit mode unless I have to do manuevering or platforming

I just completely cheesed over a boss in Dark Souls 3. I always feel oddly bad when I do that but if they'd anything I've learned in this series is that if you find something that works, just do that.

Yeah a friend of mine was watching me play Dark Souls last week, and I happened to be cheesing a tough fight by standing in a different room and shooting the thing with arrows, and my friend said that the game looked dumb and stupid, and I explained that "Whatever works" is the best way to handle these games

The boss I cheesed was the old demon king. He was one shotting me way too much but I noticed he had lovely range on his moves so I tried locking on, running whenever he got close and just arrowing him to death and I killed him no problem
