KittyBillionair 14 hours ago#1 So Nintendo had better fucking port them. The GameCube versions are phenomenal but gimmicky unresponsive controls in later versions absolutely ruin them.  If they’re never remade in HD I guess I will have no other option than buying a GameCube or wait for GC classic. stickyreportquote

What the fuck is wrong with playing a non gimmick normal controller? Hated not being able to aim correctly with garbage unresponsive controls. Nothing is wrong with wanting to use a controller but stating the motion controls are terrible is flat out wrong. The prime series got overwhelmingly positive praise for how they handled motion controls. They allowed you to aim more accurately and actually speed up the pace of the game, difference was you had to actually aim. The lock on button didn't do all the work for you anymore. Just because you do not like them, or you are unable to use them well doesn't make them garbage The only one who can fool me is me and i did it once and i don't know why but dammit he must have had it coming! reportquote

DekuFireMage 10 hours ago#16 Played both the gamecube versions and the Prime Trilogy on Wii, the motion controls were a considerable improvement, and I usually dislike gimmicks.

stop3 10 hours ago#17 Aiming is so much better and more responsive with motion controls than with a stick. If you only tried it briefly maybe you didn’t make it past the learning curve.

Sorry you like to flail your arms in the air like a crazy person. I however like to play games, not gimmicks. You're not actually trying to use your entire arm to aim with the wii mote, are you? Use your wrist for aiming, not your entire freaking arm like a moron. This is probably why many people hate motion controls, they think using the strength of their entire arm is the correct way to aim. Of course your arm is going to get tired if you idiotically use the entire core strength of your arms. It's literally almost the same as using a mouse, by moving your wrist. Your wrist is the support that guides your arm through the motions. I can rest my elbow on a arm rest while aiming with motion controls. If you aren't doing that, then that's why you hate motion controls, because you can't do it properly.  You're flailing your arms in the air like a crazy person, as you said.

slightlord 8 hours ago#29 1) The game uses barely any motion controls and what is there is hardly worth mentioning here. 2) The pointer controls are excellent and I believe it is a tragedy that they have been removed from console gaming. I finally found a solution to the mouse/keyboard issue that dual analog failed to fix (too slow and clunky) and now it is gone and all we are left with is the waggle that I despise so very, very much. 3) Your loss on missing out on the Prime Trilogy with pointer controls. The games are sincerely made better for having them. To each their own, however. I lost my second born daughter. I hope my pain is one you never EVER experience.

mareepgod 7 hours ago#48 I can't take anyone seriously with their drive-by posts by saying motion controls suck without giving a reason. It's fine to hate them, but please stop being ignorant about how Prime Trilogy's motion controls work. You don't flail your arms, you use your wrist. If you say motion controls that require to use your wrist sucks, doesn't that mean you hate mouse controls on PC? You're using your wrist in both scenarios. You're aiming the mouse cursor with your wrist just like you're aiming the cursor with the wii mote. The only difference is that the Wii Mote gives people the wrong idea of how to use it, and that really annoys me. In fact, this was the first thing I did when I picked up a Wii Mote for the first time, so I just don't understand why other people aren't capable of doing the same thing.
