Imagine Aiming In One Direction While Moving In Another
10 views • 6/9/2023
A meme making fun of the lack of modern movement mechanics in a $90 game by a AAA studio.
00:00 - 00:05 | So my friend says to me, "Buddy, Hey, come and check out this game." |
00:05 - 00:07 | I say okay, hurry up and show me. |
00:07 - 00:10 | He waits in a queue, game finally loads... |
00:11 - 00:16 | He clicks on the map. His character walks over to the spot where he clicked. |
00:17 - 00:21 | I couldn't believe it. No WASD movement! |
00:21 - 00:24 | In 2023! |
00:29 - 00:31 | In 2023... |
00:31 - 00:34 | $90 dollar game and it doesn't even have WASD movement! |
00:38 - 00:40 | But here's the thing... |
00:41 - 00:47 | The game is on consoles. So it already has controller support built in! |
00:47 - 00:50 | They could have reused those same mechanics, |
00:50 - 00:56 | bound those movement controls to WASD as well, but they just didn't bother! |
00:58 - 00:59 | Bro, I'm not done. |
00:59 - 01:01 | They had plenty of time to program a store, |
01:04 - 01:06 | plenty of time to pump out $15 cosmetics! |
01:06 - 01:08 | But no WASD movement! |
01:13 - 01:14 | In 2023! |
01:14 - 01:16 | Who buys a game like this? |
01:16 - 01:20 | We used to pay $60 for a complete game! |
01:21 - 01:27 | $90 game, cosmetic store, battle pass, but it doesn't even have WASD movement! |
01:35 - 01:36 | I mean... |
01:36 - 01:39 | What kind of person finds this acceptable? |
01:41 - 01:44 | Ok, I'm sorry, I'll try and calm down. |
01:44 - 01:47 | I know a lot of people love this franchise. |
01:47 - 01:49 | Not all games have WASD... |
01:50 - 01:53 | Well, Immortal did! |
01:54 - 01:56 | Can you believe it? |
01:56 - 01:58 | Diablo Immortal had WASD! A phone game! |
01:58 - 02:02 | But for the full installment? Nah, we don't need it! |
02:05 - 02:07 | In 2023! |
02:10 - 02:11 | I mean, can you... |
02:11 - 02:13 | Can you imagine having fewer features than a phone game? |
02:15 - 02:17 | In a $90 major franchise installment? |
02:17 - 02:20 | Can you imagine being the one who pays for that? |
02:21 - 02:28 | Wouldn't be me playing a game on PC where you can't aim in one direction while moving in other... |
02:29 - 02:30 | You can't kite? |
02:30 - 02:32 | You can't even kite enemies. |
02:36 - 02:39 | You have to take turns moving and attacking... |
02:40 - 02:42 | Because you can't do both at the same time! |
02:50 - 02:55 | I just wonder what is the point of even getting this game on PC. |
02:56 - 02:58 | Can't you just use a controller? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Yeah, I suppose you could use a controller... except to type messages. |
03:04 - 03:09 | How are you going to type messages with a controller? |
03:09 - 03:11 | Might as well play the game on your phone... |
03:16 - 03:20 | At least your phone has a touchscreen. |
03:23 - 03:26 | Lol imagine if that was the response to D4! |
03:31 - 03:36 | We liked it better when it was a phone game! |
