I like turtles.
The best/worst part is that the title isn't even that relevant to anything in the game.

yeah i'm pretty sure they came up with the title before anything else

Well the writing is like a weird mix of Paper Mario and Rare, so it's at least only visually generic

the main character and title just scream "mid 2010s hipster game"

I like turtles.
I actually really liked Hat Kid though, or at least, her mannerisms and portrayal in the game. I guess that doesn't necessarily come across just from her design.

i know basically nothing about it other than what hat kid looks like

I like turtles.
Probably wise, it was really fun knowing nothing about what to expect.

but in general anything with a) a top hat and/or b) a monocle and/or c) a long mustache turns me right the fuck off

There was a time where everything had to be steampunk or some shit and it sucked a whole ass.

Still playing sotc.  I've avoided using the horse all this time because the controls for the horse make it faster to just walk.  Now I'm at a colossus that you have to fight while riding the horse and I'm not even getting close to being able to do what the game asks you to do. I tell the horse to go, he stands still.  I tell him to stop, he keeps going. I tell him to go right, he goes left.  I spent a long time trying to figure out how to control the horse early in the game and gave up.  Not sure I'm going to be able to go any further in the game.

don't worry, it's not you. the horse controls, like all controls on sotc, are garbage

Didn't they add another control scheme for the remake?

  All they did was add two button remap options, but just changing the buttons doesn't help the terrible controls.

My entire experience with SOTC is ark complaining about how bad it was back in the IRC days and now Opium having, like, the same issues. It rules.

I've watched someone else play it back then and just thought "I guess having a giant empty world is art"

yeah they really needed to redo the controls entirely

just be glad you're playing it with a decent frame rate, opium

It would be a great game if the made the controls better.  That's why I was kind of dumbfounded when I started playing the remake to find that they did nothing to fix the #1 complaint about the game.

It can be if you don't suck at making games.

on ps2 the entire game is literally a slideshow, and i'm not exaggerating. the frame rate was never good at any point except maybe in the very beginning area
