Another in our long line of pointless debates/discussions about the world of gaming, in which my lack of brightness shines through...

Bill
i occasionally play RE4 in my head
imagining different "paths" through which weapons to have at what times :)
did i ever tell you, i unlocked everything in that game?
the wii vers.

Dib
nice
it was enjoyable

Bill
there are 4 uber weapons in that game
a handgun, an automatic, a launcher, and a.... shotgun/rifle?
that last one's a laser weapon

Dib
i can take the herbs, typewriter ribbons, and general sillyness of the settings of those games
but i can't understand why they insist on that contol system
or sligh variations thereof

Bill
raises tension
built-in clumsiness and inaccuracy
i'm not sure i could have unlocked all that stuff on the GC version
though the challenges were the same
the aiming wasn't

Dib
you should never allow your control system to dictate a gamer's proficiancy

Bill
that's a might new-school line of thinking you've got there
nothing "dictates" the gamer's proficiency at operating within the ruleset laid out

Dib
oh, i think mario felt that way from the beginning
press jump, mario jumps
it's almost a slap in the face of gamers

Bill
true. immediately and in a way almost consistent with physics
