I started up a new Terraria play through this last week. I’ve beaten most of the Pre-Hardmode bosses. I’m about to hoik through the door of the Temple to gather trap materials for my house.

It’s been fun. Though I’m having trouble getting an obsidian farm going on the current version.

Last time played was during the first “final” update… 1.2 I think. And there’s a loooot that I haven’t seen yet.

Well shit. A previous update removed the ability to farm traps until post-Golem. RIP Golem cheesing using spiky ball dispensers.

I prefer controller on all games aside from top-down games and competitive games. Even faster games that I treat more casually, like destiny or overwatch, I use a controller.

I prefer controller for basically everything except fps games. I don’t really play more keyboard designed games though, like civ, very often. If I do I’ll def use keyboard though

So no keyboard for Hollow Knight (nice avatar, btw)? I couldn’t imagine how horrible I’d be at a game like that on a keyboard!

chloyster,

Haha yeah no that would not be enjoyable for me. But, at the same time, the world record for smb1 is by a player on keyboard, so different strokes!

Also thanks!

This is actually a good question. I hope you get some replies from serious gamers.

I am not a serious gamer, but I’ve always preferred keyboards for FPS and RTS games. Years ago when I tried an FPS game for the first time on a console using a controller it was a disaster and took weeks to get used to.

That being said, normally console FPSes are designed to be much more-forgiving as to response time to account for the controller, and there’s typically some level of auto-aim. If you’re playing against other players, they’re going to be using analog sticks too.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m with you on this, would rather have the mouse, just that I dunno if I’d call it a disaster. It’d be a disaster if people using mice/keyboards were competitively playing against people with analog sticks in an FPS.

The Oracle games are amazing, Oracle of Ages pulled young me into the Zelda series.

I’m currently switching between Armored Core 6, X4 Foundation and Baldur’s Gate 3, depending on my mood.

This is one of those rare cases where Nintendo could fix your console for free or give you a replacement. You should contact customer service, they’re usually very friendly and helpful. Good luck 🙂

N00b22,

Yeah tomorrow I’m sending it to a authorized store

I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 as much as I possibly can. I’m having a ton of fun with it! I’ve never played D&D, or any of the Baldur’s Gate games, so I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it!

When in doubt, check the tooltips to see what a thing means and what it does. Even the tooltips have tooltips sometimes. I do really wish they broke down the to-hit percentages underneath the cursor in combat, because that would go a long way toward helping the player understand the underlying math.

That’s the combat log for you. Listing all the math going on would be a bit much.

Personnaly I just went along without checking too much of how things are calculated. When I saw 30% hit chance, I just knew I had to do somehting else. When I got a good grasp of the system, I dug deeper on how things are calculated.

There’s a lot to understand for new players so I think they made the right call.

Thinking about it, maybe just listing the AC or the attribute that would make the Save without the need to Examine each enemy would be nice.

@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I definitely went several hours being okay with only the to hit chance, but once you start leveling up and fighting harder enemies, you're looking for ways to optimize, so I wish it was an option to see what the math is that determines that chance ahead of time.

Deep Rock Galactic, after playing around with the grapple I would fall to the ground and die.

Rimwold. I’ll be dying from an infection caused by a chinchilla’s bite.

I don’t know how to ride a horse so I’d probably get mauled by a bear or murdered by outlaws trying to get somewhere civilized.
