atro_city, do games w Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?

We need a new way to symbolise a good game like QQQ for Quality Quality Quality or something. AAA just means unfinished mess that cost a lot which you pay extra for.

Ephera,

The closest approximation we currently have (and likely will ever have) are game ratings…

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

Didn’t a Japanese company make a controller with native steam input? Is that controller any good? The thing with 8bitdo and the like is you can’t map back paddles to unique inputs via steam and they only can duplicate face buttons by programming the controller iirc.

I have a gulikit kk3, but I don’t love the dongle and don’t love the lack of native steam controller configuration for back paddles. Other than that, the hardware has been good for me.

iz_ok,

8BitDo Pro 2 is one of the best controllers I’ve tried.

  • PlayStation Analog Stick Placement
  • New version has hall effect sticks.
  • Compatible with everything.
  • They offer replacement parts.
  • Decent battery life.
Copernican,

I’m not a PS layout kind of person. I looked at the more Xbox designed ones, but don’t folks say the ergonomics aren’t great? They have yours wrists or hands almost at parallel angles instead of a more open position based on the grip design? I almost went

Aeryn,

You’re exactly right, it’s uncomfortable to keep my hands in that position. The whole 8bitdo controller feels cheap, imo.

Unboxious,

Their support sucks though. I had one of their controllers die on me after only 8 months of moderate use and after a way-too-long back and forth they demanded $15 to send me a new controller. Eventually we settled on $5, which is still $5 more than it should have been.

ByteOnBikes,

When I was looking, 8bitdo seemed like a major recommendation online in all the forums. You’re like the first person that recommended it in real time.

RonnieB,

Unless they upgraded them recently, the triggers feel awful and cheap

Hori just made one but I think it’s Japan only and I don’t think it has back buttons. The KK3 is my current favorite. You don’t have to use the dongle. Bluetooth and wired work as well but Bluetooth is slow compared to the dongle.

It does have back buttons, which is why it’s unlikely to launch in the west as Scuf (owned by Corsair) is a major patent troll when it comes to those. That’s also the reason for the original Steam controller no longer being released.

The Hori one is launching at the end of this month, if I recall correctly. I might look into importing it once it does.

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.

It was better when it was co-op against AI zombies.

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

Is you need one with a track pad get a dualsense, otherwise 8bitdo all the way. Best third party controllers I’ve ever used.

Dariusmiles2123, do games w How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?

I love the ps5 controller but I’m now kind of scared about stick drift as one of mine had to be replaced because of it.

The second one doesn’t show any sign of this happening, but I’m not so confident anymore although Sony had never disappointed me before regarding reliability.

Tetsuo,

While I don’t have stick drift or very little after 2 years with a dual sense :

The triggers are both very mushy after extended use in rocket league.

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

Like others said, driver support for console controllers is pretty good through the board.

My suggestion: try them out, maybe in a local store on their demo stations (pretty regular around here at least) or by ordering and returning the one you don’t like.

I personally like the controller layout of the XBox controller more than the PlayStation one. But it comes down to preference. So definitely test drive to find the best suit for you.

Rather the opposite. I didn’t like the game

I bought 7 Days to Die about a week ago and put it on my Steamdeck right before a transcontinental flight, and since I started it on that flight, I haven’t played much of anything else.

I don’t know why but it’s kind of perfect for me right now, right between Ark and Project Zomboid and I feel like I have a lot of control over the pace of the game. Its nice.

I’m 40 hours into Persona 3 Reload. This is my first Persona game, and I’m enjoying it a lot. It was recommended to me after I got deeply into the two most recent Like a Dragon games, which I enjoyed immensely.

I’m having a good time with Persona 3 too. I’m playing it on easy and just enjoying the experience. I think I would have burned out on it about 20 hours ago if I was playing on a higher difficulty level and getting my ass beat in every boss fight. I wasn’t sure I would be into it with the high school setting, but that turned out to not be an issue.

I fully intend on playing it as far as rolling credits.

Took me about 5 hours to get through the winter intro story that is linear before it gets to being the open world. Not sure if that was slow or not, but it was a bit longer than I would have preferred.

I’ve been wanting a game like this for years!! As soon as Pokemon Go came out I thought it would be awesome to have a similar game that was offline or less Network dependent that modern AR games.
Like you level up and gain experience by walking around but you don’t have to live in a city or busy area to play. You don’t have to have the social element of say Pokemon Go or Wizards Unite to play and have fun.
The entire point is to have a game that ties the fun elements of gaming with the real world effects of exercise!
Thank you for this I’m excited to keep up with the progress 🙂

schamppu,

Thank you so much for the write up! Glad you like it the concept, and I hope you’ll enjoy the game as well ❤️

I’d love to buy the game if it was free software. What license does it use? I can’t find one on the site so I’m assuming it’s an all-rights-reserved situation.

schamppu,

It’s not really viable to run a game studio with developers and artists who work full time to create free games. I wish it was

Emerald,

It’s not really viable to run a game studio with developers and artists who work full time to create free games.

I’m not asking for people to make their games free as in price, but rather free-as-in-freedom. Osu for instance is an open source game and they’re thriving. So it is possible to do so.

I got in a week or so ago and immediately started walking a ton more than usual. It was also great timing because I’m in Paris at the moment, so I’m walking so much every day and leveling up like crazy as a result.

schamppu,

Awesome to hear, glad you’r enjoying the game ❤️

ladicius, do games w What are your opionions on fortnite?

It’s fun and it’s free.

Don’t give a damn about communities and YouTubers and what other people think - that will never help you with anything, ever. Simply check out if you like the game by yourself.
