CubitOom, do gaming w A Lego game about building with Legos, not a world with Legos in it? Yes please

I’ve played this a lot with my daughter and while it has some great moments, the actual Lego building in this game is really wonky with a controller. It’s a bit easier with a keyboard and mouse bit it’s still leaves something to be desired.

The rest of the game is great though.

Telorand,

Similar experience. The building doesn’t feel as nice as you’d expect, and it’s often more satisfying in traditional Lego games. Still, the overall gameplay is a unique divergence from their usual game design.

Kinda off topic, but since a lot of people are talking about gaming on linux: can you get DS4Windows to run on linux? Being able to utilise the touchpad of my DS5 controller as a mouse was a game-changer for me, and i dont want to give that up if I dont have to when i do the full switch to linux

mox,

DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers have official drivers built-in to the linux kernel, including support for the touchpad and motion controls. You probably don’t need something like DS4Windows.

tuckerm,

And if you do run into any problems, the Steam overlay should solve any compatibility problems, if you're OK with launching your games through Steam. I end up doing that with all of my games (including the ones I didn't buy on Steam) since I think its controller mapping UI is the best.

mox,

Just to clarify: Steam Input is the component you’re describing.

Katana314,

So instead of DS4Windows4Linux, just DS4Linux. Makes sense.

mox,

ds4linux exists, but is unnecessary in most common cases.

ipkpjersi,

Weirdly enough, I could never get my DS4/PS4 controller working on Linux, at least through Bluetooth. The device never shows up in the device list. My Xbox Series X and Xbox One X controllers work perfectly with Bluetooth thanks to xpadneo, and I can use my DS4/PS4 controller wired with or without ds4drv, but I just can’t get it to work wirelessly.

mox,

That is strange. It works great for me. All I had to do was pair it.

I have read that some computers have bluetooth modules that don’t play well with it, though. Maybe you have one of those, or an old kernel?

ipkpjersi,

I’m on Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 6.5.0-41-generic so it shouldn’t be that. Maybe my Bluetooth adapter isn’t that great but it’s a TP-Link UB400 so it’s not exactly a low quality Bluetooth adapter either.

mox,

I think that kernel version should handle it, as long as the hid-sony or hid-playstation module is being loaded. (Some 6.7 and early 6.8 kernels had a relevant bug, though.)

It’s hard to say regarding the bluetooth adapter. The branding and price don’t matter; my cheap old no-name dongle worked great. It’s really about whether the parts used inside happen to play well with the other device.

Another thought: Is it possible you have the old version of the DS4, rather than the DS4 v2? If I remember correctly, the light bar is visible through the touchpad only on the v2.

ipkpjersi,

I actually have two PS4 controllers, one older one and one with the light bar. Both of them are unable to connect via Bluetooth.

I don’t have hid_sony or hid_playstation loaded, I tried manually loading them and I think that works but: i.imgur.com/VHbtW5l.png even though they show as loaded, I still experience the same problem: i.imgur.com/Z42WtKr.png I only have a bunch of unnamed devices when searching for new devices to connect to/pair with, and I can’t pair with any of them. My headphones and Xbox Series X controller work perfectly.

mox,

Do you know why both hid_sony and hid_playstation are loaded? Only one is needed. The latter replaces the former, IIRC.

It loads automatically on my system once I power up the (already paired) DS4. You did pair yours with your computer, right?

I also wonder if any of the device names in your bluetooth list would be more friendly if you installed the steam-devices package.

ipkpjersi,

They are both loaded because I tried manually loading just one, and then it didn’t help, so then I tried the other.

I can’t pair mine with my computer, it doesn’t even show up in the device list. The modules do not show up unless I manually load them.

I already have steam-devices installed.

I really don’t feel like I am doing anything wrong, but maybe I am.

okamiueru,

I’ve used both PS4 and Ps5 controllers. You don’t need to do anything except to plug it in.

I’ve only had issues in one game (Minishoot Adventures), where the solution was to disable controller support layer that steam comes with.

I haven’t tried Bluetooth, as I don’t mind the cable.

Oooh, finally a sale on the Shadow Gambit DLC. Time to get both, I heard a lot that while Yuki is of course the “cooler” DLC since well, it’s Yuki, the other one is mechanically smarter as the new unit is overpowered but also quite different.

On that note, cannot recommend Shadow Gambit enough. It’s the perfection of the Commandos / Shadow Tactics / Desperados formula.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I thought it was the worst one of those, but it was still a good game.

Remember that GOG subscribes you to all their marketing bullshit when you claim a free game, so just a reminder to go to your gog account settings and disable all that shit.

Seems to region locked. There isn't a word about the game being given away, unless I log out of my account and use a VPN.
What even is the point of region-locking a fucking giveaway?

Edit: well, at least changing the region in the settings works. I guess it defaults to whatever country it thinks the IP the account was registered from belongs to?

Flatout is one of my favourites and has an awesome soundtrack. Also was one of my first PC games and didn’t realise that was 20 years ago.

I really like the pixel art in this game. It doesn't pop in screen shots, but in motion I think it does a really good job executing the style they chose.

I think I’ll patient gamer this one until it is on sale at GOG.

SolidShake,

It’s 100% worth full price

JoMiran,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

OK, but it isn’t available on GOG until March 28th and I never buy games on release.

11111one11111,

But this is a contract thing between steam and game studio, or at least I assume. The only thing different is the launcher. The content of the game is going to be the same as the one that’s been out on steam. It’s not like its a console vs PC delayed release where the game is made for different platforms. If you bought it March 28th itd be the same as not buying rhe steam game on its release date and waiting a couple months to get it end of March.

I’m more asking if my understanding is correct to the general audience, sounds like im lecturing but more walking thru the bases to see if im missing something.

I mean I owned fo4 on steam, bought folon on gog and had no problem playing them together so its all the same exact game codes after it launches, right?

deadbeef79000, do games w The System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster pages are on GOG & Steam

Oh yeah.

The night dive remake of System Shock was awesome.

I played the original as a kid and it was just too hard. I also played SS2 and completed that: my gods that was a terrifying game.

I can’t wait.

Breadhax0r,

Lol right? I bounced off ss2 a couple times because it was too scary for younger me. A few years later I got the itch to give it another go, but I had to downgrade my graphics drivers to get it to run on my system so I forced myself to finish it that time lol

deadbeef79000,

Those damned monkeys…

You’re creeping around in the dark, already on a knife edge… oooh oooh aaah.

I bought a bunch of indie games that looked cool: Alwa’s Legacy (I’m playing it right now, it’s pretty fun), Night in the woods and Phoenotopia: Awakening. I also bought Dishonored (which I played back in the days, but I’m eager to replay one of these days, alongside its DLCs).

Risky purchase of the week: King of Dragon Pass. Never heard of it, but the reviews were positive and the screens look interesting, so I decided, why not.

I also really, really wanted to buy I was a teenage exocolonist, because it’s one of my favourite games from 2022, but the GoG version still hasn’t been updated to the recent patch, and seems like it never will. Shame.

EDIT July 2024: I mailed the publisher to ask them if they were willing to update the GoG release of their game, and they immediately went and did it! You can add I was a teenage exocolonist to my GoG recommendation list. It’s a great game that really deserves your time.
