I refuse to buy anything without hall effect sticks. So that’s limiting enough.

BlindFrog,

Which one(s) have you got? Do you like them?

Why the down votes? Seems like an innocent question.

Because they spam low effort posts trying to get attention. They rarely interact in their own posts, or show gratitude when people help them. They don’t actually want answers, only attention

You refuse to take constructive criticism, you lashed out at me, and you have no etiquette. I don’t know what else I can tell you. If everyone is the ass hole, maybe you should do some self reflecting

No worries man, I didn’t think you were being short anyway.

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

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@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.

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.

There is a tech difference with a DualSense controller that other controllers don’t have, and that’s the adaptive triggers. As far as I am aware, they’re the only ones with that. It’s a cool effect. Makes shooting in games feel more like handling a gun than vibration effects do.

Other than something like that, button layout is a choice. Parallel sticks or off-set sticks. Off center buttons. The way the D-pad functions (rolling style like Xbox or just 4 buttons like PlayStation). Etc.

Wrufieotnak,

But is that feature available outside PS5 on a PC?

IsThisAnAI,

Yes. On Sony games.

Yes.

With the release of the Dark Souls 2 Lighting Engine mod, I’ve been motivated to pick that game back up again. I played DS2 for the first time about a year ago, got maybe a third through, and then kind of fell off. It’s fun to be back in Drangleic! Last time I was rolling a Paladin-type character with Faith and melee weapons, this time I’m interested in making a huge-sword type build and pivoting to hexes in the later game. The lighting mod also let’s you mod in HDR if your monitor is capable, and boy howdy does it look incredible with the improved lighting and HDR 🤩

Edit: here’s some screenshots i took capturing how bright Majula is, and capturing the added shadows.

As others have said, it does set you free eventually. Takes too long IMO. The world is really nice and beautiful. I never got totally on board with the control scheme and UI.

It’s fun to fire up every now and then and check out what’s new. I mostly play indie games, deckbuilders, etc., so I don’t care about graphics so much.

I will say they did monetization right - free to play with absolutely no pay to win elements.

I am not a fan of the genre. But a friend I met playing EverQuest back in 99 started to play it because his 6 year old son wanted to play, so I started playing. I enjoyed playing with them, then my own son started to play with us too.

Were this not the case, I would never have played. My friend died in ‘22 and I mostly stopped playing. His son still calls me to play. But other than that I play other games.

If you like the genre, it is a good game. You can play 100% for free unless you needs skins (there are a number you get for free)

in terms of graphics.

Lots of games don’t give a F about graphics. Especially competitive shooters.

thericofactor,

Friend of mine played enemy territory competitively. They turned the graphics all the way down so grass and smoke didn’t get in the way of their field of vision.

Any free online game is gonna be ruined by its community. Do yourself a favour and look for a game you actually like and pay for it.

You should try the other subreddit, RS3 players are more than happy to pull out the pitchforks.

wizardbeard,

OSRS players are too busy trying to optimize everything down to the game tick.

We’ve been through a lot.

This was the final straw for me. Asking for feedback about MTX and then leveraging that to raise prices. Even if that’s not what they did, their timing is beyond stupid.

Renacles,

Not to mention how bad the last 2 years of content have been.

The new roadmap looks great but I want to see it implemented before I believe any of it is real, especially after how unfinished the newest boss is.

As you should, they’ve let players down many many times before (myself included) making promises for things to come that never happen. A prime example is the player owned house rework that was promised in one of the original Rune Fests.

The tick rate improvements and client side prediction they demoed … they said they may never happen; however, let’s face it, they could happen they’re just unwilling to commit to hiring the developers that would be needed to make that happen.

Renacles,

The player avatar rework!
