started with NES games in late 80’s, so in theory I should be fine with game pads? Platformers and driving games I can generally do fine, anything else? … heh, it’s like watching parents use computers. I just can’t do first/third person aiming with analog sticks or use bumpers/triggers at the same time with anything else.
Mouse and keyboard are my weapons of choice, at least with those I’m not embarrassingly bad.
edit: though, Nintendo Game Cube controller is kinda my thing, not that I’ve played much of NGC games or anything, but I did finish Eternal Darkness just fine (emulated, used savestates, but still), the controller just feels way more natural than modern xbox/ps controllers
Eternal Darkness is one of the very few horror games I’ve played AND completed - well not 100%'d but played through twice, once on GC and once emulated.
The game kinda waters down the whole sanity thing as you can just magick your sanity back up. Same for health, and magick goes up by just running in a circle for a bit. So essentially you can just max all meters all the time.
Either way, it’s a neat game. Even for those who are not really into horror games, as the game isn’t really that spoopy - and this is coming from someone who just generally can’t with horror games.
