enable auto-aim. most console shooters are made with it in mind. so was doom and quake for that matter.

Elarionus,

Even with aim assist on, it just takes forever to spin around and lock on.

yeah that’s the nature of controller aim. there’s a scheme called “flick stick” on steam where the right stick sets your direction instead, but i don’t know if it’s available on onter platforms.

Zahille7,

Turn up the sensitivity and practice. I had to practice with GTA at the shooting range all the way back when I played on console.

Practice is pretty much the only way that’s gonna make playing on console/controller easier. You’ll need to be comfortable not always slamming the stick all the way in the direction you’re wanting to look, it’s a lesson I needed to learn.

Psythik,

Dude just give up and go back to PC. You’ll never even get close to being a fraction as good with a joystick as you are with a mouse. It is impossible for anyone to be. Joysticks just aren’t meant for shooters.

The trick to Returnal, specifically, is to turn the aim asssist to max, and then also go into Accessibility options and make the crosshair as large as possible; the aim assist works off what’s inside tye crosshairs, so if you make it the size of the whole screen, you can’t really miss.

Control you just gotta be good. It’s aim assist fucking sucks. But that’s for the Service Weapon; you really should be meleeing and using telekinesis as your main damage output, and those do get a good aim assist.

Horizon also has great melee and aim assist, tho it’s aim assist doesn’t move the xhair onto things, it moves your arrows toward the target instead. Just keep the circle near enough to what you want to hit.

Also: Hella games support M&KB on PS5 and the PS5 now supports a heap of peripherials. Even my shit-ass Logitech K140 set works if I plug the wireless dongle into the PS5 when it did not work when I got the PS5.

Edit: Oh, also many games on the console have the option to use the gyro controls to aim. That can be a big help for some.

Fire up emulator and play Tomba 2 from the psx era if you havent already played it. That game will blow your mind if you love 3d platformer

commanderschlepper,

Emulators have reignited my interest in gaming. So many modded games and newly translated classics. Bujingai for PS2 is a really interesting platformer and playing the Shinobi games as well.

In that case you might enjoy genji, also on ps2.

Lunistice is quite fun. It’s not groundbreaking but I enjoyed my play through of it. It’s not overly long either which is a positive to me.

DudeImMacGyver, (edited ) do games w Looking for 3D Platformer recommendations on sale on Steam
@DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth avatar

Sure it does: Portal, Ratchet and Clank, Psychonauts, Drake's Fortune, Qube, Beton Brutal, Sonic Generations, Neon White, Mirror's Edge, Tomb Raider, Grimhook, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Little Big Planet, Fotonica, Alice, Fallstruktur, Try Again

This is by no means comprehensive, but if you're looking for 3D platformers, the above games/series are worth a look!

Doom Eternal

MummifiedClient5000, do games w Day 521 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Definitely give Shadow of War a shot if you liked Mordor.

vrek, do games w Day 520 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I love these posts and don’t mean to complain but atleast for me it seems every image except the initial one is broken. It’s only able to load the first image.

newthrowaway20,

Same here

vrek,

Thanks for confirming it’s not my setup.

newthrowaway20,

And now the images work for me

vrek,

Yeah, he fixed them.

zqps,

Here as well.

Shit. It must have been my client. I was using my phone to make last night’s post instead of the usual website. Thanks for catching that! I’ll have to fix it here in a bit

vrek,

No problem. Thanks for fixing it.

colourlessidea,

Isn’t there just one image? Man on some kind of beast?

vrek,

It’s fixed now

colourlessidea,

Yep I see 4 more images now, cheers

Endymion_Mallorn, do games w First Impressions: Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era is an excellent franchise revival, with an unfortunate art style that belies its quality.
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I'm happy with playing the Game Boy Color versions of the games (and King's Bounty on Gen/MD). Though I have to admit that Enroth is my least favorite M&M world. I still love Xeen.

redhorsejacket,

Was Xeen the M&M setting with the explicit science-fantasy inclination? I’ve never played any of the straight RPGs, but I’ve trundled through enough wikis to discover some bonkers concepts in those games. Like, one ends with your party fighting through a dungeon only to discover that the dungeon is actually a buried space ship or something like that?

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Yup, it's very clearly science-fantasy. Not just a buried space ship (there's another one in either 6 or 7 on Enroth). Xeen is a flat world with two sides - The Clouds and the Darkside. It was launched by the Ancients and there are two AIs / robots who are the real power players in the plot, even though they aren't as prominent.

Kellenved,

This unlocked an ancient memory of finding a space ship in MM7

Endymion_Mallorn,
@Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Yup, with the pits and the passwords that are the TOS crew.

If you liked Pseudoregalia, get Corn Kidz 64!

It’s another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

Neon White, Cyberhook, and Crumble are all excellent, though you might be looking for a more traditional platformer.

Blue Fire is decent and definitely worth checking out while it’s $4 right now.

De_Narm, do games w Looking for 3D Platformer recommendations on sale on Steam

Psychonauts is really good and currently less than 2 bucks. There’s also a sequel, currently about 9 bucks. (Both in €)

mfbatz,

I second this. I recently replayed the first game and then the sequel back to back and it was one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.

They were both such a joy to play.

It’s not strictly a platformer, but if you’re also into puzzle games, check out Islands of Insight. It’s super chill, and some of the challenges are platforming/timing based.
