Did the game dark souls have a combo release?

theskyisfalling,

Not that I knew of and apparently it is a custom made one as per the other responses. Til

been playing Callisto Protocol since i got it free from the Epic Store a little while back. I’m really enjoying it.

ConstableJelly,

So close to great. I wish more developers were making environmentally detailed, high production value, single player linear games like Callisto Protocol. Just that little bit better executed to round out the total package.

Renacles, do games w Corporate greed is killing RuneScape

I quit when they announced the membership increase a few months ago.

I’ve been logging on for the new updates since my membership lasts until next month but they have all been pretty much terrible since.

It really saddens me to see the game go down this path.

Buttflapper,

Don’t worry, there will be better times ahead friend. Maybe not for this game, but I’m sure that someone will be inspired by the joy that the game brought them and create something similar. Games like Valheim arose this way, and the original dev (Gower) is creating another game with no microtransactions in it at all. Just sucks that this has to keep happening repeatedly with every game

Renacles,

I’m just glad I came back for the Elder God Wars year, that was some of the best RuneScape content we’ve ever gotten.

Malgas, do gaming w Can anyone help me identify this Xbox controller?

but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.

Custom official controllers are a thing.

theskyisfalling,

I knew custom controllers were a thing but honestly the quality looked too good that I presumed it wasn’t a custom one. Thank you for the reply though! Solves that mystery :D

All of these mods were (are?) available to people willing to fork over extra cash to have their own controllers made via Xbox Design Lab.

theskyisfalling,

Cheers man for the reply. Yeh it seems like this is the case I just didn’t know that it was a thing.

I’ve bought coloured buttons and modded my own controllers before but it was the text on the bottom that was throwing me as it has been professionally added! I didn’t know that design lab was a thing :)

Probably just used the design labs. It is a previous generation controller though.

theskyisfalling,

Yeh, it is unfortunstely a micro USB controller but it cost me £4 with a recharable battery pack inside so I’m not gonna complain at all. Just didn’t know where it had come from! Thanks for the reply :)

Are you sure it isn’t a custom designed one? It took 15 seconds to mock up basically the same thing here: …xbox.com/…/xbox-wireless-controller

Even the text is in the same place by default so I think this was just someone’s custom order

Lojcs, (edited )

That website was really tempting… until I remembered that these run on AA batteries and don’t have gyro or a touchpad. M$ really selling an 85$ controller without the features of the 50$ ps5 controller

Edit: apparently dualsense are 75$ now?? Wtf. and apparently they’ve never been 50$? Just discard my comment

thingsiplay,

that these run on AA batteries

Its actually a plus for me. I don’t want to use proprietary batteries and rather use standard AA sized (rechargable) batteries. They can be charged with any battery charger, you can have multiple of them and each pair lasts much longer than any builtin battery. I agree on the other parts for missing gyro and price though.

theskyisfalling,

Yeh this one cost me £4 and came with a recharchable battery pack. I’ve always used my controller wired (playing on PC) but now maybe I’ll try wireless!

thingsiplay,

If latency was an issue for you, I can assure that its not even for competitive gaming. I played years with friends Fighting games in a competitive manner (offline) and since 360 days it was wireless. And in general with modern controller and batteries, a pair lasts for me at least a week if no longer, when I play at least 5 hours per day. Can’t beat that! Replacement is also cheap. Good if you don’t want to rely on original batteries in the future.

theskyisfalling,

Nah I’ve never had issues with latency and don’t play anything competitive I’ve always just prefered wired to be honest. My favourite controllers were the wired 360 controllers that got rid of the massive bump at the back and were a really nice weight. I wish they did an official modern wired only version.

Megaman_EXE,

100%! I love controllers that use AA’s. So much easier to replace the batteries. I’m dreading the day I need to go hunt down replacement batteries for things like my DS, 3ds, Playstation controllers, etc. It’s probably not hard to find replacements. But it requires more work than just whipping out some rechargeable AA’s and calling it a day lol

Rai,

I think I paid 40USD for both of my Dualsense controllers, but both on a heady sale.

Megaman_EXE,

Yeah I was also surprised to hear ps5 controllers went up in price. It made me sad

theskyisfalling, (edited )

Thank you for the info, I just presumed it wasn’t custom as it looked too well done and I wasn’t aware of this service. Thanks so much for the reply!

CoffeeJunkie, do games w Corporate greed is killing RuneScape

I quit probably 11 years ago. IIRC they did some dumb stuff to cap trades, and I played out most of everything that was very cool & interesting, and they kept adding new stupid skills that I had absolutely no interest in doing. Like the hunting/trapping skill. But then they’d release sick new quests, with good rewards/perks, but to do them you’d have to extensively train up that yucky, boring, dumb “skill” that you would never use otherwise. If not for that quest.

They turned my play into work, and took the fun out of it, and eventually I was like why am I paying these people so I can grind away hours on dumb stuff that I don’t even like?? So I quit.

Buttflapper,

You know it’s so funny about the hunting skill that was really controversial? The people who actually did the skill did not enjoy it at all It was extremely tedious and frustrating, myself included. One of the worst skills and I’ve had no interest in doing it since. But it is by far the most botted skill in the game, pretty much everyone that I came across two years ago doing that skill when I still played, they were all bots. Like every single one of them. You could even mess them up just for fun by putting boxes around them so that you captured stuff and they would basically error out because the spot wasn’t working

CoffeeJunkie,

That is truly hilarious. Idk if I’d stoop to that, maybe I would, because fuck 'em. But I’d be a relatively “active” bot, if that makes sense. Just leave it run on a secondary screen, check it often. Maybe while surfing the web, or reading a book. I’d be there! But all this clicking & clacking, running around, tedious AF. Screw that, man. I’m not your monkey. I felt it was just disrespectful of our time, and I guess I wasn’t alone in thinking that.

Botting is dangerous, though, especially when you’ve got a powerful character worth a damn. I had a really good character, I wouldn’t ever want him getting banned. I put in too many good hours to get a ban.

That’s… the opposite of killing the game

ouch,

Inertia.

conciselyverbose, do gaming w Favourite puzzle platformers?

One random one that jumps to mind is a game I routinely see bundled on fanatical dirt cheap.

Ugly starts a little slow, and I think the writing is just weird, but the some of the puzzles are really cool, and there’s a good blend between pure puzzles and puzzles that require platformer execution.

I don’t know that I would have paid $20, and I paid less than the $7 it’s available for there now (it says for 10 hours), but I enjoyed what I played of it.

Knitwear,

Never heard of it, will have a look

shinratdr, do gaming w I can't enjoy Diablo anymore.
@shinratdr@lemmy.ca avatar

I did exactly that just a few weeks back. Played through D1 & D2R on Normal, once. Beat it, had a great time.

Started the next difficulty and gave up on the first quest. I know it’s not how they’re meant to be played, but I had fun.

Talaraine, (edited ) do gaming w Mechwarrior 5: Clans. It's wonderful. But I've hit a snag.

Hahah that's the EXACT mission I'm stuck on right now. Been watching videos and reviews that rave about the game but nobody talks about it.

For future searchers, the mission is called Disciplinary Action

RangerJosie,
@RangerJosie@lemmy.world avatar

Reviewers never made it that far.

Talaraine,

Found a couple references on Reddit this morning. Some are suggesting that you take a heavily modified TimberWolf just because the captured mechs are so fast, and to use different strats with your Star as a firing line just to take on the rest while you leg the targets.

I wasn't keen on modifiying the mechs as I'm not fond of the mech bay, but I guess if I wanna progress I'm gonna have to roll up my sleeves.

And apparently Executioners aren't the best mech in this sitch. Too many fights, too little ammo.

For myself I made it to the final battle a couple times, but just got wrecked in it. See if you can park your firing line in the water in various places, maybe mod them for ER large lasers and take advantage of the cooling.

RangerJosie,
@RangerJosie@lemmy.world avatar
Talaraine,

Let me know how you do!

RangerJosie,
@RangerJosie@lemmy.world avatar

I won. Somehow.

Played it real conservative. Held back. Used choke points. Positioned my star in water so they could go nuts without overheating.

Tried the same thing at the next cliff after the choice. Didn’t work out.

Talaraine,

Outstanding. My turn xD. Wish me luck.

Talaraine,

Success!

RangerJosie,
@RangerJosie@lemmy.world avatar

Congrats.

If I might offer some advise for what’s coming. Keep the play style that let you beat Disciplinary Action going. It’s gonna serve you well in missions to come.

And hit the Sim Pod for mech xp and to level up your star. Cuz you’re gonna need every edge you can get.
