I've played games for a reasonable amount of time before it became obvious how bad they were, sometimes not even until after I'd finished (Bioshock Infinte) but over ten hours is pushing it even then.

Thank God game time tracking wasn't a thing in the 90's, my Mega Drive Sonic times or Mario 64 would be astronomical.

Games that I truly think are bad never manage to hold my attention for very long so I don't know what putting 80+ hours into something I hate would even feel like. There are plenty of mediocre titles that can swallow up 100 hours of your time though.

Over the past year I've been slowly transitioning from inverted Y axis to non-inverted Y axis and oh boy is that hard. I started because I was playing Wind Waker HD where I couldn't actually swap it, so I figured gently caress it, I'll just adjust. But now I'm somewhere in the middle where neither option feels completely comfortable and I have made a huge mistake

Sakurazuka posted:What fucks me up is the rare game that inverts horizontal, if I ever get used to that I spend the next few games I play not being sure what the right way is. The original version of FFXII did that. It was a real fucker to get used to. Cowcaster posted:if you're using a joystick/thumbstick the y axis SHOULD be inverted... Well, I'm definitely not inverting on a mouse. Inverted y-axis on a thumbstick always made the most sense to me, but then if I think about it too hard with the way horizontal works it messes me up. I've read the analysis that some people think of it like controlling their character's head with the thumbstick on the back of it--if you press down, the head's going to tilt upward, that kind of thing. That works for y-axis, but it doesn't work for x-axis, and inverted horizontal is nuts.

when you're flying a plane pulling back on the joystick makes you go up, pushing forward makes you go down, but pushing to the left and right makes you roll left and right

although to be fair if you're actively thinking about how your mechanism for looking around in a videogame functions while playing the videogame regardless of what peripheral you're using or how it's calibrated you're probably going to have a bad time

Still a mystery to me why the Xbox 360 was the only console to ever have a master systemwide preference for inversion and one or two other things. No one else ever copied it and even MS dropped it for the One.

I still have time for longer games but nowadays they have to be something I'm really into or I end up dropping them or in extreme cases actually forgetting they existed just yesterday.

In Training posted:They do it in MGSV i replayed the tutorial mission a second time because the first time through i was WEED HIGH AND DRUNK and i bumped my mouse by accident when they did this and was locked into backwards controls temporarily fortunately from what i remember MGSV also does the extremely good thing that more games need to let you do of letting you pause during cutscenes and quit so it was a quick fix

I knew I'd seen it in a couple of other games, sadly it's often lost on me because the first thing I do on starting a new game now is go to the options and see if I need to change it. Though not all games let you do that.

I've seen a decent number of games do it recently, but it's not something that I really remember or care about, because I use normal controls like a normal person. Also I just rebind my brain to whatever controls a game needs, and have a serious problem telling whether controls are even inverted during gameplay and often have to stop to do a conscious test.

The two games I put the most hours into in Steam are Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX2, but I have like 50 tables for each of them and I like competing against high scores across my friends list. I played FFXIV on the PS4 so I don't know how many hours I put into that, maybe 100 or so? I think I put 90 hours into Persona 5 too but some of that is from where I fell asleep with it on. RPGs have always claimed lots of my time, but I can't really stay committed to something for as long as I used to, with the occasional exception. Like, when I see that people have put hundreds of hours into Overwatch or something I think "man, if I put that much time into this I bet I'd be really good" but I just keep buying games and moving onto the next thing. Like, if I want to play an online shooter I have to narrow it down between Overwatch, Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, Killing Floor 2 and Black Ops 3. In those cases it just depends on if there's a PS4 party for one of the games or if I want to try and get seasonal costumes for Overwatch. My backlog is killing me and I keep adding to it.

any game designer that makes a game that goes directly into an unskippable, unpauseable cutscene the first time you launch it as a form of "immersion" should be hit in the head with a brick
