Wolfox 2093 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Simple question really, do you like the Minimap to rotate as you rotate your character or not? Personally, I like the map to not rotate. I like knowing where North is so my sense of direction (as bad as it is) can at least do a little bit of work Link to post Share on other sites
HUEnd 129 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Assuming I can control the rotation (i.e. it's not based on my movimentation): rotating minimap (such as Don't Starve's map). Otherwise rotating emblem. Link to post Share on other sites
BandorKitty 390 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hmmm I think it depends on the type of game. For example, in RPGs where it's important to know where you have and haven't been yet it's much easier to have the map stationary, but in other games like open world racing games I'd prefer the map to rotate with the character, since its fast paced and just a quick glance at the map is all you need. You don't need to be figuring out exactly which way you're facing in relation to the map right before you're supposed to turn or you're likely to miss it. Link to post Share on other sites
Dragoknight 264 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Nope. Can't stand when the map rotates. When I'm playing an open world RPG, when I'm exploring, it helps a lot when I take glance at the mini map and figure out which way is north without a second thought. Just the way I think really. I pay attention more to the cardinal direction I'm moving towards than the actual path I take to get there. When it comes to more intense games that require you to think fast, I don't think it really matters, but I suppose a mini map that adjusts so you can more clearly see the path you're taking could help.

Chase 94 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I like the rotating map when it has the indication of what North is on the edge of the emblem. I am pretty good at directions, so I prefer seeing my indicator going up the map. Link to post Share on other sites
5hift 78 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Rotating map confuses the hell outta me sometimes. I feel its better to sort of physically "see" where I'm looking on the map. Link to post Share on other sites
Silvermyst 4 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Rotating map throws me off. I'd like the map to be stationary so I can always know where north is and my relative position to it. Link to post Share on other sites
