Yea, I remember the first time I got a mouse I gave it a shot with Duke Nukem. It was loving terrible and I never used it. I didn't even know Doom had mouse support at all.

Yeah, I gets down with the homies

Everytime I do MiniLuv auth and recruitment, I'm reminded of how retarded goons, allies, kf and literally everyone in this game is. Vyst and Co., I can't imagine how you guys have done auth and recruitment so long without lobotomizing yourself with a sawed off shotgun.

Yea I looked it up and while it did indeed support the mouse, it wasn't mouse support in any form that a modern shooter would resemble, the mouse was basically a replacement for the up down left right arrow keys, so you had to move a bunch of keys around and do some .cfg fuckery.

Eh. You used the mouse to look around. So much like how it's used today.
Sure, you didn't look up and down, but that was because those directions didn't exist — they were really just 2D games with height-tagged regions. Even Duke's up/down was just a nasty form of tilt-shift.

Yes, you had to configure your controls. We still do that because it's a handy feature for a game to have (and turning off mouse movement in Doom was a pro choice). If for some reason you wanted movement and turning on both the keyboard and the mouse at once, you could do that just fine.

According to CCP "only 1.1%" of all players on a random day were doing courier missions. Or, put rationally, there are 1000 times more people doing courier missions than there should be.

The best part of that devblog was this paragraph:

You can see some interesting and unexpected things like the fact that only 1.5% of players run Incursions and 13.8% of players engage in PVP on any given day. The former is especially interesting considering the fact that incursion payouts were the 3rd largest ISK faucet in September, at 8.3T ISK, which you'll see this later in this blog, and on top of this is the added value of Concord LP payouts for clearing incursions.

so in order to bring that into balance they added a new type of incursion

so incursions will be able to be farmed by twice as many people

Someday they're going to implement incursions in wormholes. We'll see you on social media, Mountain Dew-laden spittle flying as you lay waste to the Doritos section in some poor gas station, your rage and angst there for all to see. Thankfully, you'll probably find some way to game the gently caress out of it and you'll make pubbies cry on E-O, so all will be well in the end.

Dust actually supports KBM play, natively -- just plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the ports on the front of the machine. It's the only sensible way to play it.

(And even if it didn't, there are devices like the XIM that emulate a controller based on KB+M input. XIM users are basically the loving bane of Destiny PvP at the moment.)

And every other controller-based shooter with PVP. There are several guys that use them for Destiny that post in the SA thread. From the descriptions it sounds a lot like it's not far removed from a hardware aimbot as it will automatically counter recoil and poo poo that controller players have to manually adjust for.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Yep, XIM has macroable ballistics. You can set a profile for a given weapon load out (I.e. "I always pvp with a Zhalo Supercell") and it'll adjust accordingly.

It sucks, but it's a nice thing that Destiny in TYOOL 2015 is determined by your input, and not by "I was/wasn't willing to grind out a hunter and a Thorn." Balance has come a HUGE way, and Destiny is probably my biggest time sink now, followed by FO4 and Eve.

e: Except for Mayhem Rumble, in which case Destiny is "either be a sunlock or suntitan or be easy kill fodder," because Luke Smith sucks wet farts from pigeons' arseholes

Incursion may be nerfed in a sneaky way if and when logi get nerfed.
A 40 man HQ fleet now uses about 10 logi. If they need more tank or more logi, they will put out less dps or need more people and thus make less money.

I remember actually being able to play this game, but when I just downloaded it again it's running at no more than 5-6 FPS even though I set everything to the lowest possible setting. So I guess they updated the graphics engine since the last time I played then?

My PS4 is hooked to one of my computer monitors so I already play it at my computer desk. The cost of the XIM just meant I bought 2.5 less new games one month. Considering how many games it can be used in and the fact I can also use it on my XBone/PS3, I feel I get my money's worth.

And to be honest, $150 isn't really that much compared to some of my other hobbies. You should hear how much I have spent building my own Arcade Machine.

You could equally argue that if they're very closely integrated, they're not really separate games at all and if you're getting messed up by dust players the problem is that you're bad at or have chosen to disregard one part of the game.

That argument was never going to work while they were on completely separate platforms though.
