Bilbo, do games w Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

I only play inverted x and y, but I’m thinking of learning to play both non inverted since it seems to be supported universally, so I wouldn’t need to worry about it.

That said, I never understood why every modern game wouldn’t support both being configurable.

atlasraven31, do games w What are some good funny games/mods out there?

Left for Dead 2 has a mod that turns the zombies into Teletubbies.

It depends on the game.

Typically I prefer normal, but there are some games where inverted camera just makes it easier, like games with full 3D exploration (flying/swimming). I do sometimes only invert the vertical for these, so I’m that maniac.

If you are an older gamer, you’re probably right that you picked it up in the early camera control games (ps1/2 for me), because changing camera function wasn’t an option and a -lot- of games inverted by default back then. I believe the logic was to treat your view camera like a real video camera, where you push the back to the left to point the camera lens to the right, but most people don’t have that type of experience so it’s less intuitive, which is why it’s less common now. I blame mostly Spyro flying challenges for my limited inversion use.

And like you, I struggle with games that don’t allow me to pick, which is most of the older games, even remastered 😭 it’s so hard to re-learn.

One big thing I love about my Steam Deck is the ridiculous amount of control customization available with Steam input.

Worst case, if there’s no option to invert in the game, you can change it in Steam with one click and it’ll remember your settings for each game.

@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

There cannot and should not be balanced and open discussion on this issue. You cannot “polite” your way into finding a way to say that non-binary people are not legitimate.

This is paradox-of-tolerance stuff. Maintaining an inclusive community requires being intolerant of intolerance.

The existence of non-binary people does not hurt you.

Insisting on finding ways to deny that they exist hurts them.

So no, there will be no polite disagreement.

Fuck the chuds.

While the concerns you’ve raised resonate with many, it’s worth remembering JFK’s words, ‘Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.’ As a society, we must consider the nuance that exists in any debate, even one as sensitive as this. Open discussion should serve as a mechanism to understand what defines intolerance and how to appropriately combat it, rather than shutting down dialogue altogether.

DLSchichtl,

No, just shut up and go be a bigot somewhere else, fucking cockholster.

librechad,

Very constructive response.

Have you tried Gang Beasts?

wallmenis,

No. What is the game about?

(I can google but I am asking in case you have an itch to nerd out on a stranger)

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

It's basically physics-based wrestling, and it's goofy as hell.

ivanafterall,

Best, funniest local multiplayer game I've found. Also playable online. Up to 4 players. Goofy physics-based fighting game in which you control a jellyish humanoid and control arms individually to fight. It creates some really hilarious moments as you're both dangling off a billboard, holding onto each other in a big cluster, etc... The trailer.

wallmenis,

I think dunkey made a video on this… Could be wrong though. Looks pretty fun!

@Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works avatar

There’s also Human Fall Flat. It has the same feel as Gang Beasts, but instead of fight you have to explore a map and solve puzzles

wallmenis,

I have that but no friends to play with…

Standard unless there’s and flying involved, either in atmosphere or space, then I invert Y. Can’t imagine ever inverting X, that just blows my kind. Been playing since before WASD was a thing, so I’ve seen most implementations I guess.

    I guess I always have it my head I’m the object I’m controlling rather than the camera following, so my brain defaults to more direct control? I do tend to favour “in-cockpit” / first person view.

    Nayviler, do gaming w What runs better? Native GTA IV pc port? Or emulating GTA IV PS3 version?

    Unless they’re poorly written, native games will always run better. The GTA IV PC port is fine.

    cyanarchy,

    The reason this is being asked is because the PC port for GTA IV was notoriously broken. There is a popular set of patches and mods that will improve that and I know they come bundled in the fit girl repack but it’s one of the ones that won’t play nice with WINE during installation.

    circuitfarmer,
    @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    It runs fine on the Deck. I suspect Proton is the difference, as it’s much better tuned for gaming vs. stock Wine.

    cyanarchy,

    It’s not an FPS problem, it’s a visual fidelity problem stemming from a bad port.

    Tathas, do games w Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

    With a controller I need invertY or I can’t do anything right.

    No invert with a mouse though, unless I’m playing a flying game.

    You, sir, need to play Chivalry 2.

    Dunno if it’s still on there (and if it is, it won’t be for long) - but it was in the Humble Bundle for £8.99 or however many $.

    Hmm… Just by the description on steam and the screeshots, it looks promissing.

    whiskers, do gaming w Anyone feels like almost all modern online games are boring?

    It would be helpful if you could list a few games.

    wallmenis,

    I guess TF2 is good fun… Then old nintendo games… CS when not taken too seriously/is an older version than GO… TF|2 (Titanfall 2) Halo custom games… ect

    SheeEttin, do gaming w Anyone feels like almost all modern online games are boring?

    Have you considered playing different games?

    wallmenis,

    I have and I do! In fact, I’ve been trying some old nintendo games (SM64, DKC mostly)… TF2 and TF|2 are ones that I play when comes to online that I enjoy (especially when I stumbled on a VSH lobby after the summer update where people were spamming the vc with memes and sound effects… It was awesome). CS:GO and L4D2 are the games that I mostly enjoy playing when there is company (yes I am the type of person that would preffer playing with a shotgun in Office)… Apex is the game we mostly play but I do it more because of the human interaction rather than because I enjoy it as a game. Oh there is also Halo that I enjoy mostly from the campaigns and the custom games.

    I prefer uninverted purely because that is what I grew up with. On the og xbox there weren’t many options to change controls, so you had to put up with what the game gave you. I can play with inverted controls, but it feels like writing with my left hand.

    atlasraven31, do games w Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

    I prefer inverted too. It feels more natural to me. Just like a bike, I can’t do the opposite with much success.

    Try Among Us Town of Host Re-Edited

    it has more freaking roles than I can ever remember and quite a bit are OP, also very configurable by host, you have to join rooms by code though ever since innersloth upped anticheat. If it says something version incompatible enable vanilla mode in settings

    I also wonder if you have tried Blockstorm, it’s pretty much high quality shenanigans

    Xepher, do gaming w Anyone feels like almost all modern online games are boring?

    I started feeling this way a while back and eventually realized it wasn’t the games that had changed so much, but me. Getting older really does change your interests and how much you have fun with different playstyles.

    I used to not want to play games if they didn’t have some form of multiplayer, but these days if I get to game at all, all I want is a quality single player experience.

    swnt,
    @swnt@feddit.de avatar

    Indeed. While many years ago I was playing almost only League of Legends with friends every evening after school, now I’m more enjoying the quality in note/totk, Celeste, and co. I also feel like online games aren’t anymore the places where you could get to know strangers and make online friends. LoL has gotten too toxic and competitive. And Minecraft servers have a 5oo young demographic for me

    ApathyTree,
    @ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Likewise, as one ages, different components of games become more or less important.

    Example - used to hate sitting through cutscenes and dialogue (it was just reading back then, but I was a big reader so that wasn’t the issue), would skip whatever I could and get frustrated when I couldn’t. But these days I actually like a good story-focused game (botw, horizon), and don’t skip through it in any game unless the story is garbage… although I love largely story-free games as well (dysmantle is the current passion - there’s very minimal story that you have to piece together, and most of it is obtained through exploration rather than quests or interaction)

    I also haven’t played online in years - since my wow days (vanilla and first expansion, then gave it up, so like 2008). Other people ducking around tends to detract from the game for me, and I strongly dislike PvP because I’m terrible against humans who don’t follow specific patterns… now I get frustrated when I accidentally buy a game that doesn’t have offline/single player content. If I could host my own servers for them though……
