Yes
What?
If you control a real tank with a remote and stand above it the controls are tank, when you stand behind it and do the same dis is no longer tank controls.
But they still control like cars. You are being very silly ITT.
Goddamnit gaf, it's not that hard
Because you have to engage with said controls to play it...
I don't think you comprehended (or read) my post. I didn't say I didn't like the game. I said I don't like tank controls. I gave the tank controls a real chance this time and Resident Evil 4 didn't change my mind about them is all. I beat the entire campaign and got used to them after a certain point and even after thirteen hours, I still didn't like them. Do I think it makes the game terrible? Absolutely not. There's nothing bad or wrong with tank controls. The controls here function properly and were responsive. In fact, RE4 is designed around them and because of that, everything in the game comes together nicely. It's still a great game.
It matters because then a classical FPS can have tank controls as well (I'm almost sure Wolfenstein 3D could be considered "tank controls" with a lax definition). And I'm sure we can all agree with that's not being correct.
It doesn't matter. An FPS can have tank controls if the developers decide to implement them. Tank controls boil down to how the character moves. I think someone mentioned that Metroid Prime has quasi tank controls. I haven't played it in a long time, though, so I don't remember every detail about the controls. I do know you can strafe when locking on to enemies and that makes a world of difference, actually.
That's why I think perspective has to be a factor, or at least some leeway. Cause I personally don't think "tank controls" should include classical FPS, the term was born out of a third person context.
Yep.
Not on my watch.
Auto Action Button, as it is called, was originally only available on Amateur difficulty, but it's such a good QOL improvement that it was made available on all difficulties. But Capcom being Capcom, they buried the option in a submenu of the options menu only available from the main menu, and not the ingame phone menu. They did the same thing for FOV sliders.
Just because a term was coined much later doesn't mean it can't be applied retroactively to something when appropriate. The early FPSs weren't even called FPSs until much later. That goes for anything, like The Great War being labeled World War I long after the fact.
I think the biggest reason I don't like them is because they don't make sense for a character, realistically. Like in this type of situation, who wouldn't move and reload at the same time? Why can't he move and shoot? Why can't the man strafe? Is he incapable? I mean I get the point that the controls create the tension and whatnot but it just doesn't make sense. When I put that aside, though, I can enjoy it. Now if I'm actually operating a tank in a game, I'm cool with it.
I'm replaying RE6 on PC thanks to humble bundle and I'm trying to appreciate the action mechanics as much as possible but the campaign (started on Leon's) still just sucks. I turned on the auto QTE option and was dismayed to find it doesn't do anything for the constant enemy grab QTEs or tedious environmental interactions.
If enemies are grabbing you, especially constantly you're not dodging/countering properly. Basically any physical attack from an enemy can be dodged/countered. All leaping enemies have clear tells, allowing you to time the counter correctly. I'm not saying "git gud", but rather that the game is punishing you, and you're supposed to learn a lesson from that -- in theory.
I'm arguing if we're all okay with retroactively calling tank controls in some FPS. Personally, I don't like that idea, I'm way too biased on that regard. It's a slippery slope, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
