The traditional run'n'gun player in my is happy that isn't an option. It controls like classic Contra in this regard, and I'm happy for it.velo wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 11:59 pm Have you gotten any use out of the analog controls? I was hoping for a "left dpad move, right stick aim" control option. I recall Gunlord supporting that, plus having "shoot" on a shoulder button, so it was convenient to flip back and forth between free aiming and twin stick at any time.
It's possible to use the left analog stick for controls to aim in 360 degrees, and there are definitely some places where it would be a massive advantage - for example while ascending the waterfall, you could easily take out enemies as soon as they scroll in above you without having to stand in a specific location. But I don't know, it just feels dirty to me, from what I've played the game doesn't seem to expect you to make use of this at any place, and the 360 degree aim can even be disabled in the settings. I'd honestly prefer if it didn't even exist, but it's probably an attempt at appealing to the "QOL crowd" who thinks any video game convention that was established more than 15 years ago is antiquated.
