See I still feel a toggle boost like sprinting in an FPS would work well. You toggle it on but to stop it you just stop holding forwards. Fair points though mate.

I guess I was way too harsh and obviously the game had a great reception so borderline broken was an exaggeration. I apologise. Actually going to give the game another whirl in a moment.

Just know that I spoke the way I did because I’m probably overly passionate and was just disappointed more than anything. If the game was terrible I wouldn’t care and would have moved on. But it’s one of those games where nearly everything is perfect and just a couple of tweaks could elevate it to being something truly incredible.

I take back what I said. If you can fix those little things, and really give the player that responsive feedback where every mistake feels like their fault and every win feels earned, I will 100% consider buying the next game, as this is so damn close to being an unmissable experience.

I appreciate the game and can see the hard work that has gone into the game. I won’t detract from that. I’m also not angry.

I’m more disappointed that this game is being held back from being amazing and instead is just “ok” because of its controls.

It’s right up my alley. I can maybe forgive the hold to boost. It’s terribly designed and is actually painful, but it’s not really needed that much. But the aiming on consoles is borderline broken and makes the game more frustrating than it needs to be. It is antithetical to the arcade style game you claim everspace to be. I love the layout C. Feels more akin to a first person shooter.

But the fact there is a huge deadzone and then when it finally does register, the reticle moves too fast and far even with sensitivity to 0.0, really detracts from what could be an amazing game. Surely you’ve noticed this when play testing?
