I guess fleshing out the side quests is part of it, but the main draw of Flashpoint is adding a merc game mode instead of playing the story-focused campaign. The others are fine but it's just more mechs and things mostly rather than game-changers. If they are cheap or in a bundle, or you like the gameplay they are worth picking up IMO.

Actually several people get creepy over Iris. It's not a high point for the game. It's a fantastic game otherwise but... The only person in the game under 18 is his ward and there is absolutely no creepiness there.

Is anybody else having trouble getting a Paypal purchase to go through on Steam right now? I'm getting that dumb pending transaction error and it refuses to go through even though I cleared the transaction and it's working fine on other websites. God drat Steam is stupid sometimes.

RBA Starblade posted:So he views 14 and 15 year olds as sex objects? The youngest character Date creeps on is 18 (I forgot whether she was 17 or 18). TBF, the game does kinda avoid all that by not having any adolescent female characters except for his ward, who is 12. By the standard of japanese visual novels the horny/creepy score is a little worse than average. But if you're coming in from playing like... any other genre of game, Date is probably going to be the horniest/creepiest protagonist you've run into.

i think the only person date is really openly horny around is Aiba and it's because there's a bit of id vs superego thing going on there, with her living in your head and joining you on your dream adventures. the second closest would be the receptionist at the record label. but mostly any perviness on his part is kept to banter between him and aiba, with aiba basically telling him he's a dipshit all uchikoshi games (except world's end club i guess? i didn't play much of it) have some horniness to them (VLR especially), but it's always between adults. that said I haven't really watched Punchline, his horny mess of an anime... maybe that one skews younger because it's TV anime and TV production companies hate adult characters??? i didn't really have any interest in it based on the premise-- if you generally don't watch anime, reading the premise for Punchline would probably make you fly out of the comic strip panel of your life leaving only your shoes The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Oct 17, 2021 |

Serephina posted:I have that very same question. I think that answer is that yes, it is. For some reason. The XBox 360 wired controller was plug and play and standardized pretty much immediately, both in terms of being the de facto hardware and in terms of having software support that made it easy to integrate into your game, as well as IIRC GFWL requiring Xbox controller support. Keep in mind that back then, this was before the modern era of cross platform and most games were exclusive to one platform or the other. MS would let you release your Xbox exclusives on PC, but they would make you support their standards including the 360 controller. So while old games were a mess, new games "just worked" which was basically a first for dual stick controllers on PC, especially in terms of dynamic prompts (which were just becoming a thing in games). OTOH the PS3 required fucky software that at first didn't even emulate an Xbox controller, it was like using a random controller that a game couldn't even know the axes for. While Xbox was building dominance, using a PS3 controller meant paying some guy for access to a driver that would work with some things and not with others, and often stop working and require a ton of fiddling to get it going again. The PS4 didn't make things much better. Additionally, through the PS3 generation and well into PS4 Sony was still in lockdown mode and strongly opposed to letting their exclusives be released on PC. So there were never any killer apps that defaulted to Playstation layout, and little reason to care about supporting it. So it's pretty much always been the case that if you're hardcore enough to actually use a PS controller on PC, the prompts are unlikely to be an issue for you because you probably know the Xbox ones too and are used to it. Now with first-party controllers being heinously overpriced and kinda bad in certain ways there really isn't a reason to buy either, and third party controllers pretty much universally emulate xbox button layouts. There's nothing to shift momentum away from Xbox style being the default.

I thought pads might be in the Steam hardware survey but apparently not, though from the html5 gamepad tester, you can see that 360 controllers (or something masquerading as them) are still above the rest: https://gamepad-tester.com/ 054c is Sony, product 09cc and 05c4 are the second/first gen DS4s, so they're getting up there.

The great majority of PC games I've played with a controller in the last 3 years have supported the DS4 out of the box and have PS button icons, it's pretty common now anyone used the PS5 controller for PC? is it the case that any game that supports the PS4 controller out of the box will also work with PS5?

Yeah it's still dinput so anything that sees PS4 should work. A few games even support the haptic/adaptive stuff (namely AC V, Black Ops and F1 2021 from what I saw some while back)

"Hey my second to last old 360 controller I own is dying" "Just use a PS4 controller they are better and everything works with them now. *tosses me spare ps4 controller*" "Good point!... Huh it isn't working right." "Have you tried doing X? And setting Y?" "Yes I have. And some of the buttons are still not getting recognized right." "Well the PS4 controller is better and I like it more and furthermore-" *cracking open box to the last 360 controller I own* "Uh huh." (To be fair they also helped me locate the 360 controller I'm currently using to even HAVE as a spare back then.) I do like the PS4 controller, but brain dead plug and play guaranteed with more pressure for a dev to get it right certainly has an appeal.

The further I get into Riftbreaker the more I hate the campaign. I was just doing that Tanzanite mission where you have to build a pipeline to transport water from one side of the map to the exact opposite side. I spent an absurd amount of time laying down all the flooring to protect the pipe from quicksand, the energy lines, and the piping which would of course overwrite the energy lines when they occupied the same square so I had to re-do the entire energy line afterward - and line it all with turrets. Then right when I'm getting ready to finish the pipeline, a meteor swarm hits that area, and while the meteors are swarming a bunch of aliens pop out of the ground and start attacking my power lines and pipeline and wreck everything  I'm just sticking to Survival and ignoring all this campaign bullshit from here on out

I know the difficulty for Metro 2033 was kind of screwy because of some bullet sponge issues, what are the "ideal" settings for the same level of difficulty in Metro Last Light? I was going to do hardcore mode, but then I got to a point where I had to throw knives to kill a guard and with no aim reticle it was a joke. Trying to use a controller was also a fun experience because I learned in the first 5 minutes that the preset controller setting didn't have a "mask on" function leaving me stuck in the tutorial for a few minutes while I tried to figure it out.

A lot of games have native DualShock support on PC these days but it usually only kicks in if you have Steam's DS controller support (and DS4Windows) disabled. I find it hard to play a game with the wrong button prompts (X throws me off every time) so I rarely use the Steam controller support unless I can manually switch or mod the button prompts.

it works just by steam launching a game, default loads per game profiles + a full system for picking configs out of the community alongside this, full gyro support with no weirdness, will still tellg ams with native ds4 support to use ds4 icons and bindings if they have stuff for the touchpad segments. even if it was just exactly the same as ds4windows it would sitll be better by just being baked in anyway

Rinkles posted:better how? Basically the only way it's beaten is if you're playing a game off-Steam. If you're doing it through Steam, the software recognizes DS4 controllers natively, makes sure it works with either style of input and rebind keys (as well as allowing you a selection of community binds for the game which people have flocked to, this is insanely handy on some titles), and doesn't need a hacky external program going to get it into titles. I can also customize multiple controllers on the same PC up to and including color-coding them or playing with brightness for night-gaming. I never had good experiences with DS4Windows. Steam just natively goes "your poo poo's good here, lady"

All the mentioned features, except for user configs, are in DS4W, and I prefer the interface (you need to launch Big Picture for Steam controls, right?). Gyro controls are probably easier to set up with steam, though. iirc one issue I had with steam is that it sometimes would highjack or do something weird with the mouse cursor (outside games) e:I'm not sure if it would work with games that need the Steam overlay disabled, too.
