buddy you are probably playing the same genre you hate (beat em ups i bet) and wondering why you hate the games. try playing something different like that windjammers or street fighter 3 or r-type or magic sword or those weird arcade puzzle games.

I gave fortnite a go when it first came out and then what sounded like a 10 year old squeeked at me for either killing them or leaving them to die and I uninstalled shortly after. I can’t imagine what it’s like now that it’s a certified Children’s Game

when team fortress 2 went free to play I got called the n word and a cheater by a squeaker for playing spy and disappearing.

After banging my head on this for an hour last night launching Charge grenades at the fucker over and over, switched to the Pierce railgun with level 2 upgrades plus an 'Aiming' multiplier and a 'Headshot' multiplier, literally second attempt dead & done in about a minute.

oops, i bought JYDGE on NMN's reccomendation thinking from the screenshots it was a syndicate type game. i suck at hotline miami style games and am getting loving owned in it.

maybe i'll persevere at it, is it the gameplay or the aesthetic that people dig?

not a dig at you NMN, it was a good deal you posted, and even if i just install them all and pretty much immediately say 'nah, not for me', it's still pretty cool you can try out so many games for so little now.

i dont use wasd (cause im not a scrub) so i rebound everything anyway and it works fine for movement, but there are some oddities with some of the tool controls. the game doesnt have scroll wheel tool switch like you'd expect which is annoying, but then there are other wierd things like the cutter has 3 modes (precise, wide cut vertical, wide cut horizontal) and instead of just having a button to switch between those 3 modes you have to hit the weapon bind button to switch between precise and widecut and then once it wide cut you can use a different key to switch between vertical and horizontal.

i think its the kind of thing that gets cleaned up as more people play and it works its way thru early access player input.

lol I have a level III 'Charge' missile launcher gun now in CONTROL and with a 50%+ damage mod and two 60% blast radius mods attached it makes 90% of bad guys trivial, no worrying about joypad accuracy now you can lob a missile somewhere in the vicinity and score kills every time. OK you only get three shots before ducking for cover or hurling a rock with your psi-powers, but it's rare you need any more than that :o:

Reading online everyone else is big on the Shatter shotgun or Pierce railgun weapons, I'm just here totally wrecking the fabulous architecture and decor with wanton destruction :cool:

oh yeah I found a secret area right up the top of the big central atrium you have to levitate over to and when you grab the pickup it spawns like eight LVL9 mold-men behind you, I opened up with all three Charge shots and blew off half my health as well as killing all eight bads. It's a good thing they dropped a snowstorm of blue health crystals :o:

Also I've seen a few references in CONTROL collectibles to ALAN WAKE, which I have not played - if I'm liking this should I look into AW?

yeah, the tool management was what got me. the positioning wasnt bad since i play nms and dabbled with elite: dangerous so reorienting felt okay, but toggling tools felt a bit too much like work

that's a good point, too. since its early access i should check and see what the community is saying. maybe there's a discussion on ux refinement that would be worth following

I like grabbing rocks and office items and tossing them, then starting a 1-by-1 enemy grab and toss. there's so many satisfying ways to play

oh and the reload animations on the service weapon are great, too, while we're talking about this game and its style

alan wake is good but has less diversity of setting and action than control, you spend the majority of the game in a spooky forest killing ghosts with a flashlight. it also has some prominent product placement which made people Real Mad back in the day

the second control dlc is effectively a sequel to alan wake, though, so playing it first will probably make it easier to understand and appreciate and pick up references

playing Return of the Obra Dinn. it's a very well done detective game with a unique visual style. it does not depend on the visual style to carry it thankfully.

you should give it a shot. it's really well made.
