DoucheBagMcSwag, do gaming w Does anyone play Final Fantasy XIV?

Fearless Orchid - Primal

Edit: absolutely love the Slayers reference. Please tell me your Lina is a Black Mage

Geodad,

I usually play black or red mage.

I love stealing LB3 and verblinding the party. 😈

DoucheBagMcSwag,

My black mage is not leveled very much. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Sorry.

LB3? Verblind?

Geodad,

Players have nicknamed the red mage LB3 (lv 3 limit break) “ver-blind” because it has a lot of bright flashes.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Ohhhhh I see… Yeah I just got Freeze hahahahah

I didn’t like it. I got it on sale and tried it. I just have muscle memory for Xbox style controllers and that didn’t give me any advantages that made it worth retraining.

Toes, do gaming w EA Connect. How do I get in contact with a real Human?? Need Support.

If you ever bought a game on steam that went to EA you might be able to use these buttons?

UndergroundGoblin,

Yes, but only functions with a 2FA Code EA sends to your email Address.

Toes,

ah bummer.

Does this page work for you?

UndergroundGoblin, (edited )

No. If you can’t access your email Address they are telling you that you have to contact your email provider. If you want to start a live chat, you need to log in.

Toes,

So I just tried this form. It’s not making you login to an account it’s just so they have somewhere to respond to your message it appears.

UndergroundGoblin,

I tried to use an email address which isn’t connected to EA but they want me to login to an EA Account anyways.

But I will try it again.

Mine hasn’t gotten much use lately because the steamdeck itself has indirectly usurped it but man I love my steam controller. It’s genuinely the best controller ever made for certain types of games. I find it very difficult to play FPS games without it (or the steamdeck) due to getting so used to gyro aiming with the capacitive touch sensors. My only real gripe with it is the subpar build quality. They’ve learned a lot since then in terms of hardware manufacturing so I can’t wait for them to put out a new steam controller.

dualpad,

My dream steam controller 2 would be the steam controller layout with the large circular concave touchpads in the top most position, better bumpers, two extra bumper buttons like the 8bitdo, 4 back buttons in total, alpakka quality gyro, and nice premium feeling material used for the shell.

But, they’ll go with the Steam Deck layout if there is one, which unfortunately has not been good for using touchpads as primary inputs for my hands. Which has me hording Steam Controllers, since it’ll likely be the only dual touchpad focused controller around. And hoping Alpakka comes out with a standalone gyro module I can stick on the Steam Controller to at least have the gyro component updated.

My sister still has a working one that she treats like a religious artifact, as it’s the best way to play mouse/KB games from the sofa.

I see why they discontinued them though. They need custom configs for most games, and I think most people don’t like that much tweaking.

gmtom, do games w The Steam controller was ahead of its time

No. The touch pads were fucking stupid and it needed 2 actual joysticks.

Any move towards less physical controls and feedback is bad.

brucethemoose,

With respect, this doesn’t make any sense. If you want a joystick controller, just buy an Xbox controller that everything’s compatible with anyway?

The trackpads shine when one needs to emulate a mouse/kb in non-controller games; a nightmare with joysticks.

gmtom,

Yeah thats kind of the point. It doesnt have 2 joysticks so I just buy an Xbox one instead. So it cant compete with the gold standard of crontrollers.

And you can say it has pursose in non controller games but its still worse than a traditional keyboard and mouse in that repect as well as a keyboard with an integrated trackpack.

So theres maybe a small niche of playing non controller games in situations where you dont have a desk and you dont want to use an integrated keyboard, where it does a bit better than the competition. Any other situation you have better options. Which IMO if its worse in most use cases and only a bit better than the competetion in designed niche, then its not really a good product.

brucethemoose,

Not everyone’s a big kb/mouse fan. My sister refuses to use one on the HTPC.

Hence I think that was its non-insignificant niche; couch usage. Portable keyboards are really awkward and clunky on laps, and the steam controller is way better and more ergonomic than an integrated trackpad.

Personally I think it was a smart business decision, because of this:

It doesnt have 2 joysticks so I just buy an Xbox one instead.

No one’s going to buy a steam-branded Xbox controller, but making it different does. And I think what killed it is that it wasn’t plug-and-play enough, eg it didn’t work out of the box with many games.

I would love to get ahold of one for my PC. I’m hesitant to buy a used one though. Maybe one day Valve will make more or even better, make a SC2. Until then my PS5 controller will continue to serve me well

@Apeman42@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the replies, folks. Sounds like it’s mostly pretty garbage, but the large amount of postgame bosses might be kind of fun if I turn off attractions. I do kinda want to try DDD for playing Riku, so I went ahead and got the package as the cheapest option that includes that.

If I still feel like playing 3 when I get there, it sounds like drinking my way through the Disney worlds may not be a bad idea.

kcweller,

The best solution, right there 👍

I’m currently doing a replay of the series and am in the middle of 3, and while 2 is definitely better in a lot of ways, I am still enjoying three, but it does have some issues. The difficulty is not to par, would be my biggest gripe, there really hasn’t been any level of challenge playing on proud mode, but the gameplay holds up in my opinion. The worlds are bigger and have a better layout than in 2, but the world stories are pretty lame for the most part and don’t really have anything to do with the plot, you’re just kind of there during the events of the movies for the most part, and a lot of times it’s just kind of “and Sora and the gang were there, too!”

If you haven’t played the side games to know the full story then things feel like a bit of a mess and they don’t really go over much from those games, which all have very important plot elements happening.

As a part of the whole story, I think it’s worth playing, but not really until near the end of the game. If you’re into the games for the combat mechanics then I’d say it’s worth it, I really like the gameplay. If you haven’t played the side games and are playing for the story then it’s going to be rough.

All in all, I enjoy it for a lot of reasons, though it has some issues, but that’s sort of the deal with all of the games. If you play Dream Drop Distance first I feel it adds a lot to KH3, but had I not played that first I’m not sure I would have enjoyed KH3 as much as I have, since it is a huge part of the story setup for what is happening in the third game, and if you go from KH2 directly to KH3 you’ll be missing a shit ton of what is going on with the story, why the power of waking is so relevant, and what happened with Sora and Riku’s mark of mastery exam.

So, not the best of the series, but I think it’s worth the time to play if you’re invested in the story or gameplay.

Edit: They also completely reworked the gummi ship stuff, in my opinion, for the better. You actually get to fly it around in space in an interactive world map deal that you can explore as it’s own thing, and you actually have to navigate to new worlds. It’s polarizing, and I can see why some wouldn’t like it, but I think it’s a huge improvement to that part of the games.

Well I’m glad someone likes it

tacosanonymous, do games w The Steam controller was ahead of its time

I honestly love the idea of it more than using it for most gaming. I’m going they make a new one that mirrors the layout of the Steam Deck a little more.

IdontplaytheTrombone, do games w So is Kingdom Hearts 3 _bad_ or just the normal cringe of Kingdom Hearts?

3 is unbelievably horrible.

HeyJoe, do games w The Steam controller was ahead of its time

I got mine way back when they were discounted to $5 bucks. I used it like once and wasn’t a fan. Plus, back then, I didn’t really play too many pc games. Funny enough, my friend texted me a few days ago and told me the controllers are becoming goldmines online now selling for $150-$200. It makes me want to find mine and sell it. I even have the box it came in still somewhere.

fushuan, (edited ) do games w The Steam controller was ahead of its time

Idk which model you got but mine did charge via usbc. It also broke so idk if I would prefer yours lol.

I also didn't mind not having a second stick, I got very used to using the trackpad to move the camera in games like dark souls, so much that I could turn it waaaay faster than with whatever stick and with way more precision. very important to mention, I did not put it in "controller mode" but in the "controller and mouse mode" where it took the trackpad input as mouse movement, which made it work flawlessly with swift movements. It's true that the controller mode was lackluster since swiping the trackpad repeated times to turn the camera felt bad. But eh, easily fixable option with an alternative superior to any other controller I've ever tried.

atomicpoet,

Yep, the key is to use mouse instead of joystick-mouse.
