I don't remember the controls being bad in the first Overlord (though playing without a 360 controller is weird) so not sure what to say. SM64 had better-than-average controls with a mediocre-at-best camera.

I'd give the nod to pretty much any recent game with a more free-form camera control. As far as controls themselves go, I don't really find anything complicated control wise ever so not sure what to say in that regard.

[spoiler]Prototype has way too many options for the controller (how the fuck would that work for PC anyway?) though, I'll say that. And who the hell thought up X+B simultaneously?[/spoiler]

Edit: Also relies a lot on what you mean by "bad controls" or "bad camera." Quite frankly, if I have control of the camera, there really isn't a case for "bad camera" outside of stupid moments where the camera warps to silly positions when you turn a corner or something (fuck you Ninja Gaiden).

lol @ the last time I played Castlevania Judgment.

My friend was playing Dracula. He would float in the air and the camera would tilt up for no reason. Then I couldn't see where his attacks were coming because DRACULA was blocking the screen so I died from 100-0. THAT'S bad camera.

I absolutely disagree that Mario 64 has the best camera.

I've been replaying it recently, and I've died three times due to pure camera limitations.

Ocarina, I think, had far better controls. The ability to instantly aim/focus was perfect.

Manjimaru is IMO a SUPERB oldschool rpg. I've played well into the PC Engine version, but do like the portability, and slight upgrades here ad there.

Sadly I never got to play the PC-Engine version because I never bothered investing in a system. I bought the Playstation 2 remake, however, and it hasn't left my list of top 10 favorite RPGs since. I also bought the DS version for the portability. It's a pretty good port!

Now they just need to port Apocalypse IV to the DS and I can die happy, hah.

Kicking it up as a bard on RO. Crossdressing has to be one of my best ideas ever.

Bustin' my way through Mario 64 still.

32 Stars, about to face Bowser for the second time. Determinedly getting the 100 coin stars for as many levels as possible.

So, some interesting things from The Sims 3:

*goes back to doing nothing*

Edit: Infinite Space recently released and it seems to be doing well (both in sales and reception). Interesting. Good news for Platinum Games, I suppose.

There's really nothing to say.


[spoiler]I'd actually like to see the cel-shading from this used in an RPG or something. >>[/spoiler]

I want to see the everything from that used in an RPG or something.
