    How is camera control terrible on a gamepad? Proper camera control is the whole point of having a gamepad. :skeptic:

    Could be game related. The game is Kingdom of Amalur. It is so slow. the walking around is just getting used to. The buttons are nice. during combat it is just hell to keep it focused, or to move it. It is in slow motion compared with the rest. and yes, I used in game settings for camera movement.

    IIRC, Amalur had a similar problem for me on PC.

    I found Amalur to control pretty well with the good ol' mouse 'n' keyboard combo. Main issue is the criminally low FoV, which makes everything weirdly zoomed in and often leaves you blindsided. :nolike:

    If you bring up a topic that a lot of different people have an opinion on, that might help.

    Then it would belong in another forum.

    ION, saw Wonder Woman with T3V1 and T3V2 -- I thought it was pretty good but Ares was pretty obvious early in the movie. I still think Capt America #1 is tops for comic movies ... but WW had a better bod and the machine gun nest was an awesome scene.

    I saw it with my wife and daughter. We liked it. We felt that the whole island scene was great, but it took so much time that the rest was rushed - leading to the aforementioned obvious Ares issue.

    She definitely has a better bod. Very good looking woman. We were all impressed.

    Gal certainly put a lot of effort into looking the part, although she still falls far short. Of course, she's got a nigh-impossible standard to live up to, but still.

    As far as the movie goes, it might be the first DC movie actually worth paying for. Marvel's got them beat across the board though.

    Saw it with wifey. Both liked it. Really liked Gal's WW--I thought she brought a very convincing physicality to her action scenes (well, to all her scenes). Saw Ares reveal coming, but spent lots of time being hopeful that I'd be wrong about my guess. More WW, please.

    I'll have to admit I did like Gadot better than this Wonder Woman ... :p
