Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?
madjo@feddit.nl 1 day agoDescent broke my brain. I’m pretty good at navigating in FPS’, but Descent’s 4 axis of movement just didn’t click for me. I kept getting lost, recently I tried it again after many years, I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Same with space sims. I’m dog awful in dog fights.

Indeed, it’s not quite a game for everyone, especially if you’re prone to motion sickness. Initially it only took me about a half hour to get a feel for the game, but configuring the controls can still be a headache.
Every time I set the game up on a new or different system, I tend to usually go for loosely the same sort of controls, but each new setup I might change up the controls a bit, like an endless guessing and testing game to see what controls might be ideal, at least for me.
By the way, Descent is considered a 6 Degrees Of Freedom game, not 4. But hey, at least they have a map feature, I’d go insane without the map sometimes…

I meant 6, not sure why I typed 4.
