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

I recommend going to a pawn shop. They likely have a variety of late model controllers. You can then hold them and see which speaks to you. I bought a ps5 controller from a pawn shop for like $50 over a year ago and I’ve loved it. I use it over Bluetooth with steam and I get rumble and all that.

xbox series controller is my fave controller and works flawless with linux

YerbaYerba,

I use an Xbox controller with Linux. Only issue I ran into was a firmware update for the controller before it would work with Linux. I had to do the firmware upgrade through a Windows VM.

Never buy a PS4/5 or switch controller they are all overpriced garbage they intentionally make for ewaste landfills in 2-4 years.

I really like my gulikit king Kong 2 and they made a elite controller style one with the 3rd version so I’d recommend that. They’re hall effect joysticks which feel real nice and are easy to repair and customize.

Summzashi,

Using my dual shock 4 controller since 2013 on PC but sure buddy

giantofthenorth,

You’re right, Im attacking you directly

Summzashi,

Bullshit is bullshit.

It seems you wanted to post a link but posted an image instead.

flameguy21,

Oh cool lol. I thought that it would post the thumbnail AND the link. Here’s the video.

Indie game studios still make them. So does Nintendo. They didn’t die. It’s just AAA game studios turned their budget to making blockbuster level games with shit tonnes of micro transactions in order to make more money because unfortunately they make more money and are generally more popular.

flameguy21,

half the video is basically just “holy shit you people need to play more video games they’re not dead indie games are peak”

I was debating buying an official Xbox controller with back buttons/paddles, but the price of the pro controller + quality issues were a turn off.

Ended up picking up a Flydigi Vader 3 pro and I’ve loved it, especially since I got it on sale up for <$50.

thesink05,

I recommend this one too. Has hall effect joysticks as well as tons of buttons. If you get ReWASD then you can do some crazy mapping.

I’m stupid and don’t know how to use Lemmy. Here’s the video.

I game on PC every day, and I always use a controller. I’ve tried many different controllers over the years, and most of them have had issues right out of the box. Only one controller has been perfect. The razer wolverine v2.

<a href="" rel="nofollow">https://www.razer.com/ca-en/console-controllers/razer-wolverine-v2</a>

It is super well built, and has a nice heavy feel that feels great if your hands are slightly larger than average. The thumb sticks are very grippy, have uniform resistance in every direction so you can be super accurate, and have zero stick drift after years of intense gaming. The face buttons have a mouse click feel to them, which I love. I always hated the face buttons on other controllers, including the genuine Xbox Controller, because they felt mushy and have inconsistent press and release.

I’ve tried 8bitdo, they felt cheap and uncomfortable. I’ve tried the Xbox Elite Controller, but it had tons of quality issues. I haven’t tried Scuf, so I can’t comment on that. But this razer controller is by far the best. Once you’ve used these clicky face buttons, you’ll never want to go back to a normal controller.

I highly highly highly recommend it. The only downside is that it’s wired, but they have a more expensive version that is wireless.

Just started Summon Night: Swordcraft Story. So far I'm enjoying trying out all the different kinds of weapons and picking up hints about the game's unique worldbuilding. Now that I'm out of the tutorial section, I'm looking forward to seeing the story pick up and hoping to find a little more variety in the design of the upcoming dungeon levels.

I’d barely say they died. Doom Eternal is full of platforming, something a lot of reviewers winged about, and there are big undies like little kitty big city that fit the bill nicely, as well as the remake of SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom

Fiivemacs, do games w Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2?

Lol story. If GTA5 was anything to reference then gta6 won’t have a story and you’ll be forced to buy sharlcards before the game even gets released.

I found gta5 story boring, and rdr even worse. Nothing about both games could keep me interested. They lost a fan who’s been playing since Grand Theft Auto was released, not like they care though.

jewbacca117, do games w Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2?

Honestly found the rdr2 story forgettable, had a lot of fun with the individual missions though. I dont expect a great story from gta6, just a massive open world with lots of stuff going on.

I think it’d be safe to expect a very well crafted depiction of Florida. A lively sandbox just brimming with weird shit.

jewbacca117,

This is what Im excited for. Can’t wait to explore

@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

For sure. It’ll leave the likes of 2077 and Starfield in the dust, and it’ll be performant without the need of TAA or other patchwork bullshit.

I’d be curious if they stick to Vulkan on PC since RDR2 later defaulted to it.

Psychonauts 2 came out in 2022 and it’s a 3D platformer to the core.

My current focus:

  • hall effect sensor to avoid stick drift
  • i prefer the xbox layout for sticks
  • abxy button layout, because not all pc games support ps buttons
  • cabel, cuz lighter and no sudden loss of input

Honestly no I don’t. Red dead 2 was amazing but I would love to be wrong.
