Sniper Elite 5 is cool, I thought it would be a long range sniping game but really its more like going loud in Hitman or the later Splinter Cells (I guess you could stealth too but that seems miserable)

The gameplay is decent enough but there's something wrong where the game feels like it's running at 15 FPS when it's running at 80, and also there's mouse smoothing that kind of made me sick. For free it's worth a shot if you think you might like it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the steam controller config stuff to combine multiple input devices into one "controller"? I have a controller that is missing a few options from the full set of xbox controller buttons, and I'd like to be able to bind those extra buttons to keyboard keys or something while still having it show up as one input device in games. For example, I press A on my controller, it presses A in game, I press shift on my keyboard, it presses B in game. That kind of thing.

I'm into Chapter 6 of my RDR2 replay and Jesus Christ the Beaver Hollow camp experience is so miserable. The gang is falling apart, Arthur is dying and it's all so sad  Make RDR3 yet another prequel, let me play as Hosea in his prime and shift to a young Arthur in the epilogue or something. That or (and  ) port the original game and release it on PC at last you cowards.

Well you guys weren't kidding when you said Horizon 5 had some of the most cringe-inducing dialogue in gaming. It may be a side effect of Spanish being my first language, but holy poo poo, this is like... whatever the opposite of ASMR is. Game looks loving incredible though, god drat. It also looks like it picked up my name from my xbox profile and it's really weird hearing the game call me by my irl first name

I played some Sniper Elite 5 with a friend last night, hoping that co-op would save that game, but no that game's just dull as dishwater. The levels are sparsely populated, open world-FEELING areas, but in reality there's tons of invisible walls blocking you from climbing waist high dirt piles that look climbable so it's still forcing you down corridors essentially. The stealth doesn't feel particularly satisfying so I end up sniping as many people as I can then handling them one by one as the rest flow in from elsewhere on the map. It's really the perfect gamepass game because you play it for just long enough to get a couple cool kill cams before realizing that's still basically the only thing that is fun about this game and uninstalling it.

It's my jam exactly. I mean I did get told off on the forums for admitting I sometimes fuse creatures based on colour combinations looking good rather than combat potential, but if I wanna play it like Pokemon and win with my favourites that is my drat prerogative.

Xander77 posted:Ah... so your issue is just with the use of keyboard + mouse controls? Oh, I tried using a controller profile first thing, then it didn't work well so I tried mouse and key. I think I'll reinstall the game to remind me what was tripping me up. I'm messing with my settings. I just (again!) disabled "enhance pointer precision" in Windows, which probably screws up mouse to gamepad settings. I changed my controller settings in Hitman to have a 'wide response curve' on the right stick and I'll see what it does. I want my camera in games to move very slowly when I lightly move the stick, and extremely fast when I push it to 100%. I think that's the setting that does that. (Unfortunately that can't make the camera move faster than max allowed by game.) But how does it work when using response curves on gamepad when the game thinks I'm using a mouse? I bet enhance pointer precision and response curves together can screw up a pad-to-mouse. I don't remember what my settings were at when I tried dark messiah before.

Actually finding the invasions to be additive as well- not necessarily because the actual invaders are crazy effective, but it does make things way more tense, and can force you to take more risks which make the AI more dangerous in turn. It’s not an incredible game, but I think it’s worth trying going through the campaign if you’ve got Gamepass. It does seem like they’re trying to make it more Hitman esque but aren’t quite there yet.

I've been playing Sniper Elite 5 as well and I think they need to stop calling these sniper games because half the time you're better off not sniping anyway. That's not to say that AA stealth action games don't have their place, but it's not much of a "sniper" game so much as it is a "saboteur" game where the player also happens to wield a sniper rifle. Also I second that the maps are still basically just series of corridors and I spent most of the time just running around obstacles or whatever instead of actually doing anything engaging, and this is on the "Sniper Elite" difficulty too.

The only other person I know that plays the franchise agrees, so what did people not like about CSD 2? I tend to agree with you (maybe not major step down but i have like 3x as much time in 2 as in 3), but it boils down to several elements: i) people who liked the concept of 'develop your own restaurant' were disappointed by the sandbox mode of play. Without the gated progression of the first game (which I am happy to see gone), the feeling of advancement ends up pretty hollow. The only real upgrades to advance your restaurant are pretty similar 'this chore shows up x% less' (and iirc even that didn't exist in the initial release). As you play a handful of days (initial release iirc), the Buzz will climb quite quickly to the point at which a new player will be overwhelmed. (My memory may be hazy but the option to reduce Buzz might have been an early patch and not release?) ii) A tradeoff against 2's more general + flexible way of handling foods is that fewer (there are exceptions) of the foods feel as well differentiated from the others. In particular, each food in 1 had its own level to ease you in with more complex recipes unlocking over time. This feeds into issue i) as well iii) on the technical level, 2 could have used a few extra passes for polish before launch. certain features like mouse UI for restaurant customization were entirely missing. My upshot is that most of the sense of disappointment was from issues of comparison with the first game. Whenever I played it I tend to quickly run out of inspiration and spin my wheels, outside of starting a new profile and going through all of the Chef for Hire levels again.
