I'm more annoyed by the fact that searching for games is horribly broken, to the point you have to reload the page like 30 times to get a chance of it displaying.

What are the gamepad controls for van helsing final cut like? I can't really get my head around how an ARPG would work without being able to specifically click the certain things, and it just seems clunky. Loot and inventory stuff in particular, but also selecting the right enemy to attack sounds awkward. How does it... work?

The UI is specifically tailored for gamepad, it's different than the one you're using with m+k. You get button prompts next to loot on the ground and inventory is changed into a list of items that can be put into slots. I actually found a video that shows how it works (the various inventory/skills/stats windows use starts at 0:33): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFlZmpGmOzA I played arpgs since Diablo 1 and also once thought that m+k are necessary for the genre...until I played both Diablo 3 and Dungeon Siege 3 with a gamepad and if I could I would never go back. Combat feels way more responsive when you directly control your hero with thumbsticks instead of just pointing him in the right direction. Gamepad is perfect for these games if the ui is properly tailored. After a point it's even faster to use a gamepad than m+k. Palpek fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Dec 29, 2015 |

It's just so much more relaxing to use a gamepad than M&K.

I've heard it said that the console Diablo III had it's gameplay adjusted to controller play, like having less enemies at the same time and a new dodge ability because otherwise the game would be too hard for controller play... I think. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

It's a dumb excuse. There's still hella enemies in console Diablo and the supposed difference in difficulty isn't so great and important that it needs to be so valiantly preserved on PC.

Okay I picked up Dying Light and the Bozak Horde. I'm still pretty early on in the game, I haven't hit level 5 in anything yet, and night still doesn't seem to want to fall. EDIT: Okay advanced the plot, day/night is happening now. I somehow put in 6 hours into the demo without realizing that you get a dodge move with Ability 2. That sure makes those big guys a lot easier to handle. When's a good time to do the Bozak Horde? Are there some specific passives it would be best to wait for? I know you can't take any weapons in, but do any supplies like medkits, lockpicks, crafting materials go in with you? (I'm guessing not.) Does this game have points of no return after which you are allowed to save, but are not allowed to go back to the city? Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Dec 29, 2015 |

As for the rest - the first night might be locked until you do some story quests and you don't really need to save skill points ever - can't really think of an useless ability outside of maybe the haggling perks. Firearms will show up later, it's both location and level locked. You won't see a pistol for a while. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Dec 29, 2015 |

I'm pretty sure the first nightfall is scripted, after that you can usually go to a bed to sleep until morning or evening to switch between night and day.

The first night is 3-5 missions in. Bozak is built for co-op. Not sure if you can even solo it.

Kanfy posted:I'm pretty sure the first nightfall is scripted, after that you can usually go to a bed to sleep until morning or evening to switch between night and day. Yeah, the first night doesn't come until the plot allows it. That usually takes 3 or so main missions. After that, time progresses normally, so you can either do stuff until nightfall happens, or, as Kanfy said, you can go to a bed and wait until nightfall.

I haven't bought it on PC, but I bought it for PS3 during a recent sale, even though I gather the last gen version isn't updated anymore. It's really good. Van Helsing's controls with a gamepad on the other hand feel off. Maybe I'll have to spend some more time with it but I really didn't like it at all. I enjoyed VH1, but I kind of regret picking up 3 to get the final cut. e: Also the load times are atrocious, the game has weird issues with detecting the controller and not letting you change to M&K, and it crashed when I saw the first waypoint. Sooooo

It only happens the first time you launch it if a controller is connected - quit and launch the game again and you'll be able to switch to m+k. Yeah, it's a dumb bug but it's easy enough to fix. I haven't really encountered any other technical problems with it though.

Rise of Nations is old but I'm enjoying it so far after having missed it 12 years ago. Its weird to see an old rear end game with twitch integration though.

anilEhilated posted:I haven't played the DLC but IIRC it's some kind of endgame challenge thing. Anyway, there are no points of no return - even after the final mission you'll get to go back into the city. Actually I did just find one. I was trying to retrieve a night drop from a power substation. It was chock full of zombies including at least one Volatile. I used firecrackers to provide a distraction, then danced around some of them to open the crates, then and danced around the crates to get the stuff. (I later used that same technique to snatch half a drop from Rais's goons without killing them.) I was spotted, and ran away, but dawn broke so the chase ended. It was near that spot that I found a guy who had committed suicide and he had a pistol. Probably a one-time-only thing, but I'll check. Unrelated, I know how to climb UP Radio towers, but I don't know how to get DOWN from them... without dying.
