Maybe its me but I plateu with the controls in a console, and thats it.. things get hot and heavy and I get my *** kicked
I'm completely fine with controllers, EXCEPT if there's any first-person or 3rd-person aiming involved. Then I'm completely ****ed. So HZD was all the more challenging because of it. If I have to aim freely, I need a ****ing mouse, period. HZD requires you to precisely hit specific areas and components of the robot animals, and for a long time I wondered if I was gonna be able to finish such a game. I think all the years I was forced to play Halo and Gears of War games on console kinda helped me a little bit.
wish they could have made an in between mode
I'm stubborn, I absolutely refuse to lower a game beyond Medium/Normal. I'll go up higher if necessary, but I will never drop below. If I can't beat the game on Normal, then I just don't beat the game. I did make one exception however:
Witcher 2. I had to drop it down to Easy. Except Easy was waaaay too easy. Normal was too hard. Your comment about an "in between" difficulty reminded me exactly of what I wanted for
Witcher 2. I needed something above Easy but below Normal for that game. Oh well.
i do wonder if i could have done better with a nice pc and a good mouse and so on.
Halo Reach on X360, I could barely handle the game on Normal.
Halo Reach on PC, I beat that **** on Legendary difficulty, and had a blast doing it. It's amazing what is possible when you have a mouse and keyboard for the games that truly need 'em. I say you don't have to wonder about HZD. If that **** was on PC, you would have undoubtedly played way the **** better.
I honestly still have no idea why most game developers don't support mouse and keyboard on consoles (even when the consoles themselves do). Only a very few games have ever done it. I've looked into various mouse-and-keyboard-like controllers for consoles (or adapters to force use of mouse and keyboard for console games), but I dunno, I don't think such things should even have to be necessary. PCs support all kinds of controllers, but consoles barely support mouse and keyboard. **** doesn't seem right to me.
