i guess to each their own but fuck this game seems like epilepsy

This footage is taking the combat systems of the game to their extreme and the first ~15 minutes is against severely underleveled enemies that drop like flies.

It's not really representative of the game, which has a much heavier emphasis on story and exploration than combat.

I just didn't consider that this could be someone's first exposure to Okami. My bad.

DS4 config: steam://controllerconfig/587620/2256022438
Gotchas: you need to click the Left Stick in celestial brush mode to enable the gyro. (Please let us default the toggle to enabled, Valve!)

Features:

  • Gyro Celestial Brush
  • Left stick doesn't move the brush unless it's re-centered first (to avoid unintended interference with gyro)
  • Faster camera movement
  • Gyro camera on touchpad touch (except in Celestial Brush mode due to In-game Actions limitations)
  • One-handed fishing (right stick also moves the rod, instead of the camera)

The biggest challenge in doing this configuration came from the weird way in which they set up touchpad-related IGAs.
They made a perfectly serviceable relative "Touchpad" IGA, but its input is ignored unless the superfluous "Touchpad (touch)" IGA is active, which caused quite a few headaches when trying to use the former with the gyro and the right stick.

I'm also doing a silent let's play to showcase this config more extensively: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhDuHgZwoWDd7dW5CQEyd2QBm-la8zb2L

Edit: Uh oh, the embedded player on Reddit plays the first video on the playlist instead of the one that was explicitly linked.
I'll just reorder the playlist to play the video I linked, but boy does that open up the possibility for some bait-and-switch mischief...
