Panzer Dragoon Zwei and 3d pad

Post by Ivo »

Hi,

I've started playing Zwei today and been using the 3D pad. Often when I use the shoulder buttons to turn, the Berserk attack goes off. It seems this is somewhat normal as I have found references to this on the net. What gives? I thought Zwei was compatible with the 3D pad. I'm not even sure I'm getting actual analog control here.

On another note - the game seems very short. I played a good bit today, and I think I'm on the last level already (I also expected it to be harder - I've been getting over 95% shootdown rate on each level so far). It's a very nice experience so far*.

*I think it is David Sirlin that writes he doesn't know any game that is too short (too expensive is a different story), but he does know many that are too long.

It doesn't support the 3D controller, you aren't getting analog control and yes using the triggers shoots off berserk.

I forget how you do it, but somehow there is a way to adjust the controls so that Beserk doesn't fire when you press the trigger buttons.

I've done it on mine.

Also, the game is pretty short, but there is a lot of replay value. Wait until you unlock pandoras box.

I finished it in a weekend! I guess I can try the different routes. It is a great game, short but great.

I played Saga before actually so I got Pandora's box. Otherwise I would need 100% shootdown everywhere I guess... I reckon if I replayed the earlier levels with proper Berserk I might get it - although episode 4 makes it easy to miss something in the tunnels. I got 100% on Episode 5, but Episode 6 was a pain and it is really easy to miss someone (I got up to 97% though).
