Cursed Mountain: I think I'll pass

From theGamespot updated impressions:

"at one point even outrunning an avalanche by quickly moving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls back and forth"

You're kidding me, right? Please tell me you're kidding me!! You'd think developers would have figured out how to use motion controls by now.....

I think that was a bad description more than anything, in the IGN vid it was an up and down motion like pumping your arms when running. Its pretty common motion control solution for one of those running sequences.Sepewrath

Quick question, do you not like quick time events and button mashing mini games (like RE4 on GC)?

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's a pretty accurate motion for simulating a running sequence. Is running childish? :/ Would you rather bash the A button?Sgt_Crow

That damn Shenmue has got a lot to answer for introducing QTEs on us like that what was Sega thinking!!!

Seriously I like the Idea of cinematic sequences like this.

I've seen the video of that piece of gameplay and I'm not so impressed myself. I barely tolerated the random waggle moments in madworld because that game used motion controls everywhere else in a fun and engaging manner, but I'm tired of shaking the wiimote like I'm having a seisure.

I was for the game until it said it would involve the players doing buddhist mantras with the Wii controller. I'm not for that.livinitup01

I like how this game is dividing people. Wiimote'd Buddhist mantras is a big reason why I'm personally drooling for this game. Different strokes, of course, but I'm so happy to see a serious adventure game not involving zapping aliens, zombies, or soldiers.

Let me get this strait, you're writing off this game because you have to do a running motion (like in RE:4) with the Wii controller for maybe 5 seconds every hour?

edit:"with nine levels to explore and roughly 20 hours of gameplay packed in" To me this shows that they want this to be a quality game and not just a quick cash in. I'll at least see how it turns out.

Well, that and I'm just not that interested in the game. Especially after the Silent Hill announcement.

[QUOTE="kardine"][QUOTE="psychobrew"] I hate button mashing. To run, you should just hit forward on the nunchuck while holding down Z (or something similar). I take it that part of the game will be on rails (which I also hate). I don't see how you can really control where you go when waving the remote and nunchuck like a lunatic.psychobrew

[QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="kardine"] Well that makes things different. If they just had you run with the Analog it would be redundant to even have the avalanche falling on you. It is only way to make a challenge out of it unless they start thinking outside of the box and simply pushing forward with the analog is not thinking outside the box. Besides that this is not a make or break feature. Your putting a microscope on this game and acting like this one undesireable part breaks the whole game. This looks like one of the best horror games in a while. Finally we get a horror game that is really about the horror and it also has avery original wy of displaying that horror.kardine

Yeah, I don't buy games that have 20 seconds of non-perfect gameplay too.

[QUOTE="kardine"][QUOTE="psychobrew"] I'm sure they could have made challenges without changing up the control scheme. If they were really able to think outside of the box, they would have figured out a better solution instead of a cheesy one that's been used over and over again.psychobrew

Since you skip games with QTE's I assume that you missed out on alot of newer games.
