Moon is a Harsh Mistress was a cool premise if you ignore most retarded libertarian screeds. Idk if most decent sci-fi can be adapted into a videogame though as most videogames are garbage Skinner boxes where you just grind forgettable enemies.

Imagine being as ignorant of both sci-fi and video games, and yet thinking other people ought to care what your opinions about either of them are. As for Heinlein, one glaring issue with him is his obsession with incest, which grew greater as he got older.

Every Nintendo controller was crap after SNES until they gave up and just ripped off everyone else's controllers and even those are kind of spotty. Unpopular game opinion: Nintendo "Pro" controllers feel like some Chinese crap you'd get at dollar tree and are sad cheap garbage compared to Sony and MS's controllers. I do weirdly love the joycons mounted in the little controller grip though. I feel like it makes me play games super relaxed and chill.

The original wireless Genesis 6-button controller is the best controller design of all time, relative to its period.

The Gamecube controller is pretty great for games designed around it, and pretty miserable for games that aren't. It just feels so good in your hands. (though I like the modern revisions with the C-stick having a proper grip)

Vegetable posted:This is weird because when I was scouting controllers to buy for PC use, most of the cross-platform reviews settled on the Nintendo Pro controller as the best one. I haven’t tested it myself but it gets really good reviews. This is because it's a nintendo thing and will get 10/10 reviews no matter how bad it is see: Zelda games

Having jump under your lower thumb (B) and shoot under your upper thumb (Y) and being able to do quick side presses to A and X was great, plus the shoulder buttons and the great D-pad and dogbone shape, everything about the SNES controller rules. Unless you were one of the madmen who would use A and B for jump and shoot

If we’re still on controller chat, dualshocks are easily the worst of all time but everything before the first Xbox 360 controller except the GameCube controller are terrible. Keyboard and mouse are an extremely unfun way to play games unless you’re playing competitive multiplayer fpses which are also poo poo

Dualshocks are great for fighters. The only D-pad I've liked more since the inception of the ps1 pad is the ps4 pad. Can't stand traditional cross d-pads.

All the playstation controllers just confuse me with those tiny buttons and shapes instead of letters, which you only remember if you owned a PS as a kid. I hate the 360 controller but i care about D-pads a lot.

The shapes actually have a logic to them, not that it matters a ton, but circle is 1, cross is 2, triangle is 3, and square is 4, going by the number of lines it takes to make the shape. That order is the same as Nintendo's. Unfortunately just about every company that uses them for QTEs is dumb as gently caress about it just showing the button itself. The only company I know of that has done it intelligently is Platinum. When they show a button for a QTE they show you the position of the face button in the prompt itself.

Dark Souls isn't a hard game for HARDCORE GAMERS. It can be a lot of fun and certainly beatable even for people that have never touched a controller before.

An old friend of mine finished Dark Souls, and her only previous experience with action games (not RPGs or turn based games, basically) was attempting to play Halo and being so befuddled by having to use two sticks at once that it almost seemed to cause motion sickness. Checks out I guess.
