i think Quest for Glory is the best point and click adventure series, its better than Monkey Island and its better than Sam and Max and its better than Indiana Jones, Quest for Glory is possibly the best computer game series of the 90s and very underrated

80% of why a PC is better is that you can install whatever software you want, including third party software that enables you to use your gamepad of choice

I straight up said in my post that I installed 3rd party software to get my dual shock to work on my PC dude. Just saying its annoying because if I want the prompts to change to DS4 buttons I gotta fiddle with every game.

In fact I made that exact point earlier in the thread about PC being better because it is more flexible when I made my post about it allowing for modding, but also allowing for hacking.

Mods are cool on a lot of games. XCom 2 and Total War: Warhammer both have kickass mods available for them. The best way to play any Civ game ever is the modded Fall from Heaven 2 conversion for Civ 4. You're right that a lot of the more cringe poo poo is sucky, but there are still some pretty cool mods out there.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING compares to the current state of Grand Theft Auto: Online. The cheating is more rampant and frequent there than it was in Diablo 1 when they started selling cheats in the loving Wal-Mart. On PC it's a sometimes unplayable experience where every single server has at minimum a single cheater.

Worst part is they are boring cheats and everyone does the same 5 things rather than having any creativity like they did when the game came out. No more raining dogs or ferris wheel rides of doom, now it's all "Teleport everyone to one point, blow them. Put them in a cage. Drop money on them. Maybe make them drop their ammo, crash their game or gently caress their displayed level if they're feeling mean." I'm not kidding you can't go a single server without this poo poo happening. It makes me sometimes consider paying to transfer my character to PS4 just to get away from this poo poo, since modders exist but are WAYYYYYYY less common there.

The problem of course is peer to peer servers. Aim bots and wallhacks are all we had to deal with in games before companies decided to cheap out and go P2P with no oversight. That's how you get situations where "Whatever I type into my console is law, even if I'm loving with the stats of other characters" is true.

Yeah I read the GTA Online thread in games sometimes and a lot of PC players complain about cheaters all the time, I've been playing for years on ps4 though and have never seen a hacker.

Come on man, be honest. Gamepads that are identical to console controllers were around for decades without people using them. It was only when Microsoft made one that was plug n play convienent that people started using them in any real number and games started getting designed to support them.

Saying you can hack together a third party solution is ignoring that 99% of the user base is too lazy for that.

Usually true[edit and probably a popular opinion], but the exposure mod for skyrim that decreased health if you didn't eat and stay warm and dry really changed the game for me in a big way. Survival immersion and exploring with a broadsword is up my alley. Mods can make a boring game next level awesome

Whatever you are picturing, it's worse. I know it sounds like a joke when I say "you can't go a server without a hacker" but I mean this in a completely literal sense. All it takes is one rear end in a top hat in 24 to ruin the whole party for everyone and screw everyone over, so the more people that login.. you're gonna get a hacker. Virtually guaranteed.

Have fun having your 12 hours worth of gun supplies blown up by the same old boring hack you've seen for 5 straight years.. the best you can hope for is a white hat hacker that will either crash and lock up the bad hacker (this literally happens, since bad hackers can crash you too) or just does funny stuff for laughs. They're the minority though. Most are assholes most often from China running the exact same mod menu.

ED: If it wasn't for my friends list I'd cashed out and transferred my character to PS4 just to get away from it.

Join me, everyone, in mourning Doom 2016's multiplayer mode for not living up to the original, or the game it was bundled with for that matter.

Why has noone just made a mod for it to turn it into straight up 1997 Doom with better graphics?

Soul caliber and to the same extent street fighter both suck as fighting games, both of them are entirely determined by first who has the longer reach and then secondly by who can land the first punch and stunlock the opponent.

once you're hit the game is practically over, there's no blocking or combo breaking so you're just hosed

Because it wasn't "just installing some software" and you know it. Most games didn't support a controller so I had to map half the buttons to keyboard presses and then manually rebind the controls for each game to the controllers assigned keys. It was a pain in the butt and there was a reason it went from me being the only guy with a controller to everyone having one when the 360 came with plug n play support and a bunch of games that utilized it automarically
