Soldner-X controls analog vs digital

Post by lawnspic »

So i played the PC version when it came out and after five minutes with a digital pad i quit and said f_ck it. I hated the way it felt. I could not tell if it was the awkward ship animation, the fact the gun shoots at the top or just plain shitty controls. Ok, i got it for PS3 since i have been bitching about lack of shmups on the system. After playing it felt like the PC version all over again. So frustrated i dick with the analog stick and what do you know, i felt at home. It is weird because i never play games with a analog stick though some offer it as a option. Most shmups that use the stick like the Dpad make it difficult because of the analogs stick throw distance and the control being purely digital. With Soldner that not the case because its got true analog control. This might possibly be the first shmup i will play using an analog stick. Feels so wrong yet so right at the same time, ha!

Thanks for the info. I was going to buy this game, but it sounds like it would be terrible to play with a stick. They just lost my $9.99.
