Especially with anything related to an overlay on top of a game (e.g , changing volume via keyboard pops up an overlay which then stutters the video signal. ) No, Nvidia. It's really bizarre, as soon as I launch Steam it kills the signal to the monitor, wtf?

Bloodplay it again posted:I can't think about the Elite controllers without thinking about the goon who made a post in coupons saying they were on sale for $120 and when I commented about its high price, I was told I should try to design and develop controllers for less than that. Me, a guy with an R&D team and Foxconn contacts to get them produced. You could buy an okay HOTAS or racing setup for the price of one overpriced xbox controller. Mid tier RC aircraft transmitters have way better build quality with a programmable computer and a display inside them at slightly higher price than Elite controller. How is this possible I have no idea.

Bloodplay it again posted:Controller talk So, what's the go-to controller for pc then? I'm legit asking, I love the bone controller but I already broke the left thumb in one and I'm starting to suspect the A button in the one I got to replace that one is eating inputs from time to time. I used a ps4 controller for a while between those two, but I never could get it to play 100% nice with everything. I mean, I never had it outright not work, but it would always take a bit of fiddling depending if the game had native support for DS4, if I was playing through Steam, and if DS4Windows was running. Bluetooth was also sketchy but that's probably on me, I also usually play with the controller plugged, so. It's a really good controller, it loses out to the bone in sheer "just plug it in" value.

Bloodplay it again posted:While you're totally right about the PS4 controller battery being garbage, the Xbone controllers have been dropping in quality since release. I get 300 or so hours of use until at least one button has issues. Right now, I have two Bone controllers less than a year old that have faulty A buttons. One has squeaky analog triggers too. 100 presses might register as 90 or they might register as many as 130. They also happen to be the only product in the US somehow only covered by a 90-day warranty instead of the default year so good luck getting them replaced! I still have a perfect functional (button wise, cable is broken but works fine with some tape) wired 360 controller. Wireless 360 stick broke like a week after buying, couldn't zero anymore. 1 of 2 new Xone controllers RB1 stopped registering input reliable after around 3 weeks. Quality really is annoying for wireless at least.

its sad that the xbone controllers have build issues since the 360 wired controllers were nearly perfect. The wire on my ~14 year old 360 controller is having connection problems and would randomly disconnect during games even though it was still plugged in so I was looking to get the whole controller replaced. Much to my surprise, there were tons of reviews mentioning that the Xbone controllers would crap out after only a few months of use. Now, i kinda dont know what to do. One of my friends actually got me a RockCandy 360 controller, which is perfect except that it does not have rumble. Thinking i might just stick with that and hope that the Series X controllers arent a total crapshoot

I'm legit asking, I love the bone controller but I already broke the left thumb in one and I'm starting to suspect the A button in the one I got to replace that one is eating inputs from time to time. Probably a new, wired 360 controller even though the d-pad is bad, as others pointed out. I used the same controller for about a decade but have gone through three xbox one controllers since Feb 2015. I've never really liked Dual Shocks and the awful DS4 battery life would remove it from contention anyway. You need a goofy adapter to use 360 controllers wirelessly. I live in a packed apartment building where everyone has 50 wireless devices operating at 2.4 GHz so wireless isn't an option in my case. I can be sitting 4 feet from my computer and it still loses connection constantly. The first Elite controller didn't have bluetooth ($150, btw) and the newer one seems to share most of the issues with the $50 controllers in terms of broken buttons in addition to an even heftier price tag of $180. No one needs to be competitive with their controllers anymore so they're gonna continue to be overpriced and low quality. I wouldn't count on PS5 or 2020 Xbox controllers to improve over current offerings. Both of Nintendo's current controllers have issues but maybe they can put together a better Pro controller for release alongside the new Switch later this year.

I have all three revisions of the xbox one controller at this point (bought the 1st ver, 3.5 jack version came with a rift, bought the BT ver 3 as a mobile controller) and they all work fine without any issues..Am I just not playing the right controller destroying genres?

Gobbeldygook posted:Wait, that big button in the middle of the dualshock is a trackpad? I thought it was just a weird big button. The vast majority of games made for PS4 just use it as two more buttons since it can click in to either side as two more buttons. There were a few things near the start of the PS4's lifespan that tried to do more with it but it was quickly realized to be a pointless gimmick. I guess if you wanted to hurt yourself DS4Windows picks it up as your mouse?

The last act transition of Origins is hilarious. After hours of Natural Born Killers loving their way through revenge murders and accidentally helping people, the story throws a sea battle, a Julius Caesar, two elephants, a chariot chase, and a poo poo ton of historical references at you in the span of one-two hours. And those loving faces

It used to work good over Bluetooth but has recently been making GBS threads the bed with latency and double-inputs (even when I turn steam innate off and use DS4 or visa-versa). which sucks because I like using BT instead of a cable. maybe it's time to look into a new BT controller

I'm a total sucker for a good quality pad and over the years have spent a pretty £ or two on different ones. The Elite 2 is a great controller but I totally understand how the internal battery issue and the lottery on build quality plus ludacris pricing would make it a no go for many punters. However one controller that I totally love is the Razer Ultimate Wolverine - yes it is wired and is just as expensive as the Elite 2 and comes with gawdy RGB lighting but it just feels right - the paddles are more like on a scuff and are discretely at the back and can be ignored if you wish or used as needed with no magnetic gimmick. The sticks have better tension than standard controllers and the buttons are based on Razer mechanical keyboards and have a very tactile feel (which may put some ppl off). I know Razer....blah blah blah but if you get a chance to try one of these I don't think you'll be disappointed. P.S I am aware of how many cheesburges I could buy for the price of this controller.... it is most definitely an indulgent-lie-to-the-SO-about-the-real-price purchase.

Bloodplay it again posted:Nintendo, the company who invented the d-pad, sells a controller for $70 with a broken d-pad. Screw these expensive pieces of junk. Madcatz quality, first-party price. Best thing about it is that apparently the special edition ones have a better d-pad. Nintendo has made some odd decisions with stuff like that and the joycon d-buttons and whatever is causing the stick drift issues. Edmond Dantes posted:So, what's the go-to controller for pc then? I'm legit asking, I love the bone controller but I already broke the left thumb in one and I'm starting to suspect the A button in the one I got to replace that one is eating inputs from time to time. The Logitech F310 is perfectly fine if you just need a basic controller but is cheap, wired, doesn't have rumble, and has a awful d-pad to rival the 360. After they bought out MadCatz I kinda expected them to do a "F310 Pro" refresh of the design but I guess not. For other third party controllers that are affordable I've heard that Hori controllers are good, and that the 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro+ is also good. The Steam controller is well... the Linux of game controllers, as powerful as your time is worthless. Potentially it has great utility but IME you need to spend some time tweaking things even after getting a community profile. Build quality is sub-Logitech, feels a bit cheap and rattley and I'd have been annoyed if I paid full price. It feels a little odd to use due to the concave nature of the trackpads. However it's been discontinued and despite patents for a revision Valve hasn't announced anything new, maybe after the Index has been out for a while.

I got this one a few months ago and I love it, though I'm holding off on really raving about it because I've heard some people have the buttons stick on it after awhile. Big highlight for me is that they recreated the SNES d-pad on it, which feels just as great as I remember. By the way, there are some actual decent Weeklong Deals this week! Big highlights for me are Eastshade, Yuppie Psycho, and the Rusty Lake series (since a new one just released), but there's a ton of good adventures of all kinds discounted right now. I've got a list of recs if you want to save yourself some time.

I'm just glad the actual game is 90% being an ancient Egyptian cop doing ancient Egyptian cop business and the occassional political murder and 10% the dumb ancient aliens metaplot. e: I am currently playing Odyssey and boy does it double down on the magic stuff. Only one mandatory modern world sequence so far, though, so that's good. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jan 13, 2020 |

It is very important to note that sometimes in Eastshade, an NPC will ask you to paint them a picture to hang in their house, and then THEY DO IT. They put the picture in their house.

The difficulty spikes aren't too bad - I death spiraled twice I think, including the first play through where I was just loligagging day 1, because gently caress it I can just buy food I know how games work. But if you just accept some folks are gonna die the stress becomes tolerable and engaging. I got to the end without the deal, although quite a few kiddos died, I didn't build up any schmowders and wasted them on guys that were infected and out of the way to save time running to give them medicine. I also didn't upgrade my brewery enough to output enough serums in time. Also lossed Bad Grief really, really early to some terrible luck. I might give it another go and plan for all of the kids getting infected automatically. I Loved this game and really sad there's some doubt about getting the other two full playthroughs. I'd love to go through again and see the other characters points of view.
