I've got an Xbox controller, which is to say it's got a tiny stick drift, which made synthetik unplayable. Do you know if there's a deadzone setting now?

You can use the native controller settings of the Steam client to set a deadzone for Steam games.

Little. It's mostly for a specific and fairly unique mechanic that is introduced halfway through.

Oh I already grabbed it cheap at some sale, and then I saw it had an ultra short campaign and I haven't gotten into it. I know that seems weird, a shorter game should be easier to knock out, but I've always liked my media, movie, tv shows, books, comics, whatever, to be looooooong

Boy I wish Kojima had stronger convictions about violence in his walking sim and didn't feel the need to put in these very very bad world war sections. I did the second one and it loving sucked. I'm expecting that there will be at least another one of these to look forward to  And yes Kojima, the extremely Danish man with a very pronounced accent can play an American soldier, no problems there, your world is barely coherent as it is.On a positive note, I had a lot of fun conquering the snowy mountains by placing zip lines everywhere, which a bunch of other players are also using  And I just met Heartman, who is pretty weird and fun.

I own a Steam controller and those buttons are actually really convenient to have, so it sucks that the concept of a specific kind of button can somehow be patented. I wouldn't have minded those appearing on more controllers.

I wouldn't have minded those appearing on more controllers. They do appear on more controllers, Sony made a DS4 accessory that adds back buttons and the Xbox Elite controller has them built in, as do 3rd party controllers from companies like SCUF and Razer Having to pay a license fee to whoever patented it might be the reason why it's considered a "premium" feature you don't get with the standard pack-in controller though repiv fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Feb 3, 2021 |

I would use Steam Controller maybe exclusively if it had two sticks. Lots of really cool features, and I would have liked to see them expounded.

The Steam controller had some very neat ideas, definitely. The biggest problem is the lack of a second stick and that it just has lovely ergonomics overall, although the touchpad on the right side can make for a good emulated analog stick in a pinch. One thing I absolutely have to give it is that the battery life is nothing short of amazing. I got mine when we were still on the previous Steam thread and I have not exchanged the batteries even once in the entire time since. I don't know how they did it, but it's impressive.

I bounced back hard from really good roguelike games like Dead Cells, Enter the Gungeon, Risk of Rain 2. Synthetik can be far more punishing, but goddamn all the pieces fit together and the guns are so great. I've plugged in 300+ hours of SYNTHETIK, and I love it still.

Gamepad support was definitely not a thing that was planned for launch. Now that it is added though, even still, I seriously recommend using a mouse for this game.

I love the touchpad for camera control in third person games like Monster Hunter and Dark Souls -- with the right community created custom confirms (where the touchpad emulates a mouse, and not a right analog stick for camera control purposes) I feel way more in control than I do with any of the main console controllers. It's not my favorite for every game (d-pad is painfully bad) but for 3D stuff it's almost always my preference over my PS4 or Xbox controller

Peaceful Anarchy posted:That's not how it works. The bundle discount is the percent off whatever you have left to buy in the bundle. If you already have ME3 then instead of 90 - 17% =74.68 it'll be 60 - 17% =49.79 I did the calculation off of the 60 dollar price and what I ended up paying, since the only reason you would buy that bundle is to get the discount since ME3 is in the legendary edition anyway. The subtotal was 44.81. I think it may have applied an additional credit or something.

The way you can set the d-pad to be an on-touch toggle for gyro aiming is really cool and one of my favourite thing about the controller. There are a lot of good ideas in it. Just also a lot of bad ones.

I can't be the only one that thought "finally, the entire Mass Effect trilogy, with DLC, available as a single bundle, get the gently caress in". The first game came out nearly fifteen years ago, and the only sane way to play the other two was on console because on PC, even years after the fact you might be lucky and get it on sale on Origin but then you'd have to pay up for "Bioware Points" to get all the extras. We're 9 years out of Mass Effect 3, and even 2 isn't exactly a clean, easy play-through if you want the full experience. I'm in. I've wanted this for years.

There's a lot to like, and the configuring-the-controller metagame scratches a few itches too. But I need an actual accurate dpad for a lot of games, and it just doesn't have that.

I'm interested in the ME trilogy, because I missed the games the first time around (I was flat broke up until like 2012 and any PCs I had at the time were potatoes). Also I wasn't very interested in FPS games at the time, but I've since gotten into the Borderlands games due to my brother, so I'd be interested in playing ME.

I had already gotten burnt out on Bioware games before Mass Effect 1 ever came out, so I basically let the entire series pass me by. I'm still fairly happy with that decision.
