set the controls to be only on the left stick with movement switching to aiming when you draw your gun. i was having a hard time with it until i did it and then it became really good feeling and natural. it does not play well imo as a 2 stick game.

I'm playing with mouse n' keyboard and it feels good so far - I mean, outside of no moving while shooting. But that's a kind of clumsiness that's making it feel more atmospheric, so it works!

Made it to the second typewriter after the church bells rang and the zombies quit attacking me, and y'know....this is a good game. Dated for sure, but appealing nonetheless and I yelped a few times when zombies lunged at me, so it's definitely working that atmosphere. :D

We don't know because they haven't shown any actual game yet, just concepts.

Its gonna be a 3rd person adventure game exactly like MGS except way trippier and with less shooting, calling it now.

Yeah, I unfortunately hate it which is too bad because I love Shovel Knight. The weird bomb based gameplay just wasn't fun for me.

Still extremely excited for Specter Knight!

I know that these questions can be answered with "just go with it", but uh - why would you send a special agent into a rescue mission with only a handgun and ten bullets?

And why can't he move when he's shooting? Even Harry Mason from Silent Hill could do that!

e: What the heck, why a typewriter for a save point? :psyduck:

Because the original resident evil also had typewriter save points and they're funny

IMO the first level is one of the hardest as plague knight since it is before you get any of your major bomb and movement abilities. The game really opens up with more abilities later and you can, iirc, get an explosion that lets you control yourself better in the air. It has a learning curve to it, but plague knight is definitely very controllable once you can get the hang of him or at least unlock the hover explosion thing

I may try to get back into it but I also seem to have some kind of mental block when it comes to characters with projectiles. I have the same problem with characters like Snake or Diddy Kong in Smash Bros.

e: Not on the control ability particularly, more trying to manage where my character is plus where my projectiles are/are heading towards.

You will learn to hate X and C even more as the game goes on. I think I died to every single X+C prompt that appeared in a cutscene in my let's play of the game

edit: RE5 is somehow even worse because their 'alternate button prompt' buttons are F+V. At least with X+C you can just move your A/D fingers down and hit it, you have to rotate your whole wrist in RE5 which is ridiculous.

Yeah but the game's ungenerous checkpoints made it hard to enjoy having to redo a whole section because I tried to eat my Alpha-bits during a boring talky part.
