the controls are royally screwed in this game. they have like 4 buttons that dont do a damn thing and they have mapped 3 different actions to "shake the stupid controller". i agree, this would be a great game if the guy in charge of the control layout didnt have his head up his ass. IMO, this has made this into an immediate "$5 bin" game.
So, let me see if what you just said makes sense...
The 4 buttons that don't do anything...they do in fact do something IN TWO-PLAYER MODE. They are mapped for features in Two-player, in both control schemes. Besides, DK doesn't have that many moves to begin with. Why does he need a function on every button?
The roll in this game is different from the previous DKC games. (Something nobody seems to have noticed yet.) The roll is on the shake so it can be a constant roll. They've designed levels around it for bowling through lines of baddies. A single button CAN'T do that properly, and even if it could you all would find a way to complain about it. I'm sure of it. (I know you could bowl through baddies in the original DKC games, but you couldn't roll for longer than a short distance without enemies to propel you. This game, you can roll with or without baddies in the way.)
The three shake functions are modified by directional input. How is this any different a concept from that of multiple moves in Smash Bros? If you need to blow or pound on something, you shouldn't be trying to do it on the fly. If you are, that's why you people are rolling when you don't want to.
And even if this did become a "$5 bin" game, hardly any of us paid for it anyway. Complaining about something you got for free? How pathetic can you get. That's basically saying, "You know, I didn't pay for this, but here's reasons that people who did should be mad about it because I am."
You guys are tearing this game apart based on your own lack of adaptability. (Hmm, is he repeating himself from a previous post? Yes, I do believe he is. Maybe there's a point there. Maybe...) YOU are the ones making the game non-enjoyable for YOU. Try to just take it in as a whole, instead of taking one part you aren't too fond of (which, IMO, nobody has had enough time to form a proper opinion about yet), and saying it ruins the game.
...so, no, nothing you said makes sense.
