i got the game today.

and i was really enjoying it,the intro scene was amazing, finally got around to playing the campaign.

the first few minutes were spectacular fleshing out the ps3 potential.

and than right after i cover garza while he opens the gate thingy.

he wants me to open the floodgate.

and then it HIT ME.

to OPEN the valve i MUST use the motion control.

which KILLS my killzone 2 experience because im using one of those other company brand that makes ps3 controllers since my original controller is lost somewhere (probably stolen)

and the one that i have has NO motion control but it has rumble.and before anyone comes and say "why didnt you get one with motion control?"

its because i didnt thought any game company would make it a MUST to use motion control in their game without some

kind of on/off option for it.

and ive used it for a year now and i have NEVER encountered this problem.

suree theres games like LAIR or FOLKLORE who absolutely needs motion control, but thats NOT the type of games ive been playing.

NONE of the games ive played so far has EVER forced me to use motion control, only to give me the OPTION of using it.

this is very dissapointing.

but all in all,

i would like to know if there is ANY way that i could turn a valve without using the motion control?

because i've checked the options and there isnt an ON/OFF button for it.

but maybe im missing something.

help anyone?

Rico, the attrocious narrative, the horrible dialogue/script make it cringe worthy. The game plays extremely well though, the multiplayer is fantastic, and just the feel of the guns is awesome once you get used to it.

and quite frankly, the most annoying thing about the PS3 is easily Six-Axis. Its such a gimmick and its been pretty much useless in most games its been used in. I mean crap the best use has been what guiding the arrow in Heavenly Sword? sorry that isn't exactly worth praising. Flower atleast made use of it in a productive manor.

Not to mention those fire FX eek, oh and the medic beam thing that looks like the tesla claw beam from Ratchet and Clank. These is quite alot in KZ2 to fault actually, but the Narrative, Characters and Dialog/Writing are the most unforgiveable.

I think Flower and FlOw are the only games I've played where sixaxis felt necessary. I hated in Ninja Gaiden Sigma how shaking the controller made your ninpo attacks stronger

Dude once again you bought a cheap 3rd party controller that doesn't have all of the options that ps3 devs can take advantage of. So NO GG didn't ruin anything the only thing that should make you cringe is that you were so cheap to buy a controller like that.

My brother in law did the same thing, then he found out in LBP him and his wife couldn't play together. You know why cause his cheap 3rd party controller didn't even have a ps home button on the controller. Now was that MM's fault, no it was his for being a cheap ask. lol.

Buy an actual Sony controller then... lots of games use Sixaxis even if its only for a few moments, Even MGS4 has 1 point when you need to use the sixaxis.

Sev was much worse than Rico imo. At least Rico had a personality, even if it was stupid at times. Sev was just...nothing. :|

But worst of all the ridicoulus amount of blurring and the small FOV giving me motion sickness. (its the only game i know that does that)

It's just tacked on, like waggle but worse. It's unceccessary and it scews with third party hardware that should otherwise be fine, there is just NO need for sixaxis in almost every game in which it is implelemted.

Yeah but it doesnt change the fact that alot of sony exlcusive devs add some sixaxis use in there games, but Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank: TOD are the worst offenders i have encountered.

you can turn off the motion controller in RC:FTOD and use the analog. Motion controller in RC is %100 optional. There isnt a single aspect in the game where you are forced to use it.

Yeah, motion controls pretty much suck (in my opinion), whether it's the sixaxis, Wii remote, Natal, or PS3 wand thing
