carl_dungeon, do games w How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?

Ps5 controller is Bluetooth, works for me without any special drivers. Has native support in some games for the haptic triggers and touch pad. It’s a fantastic general purpose unit. The Nintendo switch classic NES controllers are awesome for retro emulation too- also Bluetooth. They make NES/SNES/N64 variants- but really the ps5 will handle all those use cases and feel just fine for any modern gaming.

For PC, I would personally suggest looking for a controller with two things. Number 1, Hall effect sensors. Eliminate stick drift entirely with that alone. Number 2, replaceable joysticks. If the sticks last a long time, then the controller is expected to last longer. I just think having a way to replace work rubber is a good thing. Personally, I have loved Gulikit. My controller also happens to work on switch as well. Here is a link of you are interested in checking it out. Note that that is the controller I have, but you should definitely look at the different models. My controller has lasted about 3 years now. I used to go through PS5 controllers in about 6 months.

How does Gulikit have a whole-ass website with zero links to actually buy their products?

one_knight_scripting,

That is a totally fair question and one that I simply overlooked. Technically you can buy Gulikit through Amazon. I personally appreciate that the cost of it doesn’t go up over like a regular controller. Scuf did me dirty, I had a scuf for all of two months before the lb button fell apart and they refused to repair it. That thing cost me $185. This controller cost me $70.90 and has lasted me about two years. Here is a link to the Gulikit store on Amazon. I do recommend making sure it is from that store. I don’t know anything about it, but there is a AKNES store which sells gulikt controllers. amazon.com/…/BCC8C06B-7BF5-4D6C-A9A0-6290B8091F02…

On an unrelated note, if you have joy cons with stick drift (who doesn’t have these) then Gulikit also sells just the stick modules so you can fix it for good.

Amazon still does that dumb shit where they allow them to sell a dozen different products on the same listing. And the names are all mislabeled so I don’t even know what product I’m looking at.

SaveMotherEarthEDF, do games w rdr2 question

While others have answered your question, I just wanted to go on a tangent and add to some of the same frustration that you felt.

I hate hand holding in this game. I feel like missions trap you into playing a certain way. You have to treat the missions like they are an interactive movie experience. But otherwise, the open world exploration is fun.

For future, If you really like freedom but also need some goals and story and not just a sandbox, I would recommend trying either legend of zelda botw or totk. I think you can emulate BOTW on steamdeck.

If you can take some punishment then Elden Ring is also a great choice.

I hope that you can enjoy this game though.

vxx, do gaming w Higher difficulties in every single RPG.

I like XCOM for that. They designed the game around the hard mode and made it easier for the other modes.

TheAristocrat,

I totally agree. It’s one thing to just decrease the enemy health, but you can decrease their damage or aim like stormtroopers. On top of that, research, recovery, and build times can be decreased or resource costs and income adjusted. There are so many ways to make the game easier or harder.

If a game deals with difficulty with this method, I’ll probably end up using cheats in the easiest gaming mode. Hopefully the story won’t suck.

We need a new way to symbolise a good game like QQQ for Quality Quality Quality or something. AAA just means unfinished mess that cost a lot which you pay extra for.

Ephera,

The closest approximation we currently have (and likely will ever have) are game ratings…

bokherif, do games w How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?

I would just go for a PS5 controller. You get type c charging, great haptics and good compatibility (either via Steam or ds4windows). Only issue is the stick drift

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t care too much about controllers until I used one of those. Fucking amazing controllers. I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 the other day on it and when driving you felt it shift gears on the R2. Fantastic use of the haptics.

bokherif,

Yeah the trigger haptics do not work on PC though, although it’s great on PS5.

n1ck_n4m3,
@n1ck_n4m3@lemmy.world avatar

Trigger haptics can work on PC but it is game by game/implementation by implementation. Returnal works when connected via USB but not wirelessly (unless you enable Steam Input for DualSense, but that completely removes haptic trigger capabilities, turns the touchpad into buttons, and switches to Xbox button glyphs), but Ratchet & Clank works wired or wirelessly (without Steam Input enabled for DualSense). The DualSense support on PC is kind of hit or miss, I wish they’d just standardize a library that offers the base features wirelessly – the controller is really nice.

CptEnder,

Yeah I use a DS5E and it’s a really well engineered controller, and I’ve always preferred the DS ergonomics. Just gotta use DS4Windows tool for some games remapping. But basically really whatever design ergonomic you prefer and buy that, they all support Windows now even Switch Pro.

My family would play this as a group. We napped at least the first 12 levels, maybe more. My father loved making maps of old video games. I’m certain that his map of the thieve’s cave in Adventure is still floating around the house somewhere.

The extra A comes from the MBAs adding their grain of salt that no one wants.

That’s what I like about raid bosses in Star Wars: The Old Republic where the difficulty changes most of the boss mechanics

@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

That would be great for me since what I hate about raiding in MMOs is precisely that bosses feel more like a puzzle than a skill check with various moments of instakill if you didn’t figure out what to do in under 30 seconds.

It’s either this, or they just scale up the damage by some arbitrary factor, that is a quantum leap from what the bad guys were doing originally.

oh? he did 10 damage in vanilla?
