Ugly In The Morning posted:The problem is that it breaks the plug-and-play stuff for a lot of games with controllers in a way that’s really hidden and not intuitive. It’s cool that they have settings like that but they should be something you turn on yourself if you’re going to use them. I agree with you there. Some game don't know how to handle it and they pick up both KB/ M and controller inputs.

Grim Dawn has a lot of the great "epic journey" feel that Titan Quest did but one of the consequences is that logical scale just doesn't exist. There will come a time when you are asked to visit a nearby farm, and several hours later you will realize the questgiver just does not understand what words mean.

FutureCop posted:It was a while ago but the same thing happened to me. I think it had something to do with Steam Big Picture or whatever they call it selecting a default controller layout which wasn't good and used the right joystick as a 'mouse' instead of a 'move', if I recall correctly. Try going into steam big picture and either tweak the controller setup or change the controller profile it loads to something else. Thanks! For some reason I needed to access the Steam overlay in-game and change controller settings from there, the dark souls 3 preset (which did have tight stick assigned to mouse for some ungodly reason) was overriding the global controller config in steam settings. Works great now though.

It's a marketing strategy to pull sales from Steam that gives them a lot of leeway to refuse refunds. People that just want to play games and not pay can already easily pirate DRM free GOG games.

Just try it for a week, see how it works for me. I can always send it back if it doesn't fit me. No prob. If you end up getting something other than the Logi (I hear Anker's $20 special isn't bad, for example) I'd like to hear about it. My wrist is very slightly annoyed about using a trackball at work, now that I've tried a vertical mouse!

StrixNebulosa posted:Wasteland Remastered is out, and looks like a cool version of an old game. Reviews are good, but it's mixed because???? Probably because just like Bards Tale, they throw a fresh coat of paint over top of nostalgia. Wasteland is notorious for being overly bad about menu selection for the slightest character action or inventory management and they didn't address that for babby gamers of today. It plays just fine, if you know you're playing a 30 year old game with said fresh paint. It's classic RPG right down to the interface with super emphasis on story. It's aged but enjoyable if that's what you want. I just finished Might and Magic 1 - 9 after many months. A Wasteland remaster is heaven compared to MM 1 - 5.

I bought a pair of Anker true wireless headphones just recently and for under fifty dollars, they are some of the best I've owned yet. If you feel like experimenting, you can probably do worse.

So, Anthem is $9 on the Humble Store. I know it's not great and my understanding is that it's very over-mmo-ized, but $9 to me is the level of "can it be fun for 10 hours?" I just want to fly around and shoot things. I really enjoy ME3 multiplayer and Destiny 2, would I find it fun at all or is it just a total dud?

OutOfPrint posted:I love the Skautfold games on paper more than in practice, but they're all definitely worth a play, particularly because they're all different genres. Shrouded In Sanity plays like Dark Souls meets Streets of Rage, and Into the Fray is a twin stick shooter. The story solid and original in the Dresden Files way of "how did no one make this before." I'm pretty sure it's a one man dev team, too, which makes the games, and the frequency they come out, really impressive. The fourth game is currently in early access.

I got it for free with my graphics card and enjoyed it for what it was, but yeah it's not a great game. I think you'd easily get $9 worth of fun out of it, even just by doing all the solo stuff. The loot is dull for the most part, but I had fun just zipping around and trying to hit all the watery bits to cool the suit and keep flying.

I played a few minutes of Anthem via an EA Access trial and had I spent any amount of money on it, I would have felt ripped off. "Greetings, (common noun so we don't have to give you an actual voiced name or any voiced naming options)" in particular is a minor annoyance but a thing that Bioware needed to stop doing like three games ago.

It's such a bummer when a game has artists that are obviously putting in a ton of work and doing an incredible job, and the designers can't come up with anything more than "I dunno, you shoot things to get guns with bigger numbers?"

They also have a free companion game to STASIS called CAYNE, if you want a taste right now. I didn’t care for it but it could be worth a try.
